    God Awful Road Noise

    It’s probably a mix of all of them. I’ll check it out

    God Awful Road Noise

    Yeah the noise changes sometimes gets louder when I do a slalom, the vibration increases as well. I'm pretty sure the slip yokes work. I'm gonna double check to make sure the transfer case fluid is topped off and that it's not in 4WD. Would you say replacing the slip yokes and wheel bearings...

    God Awful Road Noise

    My truck has an unusual amount of terrible road noise, even as slow as 10 MPH. I'm starting to believe there's something wrong with the drivetrain and not just the funky tires or lack of soundproof. The tires are 25s? and they're Goodyear Wranglers with a weird tread pattern but I dont think...

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    I replaced the entire exhaust system from the end of the headers back and it does run better than before, is it ok that I have the cat and the muffler welded to each other? I’ll check for slop in the distributor. Yeah once I get off to college I’m probably gonna pull it and rebuild it or LS swap it

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    I just got 15” rims, I think the tires are the stock size. The headers are perfectly intact and don’t leak as far as I know

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    I think there’s an issue with the EGR sensor because when I pull the vacuum line to the EGR valve I get no vaccum on either side and there’s no change in RPM’s or sound. I might try to drive it without the line to the EGR and see the difference

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    I just put a new exhaust on and it runs better and new O2 sensors, just put the factory 15”s on and I’m not sure about the gears

    I’m starting with a tuneup and doesn’t the propane trick work for testing vacuum leaks? Mine has a throttle body spacer and long tube headers as well

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    Yeah I have no idea how long ago mine was tuned, the PO didn’t give a crap about anything except that it ran so I think I know what I gotta do

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    Thanks guys, I just replaced the gas tank, fuel pump and filter so I think the fuel is good, I think what I’ll do is run some various vacuum tests for leaks and replace a couple sensors and give it a nice tuneup. I’ll check the timing on it too. I agree it runs like absolute crap and it probably...

    Tired 350 TBI, suggestions to wake it up a bit?

    Just finished rebuilding my 1987 V10, rebuilt and finished everything except the engine and tranny, it’s got a 1990 350 TBI and a 700R4 paired with it, and after driving it the last few days the engine doesn’t sound too healthy, it struggles with hills and when downshifting a higher gear...

    LED Dash Lights

    I'm eventually going to get a tachometer conversion kit from LMC truck for my 1987 Chevy V10, and while I'm at it I'd like to get LED dash lights to put in because brighter = better. What size do I need or where can I get just a plain white set?

    PCV lines and routing

    I need either a diagram or pictures of how the PCV system is ran, when I tore apart my truck I didn’t think to label where everything goes, I don’t have the canister or anything hooked up.

    A/C delete

    I got it all working, thank you. I just used the same wiring from the A/C unit and taped off some wires and hooked up necessary things to get it to work

    A/C delete

    I’m swapping over a wiring harness from my ‘87 cab with A/C to an ‘84 cab without A/C. I have all the wiring for the A/C. I still have all the A/C components even though they probably don’t work. Hence why I’m just sticking with plain old heat. How do I wire this up? I have the heater core and...

    Power windows and locks don't work

    I got the driver’s side working after fiddling with the plugs and switches and cleaning them, the passenger’s switch doesn’t work because it’s broken, but works fine being controlled from the driver’s side. Gotta get a new connector and switch

    Those pictures are good, do you have any pictures tracing those ground plugs to the left?

    Wiring help/pictures

    When i flip on the high beams, I don't get the blue indicator on the dash. Another thing, I got the brake lights working but they don't illuminate just as running lights, they only come on when i hit the brake pedal. Are all these lights on the same circuit in terms of running/low beams? I'll...

    Wiring help/pictures

    I've still got a couple wiring bugs on my '87 V10 after rebuilding it with an '84 cab. It has a 350 TBI. I need some pictures of the under dash wiring to make sure all my grounds are correct, there's a couple stray plugs. I still can't get the low beams to work after cleaning the grounds off the...

    Rust opinions

    I bought a semi-less rusty cab to swap my old one which the braces were disintigrated, and knowing what I dealt with you's have it easy. I spent a couple months in between work and school repairing my cab but I learned so many new skills from redoing all the rockers and floors and braces myself...

    Power windows and locks don't work

    I'll take a look at the full wiring and see if I notice anything obvious

    Power windows and locks don't work

    I recently rewired my truck after doing a cab swap, and I finally got everything hooked up and working. The truck has power windows and locks but they don't seem to work right. The driver's door does absolutely nothing. The lock and window doesnt work, but the switches trigger the passenger's...
