    Saddle Tanks NOT near as dangerous as publicized !!!

    the parts stores that carry Gates have them but the idiots behind the counter are to lazy or don't know what they are doing. if you go to the Gates website they have a complete catalog reference by dimension. they have them. highdesertranger

    1990 V1500 Suburban No Power No start

    most of the time when you get a click followed by nothing it's a bad connection on a battery cable. I would start my troubleshooting there. highdesertranger

    Upgrade Battery Cables

    heating only the lug and sticking a cold cable in the hot solder is not ideal, cold solder joint. either are those hammer crimpers. sure they both work but for how long, where and when is it going to fail? I like to use military terminals on top post batteries then you only need eye...

    Mystery Motor Mounts

    I ran into this engine mount issue when I installed a 454 in my 78 that had a 350. the 454 mounts wouldn't fit(well the bolts didn't line up) so I just used 350 mounts and everything worked fine. highdesertranger

    What does this sound like?

    for sure you have several issues. you need to pick one thing and start from there. I would bolt up that cross member and get the minimum vacuum working, that would be the vacuum advance and the modulator on the trans, plug the rest. if that doesn't correct the idling high check that next...

    Any guesses on the ratio?

    K20/K30 frame

    in fact Crew cabs did come in 4x4 and 3/4 ton I have seen them. I can't tell what frame they had on them as I don't know. also weren't all CC's duallies? I have never seen a single wheel CC, that wasn't converted. highdesertranger

    Need help please

    yep sounds like the E-Brake didn't release for whatever reason. I would start with checking the cable, but at this point the whole system needs checking. highdesertranger

    Help determine lift for towing

    I find the difference in towing from a LWB to a SWB is night and day. the LWB is a much better choice IMO. what about that 1/2 ton semi floating rear axle and the transmission? one of those will be the first failure point if you ask me. highdesertranger

    Where to purchase filler hose?

    Gates makes them. however you have to match it up by size and shape then take that number to your local parts house and have them order it. that's what I did. Gates has a size chart on their website. and no I am not going to look it up for you. highdesertranger

    I Got an Odd Problem

    first off stop buying parts until you know what's bad. then see if there is a trouble shooting guide in one of the shop manuals posted in the reference library. if not go to that schematic that Mix Master posted and start back tracing the fan hot from the fan back. keeping in mind that the...

    x2 on keep it I wouldn't sell a 8274 for a cheap Chinese junk winch ever. I don't care if it was rated for 50,000 pounds. highdesertranger
