    Jack placement

    I am pretty certain your '79 is going to be different from my '87:

    Seriously bummed with this drivetrain setup right now :(

    I know I learned a lot from it. Thank you for posting the fix and not leaving us all hanging. I am really happy you got it figured out and all that time and money spent is now doing what you want.

    1987 R10 5.7 EFI Air Cleaner GM Part Number

    Do you mean this entire assembly? I am not sure its available and I think it was just for '87. I believe it has a different lid starting in '88. I know my '95 had dual posts but this '87 has a single center post.

    I'm at a loss..

    I am not sure I agree with this...a proportioning valve limits the amount of pressure to the rear. The next quote below this one adds to my questions about that valve. If the fronts are always cold...they aren't getting enough pressure. Of course your definition of "cold" probably means "not...

    I'm at a loss..

    It's possible that one of the "new" components is bad. I am curious about why it is "obvious" it's not the proportionating valve? Are you 100% sure that the brake pedal is releasing the master cylinder completely?

    I need help and to know what this truck is worth

    A couple Points to Ponder here... 1. That really is a very nice example of the upper end trim level and was obviously a beautiful truck in its day. I would have loved to have owned that truck when it was new. 2. What happened to the OP? 2 entire posts so far...

    I need help and to know what this truck is worth

    If you have never had to remove a tree that has grown through a piece of equipment you will be amazed at how difficult it can be. Getting that tree out of the truck or getting the truck out of that tree is going to be a pain in the a$$. Owner sounds like a jerk and I despise him for letting...

    New member 1987 V10 4x4 Longbed Upgrade

    I think the difference is about 3.1". Yeah, I know we don't measure inches by the tenth... I would bet the difference is not really noticeable to anyone but you at this point. You have done a great job with that truck, you are seeking a level of perfection that truck didn't have the day it...

    Looks like it's time to part with one of my squares

    @mtnmankev if you can get a couple cell phone pics of that truck and text them to one of us we can post them for you. Feel free to PM me and we can swap cell numbers if that would help you. Do you have an actual dollar figure in mind for this truck? @Grit dog is your buddy advertising that...

    8-track player install

    It's relatively simple. My wife Bigun/Mrs. Redfish has a sister. That sister is my Satan-In-Law. She was married to a great guy. She divorced him. The rest of the family kept him. He is Godfather to my son, a wonderful friend and he has a couple of really nice classic cars. The '79 Trans...

    Tuff Country Lift Kit Experience

    @scenic760 you don't need any brake line extension or relocation for a 2" lift. I am thinking @waterpirate is correct about the "One instruction manual for everything". I also think that most of the instruction manuals for stuff like this are written more for shops that do this work often, not...

    8-track player install

    My favorite-ex-brother-in-law has the factory AC/Delco 8 track in his '79 Trans Am. There is a cool factor to it that cannot be duplicated. 1. It fascinates people at car shows. They like to see "original" and what it really looked like back then. The mini suitcase of tapes is cool also. 2...

    Wilwood caliper D52

    What did you find out? Did we ever reach a resolution on this? I have no loyalty to Wilwood but they have been building and selling that same caliper set for a long time. They usually work. I also recently had a technical issue with the Wilwood brakes on a '68 Camaro. I didn't know exactly...

    Factory hood stripes?

    If properly done they look okay sometimes. Not for me but everybody likes something different.

    Rally Center Decal

    I am not sure about the 2WD stickers but the 4WD are available from a few different internet searches... I suspect the color is off a bit but I am not certain. They are not quite as strong/thick as the OE. I STRONGLY suggest that you do not rely on the sticky adhesive on the back of the...

    LMC EFI gas tank install

    I copied this from the Harris Tuning TBI website. 1. First I start with a new Fuel pump, STOCK 75lph TBI fuel pump will only support about 230hp before the fuel pressure drops like a rock. I recommend upgrading to the 1996 Vortec 155lph fuel pump which can support up to 450hp and plugs...

    LMC EFI gas tank install

    If your motor is stock or close to stock the fuel pump for a 1987 TBI will be fine. If you have a lot more horsepower there are some fuel pumps that flow more than the OE pump. If you check the Harristuning website he recommends a better pump for more horsepower and he tells you how much...

    radio sound?

    I am not making fun of you here but you do realize your question sounds a bit silly? If you don't have any speakers connected you are not going to have any sound. Do you still have front speakers? If you have front speakers but the speaker wires for the rear are still connected to the radio...

    1973 K5 Blazer full removable top a little high but is it rare???

    I bet you don't! Mrs. Redfish is as mean as a rattlesnake on a hot day with a sore fang that just had her tail stepped on. I would post a pic of her but she is so big that this forum doesn't have enough bandwidth for a picture that large. The "Till Death do Us Part" section of the wedding...

    1973 K5 Blazer full removable top a little high but is it rare???

    No worries. Because: 1. You are simply All Around Awesome at least 99% of the time. 2. Everyone makes mistakes. Except for my wife, she is right all the time... @Grit dog was exactly right with his response. The "topless" look of the '69 to '72 and the '73 to '75 makes for a more desirable...

    1973 K5 Blazer full removable top a little high but is it rare???

    I am going to have to disagree with @oldretiredafguy on this one. The first couple of years of the squarebody the Blazers and Jimmys had removeable tops that went all the way up to the windshield. After 75 the removeable part stopped behind the front seats and left the "cab" roof as a solid...

    Got an '82 C20... its killing me with electronics issues

    LEDs only allow current flow in one direction. Make sure the ground is properly done and that the positive/negative wires are connected properly. Check for voltage at the connections and verify that you have positive to positive, negative to negative. Welcome to the site.

    Wilwood caliper D52

    If you have the original calipers maybe try bolting one up with the new rotor just to see?

    Wilwood caliper D52

    What rotors are those? That is definitely not a factory rotor setup, did those come as a package from Wilwood? The rotors could be your whole problem.
