    86 High Sierra - Spindle Studs

    I'm starting to replace the front left ball joints on my 1986 High Sierra. Truck is half ton 4wd. Just wondering if anyone could tell me if the studs that hold the spindle on are threaded or pressed in. I've got the rotor/hub removed and the nuts/studs behind it that hold the spindle on are...

    Module on valve cover? (1986 GMC 350)

    Not a lot. No cruise, or anything. Perhaps it's something to do with emission control? The truck is Canadian and did have an air pump and all that jazz.

    Module on valve cover? (1986 GMC 350)

    I plan on swapping the valve covers on my 1986 High Sierra. The engine is the original 350. The drivers side valve cover has some sort of relay or module clipped to it with wires running to it. Just wondering if anyone could tell me what it is? I'd like to get some info so I can figure out...

    Selector valve removal

    Well I did switch it a few times and was able to start the truck on the pass side tank. Not so worried now I had planned on removing all that gear anyway, at a later date but I was able to get at it this morning. Pass tank is out, selector valve is out. Now I just need to couple my lines...

    Selector valve removal

    Is it possible I caused the problem myself? I didn't hold the valve when switching to the left tank, I didn't realize I had to? I still plan to remove the valve sometime but if I can buy some time before getting to it that would be great.

    Selector valve removal

    I plan on switching my truck to single tank. Conveniently enough my selector valve just went on the fritz. The return line has been feeding into the opposite tank than the fuel pump is pulling from. Couldn't understand where all my fuel went. Just wondering how the fuel lines connect to...

    Side tank removal

    I'm not going to use the plastic shield again. I've got a set of brackets in good shape, new straps, a fairly new tank, and am working on sourcing something for anti-squeak pads, and longer line. So really all I've got to do is clean and paint the parts, test the sending unit, and to put it...

    Side tank removal

    Thanks guys. I removed the tank from my parts truck. It's only a few years old and in good shape. I took the whole bracket/strap assemble off together at the same time still attached to the tank. It looks to be the same size as the tank on my driver so I'm going to use the brackets,straps...

    Side tank removal

    Fuel tank brackets and removal Excuse my stupidity but I'm fairly new to these trucks. I have an 86 High Sierra with dual tanks. It looks to me like they are held in with large "C" shaped brackets that wrap around the bottom of the tank. One of the tank brackets on my truck has rotted. Also...

    5w40 in 350?

    Looking for some opinions on oil grade. I've picked up a 1986 K1500 with a 350CID engine. The owner before me used Mobil1 10w30 in the truck. I'd like to stick with the Mobil1 oils. Here's my issue, I'm concerned about the levels of zink and phosphorus. I've been reading the newer GF-5...

    Largest tires on stock suspension

    I've picked up a 1986 k1500 High Seirra and it's in pretty close to original shape. That's rare for my area so I'm not sure if I want to lift it of leave it unaltered and put as big a tire as possible under it. I know 31s will fit no problem, but not sure after that. Wondering if people...

    Detent cable question

    Just an update. I was able to crimp a new eyelet on the carb side of the old cable. Took it for a quick test drive and the trans will down shift when I tramp it, it will also hold the gears longer on a hard take off. Seems to work. Any reason why I shouldn't leave it like this until I get...

    Detent cable question

    Label is there, unfortunately it does not match the VIN of the truck lol. Hard to say if the glove box/door is original. Looks like this truck was quite a piece together. Things rot up pretty quick around here so it's common for a truck to be made up of several trucks lol. I should be able...

    Detent cable question

    I'm a bit confused now. My original cable is the bottom one ,that was never used on a 700R4, so why does that mean my truck was likely converted? Is it because the newer cable style (top picture) would have been used for both th350 and 700R4 in that year? The connector on the the trans side...

    Detent cable question

    I thought it was the original trans, but it's possible I'm worng. If it's not they must have swapped the cluster as well as mine only has the indicators for P,R,N,D,2,1. Looking at some pictures online the new cable does look like it may be for a 700R4. If I posted a picture of the new cable...
