    1983 K5

    I’ve also recently added crossover steering, removed the bottom leaf from the front RC lift springs, and moved the axle 1” forward. Finally a smooth ride and no more rubbing. This past weekend I pulled the tailgate strikers off my K5 and a buddies Jimmy, welded up the wear grooves, and filed...

    1983 K5

    I finally bit the bullet and got the Dakota Digital RTX gauges with the OBD2 interface. This is a very nice kit. Not a single complaint (other than the price).

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had my windshield tinted a while back with some 95% nano ceramic I believe. Cost $160. Dude said it was supposed to block 85% UV, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line, do it. Worth every penny. No longer feel the sun baking my through the windshield. Instantly noticed AC worked better.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It took some test fitting to make sure the modules and connectors were set back far enough to clear the backside of the gauges but it all fit and the terminations can be accessed. On a side note, if your running a PCM, the check engine light input (on mine atleast required a “pull-up” resistor...

    few parts I'm looking for?

    I used this on my 83 K5. It matches the metal corners perfectly. I make a point to put some 303 on it every time I wash the old girl and it still looks good 2 years later living out in the Texas sun...

    Low Beam vs High Beam

    Stock is 2 on low and all 4 on high. I swapped to these a few years back and absolutely love them. Very bright, long range, and a very distinct cut off line on low. Z-OFFROAD 4pcs 60W Rectangular... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZH7WC53/

    Driveline vibration

    Obviously the vibration is vehicle speed related. What frequency is it? Driveshaft speed? Wheel speed? (Driveshaft is 3.73 times faster than axle/wheel for example). For reference, drive shaft is usually a faster hum while wheel is a slower shake. Sort of like a lifter tapping is 1/2 engine rpm.

    Custom Rear Door panels

    I thought USA1 had the complete door panels available, but maybe not rear doors. I got their dash pad kits and it was very nice. The only Potential issue I saw was they over tightened a lot of the speed nuts on plastic studs. After that, I’d consider buying the parts from them and doing the...

    wiper motor replacement choices

    I bought this wiper motor from Amazon. Premier Gear PGW-182 Wiper Motor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5OR68C/ It was only like $40 back when I bought it a few years ago. It has been absolutely great. I’m running 18” blades and they still run faster than ever. This part number doesn’t...

    Megasquirt and LS swap.

    Wow. Just realized it’s an old thread.

    Megasquirt and LS swap.

    VATS is the only thing that will stop the engine from running. If you don’t have the Tranny it’s programmed for, it will set codes. When you get VATS disabled, just have them (or you) disable any codes you don’t need, such as auto trans, rear O2, AC pressure, etc. I wasn’t aware that there...

    Hard accelerator pedal

    It does look like your throttle cable has a pretty tight bend between the carb and the firewall.

    Hard accelerator pedal

    The bottom cable is the TV cable for the 700r4 transmission. Sometimes that cable or the valve it connects to inside the Tranny can get sticky. Does the pedal feel normal with the engine off?

    Kicking around doing an LS swap

    NP208 doesn’t have the switch to tell the PCM your in low range. You’d have to rig something off the shift linkage perhaps. The advanced adapter works great between the. 4L60e and NP208. You can then keep your cable speedo functional until you upgrade gauges, at which time you can take VSS...

    New fuel gauge not working

    I believe the sensor is 0-90ohms (to ground) 0 ohms or shorted to ground reads empty. 90 ohms full Open wire, sender ground wire bad read pegged full. Have an ohm meter? Most trucks that I have seen had 2 sensor wires (just incase it had 2 tanks) connected to the gauge cluster. Measure...
