    Help identifying wires

    Trying to clean up wires In my 84. I know that some of the wires are for the speed sensor that plugs in the back of the cluster for cruise control. I’m unsure about the numerous snipped wires. They all come from this box under the dash. What is this?

    Suspected exhaust leak.

    I’ve had a ticking noise that has gotten worse. I suspect it’s the exhaust, I started at the front of the engine and worked back. I was going along checking the manifold bolts for tightness and found my back passenger side rear bolt was missing. I looked at it further and found that there isn’t...

    Quick & easy turn signal stalk install

    I figured this would help those who need to replace their turn signal stalk. I seen some posts about having to tear your steering column apart to replace it, this isn’t the case. Simply take off the plastic cover that’s secured underneath the column, it should be four screws. Unbolt the metal...

    Wrong compressor?

    Trying to get the AC going, still have to get the idle solenoid for the carb. Anyways, their should only be one connector coming from the compressor. Dark green wire that runs to low pressure and a black ground. I have another plug on the back of the compressor I’m guessing for a high pressure...

    Unable to bleed rear brakes

    I recently changed out the hard lines on my rear axle and the soft flexible hose. I tried bleeding the brakes and no fluid comes out either side from the bleeder valve. My wife was hitting the pedal and it barely squirts out of the valve and pedal didn’t even budge. I even tried pulling both...

    Let it ride or new axle shafts?

    I have my rear end completely tore apart due to a gear swap. I have some scoring on both of the shafts. I’m guessing from the wheel bearings. Would this concern you? Or should I just replace the bearing and seals and call it good? The close up pick is the more severe passenger side shaft.

    Slow windows fixed.

    I’m so glad I didn’t go and buy new regulators and motors. The rails were severely gunked up. Cleaned them the best I could I added lithium grease to rails and moving parts. I’m glad I didn’t go out and buy new regulators and motors. $3.79 for a tube of grease and they are working like a champ.

    Will 30 spline ring and pinion gears work with 28 spline axles?

    Im wanting to change my gears from 4.10 to a 3.42 or 3.73. All the ring and pinion gears I am seeing are 30 spline. More than likely my axles are 28 spline since they went to a 30 spline on the 88 years. I have an open rear end, so will 30 spline ring and pinion work? I think I said spline...

    Driveshaft pulled out of tranny with flip kit install

    As the title says, the drive shaft pulled out of the tailhousing and tranny fluid went everywhere. What would cause this? Axle sitting on the leaf springs too far back? It does look good though.

    CS 130 Alt

    My question is, will any CS 130 alt work on a 84 C10? Guy at the parts store said there are certain alternators that only work. Something about the mounting holes on the alt to the bracket, and the terminals on the back of alt? I already bought the connector, just need to know what alt to buy...

    I spent a few days running vacuum lines and changed out old hoses such as heater, pcv, brake booster. Also cleaned the engine bay up a little while I was running new lines. None of these lines should affect starting. I’m not sure If I disconnected something I wasn’t supposed to or what. I have...

    Speedo driven gear question

    My TH350 doesn’t have the gear housing or driven gear, it’s just plugged up. When I did the fluid change I popped the plug to see the driven gear. My understanding is it’s a 9 tooth drive since it’s green. I used a calculator to find out what driven gear I needed. It calculated a 27 tooth. But...

    It doesn’t matter how long it sits, the choke plate is always wide open. It’s closed in the pic because I manually closed it.The electric choke is wired to a 12v ign source. Correct me if I’m wrong but shouldn’t the choke plate collapse when it’s sittingover night? Also I changed out my radiator...
