    Rear Bumper Question?

    Yeah, but it makes it easy to step up and get into the bed. That makes me sound super old. Eh, some day I'll go for the sport bumper. But I like my all chrome bumpers. I dont want no stinkin' rubber around my bumper. Im going to go raw dog into the streets.

    Interesting blower stuff

    Thats why they limit it to only 30 seconds at WOT at a time. And then there is like a 3 minute cool off period.

    Rear Bumper Question?

    This is from my 84 C10. I would only ass-u-me the bumper is the same. And Im sure this isnt the stock bumper, its prob one from LMC, but it was on the truck when I bought it. It has a hitch on it, its hard to see in the pic. I assume Reese, its bolted to the frame, and has the wiring for the...

    Interesting blower stuff

    I can prove you totally wrong, but it will cost you... about $180,000. Mercedes Benz S65 twin turbo 6.0L V8. It only produces 720 lbs at 1800 RPMs. Ive almost wrecked my fair share... which is only 1 of them. hahaha. You cant stop 700+ lbs at 2000 rpms even with 8 piston front clipers on 15+"...

    How much RTV is needed...

    Well, I can totally see why someone would get a 4160 or 4170. If every thing is adjustable, and it has a choke on it, I can see it being very streetable. And yes, they are super simple carbs. As long as you understand basic carb theory, tuning one isnt too bad. They are just a different breed...

    It will be fine once the qjet rebuilder fixes their mistakes.

    How much RTV is needed...

    Very true. But its something I didnt want to learn. But I guess Im learning more about Holley's than I ever though I needed or wanted to know. This truck shouldnt have this Holley as a DD or cruiser. I dont know how some of you'll do it. Its a pain in the ass. I want my q-jet back. haha. (with...

    How much RTV is needed...

    I also questioned if the accelerator pump was adjusted correctly, but the backfire through the carb happens at cruise, which would me that there was already some pressure on the AP. Although, that could still be the issue but Im pretty sure thats adjusted correctly. I think I just keep going...

    How much RTV is needed...

    Good f'n question? I dont know. Haha. Im just trying to get this to run like it kind of did before I touched it but without it leaking. I should have just replaced the bowl gasket and needle and called it a day until my q-jet comes back. But now Im getting too deep into something I didnt think I...

    6.0 + trans swap... What do I need?

    Its just easy. One stop shop. Info and parts. I mean, you could search all day over the web and try to mix and match parts. We did that for my buddys 70 chevelle with his 5.3 and T56, and we are still doing shit to that thing. Its just nice to be plug and play.

    How to make a daily driver?

    Although mine is not 4wd, my truck is a daily driver (when Im not fighting stupid carburetor rebuilds). Its totally possible even if the two previous owners treated it like shit. I would much rather drive this truck with all of its flaws, then to drive my 2011 CTS, and some days rather drive it...

    How much RTV is needed...

    ok... so after working on it some more. first, I have adjusted the floats, which were correct before the renew, but after were too high. They always leaked out of the boosters, both primary and secondary. This both took two adjustments after it was put back together... stupid "non" adjustable...

    How much RTV is needed...

    10 fish stick question. I read that the 4165 has reverse idle screws or some bs, is this true or false? I have the idle screws about 1.5 turns out. There are only idle screws on the primary metering block, none on the secondary. Also, this thing dies under heavy breaking. I have been reading...

    How much RTV is needed...

    Well. Spent the afternoon renewing the Holley. Got it on the truck and about the time it heated up, the secondary boosters were full on dripping and flooding. Pulled the fuel bowl and found trash in it. Cleaned it out again. And set the float a touch lower. Drove to the gas station and right...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    $30. It was out of an 84 donor that was the same paint scheme as my truck, just a long bed. Sadly she had been picked over. But I also scored a wiper arm I needed, oil pressure sender, and gear selection indicator. All for $39. RIP old truck.
