    Looking for Cruise III linkage

    Dorman 41017 is the number. Worth it if you have a need for everything in the assortment, or necessary if you lose them like I do. I had to get this because I lost them in two different vehicles. But in your case, I’m sure one of these guys can toss one in there. Bottom right and left corner...

    They also sell those clips in the Help! section of your local parts store(s).

    89 350 tbi problems

    That’s a while. If it sat for more than those five years since ‘03, the sending unit might be all rusted out from sitting with ethanol fuel that varnished. Same for the tank. Also, if you’re not in a rush, that stuff is considerably cheaper online, and I’m using the Spectra pump/sender with good...

    89 350 tbi problems

    I’d get a fuel pressure test kit from Autozone, tee it in at the fuel filter spot, and make sure you have the right fuel pressure. You really want 12-13, but I wouldn’t make a big deal out of 10 or 11 (at least until absolutely everything else is exhausted). Like Andy said, fuel then spark. If...

    Timing and Cooling Issues

    160* is a bit cool, and you’re still having issues. Yeesh. I feel like making a list of things I’d check: Check to make sure two or more wires aren’t firing the wrong plugs at the wrong times. I’d rotate the engine by hand, watch for the distributor rotor to catch, and make sure there’s no...

    Guess the car...

    The half recessed headlights in that fashion remind me of a Ferrari 250/400, but that’s about the only thing I can comment on. Whatever it is, it looks really sharp.

    Does a AM/FM Delco Radio with cassette fit in a 73 C20?

    It should. They made the tuner a good bit smaller than the old AM unit to accommodate cassette, 8 track, or CB configs. Plus, they all share the same basic bezel, right? The new radios came around in ‘77, and fit right in. Sorry I don’t know round eyes as well, but I thought shaft radio...

    SOLD 1987 k10 suburban for Parts *All Gone*

    The piece behind the pull strap except I need the driver side and two of the little caps if the clips aren’t broken off those, as well.

    SOLD 1987 k10 suburban for Parts *All Gone*

    No fucking wonder mine’s cracked adjacent to the rear bolts. It doesn’t have that metal brace in it. Does anyone know if they added it mid-year 1987, or did someone hack the one I have? Yours is gray, mine is gray, and it’s coming from a part out so this’d be a good one. If you could quote me...

    Is my transmission going out?

    Old direct drive starters can be that way: noisy. I have one that’s relatively normal sounding, and it quits spinning very quickly. I have another that you can hear rev down a few seconds after startup or if you have a failed start, it’ll free wheel for a few seconds, and if you don’t wait for...

    Electrical Connections

    The first, are you looking at the wires coming out of the bulkhead or the ones for the wiper/washer motor? Second, is of the firewall junction block and you also have the TCC lockup vacuum switch in there. Third, I see the ESC bypass connector. Fourth, I see an air injection diverter connector...

    SOLD 1987 k10 suburban for Parts *All Gone*

    Not even in the bottom around the rear bolts? If so, that’s very tempting, and I’m interested. The shipping might screw the whole thing, but if not, let’s talk turkey.

    What’s the inside of the console look like? Does it have cracks in it like mine? Someone’s getting the latch, or was that the glovebox latch?

    Is my transmission going out?

    Do you hear a click, or is nothing happening? Doesn’t sound too great? Spins slowly, grinds, or is it making a totally weird noise? I wonder if your battery cables are succumbing to the “green death,” and it’s time to replace them. Or your battery lugs are either worn, corroded, or loose. Also...

    Fuel problems

    I would run a mechanical pump. You can hook a gas can up directly to the pump and see if the problem goes away. That method allows you to divide and conquer the fuel system. If it runs correctly, you know to go back towards the tank. If it’s still running poorly, you have a carburetor problem or...

    Is my transmission going out?

    ^^^ This and I’m wondering what your vacuum reading really was. They may not have even gotten a reading. If they saw two or three leaks and sprayed a combustible around the intake edge to see if the idle speed changed, that maybe all they did. I don’t know. The skeptic in me says vacuum issues...

    700r4 TQ Converter & Motor Mouns

    As far as the TC goes, the remans that Advance (and likely others) sell have good reviews. I’ve got a stock staller sitting in the box waiting for my car’s 700R4 to fail so I can do it all at once, but that has yet to happen, and it only really malfunctions when it’s fairly cold one day and...

    Hard to refuse freebies

    I wonder how much you could flip it for with a really good detailing. Honestly, though, it probably be like Jerry’s car on the B.O. episode of Seinfeld. No matter what you did, you’d know what happened in it. All I know is their reputation of safety, but one car that I would consider buying in...

    Horn not working

    I agree. Something’s wonky with the canceling cam, but I’d review what you have for contact parts and see what a horn contact kit is supposed to look like just to be safe. I wouldn’t run a non-GM steering wheel personally, but that’s not for everyone. Also, it’s pretty easy to directly test the...

    Is my transmission going out?

    I know you’ll elaborate in a little bit, but it sounds like the engine is giving you grief because you’re talking about stalling with the foot to the floor. Almost like you’re getting too much air or fuel and not enough spark. As mentioned, the trans slipping would sound like the RPM wasn’t...

    Oil leaking?

    Maybe a damaged or worn cap. Especially if the truck had just been run.

    Starving for Fuel!?!?

    Stupid question, but are you 100% you have spark when it’s hot? Besides a vapor lock issue, which is a hard sell for me when you’re moving down the highway, and cracked rubber fuel lines, that’s about it. Are you still running the electric pump, or are you back to mechanical? Do you have the...
