    Let it ride or new axle shafts?

    I have my rear end completely tore apart due to a gear swap. I have some scoring on both of the shafts. I’m guessing from the wheel bearings. Would this concern you? Or should I just replace the bearing and seals and call it good? The close up pick is the more severe passenger side shaft.

    Slow windows fixed.

    Where do you think I got the idea from? If thinner can take pen off your hands, the options are limitless.

    Slow windows fixed.

    Paint thinner and a rag, it worked great. I didn’t remove anything, I just rowed the window up and down to get access to different parts of the track.

    Slow windows fixed.

    I’m so glad I didn’t go and buy new regulators and motors. The rails were severely gunked up. Cleaned them the best I could I added lithium grease to rails and moving parts. I’m glad I didn’t go out and buy new regulators and motors. $3.79 for a tube of grease and they are working like a champ.

    Stock Temp and Oil pressure gauge.

    Thanks, should be able to track down the wires coming off the main harness that feeds the printed circuit and tap into them.

    Stock Temp and Oil pressure gauge.

    Im wanting to get my stock gauges working and get rid of the aftermarket gauges. How are these wired, there’s nothing running to them.

    another drop discussion

    I had the same issue when I dropped mine. My front driver side spring had collapsed and it was a good 1 1/4” lower than my passenger side.

    Idiot I am no trans fluid

    Truck shouldn’t even move out of park if it’s that low on tranny fluid I thought. That’s some severe leak you got there. Hopefully you didn’t cause any damage to the transmission.

    Will 30 spline ring and pinion gears work with 28 spline axles?

    4.10s use the same carrier as 3.73 and 3.42 gears I believe

    Will 30 spline ring and pinion gears work with 28 spline axles?

    That’s what I figured, thanks for clarifying.

    Will 30 spline ring and pinion gears work with 28 spline axles?

    Im wanting to change my gears from 4.10 to a 3.42 or 3.73. All the ring and pinion gears I am seeing are 30 spline. More than likely my axles are 28 spline since they went to a 30 spline on the 88 years. I have an open rear end, so will 30 spline ring and pinion work? I think I said spline...

    Sitting lower on passenger side.

    Did you tighten the the control arms under load? If not the bushings could be binded and prevent it from settling down. If you say the coil is sitting right in the perch then idk.

    Driveshaft pulled out of tranny with flip kit install

    I took it out today for a drive, transmission shifts better now with a little play in the yoke. Before it was butted it and it would throw hard in reverse, now there is no issues. No leaks, drives good so I’m going to leave it.

    Driveshaft pulled out of tranny with flip kit install

    Is that normal, I did some digging online and it was saying the yoke should be withdrawn about an inch. It shouldn’t be butted up against the tranny. So is the picture of my yoke ok then?

    Driveshaft pulled out of tranny with flip kit install

    I’m done working on it today, but to test that theory I’m going to jack it back up again and see it raising it makes the yoke slide back In

    Driveshaft pulled out of tranny with flip kit install

    As the title says, the drive shaft pulled out of the tailhousing and tranny fluid went everywhere. What would cause this? Axle sitting on the leaf springs too far back? It does look good though.

    CS 130 Alt

    My question is, will any CS 130 alt work on a 84 C10? Guy at the parts store said there are certain alternators that only work. Something about the mounting holes on the alt to the bracket, and the terminals on the back of alt? I already bought the connector, just need to know what alt to buy...

    Painless wiring harness

    Sold the harness to a local guy for $250. Not really sure if it’s a good deal, but it was free so I can’t complain :)

    cs 130 alt upgrade

    I just tested my alt and it was only putting out 12.4 volts. Can bad grounds cause that much voltage drop? Or is it time for a new alternator?
