    factory-style tachometer

    A bigger question is: are you planning on upgrading to full gauges or are you leaving the warning lights? I think they do make small fuel gauge reproductions, but with your idiot light cluster, you would need some modification and it might not turn out nice (or not possible at all). On the...

    factory-style tachometer

    I've got the same fuel/tach combo gauge mentioned above from GM Sports Salvage. It is a great option because: - it's plug and play - fits right in and uses the large fuel gauge mounting points (very minimal modification) and then just connect the tach wire lead from the distributor. - the...

    Hood insulation pad

    I think I'm going with the dynamat hoodliner. It's designed for under hood and resists oil and can withstand the heat.

    Best fuel pump (TBI)

    Great writeup! I have bookmarked and will reference when I go to tackle this job - I have a 40gal 'burb and hitch as well, so this looks like it was written just for me! The walbro website shows just the pump and some other small parts: PN: 5CA401 This is just the stock replacement pump...

    Best fuel pump (TBI)

    Thanks for the tip - Walbro looks like good stuff (and yes, made in USA). Looks like they just sell the pump, so I'll have to get everything else too that goes along with it. Most sending units look like they come with everything else I'd need, and maybe I have to get a strainer too. Anything...

    Best fuel pump (TBI)

    Who makes the best fuel pump for our fuel injected trucks? I'd like to get the best one possible so I never have to worry about it. Is AC Delco still good? I've tried to always go with ac delco in the past until someone told me that a few years ago they sold out and now the parts are mostly...

    Hood insulation pad

    Thanks for the tip - I am looking into that, and I think it's a better option and probably does better for noise than a factory-like pad.

    Hood insulation pad

    I'd like to install one of these to cut down on engine noise. Did squarebodies ever come with these from the factory? Is someone still making them new? Or is there an aftermarket solution that works better? I see some holes in the inner hood panel, looks like it could accommodate one. Here's...

    Suburban stock spare tire location tire size

    Unrelated, but do you (glockholiday) have a build thread? I'd like to see more of the 2" lift and 33's, since I'm thinking of doing something similar.

    Suburban stock spare tire location tire size

    The 285/75/16 tires that I have are 11.2" wide, so while similar, my tire is a bit wider than your 33's. Also, burb tailgates are wider and protrude more into the rear than barn doors do so that's why I think your tailgate is not closing, and my doors do close. External tire carrier is the...

    SM465 swap for?

    Any other good overdrives out there that mate to the transfer case instead?

    SM465 swap for?

    I will keep that in mind, and the shifter for the sm465 I think will have to be re-bent in a different shape for getting into reverse - it gets close to the bench already and 7" back would be a problem. Yes, it will require some custom fabrication, and lucky for me I need a new exhaust system...

    SM465 swap for?

    Been reading up on the ranger overdrive, and I am really liking this idea more and more! It would be a bit of a project, especially working the tunnel and fitting the shifter, modifying the 465 shifter too. Has anybody done this before on here? A good read on this I found...

    SM465 swap for?

    I have the 208, would that bolt right up? What about on the bell housing side, do I need an adapter? Seeing as how the NV4500's are very rare, would a NV5600 6-speed work?

    SM465 swap for?

    I really like this idea! So if I understand this right, the crossmember I can use, but it just gets moved back a bit, then shorten rear and lengthen front driveshafts. As for modifying the trans tunnel, would that be more than cutting a hole for the overdrive shifter? Or do you think I would...

    SM465 swap for?

    While I appreciate the strength and durability of the sm465 (It's been through 2 engines already) I really miss having a true 5 or 6 speed while driving. Not having overdrive is not the best on highways (the speed limit's not 55 anymore!) and that jump from first to second gear is huge -...

    Advice on new exhaust - manifolds back

    My exhaust is in need of replacement: it's rusted, there are holes in the muffler, holes in the pipes, cracked hangers, failed cat, etc. So I'm looking to replace everything from after the manifolds - those look fine, and I don't want headers. One thing that I don't like about what I believe...

    Bell-housing Zerk Fitting

    By "it" do you mean the grease coming out? Or the boot? I can't find a boot... This is what I'm looking at: (ignore loose slave bolts) I pumped a bit of grease in and it sounded like something was moving with each pump... Didn't really notice a difference in pedal feel after the grease was...

    Bell-housing Zerk Fitting

    There's this zerk fitting on the bellhousing: What is it supposed to grease? How do I know how much to add? Thanks.

    What manual hubs are you running?

    I know, besides the OEM spicers, I've read that the Warn premium hubs are the next best thing. Maybe I just got unlucky with a bad batch...

    What manual hubs are you running?

    I'll have to check those out. I had some problems with the warn premium hubs. The first pair I ordered had a problem with one of the hubs failing to lock, so I returned those. The second pair, one of them was stuck and wouldn't rotate, so I returned those and currently have some old junkyard...
