    Very nice stuff. Makes the work "night" go by easier...I think.

    Tuff Country Lift Kit Experience

    Just finished my Tuff Country/Suspension Connection experience. Also not good. I ordered the 2" kit with Springs and blocks. They promptly charged my credit card and that was about all I heard from them. Called back 3 different times over the next 6-7 weeks and was told it would ship on a...

    And...how do you like those Skyjacker shocks?

    @NickTransmissions

    Well. it would seem we have success. I dropped the pan (added a drain plug while it was off-already had it in the garage), had to do a little fabrication on the bracket at the carb (cable angle is slightly off from straight forward), set the TV cable to touching the plunger in the valve body...

    @AZ Highlander I may have had the sleeve full retracted when I drove it before and thought it shifted. It would have been closer to correct than anything else.

    @NickTransmissions

    So with the sleeve completely retracted I am still about 3/16" from touching the plunger. I am going to get one of these adjustable brackets to see if I can get closer to proper adjustment. I assume the difference between the original factory intake/Q-jet and the new Edelbrock with AVS is the...

    Hey Nick. If I am correct on proper adjustment of the TV cable the arm should be touching the plunger at idle correct? Below is what I found when dropped the pan. The plunger is back just a hair. Maybe a 1/4" i assume fluid keeps pressure on it when running? Thanks.

    Also, did you happen to measure the difference before and after of removing the front helper spring?

    Thanks. I will. Tired of dealing with the kid in his basement from Suspension Connection/Tuff Country.

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    My rear springs are new(er). Have a 4" Rough Country I am going to get rid of. Just cancelled an order from Tuff Country today as they cannot supply the 2" lift I asked for (rant to come elsewhere). Looking at going with the Skyjacker but don't want to be nose up either. I see where the...

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    @Redfish if you had it to do over would you buy the kit with the rear springs instead of blocks and if so why?

    @NickTransmissions

    I believe it was. Not all that sure now. It did feel like it but the trips have been very short and just in the neighborhood.

    @NickTransmissions

    Thanks Nick. Bought the truck knowing the tranny had been rebuilt and has a non lock up converter in it but that's about all I know about it. I will drop the pan an do a little inspection later this week. Just started back to work on my 12 hour night shift Sun-Wed. Saw this video on youtube and...

    @NickTransmissions

    Well, drove around the block with the TV cable basically all the way retracted. No pressure rise and di not shift out of first. Reset the cable by pushing the button in and having my wife step on the gas pedal all the way to the floor. Still no pressure rise and didn't shift. What is my next step?

    @NickTransmissions

    Thanks Nick. Will get it out tomorrow.

    @NickTransmissions

    I did slide the cable housing back, safer direction, until almost all the slack was out of the cable. You can see slack in the pick above. No really difference in the pressures though.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Added a Tach for tuning mostly. Not exactly where I wanted it but very visible and works fine.

    @NickTransmissions

    Lowered idle speed a little

    @NickTransmissions

    Nick. This is what I am seeing so far. No real rise in pressure as accelerating but just stomping a little in about a 25' section of driveway. Anything stick out?

    @NickTransmissions

    Nick, Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge. I have seen those instructions before you linked to. Only thing that threw me off was the part where it did not ratchet on and self adjust. I did read somewhere about some cables that did not do that. Not sure if that information...

    @NickTransmissions

    Nick, Didn't want to highjack the other thread but hoped you might answer a couple of questions regarding TV cable setup and the pressure testing mentioned in the other thread. Back story is I bought this 86 K10 from a guy I was working with a few months ago. He only had it for awhile...

    TH350 To a 700r4 transmission

    Nick, you have a lot of videos. I don't see anything on pressure testing though. Anything there I am missing?

    A little prep for some jam painting on the 86 C10

    Turning off weird

    Can't see the first video but if it is running on when you shut it off probably the timing is off.
