    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    I completely forgot to put the radiator cap back on after replacing the water pump, thermostat, heater core, and coolant hoses on my dad's square body once. He went for a 100 mile round trip drive and it overheated and dumped a bunch of the new coolant on the ground. Thankfully the thing didn't...

    New speakers

    Thanks guys! My speakers were original, and thankfully I grabbed the right ones. I think those 4x6 Sony speakers I got are well worth it and are all I need.

    New speakers

    I got around to replacing my speakers. I got new 4 x 6 speakers for both the front and rear. I replaced the front, but I'm not sure if the rear is the same size. Does anyone know what size the rear speakers are? Thanks

    350 swap?

    My main reasoning for the sniper is ease of installation. I hate dealing with woring and computers, so the sniper efi would be so much simpler than using a chevy computer and injection system.

    350 swap?

    I don't have a 4l60e, I have the getrag 290 5spd. I have plans to rebuild the transmission and engine, but I figured if I'm in there and have the money I might as well drop a v8 in. This would be probably a next summer project however. Thanks fo4 the info guys!

    350 swap?

    So my truck has the 4.3l efi engine. She's an 89 k1500. Would I be able to bolt in a 350 chevy and sniper efi without dealing with driveshafts needing made? I just want a little more hauling practicality out of the truck.

    '50 Chevy 3100

    I love baby moons. I was gonna put some on my '63 dodge dart, but I had to sell her since I'm moving

    NV3500 input bearing replacement

    I have 2 bottles of Lucas syncromesh for my transmission as I planned to change the fluid and never got around to it. I am pretty sure I have all the tools I would need.

    NV3500 input bearing replacement

    Never done it before. It's the bearing for the transmission input shaft, not the guide bearing. Yes I have a transmission jack. I have taken the transmissions out (and put back in) of a few of these trucks, I just haven't replaced that specific bearing before.

    NV3500 input bearing replacement

    As some of you already know my '89 k1500 has a noisy input shaft bearing, and I have to drive this truck from Oregon to Kentucky in about a month. I was very busy with helping my dad get the house ready to sell, but now we're done with that and I basically have nothing but time. I think it...

    Fuel tank strap issues

    Did you check for a nut on top? If someone else has pulled the strap down and stripped the threads they may have put a bolt with a nut in.

    Worst OBS mods

    A light gray gloss paint job. I hate the look.

    Changing to split bench from a '94

    That's a bit past my budget. What I have works now, but I will keep that in mind.

    New (used) transmission, leaking.

    I'm 90% sure that was my issue. There was no grommet. I snagged the one off the old transmission and that should work good enough for now.
