    1973 ignition cylinder, back together issues

    I believe I read on here some place that if you follow an amazing link from this site, that GM Squarebody earns a small amount of money, so I try to post Amazon links if I can.

    1973 ignition cylinder, back together issues

    There should be a steel plate that goes over that spring that is the steering wheel lock when the ignition key is turned to the off position. That play is then held in place with a snap ring. You will need a steering wheel compression tool to get it back together. https://a.co/d/a2zFBci

    700R4 Transmission Questions/Issues

    I had one that acted the same way after a service. 2-3 clutch was smoked. Fine the day before, then ruined. People can give you some opinions, but unfortunately, there is no way to find the real problem without getting into it. And judging from how much clutch material is in there, there is no...

    Hi, I’m new here

    Truth. My short bed rights only slightly better than my Massey Fergusson 245.

    700R4 Information Thread

    Thanks for these suggestions Nick. I have tried to adjust the TV cable to bring this up. Park/Neutral/Drive/3rd and Reverse pressures increase, but low and 2nd stay the same. This is allegedly a new valve body, so it should not be a worn bore, but anything is possible. I will follow up after...

    700R4 Information Thread

    Nick, I recently got the 700R4 from my 85 K10 rebuilt. Transmission is installed and before I moved it, I pressure tested the trans per your guide and dialed in the TV cable. Here are the results; 1. Park/Neutral/Drive/3rd - 85lbs @ 1,000 RPMs 2. Reverse- 140lbs @ 1,000 RPMS 3. 2nd and 1st...

    700R4 manual low and manual 2nd low pressure

    It is actually a good question, should have included that. I am using Dexteon VI. The tech said standard fluid is fine (not that he is necessarily correct). Heavier clutches were part of the build along with a new valve body and 2nd gear servo. I asked for an itemized parts list so I know what...

    700R4 manual low and manual 2nd low pressure

    I recently got a 700R4 from my 85 K10 rebuilt. Bolted to a 375hp small block with a sniper. Transmission is installed and before I moved it an inch, I pressure tested the trans per the guide and dialed in the TV cable. Here are the results; 1. Park/Neutral/Drive/3rd - 85lbs @ 1,000 RPMs 2...

    Source for rear AC fittings?

    There is no expansion valve. They use an orifis tube. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9C8EK/

    Hydroboost not working

    Drain the system and start with new fluid. If you don't bleed it right to start with, air will mix with the fluid and you will never get it out. That's why it probably looks cloudy. 1 With new fluid, jack the front end off the ground and do 20ish left/right to lock both ways with the engine...

    Seat frame Question.....

    I only know that is what it is because I also did a reupholster of my seat and had the same mechanism on my 85 Silverado K10 and I wanted to know what the hell it was that I was looking at. I kept at it until I figured out the mechanism and the application and when I figured out it was inertia...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    If you are still not sure if you have the front and rear in the right spot, trace them from the MC to the Portioning Valve. If they are correct, I’d say change the PV.

    Seat frame Question.....

    It is there to lock the seat in heavy braking so it doesn’t fly forward. If I remember correctly it uses inertia to activate the lock.

    New to gmsquarebody

    Beautiful! How do you like the 3:42? I am trying to decide between 3:42 limited slip and 3:73 LS for my K10 cruiser with a 375 HP small block Blueprint motor. I am only going to run 32 or 33’s and average towing, with some highway trips in the future so I am inclined to go 3:42, but I really...

    Gas spilling when filling up

    Just a thought, if it’s using that much gas, and you are deleting the spare tire any way for a 40 gallon tank, you could go nuts and make it a three tank system, or keep the saddle and make it a dual tank. It is just wasted space if you don’t. Sounds like that saddle tank has to come down...

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    I know this isnt exactly what you were asking but (hoping this helps the next guy), if you ask ChatGPT for a parts list and an order of work to switch a 700R4 to a 4L80E, it will give you a parts list, and a list of mods you need to make for the project to work. I am not naïve enough to think...

    700R4 Transmission Questions/Issues

    Bru, I hate (really hate) suggesting this, but you may have burned the clutches out of it already with that cable being so loose. Drop the pan and see what the fluid looks like for a cheap di-ag and the coat of a $30 filter and gasket kit. If it is cloudy and gray and a bunch of gray mud in the...

    86 C20 - Climate control not changing position - cable or vacuum operated?

    That is the vacuum line that is most definetly not connected to the vacuum pot it is supposed to and likely your trouble. If it was behind the dash it is probably the bi level pot. I hope you are flexible!

    700R4 Transmission Questions/Issues

    Don't drive it if it is slipping until you pressure test the transmission to dial in the TV cable. You will burn up a 700R4 in a few miles if the TV cable isn't right. Was it acting this way before you replaced the TV cable or just afterwards? Adjusted all the way out is also probably not...

    Unknown Relay clicking

    Ha!! Ya know, my day is never truly over until auto correct gets me at least once!

    Unknown Relay clicking

    That looks like your conscience center. The round relay is your hazard relay. There two; the blinker relay is on the fuse box. I’d say that black relay is probably a horn relay. (yes I shamelessly stole this diagram)

    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    I don’t know what these circuits are each drawing but if it is less than 30amps, I would recommend this Amazon special. I installed it 6 months ago and no issues. 5 hot circuits, and 6 switched circuits. Connect a hot to the battery and a hot to a switched ignition relay from the fuse box. Power...

    4:10 gears for 86 k10

    Revolution looks like quality stuff, but they don’t offer anything under 1988’ or less than a 4:10. Any other companies you would suggest for an 85’ K10??

    LED exterior light conversion! not going well :(

    The reason the dash blinker indicators glow with the headlights is also because of the LED bulbs. The 1157s are basically two independent circuits; one for marker and one for blinker. The LEDs are not two circuits. They are one circuit with a high (blinker) and a low (marker) so when you turn on...

    Tv cable

    To answer the very first question in this post; Press the detention button on the side of the TV Cable mount near the carburetor. Hook up the cable to the carb and open the throttle to full (engine off of course). This will extend the TV cable to the proper length. FYI, this is only meant to...
