    Rental trailers

    I just picked up a k5 and it fit on a uhaul. I told the the uhaul guy I was towing a 2wd blazer just in case.

    Can anyone school me on how the 73-75 k5 doesn't collapse on itself?

    I’m in the process now of building a 75. My original 75 was completely rusted out so I cut the windshield frame off of it, kept the doors and interior. I sourced a clean 85 and just cut the roof off it this weekend. I added poly body mounts and did not reinforce the rockers. I’m not getting...

    LS vs Vortec Swap vs Basic Upgrades - Cost Factors

    I have a k20 and completed the swap last year(lq4) Started out I was just going to use the motor the way it was. Looked very clean, came out of a low mile wreck. Last minute decision was made to open it up to be sure. Well it was toast. Some water got into from sitting out side and needed a...

    4" or 6" lift for 3/4 ton??

    Here is my 3/4 ton, 4” front 2” back. Originaly had a 2” all around but it had a rake to it so upgraded to 4” in the front. Now has a slight squat. I’m running 35x12.5x17. No rubbing but I don’t take it off road.

    2" Lift and 33's

    I ran 33’s with a 2” rough country lift. No issues at all. I ended up going to 35’s with a 4”/2” lift.

    Tough country or rough country ?

    I used the 2-1/2” rough country all spring lift. The rear ended up sitting 2” higher which I didn’t like. I ended up getting 4” springs for the front. It sits a little higher in the front now which I like. Ride quality was much better with 2-1/2” springs. I’m thinking I might try and...

    241c transfer case

    Thanks for all the great advice. I will jump on Facebook and have a look on ls swapped sq. Bodies. I’m using the same vss as the link above but mine is the pass through version. I think I’m going to just go ahead with the tranny swap. Besides solving the vss issue it will make the truck a...

    241c transfer case

    Below is the response from my tuner(frost)on the DD VSS(very bottom) I have it installed now and it does nothing. I have ran the truck with it hooked up and connected with no difference. I’m not complaining, the truck runs great and does not stall, but it has trouble finding idle when you come...

    241c transfer case

    I’m thinking of switching directions on this. I currently have the 32 spline 208 with the Dakota didgital vss. They just don’t work, even the new gps version Does not work. I have confirmed this with several tuners. I’m going to keep the 208 and add in the second reluctor ring on the 4l80e...

    Lq4 and 4l80e

    Also, were you guys able to use the original shift linkage for the tranny and transfer case?

    Lq4 and 4l80e

    Thanks, thinking I’m going to keep the 208 and just add the speed sensor to the 4l80e from a 2wd. What happens when you try and use 4 low with this set up?Will it just stay in first gear? I’m fine with that as I do t use it much.

    Lq4 and 4l80e

    Thanks for the reply, I’m ok with not having 4low. What’s involved in retrofitting the 208 to add a vss? Also, can I get the rear vss installed on a 4wd 4l80e?

    Lq4 and 4l80e

    Looking for some help on this. I did an lq4 swap in my k20 last winter. I kept the original th400 tranny and 208 transfercase. Truck works great with the exception of it has hard time finding idle and throws the check engine light when I’m coming to a stop as it does not have a vss. It does...

    6.0 Header Bolts

    I just did the lq4 swap last year and used the bolts that came with my headers. I have had zero issues with no leaks. I did use ac delco gasket instead of the gaskets tgatvcame with headers.

    4in lift with 35s, anything additional I should buy

    I have a 4” Lift, running 35’s on 20”x9” rims with no rubbing. I did have to purchase longer front brake lines lines. Skyjacker has them for the 3/4 tons. Not case drop as well. I also ended up going to a 2” lift in the rear as the 4” gave it a big rake and I was not a fan. With the 4/2 it...

    Garage Heater Question

    I had the radiant tube in my last shop. Worked good but did take some time to heat up the garage when it was left off. When we moved to our second house I decided to put in a overhead gas furnace. It’s heats the space up so much quicker. Hands down a big improvement over the radiant tube...

    6.0 LS into 86 C10

    Looking good, I was in the same boat as you. Bought what I though was a 100,000 mile engine. Started pulling it apart and it was obvious it had a lot more miles on it...ended up having it rebuilt. Looking back I should have just spent the money on something better. I think I got around 5k in...

    Lq4 swap question

    This is not an answer to your current question but wanted to Clarify my previous post on the DD Mounts. They worked great for my application as I’m running the original tranny and t-case in the stock position which makes the engine sit all the way back on the mounts. If it were to go forward...

    Lq4 swap question

    I used the DD mounts and they worked great. No issues. I’m 4x4 so not sure on the 2WD. I re-worked my harness based on LT1swaps site and took a few hours but was very easy.

    6.0 LS into 86 C10

    Here is what I used. No extra parts. This is everything. I cut the flares off the stock sending unit and used the compression fitting for that connection. The rest is self explanatory.

    6.0 LS into 86 C10

    Hi Joe, I will dig up the fuel fitting that I used later tonight and post. I used the stock k20 shroud with the stock mechanical fan from the LQ4. I will need to swap this out eventually for an electric fan when I put the AC in as I need more space for the intake to clear the ac compressor...
