    Factory GM Cruise Control

    I removed the entire factory cruise control setup from my 83 K10 Silverado. All clips, wires, vacuum hose, speed sensor and module. I did not cut a thing. I will never use it here in the mountains and the servo nipple for vacuum from engine was broken. You can buy a new servo and I will include...

    Cruise control arm but no wiper controls

    My truck is a turn signal & cruise only switch. The wipers are on the dash above the light switch and the dimmer switch is on the floor. They went to a multifunction switch in 1984.

    Good engine blocks for a build

    you are going to get a lot of "opinions" and internet banter on this type of question. People will scream to find a 010 block because they have more nickel content and are stronger... Some will scream get a vortec block... 2 bolt vs 4 bolt debate... really just find a good condition...

    Engine runs ehh not good

    You are confusing the choke with the fast idle. Tapping the throttle when it is idling high is only dealing with the fast idle. The choke is controlled by a 12 volt source and heat. A choke should open as the engine warms.

    Noises when heat is on?

    But you need an a.c. blower motor even though it is removed

    HELP! what are these wires for!?!

    That is a diagnostic connector for the torque converter lockup. Back in the day they would plug a device in that would check if the tcc system was functioning right such as is it sending a signal to trans etc. Leave it alone

    Check the choke, should be fully open when hot and fully closed when cold.

    Noises when heat is on?

    If it is a high pitch whirring, count on getting a new blower motor. They are cheap anyway and easy to install. If it is a rattle then there is something in the duct work like leaves, rat or a midget.

    What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

    First let's establish something. On my truck, it feels like I have 5 gears because I feel it "shift" 4 times. This is all at light throttle. From 1st to 2nd at 10-15 mph depending on if cold or hot. Then 2nd to 3rd at 25 mph. Then 3rd to OD (4th) at 35 mph and finally it feels like a shifts when...

    What kind of fuel mileage do you get?

    83 K10 350 Holley 4175 spreadbore 700r4 3.08 10 bolts.. lately I have been consistently over 9 mpg since I last tuned the carb. This is the most it had ever gotten. Not to bad for all mountain driving at 3600 feet.

    Engine Oil

    Yes, my house is at 3600 feet and my work is down at 2850 feet, makes for bad gas mileage coming home.

    Engine Oil

    I don't drive the truck that often. Take the trash every couple of weeks and when it snows. We had two morning near -10°, wind chills were about -35. If that surprises you, don't because the NW corner of NC is its own little world. The valve train talks a little when you crank it up on those...

    Engine Oil
