    Sheared steering arm studs

    Hey everyone, this weekend 2 of 3 of the studs on my steering knuckle sheared off in my steering arm. So now I gotta get them out. My truck is on my street and I dont have a lot of tools so I need to take it to my friends shop. Is it possible to take the whole rotor/hub/knuckle assembly out as...

    Extremely loose steering

    Hey guys, I have a 77 k10 with a stock remanufactured Saginaw steering pump and gearbox. My truck is sitting on 35s and I have absolutely terrible steering response. I can go about back and forth with the steering wheel about 3 inches to either side and I'll still stay centered in the lane. I...

    Front driveline too short after lift kit.

    Hey guys, got the 4 inch RC lift on the truck finally, but the front drive line is about an inch too short fully extended. Does anyone know of an aftermarket driveshaft or spacer for a 1977 k10? I would prefer not to have to go to a shop.

    Finally ordering the lift

    Hey guys, planning on ordering a 4 inch lift from RC tomorrow and I just had a few questions. Who all thinks i should get the steering box frame support as preventive maintenance? It hasn't cracked the frame there yet, but I do wheel this thing from time to time. Also, I'm concerned that with my...

    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    Hey guys, got a k10 with 350 and 1406. I noticed today it was idling a little rough and the idle was lower at about 600 rpm. Usually it hangs out at 750. Also my oil psi was at about 8 or 9. Never seen it that low. Any ideas or initial thoughts?

    Dual 12s anyone?

    Wondering if anyone has tried dual 12 subwoofers in a single cab? I just bought a silverado seat 4 inches shorter than the stock one so I can fit bigger boxes. Would love to here how this has worked out for others before I pull the teigger.

    2005 silverado seat

    Hey guys going to pick this up. The ad says its leather but I think it may be vinyl. Paying 200 for it in mint condition. Is this a good deal. Going in my 77 k10

    Altitude effects on a 1406.

    Probably an already answered question, but I'm gonna be going up to mount hood a lot this winter from 100 feet above see level and up to timberline lodge which is 6000 ft above sea level. Will the truck be able to make it up without too much struggle or will it be far too rich? Stock 350 with...

    New edelbrock 1406

    Hey guys, just replaced my old 4160 with a brand new edelbrock 1406. So far it's awesome. No hesitation and way better power. The only thing is I have this subtle backfire/popping at deceleration plus some wierd ticking/sputtering coming out the exhaust mainly at idle and off idle. Obviously...

    Stumble at low rpm in gear.

    Hey guys, was driving my k10 around today with a sbc 350 with a 4160 carb when it started to stuble after shifting gears. I would start from first, go a little, give it some more gas, then it would bog down. this was not happening last night but started this morning. What do you guys think I...

    Engine warm up question.

    Hey guys just finished doing the radiator on my k10 and it cools well with no leaks, only at warmup it goes a past operating lever about 1/8 of the guage and then goes back down 30 seconds later. I don't recall it doing that before. Obviously it does that because of the thermostat I'm guessing...

    Intake manifold leak

    Hey guys, my intake manifold on my 350 sbc is leaking around one of the bolts. Can't tell if it is coolant or oil. It looks to be the only spot leaking. I was wondering wether you guys would try and pulling the bolt and putting some thread sealer on it and popping it back in or if you guys would...

    SBC 350?!?!?

    Hey guys Im trying to pinpoint exactly what motor I have. I know its a 68 to 74 small block. I found my engine vin number (3932386) and it says its either a 305, 327, or 350. I know it is not a 305 because it is has 2 bolt mains. Im pretty sure its a 350 considering its a k10 pickup and that the...

    Transmission question?

    My sm465 will likely go out in the next 1 to 2 year and I'm wondering if I should get the 465 rebuilt or get a new nv4500. My k10 is a daily but will be wheeled quite a bit. I have a 350 ABC. Thoughts?

    Rough country trash?

    I've heard a lot of trash talked about rough country, but when I first entered the truck world I though they were the best. My plan was to get the 6 inch rough country lift for my K10 with the 56 in rear springs. I'm planning on doing quite a bit of offroading in this truck and am wondering if...
