    Axle swap help

    Looking to offer some labor for axles, the guy states they are a set of 3:73 axles under his '74 K5. The front is a 10 bolt FT 4WD with a set of locking hubs and the rear is a 12 bolt. Will that bolt up fine to my 1984 k10? I have 3.08s under it right now and both are 10 bolts. I can weld new...

    NV4500 gear whine

    It doesn't shift great, can take a bit to find the gear. Doesn't struggle to get into gear however.

    NV4500 gear whine

    Yeah, I've heard these transmissions are pretty loud. I posted in a NV4500 page on FB and got conflicting responses there on if the sound warrantied a rebuild vs just a loud transmission. Does the video seem to portray my transmission as being roughly as loud as yours? I also have new sound...

    NV4500 gear whine

    Fluid was filled just prior to the video, I'm running Redline as I saw some people had success with it. U joints seem good, but I've never checked Ujoints for play before

    NV4500 gear whine

    Tons of whine from my NV4500, wondering if people think it’s the normal “loud” NV4500 or if it needs a repair. If it needs to be rebuilt any recommendations on kits? I’ve got the repair manual /a few YT videos doing tear downs. I’ve no idea how to share videos here so here’s a YT link w the noise:

    Keep Manual shift for the LS or swap in an auto?

    Sm465/NV4500 are pretty easy to bolt up and run. If you prefer auto swap a 6L80E. I'd avoid the 4L80E as they are well known to become 4 neutrals. Edit: TIL I’m wrong!

    NV4500 swap behind a 5.3 LS

    I have 3.08s, I’m changing them to 3.73/4.10 when I get more funds. Have yet to decide if I want to keep the 31”s.

    NV4500 swap behind a 5.3 LS

    @Ricko1966 I used this https://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIL-340-13834. I like the setup, but would change where I drilled the holes if I could go back. It’s slightly higher than I’d like atm.

    NV4500 swap behind a 5.3 LS

    @iamtherealJayy you need the AA adapter to put the slave on the other side of the trans. Wilwood pedals are ~$100, I couldn’t even find hydraulic pedals when I did my swap. It was pretty easy to install the aftermarket stuff just use the stock for a reference. With 28” tires it’s probably...

    NV4500 swap behind a 5.3 LS

    Just did this swap, I had a 94 NV4500 mated to an LS. I went AA adapter and hydraulic setup. I used a Generic Wilwood pedal and master. I did not love the placement, but its usable. I'd prefer to have it down 2" and slightly towards the engine a bit more. I should have the photos in one of my...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    Next on the to do list will be to reseal the differentials. The rear is leaking from the front and the front appears “wet” but not actively seeping yet. Posted a few photos of how it’s sitting in the engine bay now, and how it was on the stand. For anyone doing a NV4500 swap on a K10 I found...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    Currently also restoring my dash, worst case I ruin it and have to buy a new one. I think if I take my time, use foam/epoxy and bondo it’ll come out okay. If it works out okay I'll start on my door cards. Have yet to decide what color I want to run with. Trucks white for now, carpets black...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    The LS itself is running great, had a single broken wire with the PSI harness to the 4th Coil but I diagnosed it and spliced in a new wire. Need to go back and trace the broke wire and properly fix it at some point but that’s a bit lower on the totem poll atm. Drove the truck for about a week...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    Shop I used for the Mt swap ended up messing up the install and is forking over time/labor to fix it. I actually really vibe with the owner of the shop and he comes out personally to fix the work after hours. I don’t mind the wait as it’s not my daily and he always ends up teaching me stuff...

    NV4500 Vibration in neutral - and with clutch fully disengaged

    Swapped in a 94 NV4500 into my 84k10 and mated it to a 05 Gen 5.3L LS. I used the 1050 Flywheel, and a 94 clutch kit. Went with AA bellhousing and hydraulic slave. In neutral and with the clutch fully disengaged I'm getting serious vibrations. I've been wondering if I've gotten the wrong clutch...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    Even if I'm mostly highway? I guess the LS needs to rev more than the SBC but I figured 3.7s would be fine. Do you run 4.10?

    Truck died under load

    My truck died while driving yesterday to pick up some furniture. Died on a non bumpy road going like 40. Pulled over and popped the hood. On a whim I jumped the terminals on the firewall, because i know they get constant 12V and that worked prior when my alt crapped the bed, it started back up...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    For the NV4500 I’m running a 05’ 6.0LS flywheel and a 94’ clutch, throw out, and slave. I have a wilwood pedal installed and was going to adapt that to the slave somehow. The pedal placement is current 6/10 due to the trailer brake module being in the way and the stock brake pedal being Uber...

    LS/NV4500 swap

    Installing a 2005 5.3L and 94’ NV4500 into my K10. Bought a good long block for $100, a rusty locked up 99 with everything to swap over for $400. Sold the rusty block for $350 and the spare heads for $150. $500 NV4500 from a 94’ part out. Sold the bell housing for $350. Into the swap for...

    Dakota Digital Install issues

    Just to update, I had to wire in an additional ground to a few sensors. They must not have been grounded properly. Got everything to work properly by adding a ground wire on oil/fuel to the general ground. Oil PSI is either 20/40 at idle which is obviously wrong but does go up according to RPMs...

    Dakota Digital Install issues

    Posting here hoping someone can give me a bit of advice. Here's the rundown: 1984 k10 with 305V8, 700R4 and NP208. Dakota digital install went decent, I have coolant and voltage (reads 15-16 running which seems high but can come down to 12-13). Fuel didnt read anything initially, figured out I...

    MT swap on 1984 K10

    I saw in another thread you recommended the AA bell housing to clear the DS. Is that the only way to get an early model NV4500 to fit a K10? It isn’t possible to shave the slave housing a bit?
