    Ha!! Ya know, my day is never truly over until auto correct gets me at least once!

    Unknown Relay clicking

    That looks like your conscience center. The round relay is your hazard relay. There two; the blinker relay is on the fuse box. I’d say that black relay is probably a horn relay. (yes I shamelessly stole this diagram)

    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    I don’t know what these circuits are each drawing but if it is less than 30amps, I would recommend this Amazon special. I installed it 6 months ago and no issues. 5 hot circuits, and 6 switched circuits. Connect a hot to the battery and a hot to a switched ignition relay from the fuse box. Power...

    4:10 gears for 86 k10

    Revolution looks like quality stuff, but they don’t offer anything under 1988’ or less than a 4:10. Any other companies you would suggest for an 85’ K10??

    LED exterior light conversion! not going well :(

    The reason the dash blinker indicators glow with the headlights is also because of the LED bulbs. The 1157s are basically two independent circuits; one for marker and one for blinker. The LEDs are not two circuits. They are one circuit with a high (blinker) and a low (marker) so when you turn on...

    Tv cable

    To answer the very first question in this post; Press the detention button on the side of the TV Cable mount near the carburetor. Hook up the cable to the carb and open the throttle to full (engine off of course). This will extend the TV cable to the proper length. FYI, this is only meant to...

    Keyless entry upgrade

    I added this little guy two years ago. Wiring wasn’t a major pain and it is still working just fine. Since it triggers the locks by bypassing the switch, it actually is much stronger than using the door switch which in my truck barely has enough power to raise and lower both locks...

    LED conversion

    I use these too. They work, but if you have marker lights on the blinker flash is so dim, it is barely discernible. They work great with no marker lights on.

    Precision windshield gasket, self locking or lock strip?

    FYI, I paid a guy to put mine in, but I bought the windshield seal with the chrome insert from LMC ahead of time so he would have all the parts. The LMC insert cracked and fell apart when he was putting it in, so I had to revert to the black insert. Hope this saves you a Few bucks and some time...

    Help! My coolant temp heats up fast in idle or slow-moving traffic (around 210F+) then decreases when I start driving (around 170F-190)

    If the fan keeps spinning after you shut off the truck, then (as stated above) bad clutch.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/high-pressure-fuel-pump-install.45560/ righteous project I drive. Check out this thread I started. I recently switched over to in tank electric pumps. I think I solved a lot of the questions you have, but maybe not all of them. FYI, the inline pump after...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Thanks for the reply. Interesting solution. I didn’t think of powering the pumps through the switch from the sniper. I had it in my mind that some how I was going to have to use a relay so that I wasn’t pulling power through the stick wiring. The 12-308 says they need a minimum 12guage wire...

    Cowl Piece

    That is an access door to unbolt the wiper motor from the wiper arm linkage to replace the motor. I believe they originally came with rubber grommets that covered the whole. I couldn’t find one and ended up making a new door out out a piece of sheet metal and sealed it with silicone Do...

    Yes, they will ship full panels via FedEx. The largest thing I bought from them was a full radiator support.

    1982 C30, idea for active triple tanks, not just a transfer tank.

    This should. Curious to know it turns out!

    dumfounded

    You absolutely need to take some strain off the factory wiring. In my opinion, it was under engineered from the factory. You HAVE TO use some relays. Amazon will sell you 10 relays for like $30. Fans, fuel, water pumps should all be wired direct to a battery (with a fuse) activated by a relay...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    I think I maybe going to this set up sooner than I thought. I don’t think the inline can pull the fuel. Question, when you wired the in tank pumps, how did you switch power between the two pumps? Did you use a relay and if so, what did you use to trigger it?? I will need to power them from...

    A new comer with a problem

    The LMC panels are good replacements. On my 85 short bed, I did the floor, kick panel, rockers, cab corners and a bed side patch behind the tires. No issues, they also have some updated parts for behind the tires to mitigate mud and rot that worked well. They will drop ship a whole bed side to you.

    More Washer Pump Questions

    Your problem is probably the multi pin relay that the switch connects to at the bottom of the steering column. Find the pink wire going to towards the fire wall. This is the ground wire. Tap it with a press on connector and run a second wire out of the in-line tap. Touch your new wire to any...

    K10 fuel line for Holley sniper truck has dual tanks but I’m buying the hokey tank with the efi fuel pump it I’m needing a line kit for just one tank

    Is anyone going to comment on probably the cleanest frame I have ever seen on a Square? If that isn’t a replacement frame, then my hat is off to you. The original lines were run on the inside of the passenger side rake rail. Nothing can get to them in there, especially not a wrench

    washer pump not working

    Here is your module (below), which is likely your problem. The actual wiper switch is the first thing put into the steering column and the last thing to come out. You have to disassemble the entire column. If you end up trying it, I’d recommend you remove the column from the truck and do it...

    Sagging doors: where to start?

    Open the door, grab the bottom corner and see if it moves up and down. Keep an eye on the hinge pins when you shake it. That is where you want to start. You can replace the hinges one at a time. Open the door, put a jack stand under the corner and take the hinge all the way off the truck one...

    One more electrical plug identification

    Green is definetly Water temp. The three prong goes to the oil pressure sending unit behind the distributor, but the sending unit only has two prongs from it, the two vertices. The sensor does not use horizontal female on the plug.
