    What have you done to your square lately??

    285 x 75.Like a narrow 33” tire.No,I didn’t transfer anything from one pump to the other,other than the pulley.Crank pulley diameter is the same,only difference being material.My last pickup was a dedicated offroad truck and I had good success with PSC.However,that build had x-o...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Pulleys are standard small block Chevy,first gen.Aluminum.Summit brand.The power steering pump Has the original steel pulley that was on the original 1984 350’s power steering pump. I’ve never inspected the pump itself,or took it apart.Like most remans I figured it’s POS.I do value your insight...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It has never been the most powerful compared to other squarebody trucks I’ve owned.Mighg as well. I know you have quite the squarebody knowledge.What do you say to those upper spacers?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have a new starter,alternator,blower fan and power steering pump headed my way.I got roughly 8 years out of all those components,except the hvac fan (original).The rest was remans from oreilly’s! I installed when I put in crate engine.Not bad.They’ll all be returned for spares (lifetime...

    Front driveline too short after lift kit.

    For a stock truck,that doesn’t see heavy suspension movements,an inch either way is good.So you have an inch to extend and collapse.In other words 3 to 4 inch’s total movement and ideally, sitting in the middle of that at ride height. The front on squarebody 4x4s extend,while the rear...

    Front driveline too short after lift kit.

    JE REEL has done 4 driveshafts for me.So them featured in Peterson’s 4wheel & offroad years ago.They make heavy duty shafts.Your gonna pay for it…might I suggest that if you do get a new shaft you upgrade your front pinion yoke to a 1350 series. Or just find a local shop to re-tube it.Might as...

    Omg dude - get real!

    I don’t care too much about paint,limited rust.If it’s got the right drivetrain. I wouldn’t dare buy that truck for that price.I wouldnt pay 5k for it.Just wait for another to come around.If I see something in someone’s backyard, and it looks worthy,I’ll ask if they’ve considered selling. All...

    Kingpin Dana 60 hub questions

    Those may not be the stock hubs.Is your lug pattern still 8x6.5?I did run some 35 spline lock outs that was loose as you described.They worked fine.I know it looks a bit odd,but you can use duck tape around the gap as I did.Keeps the crud out. Or as mentioned,take them to a machine shop.

    Best oil? Type, brand, viscosity, additives, etc.

    After my own bit of research,I use Valvoline conventional.I don’t use synthetic.As far as additives,people swear by Lucas. I had a very expensive gm crate engine and ran synthetic,after first 2 oil changes.Eventually my front main started to leak.(less than 5k miles) Different crate engine...

    Writings on the wall, I think

    I’m assuming since you’re saying flywheel,it’s a standard trans?GM has a different starter for manual and autos.

    Rough Country 4” with 35’s

    Nice ride!Get away from those auto locking hubs,if the truck sees even a mild trail.I think those things break if you look at them the wrong way.

    Which wiring harness

    I used a American Auto Wire kit several years ago on a 1980 k-10.It was a decent kit,however it was a generic GM kit that fit a wide variety of models.There was definitely some areas that I had to make up my own set up,like the headlight harness,windshield wipers. It wasn’t advertised as a...

    Timing issue

    Edelbrock has directions exactly how to turn the carb.However,I agree the float could be hanging up or not properly adjusted.So,if that’s the case,any idle adjustments or mixture would be short lived. Fuel pressure is a issue as well,those carbs run best at about 5 psi. Until you have the carb...

    I wanna swap guts on my 14 bolts. Advice needed

    Oh hell,you swapped in a 4500.For some reason I was a bit dyslexic yesterday morning. Obviously the no spin is not gonna match the street manners like a open differential.I’ve heard that older Detroit lockers was pretty rough,not sure.The one I have now seems a bit harsher than the last...

    I wanna swap guts on my 14 bolts. Advice needed

    Yes,you are correct.The process is just the opposite.Assuming you have the spider gears,thrust washers.Just mark the spanner nuts with how many turns to take carrier out,put back the same.I’d personally check backlash anyway before putting cover on. How long has this 14 bolt with the locker...

    Best Choice for Drivetrain

    Had a 700R4 once.It treated me right,but I never towed with it.I don’t like even wondering if my tranny is gonna make it or not.I’d rather just be thinking about the lake and all the milfs in swimwear. A 700R4 sounds like a quiet ride home in your buddy’s truck with a TH400.
