    TBI - vacuum lines??

    Hello everybody. The previous owner has plugged two lines in the TBI throttle body of my 87 truck. See those two blue caps. Can somebody tell me what these are and what do I need to do to put it back the way it should be? Thank you for your help.

    Fresh air duct installation - help

    Hello everybody, My 1987 Custom Deluxe was missing the fresh air duct from the air box to the radiator side. So I found it on LMC and ordered it. I just got it and I tried to install it. I bought the correct one (26", the longer one) but it seems too short, by at least 2-3". I tried to...

    Pinging/knocking sound

    My truck, 1987 5.7 liter, unknown mileage (probably 200k plus). When I push it a little harder I hear a pinging sound from the engine. My guess is either pinging/knocking (although it does it also the same exact way with premium gasoline) or the timing chain. It does it, for instance, when I am...

    New steering column options

    One of the first thing I modified in my truck when I got it last year was the steering column. Since I'm a big guy I needed more room between the steering wheel and the seat so I bought a modified steering column from a website with very good reputation.

    Peal & Seal

    My truck needs some attention and I'm planning to completely redo it. My underfloor was completely rotten and all in pieces so I decided to get rid of it.

    Transfer case maintenance

    Yesterday I tried to put my truck in 4L for the first time. I had a very hard time to disengage the low gear and to get back into the 2H. Probably because the whole leverage/linkage hasn't been used for years. Any tips on what I need to do? I guess I need to lubricate everything....or do I need...
