    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    I have a 76 k10 so idk how helpful experience is for you and I know everybody hates on Rough Country but I bought new leaf springs for front and rear (2in lift kit) from them and my truck is smooth now. I also put bilstein shocks on the front and I had previously replaced all the body bushings...

    Brake light issues

    I didn't know about the bed ground! I'll check that out. The sockets are from AC Delco and they are wired the same as the sockets I removed. The bulbs seem to fit and lock well and all the tail lights are working now. I'll check the wiring for the new headlight switch but the switch itself is...

    Brake light issues

    I replaced the harness going to the tail lights but I haven't checked the wiring to the headlights. I'll double check everything is still right and right with the taillights. I'll look at the switch wiring too. I was hoping I wouldn't have to tackle that since it's all bundled with the rest of...

    Brake light issues

    I replaced the light switch and the printed circuit for the dash instruments but I'm still have the same issue where if I turn on the headlights the dome light turns itself on and none of the dash lights except the blinker indicators work. Also, as soon as I turn on the headlights, this 20v fuse...

    Brake light issues

    I ended up replacing the rear harness, the bulb sockets, all the rear ground wires, the blinker flasher, and I redid the connect of the white wire under the steering column that runs to the stop light switch and after all that, I finally have brake lights! The only weird thing was midway...

    Plastic instrument holder

    Hello! Could someone tell me what this plastic piece that holds all the instruments is called and if someone makes reproductions? The one in my 76 K10 is in sad shape.

    Brake light issues

    I think I'm going to order a new harness for the rear. None of the lights seem to be doing what they're supposed to do lol

    Brake light issues

    Interesting. It looks like someone had spliced the wires at one point but now they're just connected back together. I'll double check the connections. What is the mini bulb for? That used to blink when I put the turn signal switch on

    Brake light issues

    I ordered new sockets but would I be better off getting a whole new rear wiring harness? All the wiring in my truck is a mess

    Brake light issues

    Hello! The brake lights stopped working in my 76 K10 but all other lights continued to work fine. The brake light switch was in rough shape so I replaced it but instead of the brake lights working, now the brake light bulbs flash instead of the indicator bulbs when the blinker is turned on. I've...

    Steering wheel off after 2in lift

    Hello! I just finished putting a 2in lift on my 76 K10 and when I went to test drive it, I noticed the wheel had to be turned to the 3 o clock position in order to drive straight. Is this normal after a lift or did I screw something up? Also, is this fixed via alignment or should I just pop...

    Help - can't get front hub off

    Hello! I'm trying to remove the driver's side hub from my 76 K10. I removed the snap wring and spindle nut and now I can't tell what else is holding the hub on. Axle is a Dana 44 and the hubs aren't locking. Do I just need to force it off?

    2in lift - Does anything need to be adjusted?

    Hello all! I'm looking at Tough Country's 2in add a leafs for my 76 k10 but I'm wondering if I need to adjust brake lines or steering components after doing the lift. I'm assuming no since it's only 2 inches but I wanted to be sure before I go and place an order

    Intermittent noise coming from DF wheel area

    Yeah it's still full time 4wd. I'll put it up on jack stands like you suggested and see if I learn anything

    Intermittent noise coming from DF wheel area

    Could the noise be related to the driveshaft somehow? I'm pretty sure it's not a wheel bearing since it happens randomly and it doesn't seem to be anything with the brakes

    Intermittent noise coming from DF wheel area

    Hello all! I have a 76 K10 Scottsdale and recently I've been plagued by an intermittent noise coming from the front driver's side wheel area. It's a loud squealing/grinding type sound and it will start happening randomly and will go away if I let off the gas or if I press on the gas harder so...

    Perfect. That's what I needed to know. Thank you!

    76 K10 rear main seal

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it but is there any reason I should replace the oil pump while I'm replacing the rear main seal?
