    Power window mod on suburban?

    I never done a window relay mod so I'm not sure on how I should wire them. I have found several wire diagrams just ain't sure which is the right way to do it as I don't want to burn the trucks wiring up or burn up relays as they tend to get expensive. I'm going to pull the motors and tracks to...

    Smokin' Deal!

    I've seen this done on a drag truck but they took an old oil drum and chopped it up and made it into wheel wells. I assume they wanted to clear any imaginable sized slicks. But oil drums are thick and strong. Plus they have and end cap. All you would have to do is make a cut going straight up...

    Replacing ignition key switch ?

    You have to have the locking plate. It holds down a tension spring for the bearings at the top of the coloumn. He can chop off all the little numbs that are on it or he can remove or cut off the silver rod that comes out the coloumn that engages the lock plate. Just has to make sure it's poking...

    TBI to Carb Swap??

    And when I say 0*BTDC I'm referring to the harmonic dampener on the crankshaft. The distributer you will stab in like any typical H.E.I. Distributer. Such as rotor button pointing to number one cylinder and vacuum advance at I believe was at number 4 cylinder. I think that was a good start point...

    TBI to Carb Swap??

    I have thought long and hard about swapping from tbi to carb. We did it on my brothers 88 suburban and I was going to do it to mine but I'm just going to exhaust all possibilities with my tbi first. But this is what you will need to do. You need to separate all charging wires from ecu...

    Newly rebuilt 350 burning oil in cylinder 3

    Do a compression test in a couple cylinders and then the one blowing blue smoke to see if your piston rings are leaking. If it holds good and strong like the others then the only thing I think it could be is the valve stem seals. They sell stuff to change them with the heads on the engine. It...

    Hey guys and gals I have a couple of questions as to what these things are. It's on a 1988 gmc 1500 2wd suburban. The black with aluminum fins is located under the column and the blue plastic thing is located behind the headlight switch. What are they and what do they do? I've never seen them...

    adding additional gauges

    I've been wanting to do the same on my truck. I was told dark gray. But all you have to really do is tap into either the HVAC light or the light that runs into the back of the gauge cluster. Also another way is their is a spot on our fuse panel that you can tap into I think it's labeled LPS. All...

    Power window mod on suburban?

    I am sure it's possible to do it as it would be just two extra doors but I have no clue on how to wire it up at all. If anyone is able to help me much would be appreciated. I'm just trying to get it all figured out for now as I don't have the cash for all the relays or the spade connections...

    Steering shaft problems

    http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1812 I would look into doing this rather than dropping 235 bucks on that shaft. You will just have to get this shaft from your local junkyard, same concept. Or just go to a local parts stood and look into a replacement rag-joint. They sell...

    truck stopped starting

    It's possible the pick-up coil went bad. I've seen one go bad and when it was replaced it started up right away.

    Rally Style Wheels?

    I have a set and I they came them from Summit if I remember correctly. The previous owner had them on it. That don't make them in 8-lug unfortunately. I have the three inch beauty rings for it but because I have bfgoodrich all terrains they pop them rings off. You can't run tires with rim...

    cam and carburator question

    Q-Jets are 750cfm.... So why would him going from a 750cfm Holley or Edlebrock to a Q-Jet make any difference? I know Q-Jets have the smaller front ventures but they have huge rear ventures that make up for it so it doesn't matter if it's a Q-jet or not it's still 750cfm. And it does make a...

    Best fitting big block headers?

    His is all stock except for a edlebrock carb. He was looking into rebuilding it but it will have stock head bolts. What about clearance on frame and linkage? Everything clear good? If you wouldn't mind would you be willing to take some pictures for me? Would be greatly appreciated.

    cam and carburator question

    An RV camshaft will do you great in the mud as long as your in the idle to 4,000 rpm range any above that they fall down power wise pretty quick. Lunati Voodoo cams are designed for torque but those are mid to higher if I remember right, same with the CompCams muthaThumpers. Get you a 600 or...
