    Thermostatic valves for the TBI Intake

    Alright so an update. Using a laser thermometer I was able to read a base number of 140F and after a minute of 1500rpm a max of say 270F. The engineer at the company directed me to another source based out of Tennessee who sells actuators that look exactly like the original in the air duct. I...

    Thermostatic valves for the TBI Intake

    Forgive me for being a bit remiss here, but forums aren't typically instant message chat sessions where people state random thoughts like... grass is green, water is wet, and the sky is blue. BTW, that works well for air temperatures?

    Thermostatic valves for the TBI Intake

    No wonder the post counts of everyone is so high. Holy hell. But, I'll check the manual. Might as well.

    I’m out of ideas now. Random misfire, hard start.

    Forum has no mods eh?

    Thermostatic valves for the TBI Intake

    So, it's been a day and a half and this topic got wayyy off the rails. Three pages? LOL This forum boggles my mind. Anywho, the idea is to return the stock functionality of the intake flap using a new thermostatic valve. Terminology aside, the point is the old ones are either barely...

    Thermostatic valves for the TBI Intake

    I have contacted a company that makes thermostatic valves to spec, but the limit of the temperatures their valves can work to is 300F. What I'm curious about is how hot the actual intake gets from the heater hose at the exhaust manifold up to the intake? Anyone ever take a measurement? I figure...

    Travel Trailer help

    I'll definitely check out the RV website. I also am looking at correcting the Chevy lean she has with a set of 4+1 leaf springs, possible RAS too.

    Travel Trailer help

    I agree with you. I have no intention of pulling a 7,000-pound trailer around. I was just trying to find something semi-close to what we want, preferably around the 4-5k mark. Hence why I was also looking for the actual numbers for the way my truck is outfitted. But, as you have mentioned...

    Yes, I have that sticker in the door as well. I even have the owners manual, but that's useless. Doesn't specify anything. The GM Heritage Vehicle information kit shows payload (E63) as: GVWR is of course 6200 per the sticker. Max trailer weight shows 7000/850 bumper pull (properly...

    Travel Trailer help

    Yeah, I took a picture of the RPO codes from when I first got the truck and here's the door sticker as well. I figured I was farting in the wind with the larger campers and this truck. I had a 2019 LD but sold it because of our mortgage underwriter, and went backwards because of the...

    Travel Trailer help

    I have a 1994 Z71 Silverado. Yes, I know it's old. It has the 5.7, Z82 package (class 4 hitch, trans and engine cooler), and 3.42 gears for some dumb reason. My wife wants a camper and I do too, but trying to be realistic with our wants and needs here, I set out to try and find what this truck...

    1994 K1500 Trans Cooler Lines Leaking

    Not just yet. Being Christmas time I decided to just drive it for now. I still need to crawl under the truck and fix the line leak. I did manage to get a snap-on crows foot to try and tighten it. But, it still needs to see a shop for diagnosis. I can ssume they will need to pull and fix it. Good...

    1994 K1500 Trans Cooler Lines Leaking

    If it's overfull it's maybe a half quart. I'll have to take it in. My brother said just drop the trans. I may be quite capable, but it's in a gravel driveway and it's fall. Means rain here and snow eventually. To a shop it goes.

    1994 K1500 Trans Cooler Lines Leaking

    Well... to add to the trouble I now have a 2-3 shift flare when hot. Never did this before. Okay I have to backup some. My lines leaked like a sieve. Bought the truck about a month ago. Had 107,800 on the clock and of course it leaks everywhere. Rear main (engine oil), between the T-case and...
