TH400 Kick Down Solenoid
Gents, I just did a trans service on my TH 400 and replaced the kickdown solenoid, vacuum modulator, gasket, fluid and filter. The truck didn't have proper kick down prior to the service and still doesn't after replacing all the parts although it s Up shifts and down shifts perfectly otherwise...- Stormhawk

Mystery Connector
Gents, Any idea what this connector could be for? It’s on the passenger side below the radiator. The wire is spliced back into the wiring harness in the bumper and I can’t trace it. Truck is an 83 K20 350/TH400. I know this truck was used in the past to tow a trailer/5th wheel, and there was...- Stormhawk

Spare tire carrier? DONE, installed an in bed carrier
How has this LMC tire mount held up? I'm pondering getting the same one for my '83 K20, but I'm afraid of getting weak, wobbly garbage.- Stormhawk

More Washer Pump Questions
Gents, I need to find a cost effective fix for my washer pump. Truck is an '83 K20 with the multi speed wiper switch on the dash. The wipers work great, but my washer fluid pump doesn't pump. I've seen replacement units that replace both the wiper motor and washer pump, but I need to fix this...- Stormhawk

Paint Source for 1983 K20
Grit, Yes, the rest of the truck is FAR from pristine, but is at least passable from 20 feet. The roof just sticks out like a sore thumb, and I want to try to preserve it and keep the base metal from rusting and degrading, while at least making the truck presentable, if not show quality. I'll...- Stormhawk

Paint Source for 1983 K20
Gents, This spring I plan on repainting the roof on my 83' K20 as there's not a trace of paint left, and is nothing but rust and primer. The build sticker in the glove box is missing, but I believe my truck is "mystic silver" & "midnight black" two tone. The roof is silver, and I need to find a...- Stormhawk

Choke Issues
So I eventually figured out what the problem was. When it was installed the kick off was behaving normally, pulling in under vacuum as it should. When I removed the kick off to test and inspect it, I realized that the lever on the kick off had somehow slipped over the lever on the choke and...- Stormhawk

Choke Issues
So more on this. I went out this morning after the truck had sat outside overnight. It was about 30 degrees out, so not terribly cold. I adjusted the choke, checked both kick offs for function, checked linkage and vacuum source, reset the choke and before I started the truck I gave the front...- Stormhawk

Choke Issues
So starting about a week ago my truck (83 K20 350/TH400) has been having severe cold starting issues. It will literally not stay running unless I manually hit the choke kick off, start it, then run back under the hood and hold the choke plate all the way open. If I bump the throttle and let...- Stormhawk

Bench Seat Tracks
Definitely. I was able to cobble the damaged track back together with a piece of scrap metal, but the entire assembly is bent slightly and should probably be replaced.
