    Champion radiator difficulties

    The original radiator on my 85 Suburban K10 w/350 was shot so I bought a Primecooling 4 row that came with an aluminum shroud and 2 electric fans. Had to trim the passenger side top bracket and install some rubber spacer pads on the top brackets. Also installed some rubber sealing strips on...

    Where to buy seal

    Well I just learned, sadly, that Lester's Gear in Tulsa closed up a month ago, after over 60 years in business. I remember going there with my Grandpa to buy some jeep transmission parts around 1969....they had just what we needed. They have a related company called Axles Transmissions and...

    Where to buy seal

    Did you find the seal? If not there's a small shop in Tulsa called Lester's Gear and the guy working the counter knows his stuff. I don't know if they ship parts but it might be worth a call 918-834-36O1 he could probably give you a good part number. I got my 700R4 and NP208 rebuild parts...

    Oil leak

    Craftsman tools have a lifetime warranty so if you've got a cracked socket or ratchet that doesn't work you can take it to Ace Hardware or anyplace that sells Craftsman and they'll exchange it.

    Small block 350 lifter tick?

    I rebuilt my Camaro 350 about forty years ago and within days I noticed a ticking while idling. Ticking stopped with higher rpm. I just knew it was a lifter. It was my daily driver and needed for work and it was snowing so I threw a tarp over the raised hood and ran a drop light to it...

    Head scratcher for you

    I'm wondering how you discovered the wrong bulb was installed. Seems like some thorough troubleshooting to find something like that

    What is this wire for?

    Yes that's how I read it too. The dark green 12DG wire from the horn relay then goes through the firewall connector to the horn. It would be better if I had included more of the wiring diagram. The black wire from the horn relay goes to the DIR SIG SW labelled as 28. I'm not sure if...

    What is this wire / connector

    The attached may help clarify. It's from my wiring manual for my 85 K10 suburban with 700R4. My truck wiring does not have this connector. NOt sure why your truck does unless like you mentioned they used a common harness.

    What is this wire for?

    I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I've read a lot of other posts that have helped me out a lot with my 85 suburban K10 resto-mod so maybe I can try to pay it back, assuming any of this is correct. I looked at the wiring diagrams and it looks like the cut off wire is or should be...
