    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    I got mine from Classic Industries,not too bad, had to do a little trimming. Cheyenne Pickup parts.com also has them,claim not to have to trim or modify. I think they are bit spendy though. But ya get what ya pay for

    gasket sealer for transmission pan gasket ???

    Thanks for the input guys, I come from the age when we bench pressed the transmissions into place and we only had cork gaskets. scraping old gasket sealer off is a pain in the as$!! I think I will just put the new gasket on dry,It's the neoprene or rubber style,and run this thing for awhile then...

    really need the experts on this, runs beautiful won't move

    correct!! if the bearing is to short it may not reach the pressure plate surface, also your adjustment rods for the clutch may need to be adjusted,but if ya got the wrong bearing ya gotta replace it

    is it common to not get much if any bubbles from the front reservoir while bench bleeding a master cylinder

    little update, after gravity bleeding all 4 corners which got a lot of black nasty fluid out the brake pedal seem to be good! I still am gonna pressure bleed the entire thing but at this point everything seems to be working well

    Has anybody removed ethanol from their gas ?

    I use Nuetra, from Schaeffer oils in my gas. I have been using it for years. great product, Have had a rototiller sit for a couple years and would fire right up. It seems to cut down on the bad effects of ethanol fuel.

    Turn signals not working.

    just got done with this problem my self. It was the turn signal switch. That switch controls a lot of functions with your lights.

    transmission oil change

    thanks all for the response. I don't know why they never put a drain in the transmission pans, I will add one before this goes back together. I have heard of people drilling a hole in the pan to drain ,then welding in a drain plug. don't think I want to chance drilling into something inside...

    emergency brake cables

    success!! got my E brake routed like an earlier model truck, a little welding to make an adjuster and works like a champ!! Had to make a small guide roller for the cable coming off the pedal to not rub on the transfer case cross member but it works good!!
