    Wheel almost fell off while driving…help

    Thanks so much everyone for your information! This forum is always super helpful and I really appreciate how quickly you all respond :) I am hoping that the lugs just backed out/were wrong/ there was an underlying issue because it’s pretty scary to imagine someone randomly being malicious and...

    Wheel almost fell off while driving…help

    Hi all, hoping to get some input on a weird situation that happened this week. Husband was driving our truck home on Thursday and the wheel almost fell off after he crossed some rail tracks (set into ground, just a small bump). He got out and picked up the lug nuts and thankfully made it home...

    Does it matter where this spring connects?

    Hi! We previously had issues with our transmission and got it rebuilt a few months ago. So we are pretty nervous about messing it up! Does it matter where this spring connects? The carb was cleaned over the weekend and when we picked it up the spring was connected at the bottom of the metal...

    Name brand or budget carb?

    Hello! Looking for some input - we need a new carb in our 84 k10 and the guy who is going to install it gave us the option of getting a name brand edelbrock or going with a budget / generic option. It looks like the difference is only 100-200$ (cost isnt a problem). we want something reliable...

    Electrical Mystery for 700R4?

    Hi! We just got our 84 k10 metal baby back from the transmission shop. The 700R4 transmission was rebuilt after the 3-4 clutches went out. They also installed a transgo shift kit and replaced the rear planet, pump slide, new plates and input drum. It has a 24 month / 24k miles warranty now :)...

    1984 k10 700r4 won't shift out of 2nd please help!

    Ah thank you! I’m still learning lol :) a whole new world for me. I was scribbling notes as the guy was explaining what he found. I don’t really understand the corvette servo… what does it do & why install it? I’ll have to take some time to look it up. I also hope to be able to ask some...

    1984 k10 700r4 won't shift out of 2nd please help!

    It’s at the trans shop right now :) the diagnoses was that the 3/4 pack was burnt, rear planet had too much wobble,input drum needed to be replaced, and it looks like at some point someone had partially installed a corvette servo. So that is getting taken out and replaced with a transgo shift...

    Thank you SO much for the tip! I will check it out. I don’t have a Facebook but will make one just for this… I’m really at a loss for what to do right now other than call around the auto shops. So I will definitely reach out to the group. Thanks again I really appreciate it!

    Florence area! We had to drive over to Eugene to get the valve replaced at Advance transmission. There isn’t really anyone over here that does the internal trans work that we know of

    That makes sense! I’m not sure why it doesn’t show us position on the shift window. It came like that when we bought it

    Thanks for this information! It won’t go into 3rd anymore. We are now stuck at 2nd gear. The rpms increase and you can hear the engine rev like it wants to but nothing happens

    Thank you for this information! What would cause this to happen? It seems like it got worse after it came back from the trans shop with a new valve. What you outlined is way outside my scope of abilities so it sounds like I will be calling the local auto shop… :)

    Thanks for your quick reply! I am really not sure if the carb is aftermarket or oem. We bought the truck off my husband's buddy and he didn't have much info on it other than at some point the engine and transmission had maybe been replaced? Here are some photos of the throttle cable bracket...

    Hi! We recently bought a 1984 chevy k10 with a 700R4 transmission. it sat for about 14 months before we bought it, so we are chipping away at getting work done on it. It has been our daily driver truck but now is having a shifting problem that we can't figure out! This forum has a lot of great...
