    Squeaky and leaky brakes/pedal

    What happens if the cylinder goes bad. Im getting sure the squealing up front occasionally is brake pads because if it squeals and i push it harder itll stop. Sent from my Reddot R50 using Tapatalk

    Squeaky and leaky brakes/pedal

    On my 77 previous owner sent 2 wheel cylinders with the truck. I have looked at the rear right so far and i noticed behind the rubber sleeve it looks just a tad bit wet there. And according to what ive been told in the back if a wheel cylinder is bad it'll show signs like squealing brakes(pads...

    Loose valves

    It all started today when i was just tired of a sluggish 4 barrel(only 2 barrel operate??) I had a 400 2barrel in a 79 camero. It was a absolute blast to drive. I checked timing it was way off. Too retarded, so i advanced it a little. Now its better on gas and definatly roasts the tires...

    Is this cab worth trying to save?!

    Those photos look identical to mine. All my rust is mainly 2 floor pans. 2 bed wheel tubs and one bottom door rocker. I spent 75$ so far on new sheet metal. Rust of course has at the paint on the chassis but ima coat that with sprsy on liner. Id say save it. This is my daily driver so work will...

    High torque starter?

    It did. Like a hard start. Pumped it 4 times qnd by the time i flipped the key. It started. U dont know how to adjust a carb. I usually turn both sides one by one until the motor bogs out and back it up a little so itll run. Then do 1 full counter clockwise spin from there. Seems like im still...

    High torque starter?

    On a cold start i pump the gas 1-2 times and on the 5th revolution it fires up. During a hot start the motor barely turns over with only the flip of the key and its running. Ive looked at the starter i cant seem to find any brand/model # but im curious ive had a few carburated motors and...

    shakes while braking

    If it's in the front, it sounds to me like your rotors are warped. My truck has 109,000 on it 9,000 on a fresh drivetrain. PO said rotors and drums are factory and were turned according to specifications and intervals. It only took 1000 miles of hotrodding it for the fronts to warp. On top of...

    NP208 Rebuild_Level of difficulty?

    No special tools that i can think of other than measuring devices. Ive never rebuilt one but heard it takes 2-3 hours if your not used to rebuilding one. But im sure theres probably going to be 3-4 speciality tools you might need. Sent from my Reddot R50 using Tapatalk

    700r4 only shifts when I let off the gas.

    My 77 c10 was like that. Long story short my 305/350 was swapped out for a 68-72 400sbc with a 700r4 out of k1500. It was shifting according to this.. 1st gear would max out at 30mph. Felt like a stage 2-3 shiftkit. Id have to let off the gas. I adjusted my tv cable. Pulled it halfway out and...

    No brake lights.

    I never had the chance to check power to the orange and white brake seitch wires. But i think i found y problem. I was curious and tired of reading so i checked power all my fuses had 12 volts besides the brake light fuse. (Below round fuse, top left). When i probed both terminals with my...

    No brake lights.

    I put a new fuse in just to make sure that the fuse wasnt the problem. Even though the 'old' one was fairly new. Grabbed a 2 connector brake light switch from a 86 at work. Plugged the connector into both. Still didnt solve my problem. I used my test light and checked all my fuses under the...
