    Where to purchase gauge (oil pressure)

    New OEM is probably only going to be found on EBay or at a swap meet and probably going to carry a hefty price tag for NOS stuff ( New Old Stock). Used is a good way to go - you can probably find members here selling clusters and parts. Or, for New aftermarket places such as LMC (Long Motor...

    74 k10 going 55 mph is at 3,500 rpm

    What size are your tires ? Going up in size will reduce the RPMs - and, of course, throw your speedo off. Here is an example- not sure if I remember the OE tire size correctly but they are only about 28 inches... :eek: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=235-75r15-33-12.5r15 This...

    1987 R10 Radiator Leak

    Price seems steep, but hopefully they built you a 4 core. I had my metal one re-done as well- OE end tanks on a 4 core as the original 3 row was too far gone. Plastic tanks and aluminum cores work great and are lighter but just not the same in my book. YMMV

    1988 IROC-Z

    Source for horn part

    I think this may be it. Don't know why the search on the phone was harder than on the PC using the same search terms and engine ... :33: Meaning that I did one search on the PC to find this but had to do multiple tries on the phone to get the same result so I could copy and paste...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    26 bux. My guy used to keep them on his truck but quit seeing much demand for them, so he had to order me one. The general service techs ( oil changes and such) use them and I thought it was a great idea. I have used a magnetic pick up tool to get a few plugs out of my pan but never had a...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Loosen the drain plug like normal, but leave it in. The end opposite the handle:anitoof: has a flat upright that will hit the plug and spin it and a magnet so that when the plug comes out it stays on the tool.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    1st ever purchase off a tool truck at work. If you like to change the oil hot but hate burning your fingers on the plug, or, dropping it in the oil ... This is the tool for you ! Magnetic end.

    Q: Vacuum Line

    I think that is the line that powers the HVAC control system. Easy enough to test - if your HVAC controls don't work now, but do when you "vacuumize" :anitoof: that line, you will know.

    Q: Trick to Reattaching Speedo-Cable

    Seems like I put my back on the floorboard and reach up and feel where the spring prong and speedometer end is and guide the cable on. Just a 1 hand process and by feel. You might be able to see the speedometer end with a flashlight and having your head up in the lower dash, but you won't be...

    Spark plug wires

    Plus 1 on the Taylor's. I still have the top cover on my HEI and the Taylor's have the molded "nipple" on the top to plug into that. Most aftermarket ones do not.

    Wire Connector

    On my 80 that is the test connector for the lockup torque converter (TCC). I guess that's correct for your 84 as well. Best of luck! Britt

    Got a Dodge squarebody!

    Similar issue on a '77 Ramcharger, but it burned from the firewall back and gutted the interior. Worst part was it happened while a buddy of mine was driving it ... Dam Dodge electrical. Never understood that as the vans had the fuse box inside as well and did not have electrical problems...

    Got a Dodge squarebody!

    I forgot- if the front axle is still running the OE setup lubing the wheel bearings is amazingly simple. :waytogo:

    Got a Dodge squarebody!

    LOL- from past experience on those year trucks fix the electrical system. :anitoof: I like them, though, and a Phillips screwdriver and a 1/2 inch wrench will disassemble most of the truck. :dogpile:

    Factory Oil Cooler - What did they look like?

    That was a factory option to the best of my knowledge. Probably part of the trailering special package, but not 100 percent on that.

    1980 Suburban fuel filler pipe for sale

    Not sure when or where in Conroe that is, so really hard to say. :cool: I seem to be in a state of Flux most weekends, though.

    1980 Suburban fuel filler pipe for sale

    If it gets to a "Its going to be thrown away if not sold" point I will buy it for a spare. But, I suspect before it hits that someone here will need it. :waytogo:

    Are front wheel bearings adjustable?

    From the wife's truck this weekend (not a square, but still) comes a real world bad bearing example!

    Ammeter Fuse size?

    Wow - been a while since seeing 1 of those ! Seems like it is a short 3 Amp fuse, but ... That's from a 32 or so year old memory. :cool:
