    83 K5 Blazer LS swap issue

    So I swapped my 1983 Chevrolet K5 blazer with a 5.3/4L60e, working on it every other weekend it took longer than I wanted but I finally got around to the first start, and it runs poorly. I noticed the intake manifold had a broken nipple for a vacuum port so I swapped it with a spare I had. No...

    88 gasser gauges in an 83 diesel?

    The circuit board on the back of my gauges were rusted out and junk. I’ve got a set of 88 suburban gauges I put in the blazer and voltage seemed to work, can I use the temp sensor from the 88 and the oil pressure from an 83? The blazer currently has a 5.3L ls. Originally a 6.2, had a 350 when I...

    1983 K5 blazer 6.2 wiring cleanup

    I’ve owned this blazer since february and I’m just now getting around to tinkering on it. It was originally a 6.2 diesel then a 350, I’m putting in an ls. Anyways, all the diesel wiring had just been cut off, noticed it when I bought it but wiring didn’t scare me so I’ve been cleaning up the...

    NV4500 swap behind a 5.3 LS

    The SM465 and mechanical linkage is being absolute junk. Second gear sounds like a grinder and the mechanical linkage has given me problems since I got the truck. I decided I wanted a five speed. Looked into an nv3500, trans alone was around $500 local. Looked for an nv4500 those cam closer to...

    Brand new clutch fork moves up and down

    So after having my throw out bearing changed to a longer one and a new clutch fork installed, the place told me that because of the ls swap my engine sits too high and that’s the reason for the 45° angle on the adjustment rod. I get home (finally after having to replace the ujoints in the...

    ISO speedo driven gear NP205

    After searching for over a year and jb welding it twice I’m here hoping someone has a spare np205 that’s shot or something. I need the speedometer driven gear for the speedo cable from an np205. I believe it is stamped K but I’ll have to double check. I cannot find this part anywhere and my...

    Adding AC after ls swap

    1983 K5 Blazer, originally a 6.2/700r4/208, currently a 350/400/208, soon to be 5.3/4L60E/208. The ac was removed before I got it and I know literally nothing about air conditioning other than my ole lady has got to have it. I know I’m going to need a condenser, evaporator, and the canister...

    LS swap transmission choice

    I’ve started the tear down on a 99 Sierra with a 5.3 and I assume 4l60e. I’ve got the harness and ecu out and taking it to Murray to be flashed this morning. I’ve done the ls swap in my k10, but I used a manual trans. This blazer was originally a 6.2/700r4/208, it now has a 350/400/208. I want...

    Clutch issues

    78 k10 with a 5.3l ls and sm465, sachs1050 flywheel stock 12” 1978 k10 clutch. My clutch pedal stays closer to the floor than I’d like plus if I try to shift gears quickly you can feel it grind for a split second before going into the next gear. My adjustment rod is maxed out at the end of its...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    So I recently finally finished my ls swap and started driving it. Once I’d made it to the point of starting to let it run more I changed the oil(before it ever left the yard) the engine runs smooth and quiet without any crazy noises. I used an aluminum adapter piece by lanzar? Or something...

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    So I finally got around to showing my original truck some love, and as always it has fought me every step of the way. I got the throttle body out cleaned up all new gaskets etc. I took the tps and iac out to clean it. Got everything back on and assembled, truck fired instantly and idle I let it...

    700r4 problems

    So I know I know I have too many clunkers. I just picked up this 1990 K5 blazer with the very powerful 350 TBI and the 700r4 and the unicorn 241 with electric vss. I got this for a steal because previous owner stated trans was rebuilt and won’t shift to second. Now I don’t know a whole lot about...

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    So I bought a K5 blazer a month ago and it has not moved at all. It has an electric pump but it lost prime and stopped pulling out of the tank. I gathered all the stuff to throw a mechanical pump on and I can’t get the rod to slide in? The bolt in the front is mia, I took a 3/8” 6” extension and...

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    So I ls swapped my 78 k10 about a month ago and I’ve been waiting on exhaust. I got my exhaust at done today and now the truck won’t rev up? I can hold it to the floor and it will just bounce and return to idle repeatedly. If I crank it I can rev it twice then it returns to no rev. The MIL...

    Alternator not charging at idle

    So I’ve had this 1976 Chevrolet K10 for around 8 months now and it has never seen pavement the whole time I’ve owned it. I still need to do some tuning on the quadrajet to get it running ideal, but it’s got an electrical issue. The voltage gauge shows 12 at idle and only goes down from there...

    Holley issues

    I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know anything about a holley. I’ve never used one. I recently traded my 1986 K10 pos for a 1982 GMC C30 High Sierra(my first gmc aswell) truck was originally a diesel supposedly and swapped to a 350. It’s got a holley carb and that’s about all I know about the...

    Stumble under quick wot

    1978 Chevrolet K10 350/sm465. Today I replaced my distributor because the vacuum advance didn’t work and I was hoping this would solve my issue. So if I’m sitting at idle and just stomp it to the floor it kinda stumbles. Timing should be around 12-14° I can’t read the tab just counted the...

    Goodwrench crate engine smoking from passenger side exhaust

    So I just picked up this Frankenstein truck that’s got a goodwrench 350 with “<30k” on it. It’s been sitting some odd years due to previous gent said it was flooding out and running rich. I put a battery on it gave it a shot of brake clean and it fired right up and idled, but it’s most...

    1978 Chevrolet K10 350/SM465/NP205. I’m going to start with saying this truck is my work truck and it has a utility bed on it mostly full of all my tools. The truck had an issue a while back where you literally could not take off in first it would shake so bad similar to a wheel hop feeling, so...

    Honestly not sure how dumb this question might be and I can’t find a direct answer or figure it out myself. I’ve got a 1976 Chevrolet k10 350/350/np203 with the auto hubs in the front, they’re just chrome cups and I have no idea how to get them off… the truck has new rotors(still have the...
