    Old school Pioneer head unit, should I or should I not???

    I remember late 90's, having a Kenwood casette player that had auto fast forward and reverse to advance to next track, or go back to the beginning of a song. It was also a complete pull out model, meaning you could lift a handle and completely remove it to bring it in the house, store, school...

    Rocker tip alignment big block

    I had the same thing after my rebuild. I ended up using adjustable 3/8" guide plates to keep them centered. I think they're AFR brand. I'm assuming your Manley plates are non adjustable? I would try to get them to run on center through the entire stroke. I'm running 1.8:1,1.7:1 Harland Sharp...

    Best tires

    Maxxis RZR AT's are a pretty good tire. I'm running 35x12.50r17"s and love em for all around snow, street and desert trails.

    1986 Automatic Transmission Leak

    Heres another guess as to what that "rivet" could be from. Possibly somebody in the past used it for their valve body mod, plugging the hole in the 1-2 bore of the valve body, like most shift kits say to do to hold 1st gear at any RPM. Just a guess based on the size.

    BBC 396 wil not idle with any carb

    They are the slits in the butterfly valve bores, visible from below, they should make a square as a baseline for tuning. Atleast, thats the way i was taught.

    Who needs their TH400 rebuilt in Northern Nevada?

    Especially true with the TH400, considering it doesn't use a bunch of electronics to get the job done. Just good hydraulics and the right combination of quality parts.

    Who needs their TH400 rebuilt in Northern Nevada?

    Thank you. I've gotten pretty good at them from watching yours, and other videos and how-to's. Thanks for what you do for this community. I'm just trying to give back. To be honest, I really enjoy digging into these transmissions.

    Who needs their TH400 rebuilt in Northern Nevada?

    I'm offering some assistance in anyone who needs a TH400 rebuild in the Northern Nevada area. I've got some really good hard parts left over from my rebuild including a complete valve body, center support, pump, 4l80E direct drum with new race, two billet clutch pistons that I didn't end up...

    fuel gauge reading

    Thank you all for the help. To update, my truck was down for a couple months while I had the transmission out to rebuild it. I finally got it all put back together and went to fill up the truck and now the gauge doesn't come off of empty, lol. So, I'm now 100% positive it's the gauge/resistor...

    fuel gauge reading

    Thank you. I’m 99% sure it’s a resistor and this video makes finding where it is a piece of cake. Much appreciated.

    fuel gauge reading

    Hey all, tried searching for this one, but couldn't find exactly what it could be except for possibly a resistor issue. 85' K3500 with both left and right saddle fuel tanks were initially working as advertised. Gauge was reading accurate, switch was working, everything, etc. Then, one day, I...

    New from Northern Nevada

    New member here from Northern Nevada. Retired from the Navy a few years ago and decided to look for the truck I've always wanted, similar to the truck My grandfather owned before he passed. After a month or so of searching, I found it. It's a 1985 GMC Sierra with a recently built 496 stroker...
