    opinions on my LS swap setup

    Check and see if it isn’t the old brake line swollen shut from the inside swelling. My front one did and it did weird things. Didn’t let any fluid to it, but before seemed like it would allow fluid in with brake pedal down but then kept pressure in there and didn’t release back when letting off.

    Vintage Air - Compressor Not Turning On

    Vintage air system. Driving and cold air quit, then later came back and now won’t come back on. Hooked gauges up 100 low side and 120 on high, 90 degrees outside. But since compressor won’t come on and it was at idle I expected to not see true pressures. Checked the blue wire coming from the...

    Year ID - Headlight Bezel

    Ordered 83 ones and they fit. Even though the grill I ordered and looks like what it replaced was an 82. Appreciate the help!

    Year ID - Headlight Bezel

    Looking at LMC’s diagrams it does like like it’s an 83 grill with single headlights.

    Year ID - Headlight Bezel

    I have a 1982 K10 Ordered a new premium grill from LMC (happy with the fit and quality). Also ordered headlight bezels. I think I need another year or model. On the left is the existing and held up to the right is the one I received. Can anyone tell if I need to order a different year model...

    VINTAGE AIR QUESTION

    I would just call them and ask. I got a sure fit kit but it has a big block instead of the 305. They swapped out the compressor brackets. LS is a common enough swap they will have it worked out.

    Jack for Spare 35’s

    My thoughts so far. The front and rear axles seem to be the best place to jack from in order to not need a really high jack or tons of stacked blocks. With that, I don’t know why but the scissor jacks make me nervous. As well as a small footprint base and jacking point of most bottle jacks...

    Jack for Spare 35’s

    Any ideas of a good jack to keep behind the seat for a full size 35” spare on a K10? Have large floor jack at home for most work, but something to keep in the truck to swap a flat tire. I think I’ve used the stock jack out of my 16 F350. Contemplating finding one and just using it, unless...

    Need help with installing a 454 in a 1979 GMC Sierra 4x4 frame

    Have you figured out what headers you want to run also? I’ve got a 454 that was swapped out for a 305, but was already done with mounts and headers.

    How should I solve this starter problem

    I wish I was young enough to use the creeper as a phone holder and not a creeper! I swear crawling around under the truck for awhile, makes me feel it in the morning.

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    The carrier bearing would only be on a 2 piece driveshaft right? The truck has a 1 piece.

    Odometer

    82 K10 - Speedometer started bouncing and odometer quit turning. I pulled it out and lubed it up. Swapped in a LMC new cable, and with both no change. I believe it was routed wrong, it looped under the passenger side under the transfer case. I re routed the original over the transfer case and...

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    Oddly enough, it’s mostly gone away. I had someone ride in the bed to see if the sound was coming from the front or rear. With the 4:10 gears and our driveway, I don’t ever think I brake much in reverse. It’s possible it self adjusted. I’ll see if it resurfaces or when I get a chance I’ll...

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    It’s a lower groan or grind, and usually just at the end of a stop, like at a stop sign. Almost like when there is more weight transfer. It doesn’t go or change with speed or acceleration.

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    Put the rear up and could tell anything obvious with sound. And drive around and no noise. Will wait for it to pop up again.

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    I haven’t done the rears yet. I’ll put the rears on jack stand tonight and see if it pin points it to there. It sounds plausible.

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    Have put on miles since doing the front rotors and pads and didn’t have the noise for awhile.

    Grinding Noise While Braking

    This could go in the braking or driveline section, but not sure so putting it here. 82 K10 - Grinding or growling noise when stopping but mostly when almost to a complete stop and not while moving faster. 2 of us think it sounds like the front, 1 says the back. Have recently replaced front...

    82 K10 Heater Doors and Vacuum Lines

    I got everything hooked back up and tested all the doors before I put the heater box back in. Got a check valve coming from Amazon, so should be good after that.

    82 K10 Heater Doors and Vacuum Lines

    Does anyone know if I need a check valve between the vaccum ball and the line I tie into the intake manifold?

    82 K10 Heater Doors and Vacuum Lines

    75GM - Found the vaccum ball and going to run some new lines and patches to hook it back up. Juggernaut - That’s exactly the line and where it goes. I was expecting it to plug into somewhere and don’t know how I missed that part of the line when looking it over before.

    82 K10 Heater Doors and Vacuum Lines

    We pulled the vacuum ball from under the hood awhile back. It didn’t have any lines hooked to it at the time. I’ll dig it out of the garage and get it hooked up. Thanks for the help everyone.

    82 K10 Heater Doors and Vacuum Lines

    82 K10 - 454 swapped block, ac not hooked up. Edlebrock intake Heater core was leaking so was swapping in a new summit copper core. Went to check door operation before putting the heater box up. Looks like there is no vaccum feed into the engine bay. Defrost or the other vaccum door don’t...

    CJ Pony Seat Belts

    I ordered and just received a set of CJ Pony 3 point seat belts for a bench seat. 82 K10. Do the retractors mount straight to the floor or do I need a bracket? Anyone done an install recently?
