    Clutch issues

    My pedal never returned higher than the brake pedal, I didn’t know the mechanical pedal traveled that far until I reach down and pulled it up. I’d say this second photo might be a little bit of an issue

    Clutch issues

    I’ve read about a procedure of “with pedal at resting position adjust rod to go into the upper hole”? Or something. With my pedal at resting position the adjustment puts the pin completely past the zbar. I figure one weekend I get a three day weekend or something I need to completely replace all...

    Clutch issues

    Mine has visible wear. I can’t change the throw out bearing just whenever, the truck is my work truck and I daily drive it close to 40 miles a day. It may all be in my head and thinking I’m gonna kill a brand new clutch in 5000 miles or something may actually be wrong. The pedal works it just...

    Clutch issues

    78 k10 with a 5.3l ls and sm465, sachs1050 flywheel stock 12” 1978 k10 clutch. My clutch pedal stays closer to the floor than I’d like plus if I try to shift gears quickly you can feel it grind for a split second before going into the next gear. My adjustment rod is maxed out at the end of its...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Finally got off early enough today to tinker on the truck, installed a tachometer and a temporary mechanical gauge with nylon line. Truck at idle is around 32psi, 1500rpm is at 50psi. 2500 reaches 60. After a rev it usually hangs out around 35-40 at 450 idle. I ordered a new sensor to replace...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    I finally found an affordable mechanical gauge locally. Whenever I finally get time to install it I will. For now I’m driving the 87 again.

    Question about exhaust 5.3 LS Swap

    In my 1978 k10, 4speed manual, 205 tcase, I ran the stock truck/Tahoe manifolds and downpipe but had the drivers side cut, rotated, and rewelded before the o2 sensor to clear the mechanical clutch linkage. I recently had my exhaust done by a local shop(I supplied all the tubing) they used 2-1/4...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    The tab on top of the gauge showed 9.6 for resistance, after some reasearch 0 is 0 psi and 90ohms is 60psi? (For ‘78 and newer style sensors?) could I check directly off the sensor and see what it reads? The sensor isn’t super accessible I really don’t know how I’m going to get it out later.

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Disconnected positive, checked various locations on the engine with red lead, black lead on neg at battery, ohms 200 and the highest value I got was 7.8 at the top of the throttle body. Everywhere else shows 00.0 and if it showed anything higher I could move it a little and get 0. I went...

    350 TBI o2 sensor

    What are some signs I need to upgrade? Or is this something I should just go ahead and convert to a three wire since I have nothing currently?

    350 TBI o2 sensor

    I purchased a direct replacement single wire, inform me on the newer style? I’ve currently got the truck gutted because the carpet behind the front seats kept getting wet, found out the rear seat floorboard is rusted up the whole way around the seatbelt mounts for front seats, I have no idea...

    350 TBI o2 sensor

    @Scott551 ive got it, gotta figure out what I want to do for exhaust and have a new bung welded in

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    How to I check the ground for the sensor? It just screws in behind the intake? If I didn’t get it tight enough could that cause this issue?

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Then again I don’t know where he hooked his gauge, he could’ve hooked directly to the pump, or not done it at all, I’ll never know. But you cannot make me believe the truck has 0 oil pressure and such delayed oil pressure with rpm and sounds so quiet and smooth

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    @Ricko1966 @peats @Buck69 Got the truck back from exhaust shop, truck fired right up at his place 0 oil pressure, no engine noises at all, backed out in the road took off averaged 20 at 55mph and got over 40 when going through the gears, 0 at idle. What gives? He said he hooked a mechanical...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    I asked the shop if he had a way of checking it and he said it wouldn’t be any issue hooking up a mechanical gauge, I’ll have results at the end of the day hopefully. And an exhaust of course lol

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Yes, the gauge and sensor are from the prior 350, which actually did have oil issues. Pressure was worse than this one and the rings were shot etc, the shop that’s going to do my exhaust today does other work, he just so happens to have a tubing bender and welder so I’m having him do exhaust...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    The junk on the filter could be sludge? There was a little bit in the very bottom but other wise the engine was clean. I did get some paint inside of it from cutting the filter open. The oil was very black despise only having 100 miles on it. There was a slight metallic inside the filter but...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    @Ricko1966 do you have a tachometer recommendation that would directly work? My cheap Amazon tach doesn’t have a functional 4cyl setting. There’s a “switch” on the back but it doesn’t do anything since it’s not connected to anything on the inside.. and where’s the easiest accessible location to...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    And the results are in, I used an ACdelco PF61E filter and Quaker State 10w-30 oil(5qt) and one quart of Quaker 5w-30, prefilled the filter, installed, filled oil, fired engine and, No change, it took a second to build pressure and went to 15 psi, I never checked with a mechanical gauge but it...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Here’s the filter, I’ve got it all back assembled about to refill with oil. Does the short/tall filter make a difference? I saw somewhere it did and I had the taller filter. I also noticed 08/22/05 on the inside of the oil pan, so the engine must be from 05? Just with an older ecu? I thought it...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Here’s a cold start video with an outside temperature of around 66°, no engine noise but gauge shows 15ish psi cold. Whenever it stops raining long enough I’ll get into putting a mechanical gauge on it. What’s the best spot to hook the mechanical gauge? I don’t really want to fight with the...

    I’ll work on getting that done.

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    How do I know which color I need before disassembly? Engine should be an LM7? 99-02 Silverado/Tahoe 5.3L. I’m hoping the oring will fix my issue since it doesn’t have any engine noises or anything but the pressure is way lower than I’d like. Inside the valve covers looked amazing so I don’t...
