    700r4 stuck in 1st gear

    whilst all the above are good suggestions from people who likely know more about these than I do. I'll go with my first question, got enough trans fluid in it? just to eliminate the dumb stuff first.

    Plastic Vacuum lines

    when we did ours to get the actuators working again I bought an electric vac pump with pigtail and vacuum ball all together from amazon ( dorman 904-214) and silicone hosing. had to get a new control box from oldairproducts because i went to open my 9 port and the plastic disagreed with my choices.

    6.2 running poorly

    while i'm still learning diesel, white smoke makes me think you have steam in the system. I hope it's not a Milkshake who brings all the boys to the yard situation. what's your dip stick telling? Black as night or creamy goo?

    so after facepalming through my skull, it went on a nice long drive. hitting 65...eventually according to my gps. could physically touch the bit of floorboard that's been worn through to time so that's good.

    some warmth from below, normal?

    lines on the other cooler run to trans, the cooler is kind of dinky though so might go ahead and upgrade. warmth might also be due to a good size patch of the underlay and carpet is gone and the exhaust runs near there too. but its not Hot/scalding temps just warm.

    some warmth from below, normal?

    Today is a bit less extreme out. looking at the schematic from LMC Truck looks like the the trans cooler lines run to the Radiator. so i'll pop the hood and take a lookie to see if we got that running. will report back.

    some warmth from below, normal?

    the PO monkeying has been surprisingly minimal on this rig, it's just got the one cooler in front of the rad that I can see. the build spec sheet doesn't have a trans cooler listed, if that was something that would be on there (not that that matters so much on a 40 year old vehicle)

    some warmth from below, normal?

    it's got insulation, it's a Silverado trim (ooh lala) it's just been well used, I think i'm owner 4 or 5 and the carpet is original. Drivers side has a great circle where every foot has stepped to get in lol. but there is underlayment under the carpet. ya already sold me on the cooler, I got a...

    some warmth from below, normal?

    after consideration, that's probably an oil cooler. so gonna add a trans cooler to the upgrades list. how much of a pain in the rear end were the bushings to replace. the running boards on the burban and riding at stock height...not super easy to crawl in and out of. theres good chance...

    some warmth from below, normal?

    ok I braved the heat...well muggy heat which is worse, and I see a mini "radiator" in front of the main, following the hoses they go down and back, changing to hardline so I can only guess that would be a trans cooler and not a condenser

    specs: 82 c10 burb 2wd 6.2 700r4 now that i've got my big brown box legal i'm able to tool around town, get all the juices circulated, listen for odd behavior etc. so they can be addressed before I take it camping. after hearing my debt card cry putting fuel in it I note that the trans humb...

    Cowl retainer clips, out of make. what to use as substitute

    got myself a new screen for my 82 burb and the clips i got that are supposed to work that i bought with it aren't it. further digging takes me to a dead post from 2014 with some links and part numbers, which would be dandy if they were in stock anymore. But like a lot of 80's and 90's stuff the...

    Steering Gearbox Blues

    I had my Other Truck's rebuild by Blue Top Steering Gears and was pleased with the experience. the cost hurt but sometimes thems the brakes when you have unicorn parts. Chevy should be a lot less pricey than a bumpside Fords.

    '82 6.2 fuel sending unit - help me find right part please

    all those are valid. my trouble 90% of the time is WTF is the proper name for the thing, and where to order just the bits from. usually everything is the sold whole unit only. this is only our second project truck and first that was a diesel so there is learning curve to go

    '82 6.2 fuel sending unit - help me find right part please

    not sending accurate amount of fuel to the gauge the 'water in fuel' light was coming on. so we emptied the tank but didn't see any water at all. dropped the tank to see it was more or less empty. Husband did a check on the sending unit with a multimeter and it's not functioning. knowing how...

    '82 6.2 fuel sending unit - help me find right part please

    you'd be correct. i'm okay with going with a later style/ mcguyvering a generic water sensor onto the spin-filter or my husband is also okay with deadwiring it if needed.

    Refurbishing Dash

    you could, just like upholstering; using a thin but dense foam some clamps and enforcing your will upon it. plus Glue, Upholstery Shears and razor blades. shows a diy level dude doing it :)
