    Engine won't get up to temp

    Just curious, what the ambient temps are? Also is the vehicle new to you or have you always had it and this problem just started?

    Chevy silverado k10 ALL ORIGINAL - $7,650 (Phoenix 1 owner)

    Kinda looks like one side is on the street and the other is actually up on the sidewalk, could be causing the stance to look a little off.

    I'm sure it's an age old question, K 20 ride quality improvements.

    Thanks, sounds like you have helped yours. If I was driving mine all the time I might take those steps. At this point it spends 95 % of it's time in the garage and only sees a couple thousand miles a year. I was hoping I could just buy some new shocks and spend an hour making a difference...

    I'm sure it's an age old question, K 20 ride quality improvements.

    I've rode in plenty of K 10's (and my K 20 for the last 15 years). An old K 10 rides closer to a new truck that it does a K 20.

    Ever dealt with GM crate motor warranty replacement?

    Having something external cause damage to your vehicle is understandable. Never heard of anyone's insurance covering a mechanical failure itself. I think if there was a failure that caused more damage, such as going down the road and your driveshaft falls out and tears a hole in the bed, I...

    Yeah, it is definitely noticeable how much better it rides with a load in the bed.

    I'm sure it's an age old question, K 20 ride quality improvements.

    My truck started as a 77 K 20 (donor body is an 86). When I drug the truck home 15 years ago it was a mess. Had spent it's life as a logging truck for a timber guy. Anyway I remember pulling the shocks off and they would just slide in and out if I turned them upside down. I remember thinking...

    Cab light question

    I ended up just going with the standard 67 Sylvania long life bulbs. I have one of the entire lights I might have to replace. My electrician friend looked at it briefly and couldn't figure it out. When he touches his meter on the inside of the socket where the end of the bulb touches it is...

    Cab light question

    Curious, since these are for the exterior cab marker lights and they have the amber lens over them. Would LED amber lights be a good choice, or stick with the soft white. Didn't know what amber bulbs in amber lenses would do...

    Mirror and Vent Windows

    Anyone have the ball park price they charge for the refurb program. On their website it told me to submit the form for a quote. I am just curious.

    Cab light question

    Are there any LED name brands to look for or avoid.

    Cab light question

    Do the LED bulbs just plug and play into the sockets I have?

    Turbo, I did not overlook your response and I’m the one it matters to in this specific thread…Thanks again

    Cab light question

    Thanks for the info. Rusty and Snoots. This is why I asked in the first place. The options I mentioned above were just the bulbs that were the same physical size and design, and none of them said 12 volts. They had a ton of other options that were physically different. For example the #67...

    Cab light question

    Ok, so stupid question of the day. I went today to get new bulbs just to replace them all. Was kind of shocked to see there was about 8 different varieties of bulbs that had the same end on them. The single "knob" on the end and the two ears/nipples on the side. All had slightly different...

    Cab light question

    So after a year of looking at the cab lights I finally decided today to mess with them. As expected was a ground issue. I got a scrap wire and ran it from a ground to each light and they all lit up (except for one). The bulb was bad in that one, but I still think it has an issue (which is...

    Headlights quit working

    I don't know much about wiring and vehicles but the one thing I have learned over the years of owning a square body is that most of these issues are ground related. My tail and break lights both stopped working last year. Upon pulling the lenses one of the ground wires was broke and it was fixed...

    350 dipstick tube

    So if I replace, do the new ones just press in or seal somehow? I should have mentioned the truck probably hasn’t had 5-7,000 miles on it during that time…

    350 dipstick tube

    I've owned my truck for around 20 years and the dipstick tube has always been loose. Being lazy I have always jut put slight pressure on it when pulling the dipstick out so the tube doesn't come out. It's never leaked or caused an issue but after changing the oil today I asked myself why...

    I looked today. The WIX on Amazon is $9.00 and they are $13.00 at my local Oreily's.

    Oil filter part number

    My truck has a 1977 350 in it. I am planning to switch to WIX or NAPA Gold oil filter. Anyone have the part number handy for either of those filters. Last oil change I did, I was in a pinch and Fram was the only option. Never been a fan of those.

    Who sells the best fitting dash pad. Time for a new one

    I called around to have mine re-done, then tried to re do it myself (didn't work out), and ended up getting mine from Truck parts in Cali. Seems every aftermarket company you order from is going to be luck of the draw. I happened to get a good one, needed some slight trimming, but for a nice...

    Carpet colors?

    When I was looking for carpet I noticed a lot of what was sold on amazon was ACC brand once I looked into it. Seems to be one of the most common auto carpet manufacturers, so just a matter of finding which retailer you want to use. When I ordered mine last year Rock Auto was cheapest.
