    3 on the tree to sm465 conversion questions

    fit isnt the issue, the original bolts were longer on the crossmember to frame, and used a spacer on top of the bottom of the frame rail (with the bolt either going up or down into it, nut on the other side) because longer bolts are able to be tighter or something. Its only on the 4 crossmember...

    if he wanted to hardline to the thing, i think the best way to do that is with a tape variant of the radio, and essentially the Sirius would be utilizing that function no idea in the slightest how to do it tho

    after doin front end clutch and steering column,truck feels like its in 4wd

    i think he meant the hop would be pronounced more, because of the torque increase did the OP say anything about if he unlocked his hubs..i only skimmed his words and seen him ask if they can lock without being turned to that. Can the OP confirm that the hubs are unlocked and that if you...

    Front end noise

    Hoses that are twisted (think rotating the caliper when its removed) or stretched will apply the brake because it squeezes the fluid inside which, as we know, a hydraulic fluid being acted on will move the thing its designed to actuate Pushing the pistons outward , even if only a little. In...

    HEI module dwell time.

    too hot of spark, maybe it was from the plug being hot enough to cause it to fire without a spark, wonder how a modern iridium with a small point, and maybe a different heat range plug would do in the same position on old car

    Blower motor wont turn off

    I had to replace a limit switch on 2 riveter machines at work. My smaller hands and mechanical knowledge apparently made me the person for the job. Had to trim the lever and fish it in just right so it actuates properly for the safety mechanism. So when the anvil comes down, anyones hand in...

    HEI module dwell time.

    Potential wiring problem

    I accidently snagged the coolant sensor wire on my 1980 between the head and the valve cover , if you possibly did something similar worth a check.

    Blower motor wont turn off

    you could also just switch over to the wiring/electrical from a 1982 or newer square. I think, but i could be wrong, the necessary electronics are contained in the switch and maybe the harness from the switch to where it all runs to

    6.0 NV4500 K30 swap

    the 241 drops the opposite direction as the np208, at last as they came in chevys And the np208 has a smaller 4lo ratio The 241 has upgraded parts as you described but similar I think the np205 is the best to keep, but the OP wants to change it because he has a figure 8 np205, not because he...

    How to ID 16" 8 bolt wheels?

    I wasnt clear enough, The plastic black nuts on the caps gmt800 and gmt400, are m27x2.0 If they werent for some reason you can buy new ones and pop them on (they come out), which would be that thread. Then yes you just need to confirm your 79 lug nut threads Heres the 1979 service manual

    How to ID 16" 8 bolt wheels?

    they would work on a gmt400. you can do two things, 1 replace your studs and have them thread proper Or just YOLO and use a drill or a small impact and install them over an SAE lugnut with threads(It sounds like you found the lugnut that works for your truck, but you want the outer threads to...
