    What have you done to your square lately??

    I found a listing for the slip yoke seals. They are called dust boots they are a Spicer part. Northern Drive Train carries them. Now to find the correct one.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Awesome thanks. The CV joint still moves fairly smooth, you can still feel the spring force it back in place. I'm hoping the ball is ok, and just the u joints need to be replaced. I'll buy the kit any way. Have you seen the seal on the sliding yoke for sale any where ?

    Correcting uneven suspension

    It's the front- front driver side. Does that even make sense? :33: Yes, I was looking at the ORD's to go back with. I have their front rear spring hangers already installed. I removed a couple off of the back frame using an air hammer, it sucked. There was a broken bracket just on the frame...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I replaced the transfer case front output seal. It's a fairly easy job, its better if you have a lift. I don't:confused:. I found removing the front shaft made it a lot easier. It frees up some room to install the new seal. I had to do the old freezer trick on the seal. I couldn't get it to...

    Correcting uneven suspension

    Awesome looking truck. Did you end up with a 4" lift? I really like the way the truck sits, and the paint color. As a side note for a truck leaning to one side, I found one of my front spring hangers worn. The bolt had worn through the poly bushing and egged out the spring hanger bracket hole. I...

    Two tone paint

    A little off topic, but Chevy and Ford have brought back the different colored roof on the new trucks. I've seen several running around the area. The ones that I have seen have black cab roofs. I guess what's old is new again. :rolleyes:

    208 rebuild drawings

    Thanks for the replies. It's the front output seal that's leaking. I watched a you tube video. The job looks easy. I'm going to buy the repair sleeve just in case.

    208 rebuild drawings

    Can you or have you replaced the output seal on the T case while its in the truck? It's a 208 . The paper work talks about having to cut the seal in pieces and then pulling them out. Mine is leaking enough while the truck sits that its becoming a problem.

    86 HEI no spark

    To test the coil for Ohms , you would need a volt, ohm meter. I've had the pick up go bad it's the part that reads the signal from the reluctor ring when it spins.

    question about gmc vs chevy

    Do whatever you like. I put new Z-71 emblems on my truck. I put them where the Silverado emblems would be. My truck was stripped of all the trim and emblems by the PO. I'm thinking of buying a set of Texas Edition emblems and putting them on her. I have a set of Trail Boss decals but haven't...

    How's the MSD Atomic FI working for you? Nice truck.

    Multiple Battery types and the danger of diode damage with modern batteries mixed with Lead Acid and OEM alternators.

    For the win.

    Need a bit more oomph...

    I've drove mine last winter, with no problems. In SE Texas we don't get many days below 40. I could see if you were in freezing temps for months that it would be a problem. What if you ran a heat riser to the air cleaner?

    Need a bit more oomph...

    I'm on the TX gulf coast, the Vortech's work fine down here. I went with a GM HYD roller cam . The HT 383 ,Ram Jet engine cam. I'm really happy with this combo. Agree with making power below 5000 rpm. I'm not drag racing my K-10.

    Need a bit more oomph...

    I would look for a head rated in the 170-185 cc port range. You would want them with a 62-66cc combustion chamber. Looking on Summits website I found several that are affordable. You have the GM Vortech's. They have really gone up in price. There are Pro Max which are aluminum. The reviews on...

    The heads on your crate 350 are the biggest problem. They sux. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-k12-249-4 See the attached link to what I think would be a good upgrade to your truck.

    How would you make this truck less ugly??

    I did my interior also. It makes it much better to drive if it's nice.

    How would you make this truck less ugly??

    I like the color scheme. The fender needs some love, so the signal light can be replaced. What happened to the rear wheel well? Did it rust out or did some one use a can opener on it. I would try and remove the old trim mounts and buff out the paint. The wheels are nice. They could be...

    Transmission cooler ideas

    I always use the B+M coolers. I've used both the rubber slip on with clamps and the screw fittings with AN fitting. I have also used the one with a fan mounted to the cooler. The 99 Camaro pictured in my sig. Had coolers for oil, trans, and power steering. The oil and trans were mounted behind...

    R12 to 134. Whats really needed to do this swap for a great working system. All parts needed?

    I replaced everything with new. I used a red orifice tube. I think mine took 3 3/4 cans of 134. I probably let some leak out of the cans and hoses. My post comes up in the similar threads below.

    Now we move into desperation territory (seeking advice)...

    I might switch out the plug in Prom. I would think that its corrupted. It's what really tells all the circuits when to switch, the injectors to fire, spark ETC. The ECM is a solid-state device if something failed in it, I don't think a power reset would fix it. It would stay broken. Example bad...
