    low oil pressure

    I have a Chevy 350 HO motor, and the issue I'm running into is the motor runs with 60 PSI oil pressure on start-up. It runs well between 30-40 PSI while driving. But when I stop at a light once the motor is warmed up my oil pressure drops between 5-9 PSI. I'm currently running 5w-30 Penzoil full...

    Gas Cap required

    I bought new locking gas caps for my 1984 K10 with brand-new tanks and vents. The vents are higher than the tank inlets. However, I am still experiencing puking through the vent onto the ground. I'm guessing my new gas caps are not vented which is causing the puking but I'm wondering if a vented...

    Vintage air controls

    So I have a Vintage Air surefit kit in my 1984 K10 with their electronic controls. It works great and when I turn the A/C on the little blue led lights up. Do the controls have a black light so you can see them at night in a dark cab or do you just turn on the dome light to make adjustments?

    Ok I have a 1984 chevy K10 w/350 HO and a TCI Maximizer 700r4. The issue I have is that this is a new transmission and it goes forward like a freight train but backing up is a problem. When I shift into drive with my foot off the brake the truck moves. When I shift the truck in reverse however...
