    EGR Valve and dual exhaust

    Looking into code 32 a bit further, I found this: http://www.fieros.de/en/v6help/code32.html#:~:text=Code%2032%20means%20that%20the,closed%20under%20the%20following%20conditions%3A&text=EGR%20duty%20cycle%20commanded%20by,%2C%20(7%22%20vacuum). Problem Description: Code 32 means that the EGR...

    EGR Valve and dual exhaust

    Shortly after I posted the reply above that I had everything figured out, the service engine soon light came on again. Changed out the EGR valve and replaced a bunch of rotted out vacuum lines and I still get the light. Any other ideas? Could the EGR solenoid be a possible culprit?

    350 TBI electrical plug question

    350 TBI electrical plug question

    Does anyone know what this plug is for? It has been just hanging the whole time we have had the suburban.

    Transmission and TCase identification (Muncie + NP)

    It's an SM465 four speed. Pretty sure it is a NP205 also. If it were a 203, it would have had 4 Low Lock or something to that effect on the furthest ahead shift position. In 1976, 203 or 205 would be the only T-case options. I am not sure if they put 203's behind many manual transmissions in...

    What lift and tires are best for my 1990 Suburban?

    Did you do the add-a-leaf in just the rear or the front too? Did the ride change much? I like the stance/height of your burb!

    Big Block Cooling w/Electric Fans: DON'T DO IT

    Interesting post. I have been contemplating a different radiator and electric fans for my '78 P30 motorhome with a 454 to see if I can get it to cool better. Maybe I will just get the radiator rodded out or re-cored and keep the original fan/clutch setup.

    New gauges installed.

    If this kit comes back in stock, would it work for a '90 Suburban? In my LMC catalog, it says part number 36-1873 is for 83-87 models. I see that lower on the same page, they sell just the tach in either 5000 or 7000 RPM's and show it for 79-91 models. Just curious what the difference might be?

    Mastercraft Courser CXT

    I agree. Love the CUCV wheels, dog dish hubcaps and agressive tires. That really makes that old 'burb look tough. Well done!

    2in lift with 33 or 4in with 35s

    You should start a thread on this pickup. Looks like you have a lot of work into it.

    Carb upgrade for 250 I6 in a C50

    Thanks for the input. The carb needs to be rebuilt, so was debating on fixing it or replacing it. Sounds like I would be best off just going through it and rebuilding it.

    Carb upgrade for 250 I6 in a C50

    We have a C50 truck that has a flat bed on it that we use to haul scrap, dirt, hay, etc. Originally equipped with a 292, my Dad replaced it when it was in need of an overhaul (burning oil/blow by) with a 250 he had found out of a C10 that had recently been overhauled. He got the 250 for $200...

    14 bolt FF fluid questions

    The trailer that was in the headache rack picture is one that my Dad built for my Grandpa back in the 90’s. My little brother has both that pickup and the trailer now. It was an ‘85 C10, so it has a 10 bolt axle. I believe the pickup had the heaviest spring package that a half ton could have...

    Headache rack ideas

    Red River Valley. I am from the Minot area. I have been through WI a few times, it is a beautiful state, but it's too far east for me. ;)

    There is more to ND than the RRV on the east coast. It isn't all flat.

    Headache rack ideas

    The headache racks like the one in the picture I posted had went through the stake pockets just like that, but had angle iron that ran the whole length of the bed sides since they had a back rack too that also was anchored in the stake pockets. Doing that helps take some stress off the top of...

    I wish they would quit using salt on our roads up here in the winter.

    88 Caprice Classic Wagon

    My wife's first car was an '83 Olds Delta 88 2 door. It had the 307 in it, but she didn't have it very long after we started dating...got a Monte Carlo instead. I really don't remember if I ever even drove it. I do remember it seemed rather...grandma'ish'.

    88 Caprice Classic Wagon

    I just learned something...I never knew they put Olds 307's in Caprice Wagons. How did they compare with Chevy 305's?

    Headache rack ideas

    My Grandpa and Dad's oilfield roustabout company used to build there own headache racks and had them on all their pickups back in the day. Here is an example of one of them they built in the 80's. The back rack had hammer unions on it so it was easy to take off or swing out of the way.

    '74 GMC hubcap paint color

    How about the gray color for the grill? Is it like an argent silver?

    '74 GMC hubcap paint color

    The black on the hubcap is a satin black and not glossy, correct?

    '74 GMC hubcap paint color

    My friend recently acquired this '74 GMC 3/4 ton Camper Special. He would like to repaint the hubcaps, but hasn't figured out what is the correct color to paint the "GMC" on the hubcaps. Does anyone know what that actual color is supposed to be?

    Can I Get a Build Sheet?

    I wish! No, I just searched Scottsdale Chevy and saw that pic. It showed the moldings and the 4 headlight option.
