    Target master 350 reseal or run

    Chengny I hadn't thought about the oil pump coupler. Good call I'd rather have steel than nylon any day. I had done head gaskets in the truck with the previous engine. I can and have done them in the truck, but I'd rather do those on the stand if I can. I think I'm going to go with a felpro...

    Target master 350 reseal or run

    Just picked up a target master 350. It has 10,000 documented miles but, has been sitting for 8 years since being pulled. a mechanic friend remembered he had it in the barn. When he stored it he put oil in the cylinders and plugged it off and wrapped it in plastic, as when he bought it after...

    Pinion bearings failed need help with specs

    I'm sorry I Didn't give enough info on my problem. I have set up ring and pinions before in heavy equipment and farm tractors. Most of the ones I have set up used shims to set preload not a crush sleeve. the sleeve is what is throwing me for a loop, Mainly it's not having a starting spec to try...

    Pinion bearings failed need help with specs

    I've got an 84 K 20 with a semi floating rear with 9.5 ring gear. The front pinion bearing failed. My Hanes manual says to take measurements and go back to the same spec. The problem with that is I didn't have a good spec to use. I'm putting all new bearings in the whole diff and I need help...

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    Yup the tranny is toast I checked the fluid and it's a bit dark. HotRod you bring up a good point with the contaminants trapped in the converter causing problems. I wouldn't dream of reusing the converter it's cheap reassurance to just replace it. since it could fail and take the fresh rebuild...

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    I Serviced the transmission and transfer case Sunday. I used Lucas in it like you suggested HotRod. I have used Lucas in my engines and power steering system but never tried it in the transmission. They have some good products. It seemed to help but time will tell. I used it to check fence and...

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    You caught me on the missing information HotRod. I failed to mention the truck sitting in the first post. Do you have a favorite additive that you like that works well?

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    The old truck seems to shift okay. I haven't got the new dipstick installed to get a true reading, but the fluid seems to be okay. It still looks clean and red. It doesn't smell burnt but that doesn't mean anything. I wanted to run it and get it warm to get the moisture that might have...

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    I did check the fluid it is in the operating range but I'm not sure the dipstick and tube is correct. It is in two pieces and could be wrong knowing the kid that put the last engine in it. I will be getting the proper dipstick tomorrow on my way home to see if that makes any difference. Thanks Joe

    Turbo 400 delayed shift

    I have an 84 K 20 4X4 with the 350 and a turbo400 and when you shift from park to reverse it takes a bit to shift and engage, it does the same going to drive from park or from reverse to drive. Is there a was to adjust this? I only see the shift linkage and a vacuum line going to the...

    What would be your ULTIMATE Suarebody???

    If something ever happens to the Duramax to take it off the road. I will be buying it back and use it to build one of my thoughts of the ultimate Squarebody. The engine and 6 speed manual transmission will be going in it, along with the rear axle to get disc brakes and a full floating rear.

    Gooseneck Hitch

    I have the flip over in my Duramax, and it has some miles on it and is starting to show some wear and is getting a bit of slack in it. In the 84 I have a plate with a ball welded on it then it's bolted to the frame. This works well but you don't have a flat bed floor when you not towing. In Dads...

    will 285/75/16 fit on a K20

    Sorry Green He backed out on me, I ended going with the stock 235/85/16. I picked up 2 that hardly have the nubbies wore and the other 2 are at 75% I paid $75 for the four they are more of street tires than what I wanted but I just couldn't pass then up for that price. Sure helps out on the budget.

    will 285/75/16 fit on a K20

    So I got the 84 running and now it's time for tires. I Had some 265/75/16 from the last time I put tires on the Z-71 I put on the 84's rims. The 265s fit well but are close to racing slicks. I have got a coworker that is about to scrap a truck and offered me the 285's with about 75% tread off...

    New Okie with an 84 K20

    Thanks y'all. The old truck seems to be pretty solid it has a lot of potential, really just needs paint to become a slick old truck I can't wait to try my hand at laying down some paint on it. I think it will be a good learning experience.
