    Starts then stalls. Stumped.

    Compression, fuel, spark, thats all it need to theoritically run. like mentioned earlier, fill the float bowls with fuel and see how it runs, it either runs better or it doesnt. if it doesnt run better it would be safe to assume you are dealing with a fuel delivery issue. after motor dies out...

    Questions about snow plows and mounts.

    I am in no hurry to buy something I will regret, I have used my little kubota 7100 for years to clean off our driveway, I was only looking at plows because my truck is enclosed and has heat. after really looking at what tractor supply has to offer I think I will look elsewhere, and trynto do...

    Questions about snow plows and mounts.

    I appreciate the honesty, I was just thinking along the same lines. It is very hard to judge how cheap something is made without being able to put eyes on it. there is a couple older used setups near me on Craigslist, but I dont want to spend 1,500 on something thats sitting outside for years...

    Questions about snow plows and mounts.

    it seems that 7.5 is a good length for these trucks. I look at used setups and and at new ones online and really there is not a big difference in prices. Tractor supply has a meyers plow i think is probly 7.5 feet, it states the dimensions of the box it comes in, but not the size of the damn...

    that looks like a nice sturdy setup, I do appreciate the pics and info, that is more what I pictured as opposed to a trailer hitch style mount.

    Questions about snow plows and mounts.

    how many points of cantact does your mount make to the truck, I think 2 would be sufficient, but I see a square trailer hitch style as being a potential weak point. what price range should I be looking at for a quality setup, I like to buy once cry once as apposed to being cheap and having to...

    Questions about snow plows and mounts.

    not sure if I am posting this in the right area, please move if neccessary. Looking to install a snow plow on a 1985 K20. What size plow is the best for these trucks, I was thinking 7-7.5 feet in length, I could see where something to big would be a problem. I see some of them attach to a...

    need recomdation for custom LS swap harness

    The PNP switch on a 4L60E has alot going. it lets the computer know what gear its in to control the TCC. provides another circuit for back up lights. and sends signal to the dakota digital gauge cluster so it can show what gear it in. I think it also has an affect on timing/idle adjustments as...

    LS swap

    Ls swaps can be done fairly cheap, if you reuse the fuse block and harness from the donor rig you can unfunk them at home with youtube videos, external walboro fuel pumps are not very expensive and will work just fine, you dont need a fancy radiator the LS motors have better cooling, I think a...

    Choosing a good radiator for LS Swapped 1985 K20

    I had no idea the later model radiators were that compatible, I do appreciate the info as well as pics, I am not knocking plastic radiators at all, my 2001 silverado that I have owned since 2003 still has original radiator in it with 365,000 miles and climbing, I just was thinking that an nice...

    Choosing a good radiator for LS Swapped 1985 K20

    dont think my reply made it through the interweb, so I'll try again. I am glad you mentioned an oil cooler, I had not though of that. I will look into the 1997 big block radiator, although I was hoping to get something that was all metal, no plastic
