1988 GMC C1500 - Z06 Package!
That sucks, but I guess that was why it was so cheap. Any blind hole really. Someone here broke one of the bosses that holds the spider down doing it.- 0xDEADBEEF

Gas Mileage
Your basically saying because of broken or worn parts lambda was much less than 1. Ok, that's not surprising. TBI is an old design that isn't as good as current designs, no doubt, but at a steady state rolling down the road it's not going be 5 mpg off.- 0xDEADBEEF

Gas Mileage
Great post! It takes a X amount of power to go a given speed. You might be able to squeeze out a little efficiency here and there, but does anyone believe GM would leave 5 mpg on the table when they could just run a different air filter or put a different spring in something? It's ridiculous.- 0xDEADBEEF

My first V8 project for street strip use.
It's probably ok on race gas. Run colder plugs and all the other tricks. What PCM are you running? There are some free tools out there that you could use like PCM Hammer.- 0xDEADBEEF

I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?
I don't know if this counts as maintenance, but I melted a set of jumper cables once. The jumper and the jumpee had opposite battery terminals and I wasn't paying attention. It went quick too.- 0xDEADBEEF

What is your fueling and timing system? 100 shot should be fairly safe with added fuel and retarded timing.- 0xDEADBEEF

Manual transmission swap
American Powertrain sells TKX and T56 swap kits for these trucks. Convenient but pricey though.- 0xDEADBEEF

3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra
I've been through this myself about 87 times. On the Tahoe what finally made the brake pedal firm was about 3 panic stops form 35ish MPH. On the project truck, we just bled and bled and bled. It was finally ok after weeks of that until the axle swap and then back to square one again. I don't...- 0xDEADBEEF

So we crawled under there and got some measurements. The Engine and trans are pointing down 8 degrees. The driveshaft is pointing down 2 degrees. The pinion is pointing up 8 degrees. This gives operating angles on the u-joints of 10 and 6 degrees which is way too much and unequal obviously...- 0xDEADBEEF

For real. You'd have to be really desperate for washer fluid to use that stuff. LOL.- 0xDEADBEEF
