    Cruise Control Troubleshooting and Info

    This is an informative thread. I don't think this 84 truck had cruise but I installed the column out of my red 85 that did. So it has the switch on the blinker. Besides finding the servo, and the harness under the hood, and then running the vac lines, what else do I need to make cruise work...

    from 4wd to 2wd

    Just bought my wife a new 4x4 crewcab silverado so i do have it if I need it. Got the truck home today. Exterior cleaned up nice. Can't wait to strip it down and get the frame blasted and painted

    from 4wd to 2wd

    Well converting the 4wd frame to 2wd is already out the window. I'm sure even stock height 4wd solid axle rides like shit so I'd rather no spend a grand plus to get it stock and working and still ride like crap. Selling is out of the question as well. I've put too much in this truck to start...

    from 4wd to 2wd

    Thanks for the input guys. I forgot to mention, the transfer case is presumably cratered as well. It makes a grinding sound when I turn the front yoke by hand and leaks a metal colored oily grime all over the pavement from the front seal. I changed the seal but the yoke slip is worn. So to...

    Quad front Shock hardware

    I've heard the quad shocks are constantly breaking mounts. My truck had the mounts but I went with as single shock on each side for that reason

    from 4wd to 2wd

    So I'm pretty sick of my truck. I've never been a big 4x4 guy and I bought this truck in a panic after I totaled my red C20. The four wheel drive doesn't even work, there's no front drive shaft and the front gears are 273 whereas I put 4-10s in the rear. It has like A 4 inch lift on it and rides...

    Change from 2:73 to 3:73

    My bad, I meant you cant use the same carrier for 2.73 to 4.10 As far as 3.73 or 4.10 on 33s, you wouldn't feel a difference between the two.

    Stabilizer

    My old one was busted, replaced it with a $60 rancho and didn't even feel a difference

    Change from 2:73 to 3:73

    Pretty sure 2.73 is a different carrier than a 3.73. Different series such as 2 vs 3 or 4. Maybe could use a ring gear spacer to make it work

    NO power to TBI

    Yep, what he said. Sounds like problem between relay and pump

    NO power to TBI

    Yeah I missed the part about the starter fluid, so if it has spark, then fuel should follow on the TBI. You said you had power to the fuel pump relay but not at the pump? I'd get out the book with the wiring schematic and start the process of elimination with your meter or test light. Might look...

    84 c10 power issue

    Vacuum related prolly. Idles higher rpm, vacuum fine. Drop into drive and rpm goes down, and if you have a vac leak then it runs like crap

    NO power to TBI

    Isn't on a TBI, you have to have spark to have fuel? When you wired the tcu to the ignition system did you mess something up there? I had the ez tcu for a 4l80e and I'm trying to remember how it all went together.

    Help with steering on mod

    I also noticed the steering column, didn't know what would've caused it though until you mentioned body lift. Probably with he's eating steering boxes right there

    Help with steering on mod

    So, you haven't shimmed the axle, but you said it was turned down to prevent the yoke from hitting the oil pan. How did you turn it down? It looks like there is some sort of zero rate shim or block in there. Nothing in those pictures l really jumps out at me as terribly wrong, but something with...

    Replacing compressor

    You can get compressors way cheaper than that that will last years. Why did your system take 4 cans? They are only supposed to take 3

    Replacing compressor

    No idea. Compressors are 100-150 bucks, I've never tried to penny pinch that hard

    Help with steering on mod

    You said you installed a large Diesel engine and because the oil pan is so low, you had to angle the axle down to clear the yoke. Either modify the oil pan to allow you to shim the axle, or add leaf springs with more lift to jack the frame and engine away from the axle, also allowing you to...

    Ask him how long the springs will keep that shape

    either add more lift in the form of the leaf springs to get the oil pan up, or section the oil pan to clear

    Change from 2:73 to 3:73

    Also, 33's and 3.73s have plenty of power. I went from 3.73s to 4.10s with 33" tires and really didn't notice a difference. Wasn't really enough to justify the trouble of doing it. Now I have 35's and 4.10s but the truck still has plenty of acceleration, and I cruise at 75ish in OD and if I...
