    Keyless entry upgrade

    I added this little guy two years ago. Wiring wasn’t a major pain and it is still working just fine. Since it triggers the locks by bypassing the switch, it actually is much stronger than using the door switch which in my truck barely has enough power to raise and lower both locks...

    LED conversion

    I use these too. They work, but if you have marker lights on the blinker flash is so dim, it is barely discernible. They work great with no marker lights on.

    Precision windshield gasket, self locking or lock strip?

    FYI, I paid a guy to put mine in, but I bought the windshield seal with the chrome insert from LMC ahead of time so he would have all the parts. The LMC insert cracked and fell apart when he was putting it in, so I had to revert to the black insert. Hope this saves you a Few bucks and some time...

    Help! My coolant temp heats up fast in idle or slow-moving traffic (around 210F+) then decreases when I start driving (around 170F-190)

    If the fan keeps spinning after you shut off the truck, then (as stated above) bad clutch.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/high-pressure-fuel-pump-install.45560/ righteous project I drive. Check out this thread I started. I recently switched over to in tank electric pumps. I think I solved a lot of the questions you have, but maybe not all of them. FYI, the inline pump after...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Thanks for the reply. Interesting solution. I didn’t think of powering the pumps through the switch from the sniper. I had it in my mind that some how I was going to have to use a relay so that I wasn’t pulling power through the stick wiring. The 12-308 says they need a minimum 12guage wire...

    Cowl Piece

    That is an access door to unbolt the wiper motor from the wiper arm linkage to replace the motor. I believe they originally came with rubber grommets that covered the whole. I couldn’t find one and ended up making a new door out out a piece of sheet metal and sealed it with silicone Do...

    A new comer with a problem

    Yes, they will ship full panels via FedEx. The largest thing I bought from them was a full radiator support.

    1982 C30, idea for active triple tanks, not just a transfer tank.

    This should. Curious to know it turns out!

    dumfounded

    You absolutely need to take some strain off the factory wiring. In my opinion, it was under engineered from the factory. You HAVE TO use some relays. Amazon will sell you 10 relays for like $30. Fans, fuel, water pumps should all be wired direct to a battery (with a fuse) activated by a relay...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    I think I maybe going to this set up sooner than I thought. I don’t think the inline can pull the fuel. Question, when you wired the in tank pumps, how did you switch power between the two pumps? Did you use a relay and if so, what did you use to trigger it?? I will need to power them from...

    A new comer with a problem

    The LMC panels are good replacements. On my 85 short bed, I did the floor, kick panel, rockers, cab corners and a bed side patch behind the tires. No issues, they also have some updated parts for behind the tires to mitigate mud and rot that worked well. They will drop ship a whole bed side to you.

    More Washer Pump Questions

    Your problem is probably the multi pin relay that the switch connects to at the bottom of the steering column. Find the pink wire going to towards the fire wall. This is the ground wire. Tap it with a press on connector and run a second wire out of the in-line tap. Touch your new wire to any...

    K10 fuel line for Holley sniper truck has dual tanks but I’m buying the hokey tank with the efi fuel pump it I’m needing a line kit for just one tank

    Is anyone going to comment on probably the cleanest frame I have ever seen on a Square? If that isn’t a replacement frame, then my hat is off to you. The original lines were run on the inside of the passenger side rake rail. Nothing can get to them in there, especially not a wrench

    washer pump not working

    Here is your module (below), which is likely your problem. The actual wiper switch is the first thing put into the steering column and the last thing to come out. You have to disassemble the entire column. If you end up trying it, I’d recommend you remove the column from the truck and do it...

    Sagging doors: where to start?

    Open the door, grab the bottom corner and see if it moves up and down. Keep an eye on the hinge pins when you shake it. That is where you want to start. You can replace the hinges one at a time. Open the door, put a jack stand under the corner and take the hinge all the way off the truck one...

    One more electrical plug identification

    Green is definetly Water temp. The three prong goes to the oil pressure sending unit behind the distributor, but the sending unit only has two prongs from it, the two vertices. The sensor does not use horizontal female on the plug.

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Also found this little gem on LMC’s website. I haven’t seen something like this for sale anywhere else. https://www.lmctruck.com/fuel-system/fuel-pumps/fuel-pump-control-module-15 Still no motor in the truck yet, but I will be sure to follow up when I get this done and running!

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Man, this looks like the way to go. I am already committed to this inline set up, but I might mortgage the house and put two of these in the shelf!

    Steering Column needs to be rebuild

    If you have enough skill to get the whole column out today the truck I think you can do the build yourself. All you need is a big table and a lot of patience. I tried to do mine while it was still in the truck and regretted it immediately. If it has all the bells and whistles (tilt, intermittent...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Finally updating the powertrain on my 85 K10 Silverado short bed with a BluePrint turn-key, fuel injected 350. I am going to have to upgrade to a high pressure fuel pump obviously but I wanted to check with the group first before I install this. My issue is that I have dual fuel tanks so I...

    Please Help I'm Stuck!

    Check under dash and see look for this connector. It will be somewhere around the base of the column, but you won’t need to pull much apart. I don’t think your AC duct will be in the way either. It is a flat connector with two pins on each side. There is no other connector on the truck that fits...

    Intermittent steering wander?

    I had the same/similar issue. Blazer with a 6” lift. Guy before didn’t have it set up, and a 6” lift is way too high for such a short truck (my opinion). It kept loosening bolts on the steering box, and I expected eventually it was just going to crack the frame. I eventually figured out the...
