    Thanks for the help!

    700R4 Skipping 2nd Gear

    Reverse works great. Most likely a band issue as you said earlier. Been watching some of your videos to try and educate myself. Is there any issue on reusing the torque converter? Or should I go all new on that as well?

    700R4 Skipping 2nd Gear

    I sadly appear to only have 1st and 3rd after some more testing tonight. Very frustrating as I've only put 1000 miles on the truck since I got it back together. I'm guess now I'm on the lookout for a new 700r4 or rebuilding this one. Can any further damage result in putzing around as it is? I...

    Starter wiring issue

    This might help. I made this for someone else earlier today. It's a doctored up version of what Jgonick just shared. Plus the circuit number breakdowns.

    700R4 Skipping 2nd Gear

    I can't tell if I have 4th tbh. My truck doesn't have a tach and the shift into 4th isn't very harsh. I'm planning on hooking up a temporary tach to try and more clearly identify when the shifts occur and at what rpm. I'll come back in the future with more data.

    700R4 Skipping 2nd Gear

    I'm looking for advice on things to examine on my 700R4 that could lead to shifting right from 1st to 3rd gear. The 700R4 in my truck was shifting through all 4 gears not long ago, but I recently ran it a little with low fluid (10-15 miles total). Since topping it back off I seem to skip 2nd...

    NP208 Tcase housing wanted

    Yeah I have all the stuff sitting in a box. I could potentially go that route. I think vr1967 is going to come through for me though. We've been chatting and he had one sitting around.

    4 x 4 light flickering when engaged.

    The transfer case switch is located on the transfer case. It sits on the front half of the case right above the shifter linkage. It is pretty robust and I'm not sure of a failure mode off-hand that would cause the switch itself to cause intermittent flickering of the indicator light. My guess...

    Headliner what to do

    Looks good to me! The trim covers up a lot of blemishes around the edges. I recovered my headliner several years ago. Was a pretty easy job to be honest. I prepped the surface by using a cheap plastic bristle brush to loosen and remove all the crumbling foam on the surface. Blow it off with...

    NP208 Tcase housing wanted

    Yeah I've been down this road some already. I picked up a whole case a few years ago to try and use. Tore it open only to find that the landing surface for the thrust bearing on the front output shaft was destroyed. Whole thing ended up being worthless to me as all of my other parts are fine...

    NP208 Tcase housing wanted

    Anyone have the front half of a NP208 transfer case housing sitting around? The one I is missing a chunk of aluminum out of the bottom from a rock or something. It came that way to me and was patched with some JB Weld. Keeps leaking out of it and after redoing the patch it still leaks. I'm sick...

    Power Tour

    I'm hitting the road from Michigan Thursday morning for days 4 and 5. It will be my first power tour. Also the first time the truck has been on an expressway. This trip will also probably multiply the milage on it by like 6 lol. Only just started driving it around this year. Here's a picture of...

    Choke Light?

    The "Choke" light circuit should only ever be on at the key on position without the engine running. It indicates that the electric choke is on and is not going to turn off in it's current state. The way it is wired is thus: -When key is on 12v is applied to one side of an engine oil pressure...

    Child Seat Anchors

    Not sure of a way to retroactively add the lower seat anchors like that. Shouldn't be a huge issue though. Most car seats have a way to be used just with a standard shoulder belt. I have two different car seat models myself and both have clear instructions on how to use them with shoulder belts.

    Updated: Installing a compass/temp mirror in your truck

    @RetroC10Sport Any chance you have the images from this post floating around on a drive somewhere? Looking at doing this mod soon and was hoping you would update the post to fix the broken image links. Thanks!

    C10 to K20 Body Swap – Driveline Issues

    My first thought is that the mounting location for the engine is wrong. If you have the capability I think you should attempt to place the cab on the frame horns to see what the clearance is from the firewall. That will be pretty telling for if the engine is located properly. You can use an...

    AC Delco AM/FM Radio For Sale

    This radio should work. I plugged it into the stock harness and it powered on and put out static. Couldn't test the FM function as the antenna wasn't plugged in so no reception. Comes with support bracket. $50 plus shipping. Willing to meet locally in the Detroit metro. I'm planning on attending...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    I have most of a factory setup sitting in a box. I also cut out the firewall for the AC specific parts. I don't have any of the lines, the compressor, or the condenser. The truck I pulled it out of had been engine swapped and they never hooked it back up. PM if you want to try to work out...

    Stake Pocket Body tie downs

    I haven't done it yet, but my plan is to install some rivnuts in a couple strategic spots inside the bed to have installation points for hooks or other hardware that I deem handy. Then I don't have to worry about the backside being accessible.

    Center Dash Head Unit

    I haven't started bought anything yet, but my plan is to get one of the modular head units from pioneer, something like this. My dash is uncut and I'd like to keep it that way. So I will try to mount the main body of the head unit in the stock radio location and put a blank plate over it once...

    Dual stabilizer install

    I ran into this issue as well. There are two different tie rod options on these trucks. If you swap to the other style it should work. Or at least that's my hope. I have the parts to swap to the other tie rod style, haven't installed it yet.

    Rockauto Discount code?

    Yeah same. I just knew of that prior so I still do it when I need a code. Way superior than trying to get something off one of the scuzzy coupon sites. I never seem to have any luck with those.
