    700r4 problems

    Also I’d like to mention I checked the fluid after driving in 4L and it shifting from first to i don’t know what gear and it was barely on the stick. I added a little over a quart and it got it to just above the full line. Then drove it down the road. This trans doesn’t seem to make any sense to...

    700r4 problems

    Put the blazer in 4L and took off across the property. It stays in first until I let off then it went into ? Some gear. Didn’t seem to return back to first on its own but I also didn’t come to a complete stop. Put it back in 2H and took off down the road, open headers screaming didn’t shift, let...

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    I can change the filter at the carb, it was actually running rich when it first got started, I turned the mixture screws in a half turn each so I could withstand being around it. I know the lines were clean before I put the pump in. I blew air through the lines and it blew fuel out(disconnected...

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    I’m not sure in your situation. I also don’t understand why if the accelerator pump is squirting fuel why it doesn’t start. The original electric pump lost prime after previous owner used it to suck all the fuel out for a bonfire. It’s got probably half a tank currently. It’s also got a 78 k10...

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    Pump came in, temp installed it outside of the frame rail since there’s only a 3” chunk of rubber line between the tank and frame. I just added longer and put it there. The pump fills the filter right before the carb maybe half way? And the engine won’t start unless I give it a dribble of fuel...

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    I got a fixd scanner and I’ll hook it up after I get the exhaust manifold replaced.

    5.3L LS checklist with part numbers

    Had the 350 out, ls in and fired up in four days. Waited around 3 weeks to get my existing exhaust welded up to find out 2” is too small, ordered full 2.5” exhaust and now I’m waiting on a drivers side manifold since I couldn’t get the studs out to replace them. The truck ran fine for the most...

    700r4 problems

    Probably a good half hour, I had moved the truck, not like highway speeds or anything but I drove it around the yard. I’ll try and take it for a test drive tomorrow and see if it’ll shift

    700r4 problems

    Not sure on the seal but the tcase and trans have been separated more recently than not, there’s blue silicone between the two. I added fluid slowly when I added it, shifted up and down through the gears, I added roughly 2.5qt since it didn’t even register on the dipstick after letting the...

    700r4 problems

    You see, I know fluid is measured hot, that’s how I added the fluid. But checked comd it was half way up the dipstick. Started truck and it’s maybe a pint overfill. Why’s the fluid so much higher cold?

    700r4 problems

    I went and checked the trans fluid esrlier, cold, been sitting a few days, and it’s way high? Start the truck wait a few minutes and it’s a little high, maybe a pint according to the “add 1 pint” to “full” range. Is fluid being way over full cold a bad sign or normal?

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    Ruined 3 drill bits drilling one stud out, ordered a replacement manifold. Maybe I’ll get this truck finished one day

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    At this point all I’ve got left is drill it out or replace it, the joint had a leak so I bought new studs and the last stud that had threads lost them during disassembly. I need to get this fixed then I can finish out my 2.5” exhaust since apparently dual 2” is too small lol

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    Well I’ve tried just about everything. Apparently map gas can’t get it hot enough I guess. I’ve tried candle wax, different wd40’s, lots of heat, impacts, vice grips, pouring cold water on it, tapping it with a sledge hammer aggressively, just about everything. This is exhaust is what’s holding...

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    A doorman replacement for an 01 Silverado is $110 at oreillys.. I’ll keep trying to get the studs out

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    You see I don’t know exactly what the engine came out of so I don’t know what the replacement needs to be, I’d spend $40 on a manifold. I spent $50 on a map gas torch that got me nowhere.

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    Anyone got any tips to get the flange studs out of the exhaust manifold. I’ve tried everything I have access to and even bought a MAP gas torch. I cannot get them loose.

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    I’ve got relays from my ls swap, what gauge wire do I need to run to the pump? I can run small from ignition to relay for a signal but what size do I need from 12v to relay and relay to pump?

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    I’ll look into throwing that carter pump on, is it safe to just mount on the frame rail?

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    83, originally a 6.2 diesel. Previous owner broke the crank, drove home, built a 350, dropped in and was in the process of working out bugs when he traded it to a buddy who neglected it and so he figured it was too far gone listed it for sale I traded my one ton for it.

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    Should I use input as just an ignition or while cranking aswell? When I got it they had it on the firewall tapped into dist wire.

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    For that pump would I need a relay or could I just run it to ignition? I have some relays left over from my ls swap. I’d like to get this blazer running sooner than later and hope everything else works out fine. Gotta get a belt and make the gauges work

    700r4 problems

    I’ll try and get around to going for a test drive. Just now getting home today, so not happening today. I can drive it like I stole it and something will definitely happen, hopefully just a hard shift lol then I’ll know this trans is fine

    Rod is straught I stuck it in a drill and polished it with 600 grit sandpaper to clean it up.

    Fuel pump pushrod won’t slide into block

    I have no idea I bought it knowing it was a vortec block and while I was under it I saw 088, the blazer was originally a diesel. If I have to pull the 350 out I’ll just swap to a carb block. I guess I’ll look into an electric pump that’s more reliable and low psi. Any recommendations? The...
