    Ideas for extra ports on primary tank?

    My goal is to set up the fuel system to able to push LS fuel pressure for the future. The factory switcher can be too restrictive on the return side for systems pushing 60 psi plus systems and has always been a reliability issue. Simplest solution is to go to a single tank but I still have...

    Ideas for extra ports on primary tank?

    My current solution to add extra ports to the primary fuel tank is to get two npt bungs tig-welded on to the tank. Anybody done something different for secondary to primary fuel transfer tie in?

    Question for the NV4500 swaper's

    The inter webs lead me all over the place on my clearance question. Can a clean install be had (minimal hacking of the cab floor, ie. just enough for the shifter) with no body lift and a 4500 in a K10? I have an 86 p/u cab with the non removable 4x4 hump. My 4500 is one of the early GM 4x4...

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    Holy wow.... You wont see your combo any time soon. If a original gm release very rare. Three in the tree made your 4x4 unique. Coming out of the 70's the three in the tree option was so unpopular. Looks like a Ford top-loader crazy. Broncos are rumored to have come with a top-loaders as...

    stalling with low gas in OD but not in D

    Jims86 has a good direction as well. Computer should know speed of the truck as well. If your scanner is obd2 only, you'll need an older scanner or you can use WinALDL - 160 baud ALDL reader and build your self a simple interface cable with a computer that has a "real" serial port to get the...

    stalling with low gas in OD but not in D

    Since the low fuel condition and D doesn't cause the stall condition while cruising. I assume your are cruising down the hwy at, over, or somewhere around the 45mph (70km) range. Some cruse speed that causes the problem when the transmission is in, or shifts into overdrive. The motor starts to...

    Idle problems

    This is a basic statement of computer control. When the truck is cold, more to the fact the O2 sensor is cold. the truck runs at high idle to warn up the O2 sensor, aka Open loop. Simplest control, just the bare necessities to start just about any motor. When the O2 is warn and signaling, the...

    6.2 Engine Harness Repair or Replacement?

    I'm a fan of 60/40 rosin core solder (sn60pb40) due to my background. There's all sorts of tin, silver, and lead ratios. More tin equals stronger joint. Stay away from plumbing solder if you can, way too much lead unless its a 50/50 mix. If you use any solid core solder you will need a...

    86 cab left over connectors for what??

    I forgot the 81.5 and up had a cable pull for the hood release, that's the left over hole in the cab. I picked up an most of an old kick down harness today. Of course the orange is cut, but easy fix. It only makes sense that orange should drop through the shifter hole for the t-case to get to...

    86 cab left over connectors for what??

    Thanks for pictures and the confirms, gave me direction in my mission. Didn't have the tcase run lying around on the floor of the cab, thought it got ripped out. Found my end for the tcase shoved / bundled up in the dash after looking at your harness. Makes more sense now. Agree-ed something...

    80 Sterring box fitting

    I seem to recall that the steering box in 80 trucks may have had oddball fittings. I did a double take when i looked at the box fitting and the metric 18 o-ring to 6an fitting that you are supposed to use on 80 and up steering boxes. All my other o-ring style fittings have tones of open...

    Power Steering remote reservoir hose???

    From all the hunting i did, I get to answer my own question. So maybe some useful info for someone else. There's probably some other configurations out there, but this is what i learned. Even found some big blocks to look at but no small blocks. On a big block truck with / with out ac the...

    Power Steering remote reservoir hose???

    I seem to recall there's a factory hose to connect the remote reservoir hose to hydro boost pump when the AC option was installed. I know I can build up something with heater hose, but I'm sure the factory had a cleaner solution. I'm interested to see if ppl have some pictures of the hose...

    Hello from the Westcoast

    Thanks for the welcome... I have yet to dig it out from its resting place in the garage so no point to snap a current picture of it as of yet, its completely buried. This is one of the last pictures taken all way back when it was only partially hidden in its resting place.
