What new tools have you got lately?
Had been interested in getting a gantry crane since I have been renting my shop, with my upcoming ram rebuild, I decided to finally pull the trigger on one. Went with the 4000lb Strongway from Northern Tool. Definitely not a Vestil or other commercial unit, but for the price I think it will...- legopnuematic

Rock Auto Discount Codes
Not sure if it applies in Canada, but in the US if you ship to a commercial/business address, it drops the shipping costs enough to make a difference. My latest order, shipping was about $120 to my house, to my dad’s work, ~$95. The other benefit is the carriers drop off before lunch typically...- legopnuematic

1980 C10 Running but weird to stop
Sounds like you are experiencing dieseling. What does the truck have for a carburetor? Quadrajet? Carter/Edelbrock, Holley? What is the base timing at? Late timing (retarded) will require the throttle blades to be open more (idle screw) to bring idle up. When the throttle blades are open...- legopnuematic

What have you done to your square lately??
So far it seems fine, I was running 15-40, decided to try the VR1 because it has the zinc/additives in it. They offer it in two options for multi weight. 10-30 and 20-50. 10-30 is a little thinner than I’d really like, especially for summertime. If 15-40 was an option I’d use that. My friend...- legopnuematic

What have you done to your square lately??
The alternator in the 76 decided to not want to charge, swapped it for a 10si I had on the shelf from the junkyard. When I get time I'll look into the 12si I pulled off it and see what decided to call it quits. Changed the oil too, decided to try VR1 20-50 since it has the zinc needed in it.- legopnuematic

Beginner Alternator Question
I’m not sure I’ve seen anything but a center offset mounting ears on Gm alternators. If you go to a parts store, tell them is for an 84 Z28 Camaro with 305, that should produce a 12si with correct clocking of the terminals. Regular production 12si alternators can be spotted as the fan is...- legopnuematic

Beginner Alternator Question
I’ll echo what others have said, a 12si is a good upgrade for these trucks, both of mine run them. When I got one for the 79, I went with a Powermaster as at the time (may still be that way) a reman from the local auto parts stores was almost the same in price as the new one from Powermaster...- legopnuematic

OIL
3000-5000 depending on driving. Lots of short trips closer to three, nice highway driving getting things nice and up to temp I have no issues with 5000. Quality air filter, working pcv system all help keep oil cleaner. I also always run the larger oil filters (used on medium duty’s) and always...- legopnuematic

HOW GEAR OIL?
80W-90 GL5 is what I have in my 79 and the 14b sf I built for a friend. Both have Yukon Dura-grips in them and that is what they recommend.- legopnuematic

HOW GEAR OIL?
The fill plug on those covers are not to be used as a level plug. The original fill/level plug is to be removed, and filled until fluid comes out of the hole in the housing, not the cover. Instructions from B&M- legopnuematic

AFR GAUGE addition?
Generally there is no need to run dual O2 sensors. You certainly could add a bung on each bank, but a good average from just one bank is sufficient. It would be best to verify with the specific gauge/sensor, 6-12” from the collector flange is generally what I have done and seems to work fine.- legopnuematic

Biggest jobs you have completed in the shortest amount of time.
I’d say for me is getting my Dart back on the road. I purchased it October 30th 2020, it had sat since 2015 or 16 (when the owner passed) at a minimum. Thinking that may have been closer to 10 years. New fuel system from tank to carb, rebuilt front suspension, converting to later A body disc...- legopnuematic
