    Door Striker Adjsutment

    I got a passenger door that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out the adjustment on. I've moved the striker bolt all around and it still hangs up when closing and is hard to open. Door makes no unusual noises when swinging open or shut. Truck has never been wrecked to my knowledge. Door/cab...

It was why advanced, back it back down to 0 (lined up with that 1st, fat, tooth, and played with the carb and a vacuum gauge. She purring real good now and was holding a steady...

    Advice for swapping out TH400 for a 700R4...

    *adding gear swap to the list.. between 50 and 70 mph the truck drives really well on highway. I can pass with no problem.

    Advice for swapping out TH400 for a 700R4...

    Advice for swapping out TH400 for a 700R4...

    Wow, really? Why would they put a heavy trans like that behind the 4.3? It might be the factory original trans tho. RPO lists it as MX1. I just looked it up and MX2 is the TH350. Also, I know the TCC will be a pain but I haven't heard of adding a newer brake light switch for it? And why a...

    Advice for swapping out TH400 for a 700R4...

    Ok, I know this might sound crazy to y'all, but I want to take the 3-speed out and put in a 4-speed trans. The RPO tells me the truck originally came with a TH350 (has provisions for a kickdown cable too) but at some point the PO put in a TH400. Why? Anyway, I don't haul heavy loads or tow...
