    1987 Silverado 350 tbi crank but won’t run.

    The fix ended up being the ignition relay inside the steering column. In case anyone else has the same issue. Once I figured out it wasn’t stalling but cutting off.

    1987 Silverado 350 tbi crank but won’t run.

    I did replace it. Though with a duralast brand from auto zone. I had ordered an ACdelco last week which should come in tomorrow. But again I verified the pressure watching the injectors. I know I didn’t use the gauge.

    1987 Silverado 350 tbi crank but won’t run.

    I figure now it’s time to reach out for help from the community. I’ve got a 1987 r10 Silverado with a 350 tbi. Lately it had been giving me odd issues with having trouble starting it was hot and a stalling issue. Saturday I drove a hour to my sisters place, parked and let it idle for a couple...

    87 tbi voltage spike

    What are you doing when that happens? Driving, idle, city driving or highway? More details will help. Have you checked your alternator output? How old is your battery?

    Dual tank switch kills the engine

    I pretty much have your same truck. 87 tbi 350 with saddle tanks. Replace the passenger fuel pump, relay under the hood and the switch over that’s under the truck. While you’re there might as well drop both tanks and replace the driver fuel pump too. Also check your fuses under the driver dash.

    Rebuild or replacment TH400

    The truck came stock with a 305 actually and then was swapped to a 350. I’ve done a trans service already so I know it’s a 400. I don’t mind changing to say a 700r4 but would that be better or worse? I have enough knowledge on my truck to get me in trouble but enough experience to get out lol. I...

    Rebuild or replacment TH400

    Thanks guys for the replies. So with that what or where would I find the best replacement? Obviously I could go junkyard diving but I’d prefer a slightly used or rebuilt transmission. Nothing fancy. I don’t plan to build a speed demon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel delivery problems

    As an aside I haven't gotten it to happen again. So still no idea why it did it and won't do it again.

    Rebuild or replacment TH400

    As the title says I'm thinking of doing one or the other. Now as a little info the truck is my daily I have no other vehicle. I live in an apartment, but work at a dealership. So I have the place to work just I can't leave it overnight. It'll be the first time I've gotten the trans out of the...

    Fuel delivery problems

    I'll do that the next time I run on that tank. Been really busy and forgot to check for a reply. I'll update on what I find.

    Fuel delivery problems

    I’ve got an 87 TBI 350. I need some help with figuring out what’s going on with one of my fuel tanks. About 1-2 months ago I replaced the whole fuel system. Tanks, pumps, lines from tanks to switch over to TBI, TBI, fuses and relay. In the past week or two the left hand tank has been giving me...

    Fuel tank covernsion

    So for the final answer. Yes you can convert from 16 to 20 gallon tanks on a long bed. There ended up being no issues with installing the holding brackets. At first the front bracket on my passenger side didn't line up, but that was due to me not having pushed it up all the way. Bit of a...

    87 tbi would not start

    Definitely. I’m just not getting how a low oil level in the transmission would cause a no start. Air, fuel and spark. That’s really the only things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    87 tbi would not start

    Might not be the same issue, but I had filled up one day and then the next couldn't get it started until an hour later. Happened two days in a row. turned out to be a tank of bad gas. could be a similar problem for you?

    TBI tune after installing headers and dual exhaust

    Did you do anything to the throttle body? you might need to adjust your idle. I agree that putting the o2 sensor back in should help as well.

    Fuel tank covernsion

    For anyone still following or wondering I have an answer. Yes you can convert your 16 gallon tanks on a long bed to 20 gallon tanks. The longer answer is get the tanks in does require some creative problem solving. I don’t haven pictures at the moment but basically the front tank holder doesn’t...

    Fuel tank covernsion

    When I bought the truck it didn’t come with an owners manual. So I looked one up and got it. I’ll post a picture of the page in my book talking about it. For trucks under a GVWR of 8600 it should be two 16 gallon tanks. While vehicles over that will have the 20 gallon ones. It probably means...

    Fuel tank covernsion

    It is a LWB truck and after looking more at it I'm fairly sure it'll work out. Wasn't sure if anyone else had "upgraded" and maybe ran into issues. Thanks for the reply! I ended up finding where it said vehicles under a certain GVWR only came with the 16 gallon tanks. Mine is under that, but...

    Fuel tank covernsion

    Something that has me curious. I have an 87 R10 with 16 gallon saddle tanks. What would stop me from swapping in the 20 gallon tanks if everything was replaced at the same time? Meaning everything from the tanks all the way to the fuel lines to my throttle body.

    what is this part in the engine compartment?

    Can you find a part number anywhere on it? That would be the fastest way to find out.
