    Smoking on acceleration

    blue smoke is usually burning oil, black fuel and white coolant. chilton book says compression values are acceptable if they are not less than 80% of maximum value, and two cylinders should be no more than 12-14 pounds different. also to do the test with an engine at operating temp.

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    thank you sir. so far so good! put down some cardboard after the road test and let it sit over night. no leaks so far. the new flexible dipstick is holding tight and new the new modulator is snug.

    Shift kits?

    Thanks for the tip. I probably should've done that when I had the motor out.

    Shift kits?

    Well tire chirping isn't all I am after, anything to help prolong the life of the trans. I just figured I need to add fluid this weekend and while I'm at it to save money down the road with more fluid why not change the filter, change the gasket and add a kit while I'm there. God knows when the...

    Shift kits?

    Gotcha! Makes some sense. This is what I am after. Thanks for the info! I have researched the kits but maybe not deep enough. The reviews for the kits are just about the install, not about how they perform. Sounds like trans go has 2 votes and b&m 1. Yessir I do! No such thing as too much...

    Shift kits?

    Perfect. I don't plan on racing "JW" but it'd be nice if someone's being a jerk at a light to be able to take off and be able to keep up and keep people from cutting me off. I've got an adjustable modulator coming so that should help with shifts too.

    Shift kits?

    Does it chirp the tires on evey shift? I see most kits come with 2 settings towing or street/strip. Both seem to quicken the shifts but seems one hits harder than the other.

    Shift kits?

    I used the search button and "shift" was searched but "kit" was too common to bring anything up. Nothing conclusive on what kits people are using if they have installed one. Or if in our heavy trucks are they worth installing? I watched the TransGo video install in aTH350 on YouTube from 1978...

    Rich can help you out with that.

    quick easy-ish 350 upgrades

    Gears will help with that too. Advice I've been given is put the H pipe as close to the engine as you can. Believe Rich said right behind the transfer case and you should be good. I have the 2452 headers which are the 2wd version of 2453. I wish though I would've gotten something different as...

    quick easy-ish 350 upgrades

    Answer your question with a question. A question you should've asked yourself in the very beginning. What is your goal(s) for your truck? Street, sreet/strip, strip, towing? More economy or power? Once you answer that then your budget will control most of it. I just converted my '87 to a...

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    That's the next thing I'm afraid of having to check. I didn't have any extra fluid in the garage and couldnt go get any at the time. Okay I was worried that I might've fried the transmission with the engine running and revving on little fluid inside the case. I know there is some bc the...

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    well might have figured it out. after getting my exhaust buttoned up today I ran the engine up to operating temps and remembered to check the dipstick. no wonder it probably hasnt leaked with the new stick is bc theres no fluid on the dipstick. I suppose it leaked that much out when we pulled...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    I still have my stock manifolds from my '87 and yes the drivers side has the O2 bung on it. If you just need the drivers side I'll let it go it's just sitting in the garage, the pass side has a crack in the manifold.

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    My '87 has a non lockup TH350 and was pulled out over a year ago and went back in without any problems. Hooked everything up that we disconnected then and even went on a drive to make sure everything was copacetic. After we got the motor back in a few weeks ago and actually running on its own...
