    Steering Squeak

    they do appear wonky but it's hard to tell from a pic. I would pull the belt off and lay a straight edge in the grooves for verification. I have seen the bracket break behind the pulley so you can't see it, this has caused alignment issues. highdesertranger

    Belt sizes

    first thanks for the follow up Mister. the thing with serpentine belts is if you lose anything you are DOA. with v-belts you have some redundancy. I still use my truck and I often find myself a fricking long, long way from any type of parts store. so I need it to be as dependable as...

    79 k30 steering rebuild

    first off who ever welded that plate on didn't follow directions at all. I have put on a ton of those from several different manufactures and everyone I have ever done it has stated in the instructions, "DO NOT contentiously weld this bracket on. stitch weld only. in the instruction it even...

    Pinion Nut Tightening Question

    you can do it by feel, but if you are not familiar with doing that you will not have much of a chance of getting it right. you can use a dial indicator but on a used ring and pinion without taking readings first you are just guessing. what you are shooting for is the yoke just touching the...

    Need help with a wobble.

    first off define wobble. what is this wobble and how did you come to the conclusion that it was the right rear wheel? replacing parts willy nilly gets expensive and a lot of times you end up replacing perfectly good factory parts with junk aftermarket parts. highdesertranger

    Which part is this ?

    the vacuum modulator on the transmission. there is actually a hard line with rubber at both ends. the tranny can't possibly be shifting properly and the engine has to be running lean as hell. highdesertranger

    Vapor lock with deadhead regulator on heat soaked motor

    "Vapor lock can be cured with one of these REAL phonolic spacer under the carb." only if the issue is the carb. vapor lock can happen anywhere along the fuel line or at the pump or at the carb. highdesertranger

    Vapor lock with deadhead regulator on heat soaked motor

    a return line only works if the engine is running. once you shut it off and fuel stops flowing all bets are off. highdesertranger

    Shaking while med-hard braking.

    when buying rotors and drums ask for the country of origin. I will not use chinesium rotors and drums. I like the USA or Canadian ones first. if I can't find those I choose on a case by case basis. I have gotten good ones from Brazil. make sure you ask and make it clear you don't want...

    starter wires routing

    actually I like to hot shot those wires. it does take a Ford fender mount starter solenoid and a little more wire. but it deletes all the constant hot wires that run down to the starter. you only have one big cable going to the stater and it's only hot when you are trying to start it...

    Missing vin on k10 can they be swapped over from a parts truck with most of the parts?

    if you want to swap VIN's you need to go to the proper authorities and do it right and legal. you CAN NOT just swap VIN's willy nilly. no matter what anybody thinks is ok, someone from the government must get involved. P.S. take my advice do this before you spend any money on the vehicle...
