    Hope these help. But it does not look like a slave cylinder will fit.

    77 K10 LS Swap

    Just went back and looked through some pis of the DS header. I currently do not have a good angle on the slave cylinder mount. As soon as I get a chance I will get some better pics of the slave cylinder mounting area. Keep in mind I am using a Advance Adapters bell housing and had to trim a...

    5.3 build pushrod question

    I did a an AFM delete last summer in my wife's 2015 Yukon. Got my parts from Texas Speed, I highly recommend them. Yes I do believe the push rods need to be swapped out as well as valve springs. May also require cam phaser limiter kit. Not sure about oil pump, I think the 4 required a new oil...

    Finally. The exhaust is done. Delta flow Flowmaster 40s sound great.

    Have been having problems with the drives side window not wanting to roll up. With the door panel removed I saw that the window track frame spot welds had broke allowing the glass to fall out its track. Nothing a couple welds couldn't fix.

    I was beginning to think I had some serious problem in the transfer case, but after finding the u joint issue I am very relieved. Actually ran down the highway at 70 this morning. Couldn’t do that before. The truck is a pleasure to drive again. Made an appointment to have the exhaust done Friday.

    Also had time to take a closer look at the drive shaft. Still experiencing a vide/wobble. Had the truck on jack stands in gear so I could visually see what is going on. Could see the wobble. After i shut down the truck I started to flip the drive shaft around just for grins. Thats when I...

    The temp gauge worked better but not as I expected. Then I had a thought. There is no coolant flow across the sensor. So I drilled and taped the into the side of the adapter and ran the steam line to it. Now the temp reads right on the gauge.

    The adapter showed up today. Would not fit in passenger side head do to clearance with firewall. So it was mounted in water pump where the mini sensor was. So far so good. Did not have time to get up to full operation temp. Will see how will it works on my way to work tomorrow.

    Thanks. That is great info. I noticed that LMC carries 3 different temp gauges. 73-75. 76-79 1st design. 79-87 2nd design. I originally thought the only difference was the face. With what Hatzie mentioned the difference between the 1st and 2nd design should be the resistance curve.

    ICTBillet 551149. I think this the quick easy solution. Will mount in passenger side head.

    Forgot to mention that the gauge does appear to be ok. Grounding the sensor wire maxes out the gauge. At the moment I am either considering somehow using the 77 sensor or seeing if it is possible to make the 3 wire work with my gauge. That brings up the question of what is different between...

    Ok. The factory 1977 coolant temp sensor for gauges reads 623 ohms setting on my work bench. 40 degrees outside today. The 3 pin 1998 camaro sensor reads 2.6k ohms. Hmmm. Just for fun I went to Autozone and had them pull coolant sensor for an 80 C10 and it was not only a different sensor than...

    Installed the new coolant temp sensor and pig tail today. Did not work. Well, it gave me the same result I was getting from the mini senor I installed in the water pump, barley registering a temp. Its either a bad gauge or the sensor and gauge are incomparable.

    Drive shaft issues continue. Took it back Monday. Watched them rebalance the shaft and everything looked good. But once back in the truck, there was still a vibration. With rear end on jack stands and truck running in gear, I can see a wobble in the shaft at the splined slip joint. Sent the...

    Update to my driveshaft saga. Shortly before installing the 4 degree wedges/shims to improve my pinion angle my new drive shaft lost its rear balance weight. While i had it apart installing the shims I welded a what believed to be a like weight washer in place of the missing weight. End...

    Ok. I am going show off my ignorance again. . My 77 currently is running a 03 5.3 and has factory gauges. I purchased a so called LS swap gauge adapter kit that came with a temp sensor. With it installed my coolant temp gauge barely moves when the engine is at operating temp 180 ish. I called...

    What coolant temp sensor in 5.3 works with stock 77 temp gauge? I am currently using a mini automated sensor but the gauge barely registers a temp but the computer says 190. Trying not use the large 1/2 NTP 77 factory sensor.

    Its good to know that local parts stores should have replacements. I will just have to see how long the PEX lasts.

    I may not be alone in this, so feel compelled to share this idea. Saw a short video on YouTube today on how to fix door strikers so that slamming doors to shut them is no longer an issue. First off I had no idea that the door strikers had a plastic bushing. Of coarse mine have been missing for...
