    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    When I got it, it was pinging so bad. It was at 40 deg advanced. The sticker on the air cleaner says 4 deg, I put it at 6-8 deg. It runs better but has trouble starting when cold. Usually takes 3 cranks and 5 pumps on the accelerator. Maybe it's that heat riser....

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    I think I'll keep it factory and just tighten it up. I love the fact that it's all original. I saw it and freaked out.

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    Is the heat riser valve the one that doesn't have a hose on it? It looks like it is supposed to attach to the brown/tan port coming off the air cleaner but it's broken. I dont know if that's actually where it goes or not. It runs good. Really smooth. It likes to die at just off idle as you...

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    I picked up this 1982 K20 and it runs pretty good. It's almost all original under the hood. Air pump, air injection on the manifolds. It starts and runs well, but I'm debating headers. I've never had one like this, so original. But it doesn't have much power. The original air cleaner is still on...

    Frame identification

    Not sure where to post this, but my k20 has a stamp on the frame. I've never seen one stamped.

    Dual battery setup questions

    My dual battery setup has parts inline on the positive side of my auxiliary battery. Does anyone know what they are? This is on the passenger side just off the isolator. There is also one about a foot away from the battery and accessories are attached to a post going that way. I'm thinking...

    Wipers turn on after random components are shut off.

    $1,500. It's a 1982 k20 Silverado. Low miles and almost completely original. 4" lift. Truck is in amazing condition. It sat for a long time and needs a little work.

    Wipers turn on after random components are shut off.

    My wipers have the knob you twist. I've never seen one like this. It seems to be a LO speed.

    Wipers turn on after random components are shut off.

    I just picked up another square. It's an 82 k20 Silverado. I turn off the ac or the lights and the wipers come on for one sweep then stop. Anyone have any thoughts why?

    power window relay mod

    So is your relay kit plug and play? What all do I need to do to install it? Is the auto down an option for a stock power window setup? I lubed everything up and it's still slow. If your setup is plug and play I need one lol.

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    It will have one or the other style hub. In 71' I believe they were the big hub, but that was a long time ago. Until you put eyes on it this is all speculation. I've seen 10 bolts with big hubs. I bought a 72' d44 and it had little hubs. Get your hands on it and we'll identify it for you.

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    Actually the spindles are the same and you can get bearings at rockauto or lmc. The inner race that rides on the spindle is the same diameter. I have a set of each kind of hub and have switched back and forth without issue. Swapping the spindle won't change anything. If you have a set of newer...

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    The later hub bearings are the same 1/2 to 3/4 ton d44 to 10 bolt.

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    If they have external lock out hubs the inner bearing is bigger. The lock outs have 6 bolts mounting them to the hub. The bolts like to back out and break.

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    It's a lsd or posi yes. Open until one side starts to slip then the other side starts to engage. I snapped shafts all the damn time. I was about to upgrade to a 60 when I flipped it. It had a bad ass 454 too and I never was shy of wide open and we don't have mud. All Rocky mountains lol. Not as...

    I had a Trac lok in d44 front and would snap shafts all the time .

    Gear/Tire Size/Motor/Tranny Combo

    My 1980 swb had a mildly built 454/th350/np205/35s/4.10s. I could cruise all day at 80-85 mph, 3,000-3,300 rpms. It was locked front and rear and in 4 low it would smoke all 4 tires down the street. I had rear disc so I couldn't brake and light em up. Either way I wanted lower gears and taller...

    Dana 3/4 vs 1 ton?

    30 spline at the diff like a d44? So can you use these shafts on a d44? 10 bolts were 28 or 29 I can't remember, but the d44 inners were 30. All the outers were 19. The inner spline count won't effect swapping 6 to 8 lug though. That doesn't matter.
