    14 bolt, Full-floater drum brake squeak?

    Bump. Any thoughts on this? Need to decide if I need to pull the drum to take a look. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    14 bolt, Full-floater drum brake squeak?

    I've got what I think is just a drum brake squeak on my left rear. One squeak per wheel revolution and it goes away with a light tap on the brake pedal. Was intermittent but it's now pretty much constant at low speeds (can't hear it at higher speeds but may still be there). The noise isn't...

    What was your first Vehicle?

    My dad bought a '64 F-100 short-wide when I was in HS which is what I drove. 292 V-8, 3 speed with a Hurst shifter, dual glasspacks, 4-barrel holley - got me into a bit of trouble a few times.

    454 TBI Injectors

    Anyone got any they want to sell? Let me know what the P/N is and your price. Looking for 91-93 in particular, but will consider others. These will go in my 383 vortec build.

    Suburban Barn Doors for Sale

    Here's my latest CL ad: https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/5721664266.html One of them is fairly dent free, the other has a bit of a crease. All your other requirements are good (working defrost, locks, etc) I'd be willing to work with you on shipping, but you'd have to make all...

    what fuel pump for 18 psi in TBI?

    Thanks for all the input, guys. I should have mentioned earlier that I've also been talking with David from Old School EFI who just happens to be in my hometown of Vancouver, WA (He's mentioned in this thread: http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4560). He's also recommending the...

    what fuel pump for 18 psi in TBI?

    Thanks for the info, I have admittedly seen some of those posts but it's nice to have them in the same place! I went through the math on dynamicefi.com. If I use the 17084304 injectors per your suggestion and assume 325 horsepower (what the TB I'm using is rated at) and 85% duty cycle I...

    what fuel pump for 18 psi in TBI?

    I'm still in parts gathering phase for my 383 vortec build. I have an enlarged 46 mm throttle body, but I'm pretty sure I will need to be running 18 psi or so with stock injectors (feel free to offer a different opinion). To get to 18 psi assuming I need a new fuel pump? What fits in the...

    Installing Tach in a Non-Ghetto Way?

    Well, I know you didn't want to spend $200-ish, but I used the GM Sports tach which is in that range. I love it just because of how factory it looks. No one ever even asks about it since they just assume it's original (except those that know squares and that they never came with tachs in the...

    Suburban Barn Doors for Sale

    Selling my barn doors - my conversion to tailgate is done. I know shipping these will not be real feasible, but if someone wanted just the glass (intact defroster wires) perhaps something could be arranged. Here's my Portland Craigslist ad that shows a few pics, info, pricing, etc...

    Daytime running lights

    One idea for relays: pick-n-pull. A coworker and I were discussing this at lunch today and we looked up prices. $5 for a 5-pin or less relay. Original GM relays vs more expensive Chinese junk seems like a good deal to me. My coworker said he's even found mid 90's GM cars that had a mounting...

    Daytime running lights

    Seems like a good plan to me. I'm no expert, but I have been playing with relays a good bit lately. Low beams on with key in RUN or ACC; OR headlight switch on, dimmer on low; OR both. High beams AND low beams on with key in ACC or RUN AND Headlight switch on and dimmer on high. Funny...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    All the wiring at the alt looks original so I'm pretty sure I'm OK. If I ever have to replace it I'll make sure it's 105 amp. I did a quick search on Amazon for "Alternator 1991 V2500 Suburban" and mostly 105 amp units came up. And the others were 95 amp so not too worried. I have faith in...

    Radio Suggestions (cleaning up others mistakes)

    I didn't install it, PO did, but I don't think he had to do any cutting. In either 88 or 89 they changed from the 2 post radio like yours originally was to the 1.5 DIN which is a bigger hole and w/o separate holes for the tuning and volume knobs. So my radio just uses an adapter and doesn't...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    A few weeks ago I checked this based on the RPO code sticker in the glove box and came up with a factory 105 amp alternator. Does that seem correct as an option for a '91? Of course some PO could have replaced it with something less - I'll have to check a little deeper to make sure Sent from...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    Yep, thanks for all the tips. Upgrading some of that wiring with bigger gauge stuff is added to the to-do list. Probably will do the headlight wiring at the same time and convert them all to full relay-operated. I already have the low beams operated via relay when the high beams are on, need...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    Thanks for the info. On the no need for batteries to be identical if using solenoid: totally agree. But since I was replacing a battery in my other car that used the exact same series and fitment, I decided it couldn't hurt to make them identical. i.e. it cost me no extra to do it that way...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    So I got this all installed and working - I think it's pretty factory judging from the wiring diagram and install sheet, except for the fuse block I added. Moved my fog light relays over and sourced them directly from the new fuse block which is fed directly from the aux battery, prior to the...

    Radio Suggestions (cleaning up others mistakes)

    Ah, yes, you're right about his '87 with the 2 post. Although my '89 K5 had the 1.5 DIN so maybe they made the change then or in '88?

    I'll try and take a pic tomorrow for ya. (If you have a smartphone, get an app called tapatalk and access this site from there - makes uploading pics way easier) I may be a bit behind the times, tho. I googled "GM 1.5 DIN" and it seems like there are lots of choices for radios now that fit...

    Radio Suggestions (cleaning up others mistakes)

    I really like the alpine that came in my truck. USB, full Blue Tooth, etc. The adapter plates that allow installation of a regular size DIN radio in our "1.5 DIN" holes are pretty common and easy to get. They look pretty good IMHO. How big is the hole that she cut? Too messy to do the...

    Factory dual battery wiring

    Yep my two batteries will be identical and same vintage. Main one is brand new - haven't even run it yet and heading to Costco today to buy the aux. But I agree, if they're isolated when key is off it really shouldn't be a problem - that's what the OEM relay does Sent from my iPhone using...
