    6.0 NV4500 K30 swap

    I can maybe fit a 3/8" ratchet with a standard depth socket on it behind my engine(LQ4) to firewall. I used the ICT brackets for sbc to ls, not the plates. the plates have more adjustability.

    MY-6 \ A833 to NV3500 Swap behind LS

    Figured I would Post my project. Background, I swapped in a 6.0 LQ4 into my 81 C-10. It had a 305 with a MY-6 3 speed with Overdrive manual behind it. On the engine swap I kept the stock SBC engine placement with adapters and the manual clutch linkage. I used a Sachs NFW 1050 flywheel...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    pretty sure that's what I used. 1 can did the tank (i think) and then used a second to get all the frame and cab that the tank will hide.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    When I replaced my tank for the LS swap I coated the new tank with several coats of bed liner/undercoat, same with the straps separately, I then added a pretty thick strip of adhesive backed rubber to the tank in the strap locations. I went a bit overkill and added some of the same rubber to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I ordered a new clutch kit and the parts to change over to a hydraulic slave cylinder. Switching out the 4 speed overdrive manual to a NV3500. I was driving it at lunch 2 weeks ago and felt a clunk and after that it felt like the clutch was slipping if I didn't baby it. On the way home that...

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    Only issue I have ever had with my 04 is the AC/Heater is the weakest system I have had in a GM vehicle. my 04 Blazer and 97 GMC, 2001 and 2010 cars all have better AC and heat. Actually the heat on all of those will run you out of the vehicle after a bit. the AC in the 97 will freeze you.

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    oh yeah and the jamb door handle to open the rear door snapped right off when opening the door a while back... was easier and cheaper, than expected to fix. Mine has the Bose radio system.... its in the process of giving up... the amp for those are under the center console, I need to dig into...

    Looking At A 2005 Z71 4x4

    I have a 04 z71 extended cab, Had it since 07 and it had 36k miles on it when i bought it, 175k now. Wheel bearings went out around 100k. I had to replace the transfer case at 150k (my fault for not servicing it regularly and it ran dry). If its a 4 button transfer case, those where pretty...

    Thinking about a new smaller steering wheel, comfort grip or forever sharp?

    Saw a tip somewhere else that said to use the "tub'o'towels" (I think that's what they are called) to clean up the old steering wheel... something about the cleaner in them breaking down the sticky stuff and getting it removed which most other cleaners won't do.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Threw the truck on the road and cruised her to family Christmas gathering and home with no issues. Bonus was the drive home after dark… glad I checked the headlight adjustments the other night

    LS freeze plug issue

    If I guessed I’d say rust pitting from a slow leak for a long time before it got bad enough to be discovered.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Took the truck to town on Sunday for a shake down run. Gas tank filled and ran it home. Took care of a few more small details and threw it back on the road for an evening cruise down my road and I was hearing some roaring. Realizing I never touched the wheel bearings when I got the truck and...

    04 LM7 into 87 K5

    The VSS in the trans (before the Tcase) will read the same speed regardless of the T-case being in high or low. The ECM(PCM) uses VSS for shift tables. I don't think you can use a switch to adjust that.

    New Process A833 4speed w/ OD MY6 MM7

    Only thing I've seen mentioned is the bushing for the input (or output) shaft wear out and the case being aluminum they get wore badly there. Depending on how other projects go I will hopefully pull this trans before it dies for the NV3500 swap, likely Fall 2025. When that happens I'll post it...

    What radiator are you using for the 5.3

    I am running the stock heavy duty radiator that came with my Vortec/LS. You can cut out the lower radiator support out of the donor vehicle, with a little trimming to that it will bolt right over the C-10 radiator support in the stock location (use 3/4" spacers to lift it up a little) Then the...

    New Process A833 4speed w/ OD MY6 MM7

    Thanks, mine is the round tube. It's the lesser desirable aluminum case version of the trans, I'll replace it with a NV3500 i have on standby when it wears out, so likely won't need to replace the shifter Thank you for the confirmation!!

    New Process A833 4speed w/ OD MY6 MM7

    So is it correct that to remove the shift arm on this trans there are two retaining springs (one on each side, I assume passenger side and driver side) that need to be depressed and the shift arm will come right out? I am replacing the vinyl floor covering in my truck and it would be a bit...

    Rear Sag on One Side

    Its a single tank on the driver side. We threw a level at it parked on a level floor and its a bit over an inch without the driver. the front has a bit, maybe 1/4 inch.

    Rear Sag on One Side

    So my truck sat in a fence row for 20 years before I got it. Its an 81. The rear of the truck on the driver side has about an inch of sag to it. The front is pretty flat. I was thinking weak leaf spring initially, but figured I'd ask if anyone thought it might be the shackle bushings? If I...
