    10 bolt vs 12 bolt G80’s

    I have heard many horror stories of the 10 bolt G80 “Gov-bomb” problems. Is the 12 bolt G80 any better?

    The fuel pump died on our 90 Suburban the other day. I stopped at an area auto parts store yesterday and they had the options of either a Delphi or Bosch fuel pumps. They have the Delphi in stock, so I got that one. I see it is made in China. How are the Delphi pumps for reliability? Is...

    Champion radiator difficulties

    The factory radiator gave up in our 90 Suburban, so I ordered a 3 core Champion aluminum one to replace it. I went this route because I’m not a fan of plastic radiator tanks, and this is supposedly a direct fit. Well, it is 1” narrower and about 1/4” shorter. I will have to move the passenger...

    https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/littleton-83-c10-k10-chevy/7329364854.html This looks like a decent suburban. Looks like a 205 T case shift handle in the pics. Was that an option in the early ‘80’s?

    NP833 Shifter questions

    I recently acquired an NP833 that I am planning to use in my '68 C10 to replace the SM465 it currently has. This transmission was most recently in a '65 C10 and the guy told me he thought 1st and reverse were geared too high for his liking since he does some towing and decided to go back to his...

I ordered a new connector link...

    I need to replace the glass in the rear barn doors on our '90 Suburban. I would like to order new seals for the glass. I looked them up on LMC and they are $30 and Brothers have them too for $45. Is there any difference in quality between rubber parts from LMC and Brothers? I checked with...

    We have a C50 truck that has a flat bed on it that we use to haul scrap, dirt, hay, etc. Originally equipped with a 292, my Dad replaced it when it was in need of an overhaul (burning oil/blow by) with a 250 he had found out of a C10 that had recently been overhauled. He got the 250 for $200...

    Air blowing out dash vents even when defrost or heat is selected?

    Has anyone had a situation where the air is always blowing out the dash vents no matter what position the heater control is on? I can put it on defrost and some air comes out the defrost vents, but most comes out the dash vents. Then if I put it on heat, some air will come out the floor and...
