1988 brake booster, Non HD brakes
I'm in the same boat, my 88 K1500 has a smaller Booster than my 89 C1500. My 88 is leaking and I'm going to replace it, but not sure about the compatibility. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk- FL-Bowtie

Cracked lower control arm mount
I'm thinking I'll grind a grove, weld it up, then either fish-plate it or add some reinforcement gussets or maybe both. Will have to check header/starter clearances first. I'd love to cut it out and replace it, but unfortunately, that just ain't in the cards for this guy.- FL-Bowtie

Cracked lower control arm mount
While motor/trans out, I decided a little cleaning was in order. What I found was a cracked lower control arm mount on the passenger rear mount: Anyone ever find this before? If so did you gusset or reinforce somehow or just grind and weld it? I'm thinking a gusset or something is in...- FL-Bowtie

p0300, p0304, torque converter not locking sometimes, replaced many items, any ideas?
Could be torque converter lockup selenoid. Its basically an electric valve in the transmission that controls the lockup. A good trans shop can check, the part is cheap but the daignostic not so much. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk- FL-Bowtie

Throttle body removal
Its a TV (throttle valve) cable for the transmission, make sure you have it set right when you reinstall it or you will smoke the tranny. Sent from my SM-T217S using Tapatalk- FL-Bowtie

89 C1500 Corporate 10 bolt, weld or braze?
Thats my thought, drop the bracket, drain the fluid, pull the axle and flush the inside of the tube. Then wire brush or grind the outside clean and dry. MIG away. Maybe a small patch plate over the welded repair....- FL-Bowtie

89 C1500 Corporate 10 bolt, weld or braze?
Heres a pic, I think the leak is under the u-bolt bracket on the bottom. There were rusty depressions in the hollow area under the bracket when I did the new springs a few months ago. Wasn't leaking then....- FL-Bowtie

89 C1500 Corporate 10 bolt, weld or braze?
just discovered a leaking axle tube, appears rust has penetrated the left axle tube under the u-bolt plate. the tube is solid where the plate makes contact but concave between the contact points. replacing the whole axle is not an option right now, and the axles, bearings, eaton brute...- FL-Bowtie
