    ONE WIRE ALTERNATOR AND JUNCTION BLOCK??

    My original intent was to wire it up how G.M. had it. I tried both ways and the truck actually holds a steady voltage with just one wire. When I first start the truck it sits at a steady 14 volts now. The instructions said it could be hooked up either way but the truck was getting less voltage...

    ONE WIRE ALTERNATOR AND JUNCTION BLOCK??

    For my 1983 Silverado, I purchased a 140amp 1 wire alt., and the instructions say to just run a wire straight to the battery. Only thing I'm confused about is how the fuse panel will receive constant voltage. My factory wiring has a output wire from the alt running to the junction block which is...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Issues...

    Im not sure about on a 454, but on my 350 the sending unit is behind the intake next to the distributor. My gauge was doing the same thing and thats what it was.

    CONNECTING ROSTRA CRUISE CONTROL CABLE TO EDELBROCK CARB

    I bent and cut the included cruise cable bracket and drilled a hole in the existing throttle/trans bracket and ran a small bolt through it. Then i pulled the cruise cable all the way out to determine how much bead chain i would need to connect it to the carburetor. The cruise stud is actually...

    CONNECTING ROSTRA CRUISE CONTROL CABLE TO EDELBROCK CARB

    Anyone have any pictures of how the cable from a rostra aftermarket cruise kit is ran to the throttle linkage? Carb is a 1406 edelbrock.

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    Im just gonna look into aftermarket units. Like Rostra or Dakota digital. The controller and signal switch are a one year deal. Rather just have everything new. Ripped all the wiring out..

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    After using the test tool, the only thing that didnt light up was VSS. Thought that was kind of strange because if the vss was bad, it wouldnt engage at all. Unless its beginning to completely fail.

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    The strange thing is though is I have to give it throttle at the same time for it to resume acceleration after it first disengages. Here's a video of it working then shutting off. First drive of the day. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    After the CC disengages the only thing it does is accelerate if I hold the resume switch, and that's only if I give it part throttle,but it doesn't hold it's speed. It's just odd if I let the truck sit and drive it again, it goes back to working right temporarily. If I'm not mistaken, I believe...

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    Ill try that. I got a custom cruise 3 diagnostic tool on Ebay. Ill hook that up if the check valve doesnt fix it. Its supposed to be able to detect a short in the wiring, or faults in any of the cruise components.

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    The check valve that was on there originally didnt whistle, but when i shook it i didnt hear it make a rattling noise. Like it was stuck.

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    It is an A/C truck but its currently disconnected. I got a new check valve but it does whistle when i shut the truck off. It doesnt act strange,just shuts off and slows down.

    1983 SILVERADO CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE

    My 83 c10 cruise control has a new servo, brake switches, no vaccum leaks detected. I checked the switch on the column and that still works. The issue im having is the CC works fine for about 15 minutes when I first drive the truck then it disengages. Would that be a bad controller module? Any...
