    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    I'm going to try changing the oil, make sure there is no gas in it, and maybe turn up the speed screw and see what happens. Any way to test a oil pressure guage?

    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    I've driven 65 miles in the last 2 days and am still at about 3/4 of a tank.

    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    What issues accompany low oil pressure? Bad oil pump?

    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    Since I've had the truck it has been at 15 psi at idle and yes it does go up when I rev the engine. Once I hit 700 to 900 rpm it's back at 15psi.

    Low oil pressure and rough idle

    Hey guys, got a k10 with 350 and 1406. I noticed today it was idling a little rough and the idle was lower at about 600 rpm. Usually it hangs out at 750. Also my oil psi was at about 8 or 9. Never seen it that low. Any ideas or initial thoughts?

    Dual 12s anyone?

    Wondering if anyone has tried dual 12 subwoofers in a single cab? I just bought a silverado seat 4 inches shorter than the stock one so I can fit bigger boxes. Would love to here how this has worked out for others before I pull the teigger.

    2005 silverado seat

    Hey guys going to pick this up. The ad says its leather but I think it may be vinyl. Paying 200 for it in mint condition. Is this a good deal. Going in my 77 k10

    Altitude effects on a 1406.

    Probably an already answered question, but I'm gonna be going up to mount hood a lot this winter from 100 feet above see level and up to timberline lodge which is 6000 ft above sea level. Will the truck be able to make it up without too much struggle or will it be far too rich? Stock 350 with...

    New edelbrock 1406

    Yup, that was it. I got that acdelco part yesterday and fixed the problem. No more cheap 3 dollar PCVs ever again. Thanks for the help guys.

    New edelbrock 1406

    Alright, I'll take a video tomorrow or monday and send it. The valve does rattle and it does feel a little spring loaded. Richening it does improve the idle quality some but doesnt get the rpms where they should be.

    New edelbrock 1406

    I am very confused. I got another new pcv valve checked the hose, new grommet, and hose clamps and it still sounds like a vacuum leak and makes my truck idle rough and higher even with the idle screw backed out all the way it is running at about 800 rpm. I took the PCV out and put my thumb over...

    New edelbrock 1406

    So.... I took a spark plug out and found that I was running lean. Here is what I found. The pcv valve seemed to have a vacuum leak, which is strange because I replaced that and the hose. It almost seemed like the valve was sucking air down through the grommet and up the valve as the valve was...

    New edelbrock 1406

    So let me get this straight. If I don't visibly see any fuel leaking into the throat (which I checked and didn't see any) and my idle screws work as they should and kill the engine when screwed all the way in. Than my fuel pump is fine at the pressure it is and the problem lies in tuning? Or is...

    New edelbrock 1406

    I will take a look down the throat like you said. I do not have a wideband. I have a vacuum gauge though I could use for the idle.

    New edelbrock 1406

    Hey guys, just replaced my old 4160 with a brand new edelbrock 1406. So far it's awesome. No hesitation and way better power. The only thing is I have this subtle backfire/popping at deceleration plus some wierd ticking/sputtering coming out the exhaust mainly at idle and off idle. Obviously...

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Thanks for the tips. I will definitely add that reinforcement kit. After all my research and from what I have heard on here and looking at prices My thought is to keep the half tons, wait on 37s and do 35s with a 4 to 6 inch lift. Once something serious breaks on the half tons I think i will do...

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Thanks I appreciate the input. Just for the record its a sm465 nit a th350. I will definitely research and as it is i am considering a smaller lift and tires due to probably not needing that much tire because of the level of offroad Ill be doing.

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Thanks for the info. Question. Is there like a crossover steering kit you can buy? or is it something you have to custom make?

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Haha yeah. I will read up on it. I have heard a lot about frame issues where the steering box mounts.
