    700R4 Information Thread

    Thank you for the explanation. Whilst I'm a mechanic I'm not a transmission guy at all. I've always known someone that did them so I never learned.

    700R4 Information Thread

    I know, it's been a year and 4 months. That's one of the reasons I decided to keep the MDX that was given to me. I'd love to continue to drive the square to work everyday, but I'm got to cut down on the mileage. I still spend plenty of time behind the wheel of the square, just not on my...

    Connect phone to factory AM radio

    My ash tray is no longer an ash tray. The factory outlet / lighter is power all the time, and is the factory wiring. Then I added two power outlets where the ash tray use to be, that is wired to key on source. I use a standalone (garmin) GPS and having a power source that turns on and off...

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    @fast 99 & @Radiohead I agree bosch electrical parts are good for sure, even though I didn't think of them when I made recommendations. Believe it or not we've have been using a lot of masterpro fuel pumps. We can get them for less $$ at O'reilly's, and get this, masterpro the O'reilly's...

    Gee that's just terrible, I'd be super frustrated.

    Thank you. But could you elaborate on the "feel as though you're in neutral" thing. Thanks.

    Connect phone to factory AM radio

    I very much agree. I remember being able to get aftermarket delay wiper boxes, you probably remember them JC Whitney and a few others use to carry them. Yea, mounted it under the dash, wired it in and just turned the knob for the amount of delay desired. Last time I looked for one for a...

    Connect phone to factory AM radio

    I have a deal in my 77 Cadillac that plugs in between the radio and antenna cable, and then there is a box under the dash. You can select AM or FM and the station. Has a 3/8" cord off of it. Came from Radioishack years ago when they still had brick and mortor stores. You might be able to do...

    700R4 Information Thread

    @NickTransmissions I've got a 700R4 question for you. If it matters the truck in question is a 1984 C20 305 - 700R4 - 3.41 rear end, that one day I'll change to a 4.10 or 4.56. Transmission was rebuilt around 20K ago, it is an original 1984 unit it got the standard heavy duty rebuild, I can...

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    I drive my truck to much to put up with a clicking starter! That's really to bad! Yea, there used to be a guy in my area. When I first met him he had a shop and 4 employees. Eventually it was just him, then he closed his store front and worked out of his garage. I asked him when he closed...

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    @pbrstreetgang AC Delco would have been on the top my list, new AC Delco first, reman second. I'd suggest that you pull the alternator and have it tested. It's certainly possible that there is nothing wrong with the truck, and you have just had a series of bad units. But given the number of...

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    That's pretty much what I was going to say @pbrstreetgang Get a quality NEW alternator, try really hard to avoid remans if at all possible. These trucks have a super simple charging system, and most of it is inside the alternator case. I'm headed out the door of the shop right now, but I or...

    The wisest way to modernize a C20

    @Camar068 These are the existing pictures I have. If I think of it and get a chance I'll grab some better ones that show the workings of it better. In the below picture you can kind of see the hinge and the ram under there. And here you can see the bottom part of the hinge and the ram...

    The wisest way to modernize a C20

    Well I quite agree and I wouldn't call all of my modifications modern. Like the running boards I intentionally searched out a pair of running boards that were old so they'd look correct. My homemade shelf. Here it is right after installation. Sure is nice to have that bit of space to put my...

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    Ya, It's going to take some running I'm sure. What I haven't mentioned is that when I first got it, it was stuck. I didn't try putting massive bar on it, but just a standard length ratchet with the spark plug removed I couldn't get it to turn over. I soaked the inside of the cylinder with...

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    Wired up the fuel pump and with a little huff of starting fluid she fired up! Took a load of wood to the house with it even. Sure has a lot more power than the 12 horse on the other tractor! Need to get all the engine covers and such back on and she'll be in service!

    Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering

    And my project. I was given this tractor. It was in a shed at a rental property. IDK much about it. It's obviously low hours, but it's sat for a long time. I've gotten it to crank over. I've rebuilt the carburetor and it'll run on starting fluid. I cannot get the pulse fuel pump to work...

    @squaredeal91 Thanks for starting this thread. I'm sure that I will post in it occasionally. So here is my "main" lawn tractor. So on the farm I have an actual tractor and then this. I use much like most folks would use an ATV. It's got a blade on the front for pushing mud and chicken poo...

    What Classic Insurance to get?

    I'm with allstate and have been forever, being able to suspend coverage on rarely used vehicles has been really nice. However even though both me and my wife have squeaky clean driving records, our rates have been creeping up. For vehicles like my 77' Cadillac it makes sense to keep it with...

    Are rubber valve cover gaskets JUNK? Pic inside

    Yes they do and what's the other one..... Gasgacinch... All great products I just can't tell much a difference between any of them other than 3M comes a in squeeze tube and those gasket sealants have a brush. I have used both and they all seem to work fine.
