    vinyl floor replacement help/opinions wanted

    thanks all. this has alleviated some of my hesitance with replacing the flooring. i don't think i want to spend the extra on the 'dynamat' though. it cost as much as the flooring!

    vacuum valve on driver's exhaust manifold outlet?

    thanks for the quick response. i had read something like that but couldn't wrap my head how it could figure out how to 'flow' from the driver's side to the passenger side without another valve of some kind up near the engine. :) now, i guess i have yet another vacuum line to figure out where...

    vacuum valve on driver's exhaust manifold outlet?

    google didn't answer my question so i'll ask here: sorry i didn't take a picture. crawling under the 1985 k20 to trace a 'line', i found it attached to a vacuum operated valve at the end of the driver's side exhaust manifold. it is right at the junction of the exhaust pipe going back to the...

    Dash bezel interchange

    check the headlight switch area. wiper switch in the dash vs on the turn signal stalk. check for a/c vent in the bezel vs no a/c vent. good luck!

    Allow myself to introduce......myself.

    you're right. they are readily available along with the coil/ballast combo. i was thinking a complete assembly in a faraday cage tucked in the tool box. along with a replacement alternator (fragile internal regulator). ;)

    First, let me again say thanks to the responses concerning my newly acquired transfer case. Anyway, I've purchased an '85 k20 from my son that bought a newer truck and needed money. My thoughts were to create a daily driving emp resistant c.e.r.t. truck for s.e.r.e. purposes. yes, i'm being...

    np208 won't shift to neutral or 4 low

    thanks all. i've really jumped in the deep end. my shade tree mechanic experience has been with motorcycles. inline fours have been my wheelhouse. hopefully i can follow instructions with this much larger project and have good results as well. :)

    np208 won't shift to neutral or 4 low

    yes transmission stick 'free'/not engaged in any gear. i've tried motor running, motor off, clutching the transmission, as well as what i listed above. the transfer case stick moves toward neutral (stick pushed toward passenger door and moving down/back) but never makes it to neutral.

    np208 won't shift to neutral or 4 low

    yes, transmission stick is free/not engaged in any gear. i've tried clutching while transfer case shifting also. the transfer case stick will move toward neutral (pushed to passenger door and down) but never makes it to neutral.

    thanks for the reply. i was afraid the case would need 'some work'. i don't think anything on the truck is going to be left untouched. 'preciate it. 'monkey
