    sway bar bushing

    Ive been having the same issue with my 83 k10 suburban. I have the 1-1/4" inch bar as well. I thought the Moog "front" bushings came with the link bushings but I was mistaken. Would this kit suffice? MOOG K8657 Stabilizer Bar Link Bushing Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C59ZMC/

    Dumb question.....

    I really don't think its running badly at all. And I have hydraulic brakes so no booster line. I tried to take a video...but....its kinda just loud. I dumped a little fuel right on that fitting between the carb and dist. Nothing changed at all. I tried cupping my hands over the...

    Dumb question.....

    No...i have a newly rebuilt eddy 1407 on a 1" spacer. Ive checked all the gaskets. And the truck seems to be running quite well. Ive checked the vacuum hoses. Replaced one t-fitting. I'm beginning to think the carb is just loud. Although the sound does not really change if I pull the...

    Dumb question.....

    @Raider L I just saw yours and extremes posts on this. But thanks for the info. It sounds like I have a massive vacuum leak coming from somewhere around the carb. But I cant find it... Ive tried spritzing carb cleaner / starting fluid around but nothing impacts it. Is a 750cfm carb...

    My k10 suburban has a very mildly built 454 w/ th400 and sheis my daily driver. I'm pulling just about 12mpg on trips. Around town its between 6 and 8 mpg depending on if I can keep my foot out of the secondaries. But here in Missouri we really dont have squat for emissions testing. And my...

    C10 vs K10 steering component kits

    I'm having a good time trying to find a front end rebuild kit for my 83 k10 suburban. C10 kits seem to be common. But ive only found a couple that specifically state they are for K series. And they are the cheap parts w/o grease fittings. I guess my question is....are the ball joints / tie...

    TH400 seems to be dragging

    This may seem silly....but are you 100% sure you dont have a break dragging? And 60mph at 2500 seems right-ish if you are running stock wheels and tires. Should be 215/85/16 right (30ish")? Where in KS you at? My lady is from SE Kansas and im down there pretty frequently of you need a...

    TH400 seems to be dragging

    Yeah...i thought auto locking hubs were a relatively new feature for trucks. (Like 2000s). Lol but....untill I bought this burb in Feb, I had never owned anything 4x4. I most def knew NOTHING about them. Edit- lol now I know just enough to know that I knew nothing

    TH400 seems to be dragging

    TBH I did not know auto locking hubs was even an option in 83. I'm still new to sqaures / 4x4 in general. My 83 K10 burb has a 454 w/ TH400. I try to keep her just under 2500rpm, which is about 68mph with my 32s. She gets about 12mpg if im good at keeping steady speed and drive for highest...

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    If I'm ever out in the SW I'll take you up on that. Lol I am assuming this set up cost upwords of 2k tho, right? I doubt I can swing it. And i have no clue what CUCV axles are. Ill have to do some research. Was hoping to take her out to Eagle CO (9.5ish hours) next week. But I dont think...

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    Would I be able to run 32s at the stock ride hight? It seems much taller than the burbs we had growing up. I was told that this truck was "built to tow". Is it possible that this is 3/4ton suspension? This is a K10, not K20. Is there a visible difference between the two?

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    I've been pricing parts. And I kinda think I maybe want to just go ahead and put a small lift on it. It's really not that much more $$$ if im allready replacing all the shocks. I think 2.5" would look tuff. Not sure if I want to go as much as 4"...but idk I have monroe adjustable air shocks...

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    It's been a min sense I checked. But somewhere in the ball park of 38-40psi. What is considered stiff?

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    Now....the previous owner claims that they built this thing to tow a cabin cruiser through the Ozarks. Of they were overloading the rear springs this would cause them to maybe be sagging a bit? Could that be whats cashing the ride hight difference?

    My drive way is not level at all. I don't have a good picture of the full profile, I'll get one later. Need any other pictures of suspention components?

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    So...I dont know jack about suspension. The suspention on my 83 k10 suburban is INCREDIBLY stiff and the truck rides incredibly rough. I know these aren't Cadillacs but something must be wrong. Buddies bone stock 84 C20 rides like a dream in comparison. In mine, you feel EVERY bump and up...

    TH400 help.

    I really prefer to be in total control of my machines. Shifting gears is fun and the ability to pop start a vehicle is nice, has saved me a number of times. As much as I drive this truck I think it will pay for itself in a year-ish. (25+ miles a day + regular trips to the mountains from Kansas...
