    Axle rubs spindle

    I went ahead and put regreased everything and put it back together. I found a few things that might have been contributing to the rubbing. First was this. Evidently I fucked it up at some point in the past, that might've let things loosen up. Secondly, I noticed there are 2 grooves for the...

    Axle rubs spindle

    I've been getting an intermittent noise from the front end for the last few weeks. I think I've chase it down to the driver side axle rubbing the back of the spindle. I think that's a good way to describe it. Pics just to make sure. This Is rubbing up against this I think anyway, it's...

    Troubleshooting 1984 K10 transmission

    Once upon a time, I filled the transmission in my truck with water. I ran a case of transmission fluid through it to get the water out. When the fluid was nice and red, I set off. About 50 miles or so later as I was going up a hill on a powerline, it was just like you put the truck in to...

    Replacement panels quality

    LMC has the new Premium front fenders. From the description "Premium parts are produced using 18 gauge, OE quality steel for strength and durability to outperform current collision damage quality parts." At $200 each they are more expensive than the others, but we need a guinea pig.

    Spark plug wire opinions

    I’ve used the crimp-your-own MSDs before. I like neat plug wires and I figure MSD makes good shit.

    Window glass falls out of channel

    I just grabbed the rear channel towards the bottom and pulled it in just a little. Didn’t take much and everything was right as rain.

    Window glass falls out of channel

    I got frustrated enough to start bending things and voila! It now tracks perfectly. Seems that over the years both rear brackets had bent and let the rear channel widen from the front. That made the glass too small for the channel and allowed it to fall out. Took me a long time to stop trying...

    Window glass falls out of channel

    I checked the rear brace today and it is ok. As far as any adjustment, I just don’t see how to, but I’m probably overlooking it.

    Window glass falls out of channel

    The glass is falling out of track when I roll the windows down. This angers me and I want to start bending things to try and get them to act right, but that doesn't seem to be the best route to take, yet. I replaced the window regulators, and I don't know if the issue was there before because...

    LED Dash Lights

    Replacing fenders

    I heard that. I’ve dealt with this dude before. 81-87 Front clips https://huntsville.craigslist.org/pts/d/lester-front-clips/6833615069.html Idk about his fender prices but I bought a Warn 8274 from him for $175, and everything this else I’ve priced has been reasonable, but I’ve needed...

    Replacing fenders

    Maybe you already have, but if not, keep an eye on Craigslist. I got a pair of oem fender for $100. One is pretty dinged up, but the other is in good shape and both have basically zero rust. They are in good enough shape for what I need them for, but I’ve been keeping any eye out for a set of...

    Stupid Question About the Radiator Overflow Tank

    Thanks for the replies and info everybody. I always thought the cap just snapped open and closed. I understand now. Thanks again.

    Stupid Question About the Radiator Overflow Tank

    I ordered several small parts from LMC the other night, one being the overflow tank. It took a little modification to get it mounted up, the hole on the inner fender was pretty far off. I guess the 8 year old in the factory in Taiwan that made it was new to the job. Anyway, I want to make sure I...

    Ratio Adapter Drive Key

    I'm worried that the little key will prove impossible to find and require me to update it to one like you're talking about. I'm running the cable plugged straight in right now. It shows between 40-45 at 65. I can adapt to that, but I'd like for the odometer to be a little closer for the engine...

    Ratio Adapter Drive Key

    I feel like I've talked about this here before, but I guess not. My speedometer didn't work when I started on the truck. It turned out to be the drive key for the ratio adapter had snapped where it transitions to the square shape of speedo cable. I ordered another one a few years ago. It didn't...

    Tried to break in the new motor today, no crank.

    I finally got it all worked out. The original problem was the NSS, which I had replaced, but had not adjusted properly. The second issue turned out to be the starter solenoid, which I replaced with a new starter while I was at it. Everything is acting like its supposed to. Even got to really...

    Tried to break in the new motor today, no crank.

    So I did a little troubleshooting today. Per chengny's advice, I started with the purple wire at the starter. No power. I followed it back to the NSS and finally figured out it wasn't adjusted right. Once I got it set, I had power to the purple wire with the switch in the START position. Bolted...

    Tried to break in the new motor today, no crank.

    Thanks for the input guys. I did start the motor with a jumper wire and it fired up like a champ. But I have an oil pressure issue. Once I check a couple things out on that front I'm going to chase the wiring down and figure it out. I'll start with the "S" wire and if its dead I'll check the...
