    TH350 & 700R4 factory wiring and vacuum mods

    Btw, I do realize some of this wasn't tranny related but the egr valve was originally controlled by trans switch in fourth, and most of these were leftover connections that I didn't want gone and though of useful things to do with them, and I left out that I have plastic line going to new tranny...

    TH350 & 700R4 factory wiring and vacuum mods

    I started this thread in case it might be another idea someone besides me could use, noticed alot of people are spot on as I know myself some of the little differences that have to be converted and/or added or deleted when doing a swap. Put alot of work into my ride as I wanted it simple but...

    Absolute factory clearance & steering

    Thanks, I was thinking that was the case and hoping so, I bought a 14 the other day, the funny thing about that truck is that is has a real thick factory harness for the charging circuit, the smallest wires are either a 8 or a 10 gauge from the alternator, then it has some extra wires that are...

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    It did go through a tank of gas but I was wondering if maybe it could have had water in it, it just ran so much like an electrical problem due to how it was so hit and miss, one minute it ran like a brand new truck, very throttle responsive and all, the next time you'd turn it off and fire it...

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    It's mainly through the exhaust, sorta like when your battery is going dead if the alternator isn't charging, but it has good ground and voltage

    350 Acting real sick, But why?

    So today I get in my truck to take a load of things to storage, in the process, I decided to go ahead and get gas, but then as I was pulling in, it started acting real strange almost sounded and felt like a dead miss on every other cylinder, it was barely running. But then when I got the truck...

    Need high quality transmission seals........

    I meant "RTV" where there's an etc, and "malleable" where there is a walkable, but autocorrect got ahead of me, lol

    Need high quality transmission seals........

    I agree, I bought a TH350 Tranny that the pan and dipstick seals were leaking horribly, and I used the doorman dipstick seal about 5 years ago and a filter kit with pan gasket, the filter is literally like a screen on most even the high quality ones so if you replace that too theres not too many...

    HEI

    Watch out for the newer ones, they're good but need a ESC module (electronic spark control) my truck has one, they made two different ones, external and internal coil, I know your looking for the internal coil one, but if it's for anything above maybe 83-84 it's probably going to be one of the...

    Truck won't start after sitting for years

    The very first thing I'd have done if no startup occurred after so long of sitting, (especially after about a year or more) would be to check the fuel from injectors, or even on a carb I like to disconnect the line to it to see if it's got fuel going to it, just slowly unscrew last few threads...

    New dash pad from Cheyenne Pickup

    I'm definitely going to check that out, thanks, I've been looking hard, I've felt dumb at times for purchasing things that were junk at the least, and to know I'm going to get my money out of what I buy is what I'm looking for, I've heard of brothers, I believe I accidently ran across it one...

    No reasonable offer will be accepted!

    Those turn signal switches are getting real popular these days, and could put some duck tape around that pivot pin and jam it in there could get a few more miles out of that one, lol

    Interior and dash Pad replacement (and finding them)

    Kinda sharp, I actually like that, I thought about doing black, VB but the truck always held the memories for me and changing it might change the feel completely, but Im going with it in my 91 K5, I'm getting it soon and I'm wanting the black interior and carpeted kick panels and bottom door...

    Picked up this tach cluster.. how difficult is install?

    I've thought about doing this, but I'd really really like it to be done inside of my K5, I'm getting one soon and I'm wanting to do the RPM tach and though about one of those where it has a fuel gauge under but the problem with that is that you lose the seat belt warning indicator and brake...

    Interior and dash Pad replacement (and finding them)

    Thanks, yea USA-1 looks like it's decently priced, do you know if they are the metal backed ones? I've heard from other members threads that some of them are plastic and not quite the original pad style in ways of not being of the same quality, if not maybe I can call and see.

    Broke a 4L80e mounting ear

    I had someone willing to give me a transmission if I could fix the cracked bell housing, it was about 100 miles away but I thought about it since it was free, wasn't sure if it was plausible or not, or if I could even do it or find somebody to do it.

    New dash pad from Cheyenne Pickup

    Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for that? I'm looking for one literally right now and noticed this thread, I started a thread on this earlier, looking for an original, I only want original interior, I was actually willing to pay a pretty price (like maybe 500 something) for one just...

    Interior and dash Pad replacement (and finding them)

    Do you think it'd still be cheaper than a new one after shipping & all? If they even have a new one anywhere

    Interior and dash Pad replacement (and finding them)

    Where actually carries a real dash pad, the original, not the cover the half way looks real from afar, not sure how the LMC covers look but I've heard 99.5% of people say to find original style dash pad or replacement it's hard to get, not sure but could someone possibly post some pics of...

    Front Tire movement

    Most definitely, I believe I spent around 1200 for everything, be that was for steering box and wheel bearings, plus shocks, be and stabilizer, and other various things, although it may be out of line now, it feels a lot more solid, at least I know it's not going to come apart on me while...

    turn signal issue

    BTW, be Know it's an old thread but any help to anyone in the future could be sparked up from a response, hope you've got that fixed since then, and hopefully the response helped at least a little, but there have been a lot of good eggs on this one, you got some good responses

    turn signal issue

    Wow, I love getting into electrical and sorting and fixing, but I was going to say maybe Single Contact bulb in Double contact socket, because that is very common, (along with backwards bulbs that minor/major brightness is backwards) but further reading I would have to think about it because I...
