    Truck backfires and doesn’t start

    Did it run ok before you did anything to it? Did you do any valve adjustment?, Have or can you do a compression and/or leak down tests? Correct firing order? Do you have a service manual with a trouble shooting section?

    Bell housing not fitting right?

    Also, make sure you have the starter brace installed or you will snap the starter bolts.

    Bell housing not fitting right?

    The dowels are the same, I am not an expert but, I don't think a bellhousing for an 10.5" clutch will fit over an 11" clutch. Also, have you tried the fitment without the starter in place?

    65 c30 - Dually Tension/Retaining Ring Questions

    My old '84 and '93 K30's were both 6 tire one ton's and had the style wheel you've pictured front and rear & used the ring. The '93 has 14mm studs and lug nuts that are set up for hub caps.

    Battery / charging isolator.

    I use a minute mount 1 during plow season on my bobcat 873 skid steer. The plow has its own battery and charges thru an isolator that most likely came from amazon (P/N BTI-140) 12v 140A. After three winters nothing has caught fire or exploded yet.

    Just curious.

    Is it me or does one of the combustion chambers look different than the others?

    Every 671 I've worked on leaks, if it didn't you may be out of oil.

    Crack/Knick in 350 Cylinder Wall

    I vote for a future boat anchor. Don't waste your time or money on it, look for a re-man from summit racing or similar retailer.

    Oil Leak Into Cab

    Could have been changed to or added a mechanical gauge. Is it dirty or clear-ish? PAG type oil from an a/c system? More info is needed.

    mark 4 454 engine oil cooler lines

    I used a kit from kbdieselperformance on my '93 6.5TD, not sure if the kit KB-8.1L-EOCL will work on a 454.

    No dash lights!!

    There also may be an issue with the cluster's circuit board. You might try to unplug the cluster and see if the short still exists.

    Flex plate

    No, I've replaced the flex plate by sliding the th400 and NP208 back on long 3/8" bolts, of course after disconnecting crossmember, driveshafts, lines, linkage etc.

    Indicator issues '79 C20 Suburban.

    Check the grounds at the rear of the bed, and the bulb sockets for good contact.

    Missing connector?

    All you need for a voltage gauge is a + and a - , the missing part may be for mounting the gauge.

    Rear disc conversion

    The kits I've seen use mid 80's Eldorado/Toranado front calipers.

    Gauge cluster

    Maybe bad grounds?

    Gauge cluster

    Unless I'm missing something, why not just replace your damaged gauges? Make a close inspection of your printed circuit, looking for burnt paths.

    SWAPPING 84 c10 body onto 84 k10 FRAME

    I respectfully disagree. I've done the swap and had no clearance issues with either the automatic transmission or NP205 transfer case. There are no geometry or linkage problems. The truck is at a friends house and pictures can be provided if needed.

    SWAPPING 84 c10 body onto 84 k10 FRAME

    Not the same, 2wd's hump is shorter.

    SWAPPING 84 c10 body onto 84 k10 FRAME

    If your truck has a top load shifter you may have clearance issues. I've done that swap but with a column shift automatic. No problem with the transfer case shifter.

    Freeze plugs into the block- how to remove?

    I've latched on to them with vice grips or needle nose pliers and yanked.

    6.2 Diesel Instrument Gauge Cluster Swap??

    I pimped out my mid 80's CUCV and replaced the indicator lights with silverado gauges. I used a multimeter to figure what each pin on the male plug did, then followed the copper leads on the printed circuit and matched them up. De-pin one lead at a time and label them especially if you're color...
