    HVAC Vacuum Controls

    Good info and very true. I was checking the vacuum pod for functionality under the cowl of my k5 while it's apart for paint. The flap turned to dust when I touched it. I was able to find a good used one at a yard. Not sure where to find a new one.

    Best all terrain tire for your square

    I've ran both BFG AT and MT AT. No complaints except for the price. Would pick BFG between the two.

    Upgrading brakes on 84 K10

    Other than the above mentioned, I've heard hydroboost is a good option. They were factory available on 1/2 tons if equipped with a diesel. 1 tons had them standard. I pulled one from a c30 recently to install in my 82 k5. No concerns with factory vacuum assist brakes but I wanted an upgrade too.

    Brake Warning Light GMC C15

    Agree, the brake light comes on with the e-brake set or if there is an issue and the prop valve pin is not centered. If I have the e-brake off and turn the key on it doesn't light up. However with the e-brake off and I turn the ignition to start the truck it comes on. Is that what you are...

    Securing the Cargo Lamp

    My factory cargo lamp and dome work from the door sensor. It is always grounded and when the door opens the circuit is completed and + power is provided. There is also a on/off switch on the B pillar but the principle is still the same. It I recall the base of the cargo lap mounts to the cab...

    Grille inserts?

    I need to do the same for my k5 tailgate banner. After dent removal and polishing the black paint is gone. I like the idea of 3M vinyl, just have to find the right size. Also have to make 90 degree turns. Not sure how that will work unless I cut 4 pieces.

    TBI issues, please help diagnose...

    2 common issues with TBI is the ignition control module and the temp sensor (on the intake). With the lack of spark at times I'd start with the ICM.

    91’ suburban 6.0 ls swap

    See my k5 build in my sig. Have done all of this. If you have a 91, you already have the initial fuel injection setup and the NP241c will have the electronic speedo. You are off to a good start. What trans does the donor have and what trans does the 91 have? This will help determine if they...

    APB - Check your cowl seam seals!

    Good to know. I'll check my k5 while it's apart for painting. Thanks.

    What is this part called?

    Exactly, helps filter the fumes coming off the intake/carb.

    How hard is it to swap my 3.08 gears to 3.73 gears?

    Right, 3/4 ton axles. 1 tons also have 8 lug but that would typically be a Dana 60 up front and a full float 14 bolt in the rear.

    How hard is it to swap my 3.08 gears to 3.73 gears?

    They were not installed at the same time. I have an Escalade LS 6.0 and 4L65E in there now. No comparison to a 305. If you go 8 lug, you should be able to find 4.10 from the factory. I believe 3.73 was the largest from factory in 6 lug, 1/2 ton form.

    How hard is it to swap my 3.08 gears to 3.73 gears?

    That's what I did for my 82 K5. Came with a 305, 31" tires and 3.08 gears from the factory. I found a set of 3.73 axles and 4 factory aluminum with tires from an 83 k5 for $200. Right, one of the best deals I've had on square parts. Had to drive from DFW to Houston but it was worth it.

    Right, shipping is the downside. I try to combine as much as possible before I order from them or any.

    My 82 K5 came with carmine red interior. It's between red and maroon. USA1 industries sells new carmine red headliners.

    Best insurance company for truck restorations??

    What he said, Hagerty is good. Grundy isn't bad either but a little picky.

    Welcome from TX. Nice truck, reminds me of pro street. If I recall, you can click on your picture and just upload a new avatar to change it. When on your profile page.

    1987 Chevrolet Suburban 4X4 208-C1 transfer case question

    That should be easy, just find an 81-88 208c 27 spline from a squarebody (k10, k5, k15...). This will have the proper right side driveshaft drop. NP made them with left hand drop in other trucks. IIRC the NP241c started in 89
