    Fuel Gauge Tank Selector switch and valve

    I jumped the two tank wires over to the pink one at a time and the gauge read full (both tanks are full) So the sending units have ground and are working. I’m going to put a new switch and tank valve in and hopefully that fixes the problem.

    Fuel Gauge Tank Selector switch and valve

    Thanks. Yea I meant all pink. The fuel gauge is at 9:00 all the time with either tank selected. I feel like the sending wires in the tank valve are not connecting to the pink wire. Can you pull the plug and jump a green wire from tank sending unit to the pink wire running up to the dash to see?

    Fuel Gauge Tank Selector switch and valve

    1984 K10 - two new tanks. Two new fuel sending units. One is an ac delco the other is from LMC. Ground from battery to frame and then to sending unit is good. Fuel gauge is stuck at 9:00. Fuel selector valve moves between the two tanks but doesn’t run correct on the passenger side as it will...

    2.5" or 4" Lift 1986 K10

    Update: front springs ended up settling a bit without removing a leaf - and now I would say this is dead level - 40" to fender well front and back.

    Steering Gear

    Looking at the Borgeson quick turn steering gear for my k10. $500 is pricey but not concerned. What about redhead and new brands available on rock auto? Also doing new pump and will inspect frame for cracks and address if need be.

    2.5" or 4" Lift 1986 K10

    Redfish your post inspired me. I went from a rough riding 4” superlift to your setup. I didn’t want to mess with the front springs so I went with 2.5” rear blocks. Now I need to get a new steering gear and power steering pump - probably a Borgeson shaft without rag joint….

    What is the best place to buy spray paint for factory rally wheels for 1986 K10? I have sandblasted and primed wheels - ready to finish them.

    2.5" or 4" Lift 1986 K10

    Truck will just be a around town driver. Not much for off-roading. Tuff Country 2” back ordered for a month - same for Skyjacker. Thinking about buying in stock components from Summit racing and go 2.5” superlift. I assume most people stay clear of rough country if they want a decent ride?

    2.5" or 4" Lift 1986 K10

    Thanks for answers so far. Anyone have a view of keeping the 4” and going up to 35” tires? I may have 10” wide ralleys that is keeping my tires from filling out the wheel well area?
