    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Is there anything I need to watch out for that could happen while removing it? I’ve never touched an ls engine other than this one. $5 oring is way cheaper than 1200 for another 5.3 off marketplace.

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    Is this something that can be done with engine in the truck? Truck is a 1978 k10.

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    What all goes into replacing that? And anything else to look at while it’s apart?

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    I’ve got a tach, I do not have a mechanical gauge. The tach is inaccurate it reads lower than it’s supposed to. Where’s the easiest place to connect a mechanical gauge? Either way when it’s fully up to temp I do have an issue. It does increase pressure with rpm but it’s maybe the bare minimum...

    LS swap lost oil pressure

    So I recently finally finished my ls swap and started driving it. Once I’d made it to the point of starting to let it run more I changed the oil(before it ever left the yard) the engine runs smooth and quiet without any crazy noises. I used an aluminum adapter piece by lanzar? Or something...

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    Finally decided on a muffler and I’ve got my exhaust clamped together dropping it off Monday to get welded up. Ended up going with manifolds 2.5” pipe and thrush mufflers with 4” tips 90° out the back behind the tires. Fairly quiet at idle little louder when really on it. I noticed when fully...

    350 TBI o2 sensor

    Does orientation matter in the pipe? It’s at 12’ oclock on the collector at the bottom of the headers. I think I’m going to have to extend the wire by around 3” to have some wiggle room. It might reach but it’ll be tight. I can put it at 3oclock towards the middle of the truck if that would work...

    350 TBI o2 sensor

    Alright so I bought an o2 sensor went to put it in and the bung placement is right in the way of the shifter linkage, so what now? Put a bolt in it and move the o2 sensor elsewhere? Find factory manifolds and put back on?

    700r4 problems

    Took blazer on a test drive shifted and got up to 40 but had so much slop all over the road I gotta change the drag link. Time to go back through an old forum to find part numbers for the drag link adjustment sleeve and tie rod at the knuckle. I’ve found the pitman arm side.

    700r4 problems

    I don’t know if they came loose or weren’t put in but I was just told there were bolts missing to the torque converter. I’m hoping this other trans lasts a good while, I got a good deal on it but either way building this one for a daily driver.

    700r4 problems

    Drumrollllll please, I was told that the torque converter was missing bolts and that must have caused the pump inside to fail. Is that a plausible scenario? I’m going to pick the blazer up today with a new to me trans in it.

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    Got all my issues resolved except for two. Still getting a po507 high idle code, and if in neutral and I try to rev it too high it goes to limp mode. I’ve got all gauges finally working besides tach and speedo. Dropping the truck off at muffler shop this week, going with stock manifolds 2.5”...

    700r4 problems

    Dropped off the blazer at a shop today to have the trans looked at. Will have results within a week, either repair or replace.

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    I’ll have to look closer to make sure it’s straight in line with the linkage, it’s decent after it moves it’s just getting it to move in the beginning. Between the hard throttle pedal and the hydraulic clutch always giving me issues, it makes it hard to drive slow through a field with nine...

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    I have a brand new cable if that’ll help but if I can salvage this one that would be preferred. It moves smoothly once you get it moving but the very beginning is stiff. It’s better than before but still rough

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    Gotcha, it’s just stiff so it’s hard to gradually ease on the throttle in a lower gear. It will start lurching like one of those videos of guys on zero turn lawn mowers slinging themselves back and forth. That’s what the truck will do if it’s idling in low and I try to touch the throttle...

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    Drove the truck to work today, warm idle is occasionally around 600, but usually about 800(I wanted it a little higher for the manual trans) but I’ve still got a really hard gas pedal. It makes driving in low impossible and first is pretty rough if you don’t fully commit. I was working on a barn...

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    Finally got the cap off, probably turned the screw half a turn to get idle between 650/700 with iac closed and unplugged. Pedal is somewhat softer, I’ve got a new cable just incase. Truck idles fine but cranked for forever and alternator isn’t happy, it appears to be charging but not past 13 on...

    Quadrabog bogs

    Worked close to home this afternoon(~1mile), decided to drive this truck to work. On the way there the truck didn’t want a lot of throttle and wasn’t happy when it hit second gear and it shifted to third around 30mph (got up to 35 before stop sign) when I went to leave(an hour or so later) first...

    700r4 problems

    I’m working on the blazer again today, I’ll try the hose vent and see if it’s clogged, I’ve tried adjusting the tv cable since it held first for forever I put it in 4L and there’s no way it was in first, it didn’t have enough torque. It also didn’t shift past whatever gear it was in. My method...

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    I’ve put roughly 35 miles on the truck so far and the only two codes I have that returned are cyl4 misfire and iac rpm higher than expected. I replaced the plugs and wires this morning, 1 looked awful, 7 wasn’t even the same as the others, and 2,3,4,5,6,8 looked fine. 8 was a real pita to get...

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    I’ll break the cap n adjust it

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    So I 100% need to turn the idle up slightly

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    No when I disconnected the iac and tried to start the truck it wouldn’t start or stay running without throttle
  25. iamtherealJayy

    TBI 350 barely runs after tbi rebuild

    Alright, I’ve never had any issue with the truck idling too low so I’ve never had a reason to mess with the idle screw. I’d rather leave it capped than start trying to bandaid a problem
