    Dash clips- how do you get them in?

    I find lots of threads about pads, but not how to get the clips in. I have this pad from summit and it is of poor quality over speaker areas. Another problem is metal where you are supposed to install clips seems buried and inaccessible. I tried to bend a tab on one clip and it broke. Do I...

    New head unit turns on and then right back off.

    So, when I turn key to run, the unit comes on for about four seconds. From turn on image to switching to radio “frequencies” on screen, but immediately powers off. I feel like I have it wired correctly. I don’t have red wire for accessory mode, but that’s it. Is it going to be a bad head unit...

    Does dash pad go under windshield weatherstripping?

    I assume it does, but when I force pad down to screw it in, there is a big hump at passenger defroster vent area. Any advice is appreciated. -Dan

    Help with malfunctioning cluster.

    I’m wanting to get started on putting new dash pad in, but I know it will be easier to deal with this now. I’ve searched other threads and have found some info, but would appreciate some help piecing together necessary steps. So, only the volt meter works in the gauge cluster. It doesn’t light...

    Has anyone shifted vent & climate down & radio on top?

    I’d like to switch it around, but haven’t looked behind climate controls. I’d be cool to put radio on top slot with a tablet head unit. Anyone know what sizes dash speakers are? Thanks, Dan

    Where do you guys go for alignment? I keep hearing “we don’t have the software for that.”

    Are these vacuum ports?

    I put the screw so you guys can see what I’m talking about. I was searching for vacuum leaks and there was a cracked vacuum cap on this plastic piece that was sticking out where I have the screw in. In the first pic, you can see that I put a new cap on the other line coming out of manifold. Is...

    Tune up, than banging sound?

    So, has not been driven hardly at all since I bought it. I finally did enough to get it on the road, in regard to minor stuff like steering box, suspension stuff. So, I went and got it inspected and noticed that it just feels so sluggish with acceleration, of course maybe that’s what 175hp...

    Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?

    For some reason this looks pale yellow, but interior pain looks tan, so I bought matte desert tan vinyl wrap. Was curious if anyone had wrapped their rigs. -Dan

    What should I sell engine & tranny for?

    I’m about to do the engine and trans swap for this 84’ K20 and curious what I should sell this 350 and TH350 for? I also found a mechanic that may take them for partial payment for doing swap and I’d appreciate some advice on what I should ask for. Engine doesn’t knock/ smoke. Transmission...

    Is there a single prong Lock up switch?

    So I finally noticed some leaking from the truck, since I have driven it a little more and found that it is leaking at the shifter seal. Upon poking around down there a little more, i have a few questions I could use some help with. Is the single orange wire with a female connector on driver...

    How does horn get activated?

    So, I don't know why I can't wrap my brain around this, but I had to take wheel off to replace ignition lock cylinder and noticed when I took off the horn pad that it didn't push down. I mean, typically you push down and the button depresses and the horn sounds, right? lol So, can someone shed...

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    I've driven this thing around little enough to know the steering is very sloppy, but I'll adjust steering box and report back. Going over speed bump in parking lot felt like front end went up and bottoms out when coming down. I'm assuming this is a shock issue? Truck is an '84 K20 with a 3"...

    Am I missing brackets?

    Hi all, I am looking to get a/c going and about to order the compressor. From what I have found, looks like 'bracketry' is complete, but I thought I'd ask. By looking at brackets, I would assume it is the shorter compressor between the two I have seen that are available online. -TIA Dan

    Help bringing this K20 back to life..

    So, just bought this K20 and it hadn't run for a couple of years I syphoned out old gas and rotated engine with oil in cylinders and got it to turn on, but it goes straight to high idle, sounding like almost WOT. Noticed that all vacuum lines are gone except brake hose. The left and right vacuum...

    K20 pulling 19k lbs...

    Hey, guys and gals... New to the site, but glad I found it. So, little bit of background, I got a heck of a deal on a fifth wheel, which is my first one, so I knew nothing about all of the weight ratings and towing requirements. lol No regrets, but my current '98 K1500 can't do the job; 19k...
