    SOB’s Trailer Thieves !!!

    Bastards got me a few years ago, a 16ft enclosed trailer, cost 4.000+ to replace it. I am still looking at trailers as they go down the road.

    Need new Vacuum Lines

    Thanks, for some reason I thought I saw the vacuum line harness in a catalog, I guess not. I will have another look at it and see what I need to replace.

    Need new Vacuum Lines

    I have been looking through the forums and catalogs and I cannot seem to find new vacuum lines for '87 R10. If LMC has them in their catalog I cannot find it. I am looking for the lines coming off the selector valve and going to the individual vacuum cylinders for heat and AC distribution. Thanks

    87 R10 Steering Column upgrade

    So looking at the parts blowup of the steering column I see a part called the "Shift Lever Gate" and I am guessing that this part will be different for a 3 or 4 speed column. So I guess I get to learn how to disassemble the steering column. As it turns out the column I took out also has the...

    87 R10 Steering Column upgrade

    So I finally got some time and got the tilt steering column from the '88 Suburban pulled and into the '87 stepside. Had to replace the lower bearing and the highbeam switch but all went well. The wiper delay is working as are the turn signals. The only problem I got is the neutral position on...

    87 R10 O2 sensor

    Hi, I have a '87 stepside that I am putting back in order. When I got it it ran like crap but with the help and info on these forums it is coming around.

    Broken plastic link on heater door

    Broken door lever link. This is the plastic piece that goes on the diverter door behing the glove box. Anyone know where I can get one? I could probably make something but would rather not. Please see attached picture.

    Mystery Gauge Wire

    Hey Jerry, good call! I went out in the shop with the lights off, turned on the truck lights and there is light coming from the end of the cable. I noticed a small plastic fitting on the ashtray where the other end looks like it would go. I just never expected a fiber optic cable on a 30 year...

    New guy in Florida

    I am in Clearwater, FL central west coast. The Truck will be a nice start. It felt so nice to get behind the wheel and take it for a ride. These trucks do drive nice when they are set up good. This one rides like a boat with the shocks worn out but still felt pretty good. Ordered some new Monroe...
