    HVAC control head swap, "Max A/C" Style - Wiring Diagram Needed.

    Did you ever get this solved? Our 1990 head unit is flaking out on us again and I can get 1994 units all day long for cheap. The 5 button version is rare and harder to find for replacement.

    early 4l80e to 6.0?

    We're running a 1992 4L80e from a 454 suburban on my son's 1990 K1500 with a 5.3 ls swap. Nelson performance did the tune and built the harness. Works fine.

    Door Panels

    How does the dome light switch on the door work out? How about the door handle and mechanism?

    Hesitation at Low Loads

    The sensor is new as of 2 years ago. It wouldn't pass emissions previously as the sensor connector was burnt.

    Hesitation at Low Loads

    Thanks. Straight forward, just like any other TPS I've ever messed with. Any other suggestions on what could cause the issue?

    Hesitation at Low Loads

    I did test the EGR with a vacuum source in addition to following compressed air tests from that site as well. It did hold vacuum, and it did open when vacuum was applied.

    Can you point me to the TPS test procedure for a TBI truck?

    Hesitation at Low Loads

    All, My son's truck (1990 Silverado RCSB 4x4 5.7L, stock motor) runs great with one exception. When climbing hills at part throttle (maybe 25% throttle) it will sometimes buck or hesitate for a moment, then clear up and run fine. It used to do it rarely but now it's doing it every time he...

    Bed Rail/Tailgate Covers - Brands/Opinions?

    We put the wade version on my son's truck. Fit was nice and look great with his retrax bed cover. My only complaint is that they did not come with enough 3m tape to really secure them to the truck. Since the bed cover traps them, we haven't fixed that issue yet...

    Going to be running RCX 4 inch. Are shocks worth it?

    We've got the the RCX shocks on my son's truck and they are alright. It rides pretty nice with them. We do have tall tires and smaller rims so the tires help our ride. (33's with 15 inch rims)

    door handles

    I agree. Used aftermarket handles on my son's truck and they were plastic, not metal. The lock cylinder broke on the drivers side and fell into the door. We ended up repainting the OEM handles, installing new springs and gaskets and put it all back together. Pain in the butt for sure.

    Steering Gear Replacement

    We replaced our steering shaft with the Borgeson unit. Expensive but the truck now feels better than new. We also replaced the steering gearbox with an AGR unit.

    Lift or stock?

    All the worn out stuff will still need to be replaced even with a lift kit. The shocks are the only thing you get extra in most bolt on 4-6 inch lift kits. All bushing, ball joints, steering items etc. will still need replacing.

    Rough Country 4"/6" kit install tips.

    We used these on my sons truck. They were easy to install and worked great.

    NP241C Mounting

    I've got it installed right, just looked under a similar truck here at work. It's surprising that the entire transfer case is cantilevered off of 6 3/8" bolts going into an Aluminum housing. Must work fine.

    NP241C Mounting

    Thanks. It was late last night... The only mounting points I have used to support the transfer case are the 6 bolts that connect the input of the transfer case to the output of my 700R4 transmission. Is there any additional support braces? My 2500 HD truck has additional support struts so it...

    NP241C Mounting

    All, Installing a transfer case into my son's 1990 K1500 RCSB truck. Wasn't in the truck when we got it. Got it mounted up to the output flange of the 700R4 tranny with a gasket. I have a skid plate that goes under the transfer case. Does the transfer case just mount to the tranny mount...

    Refurbishing the front suspension.

    If you have the original ball joints in the upper and lower, they are riveted in place. To quote another member on here, the lower rivets were designed and installed by Satan.

    steering gearbox upgrade.

    No deposit. Sending me a two shipping label too. Pretty solid customer service if everything works like they promised. Mistakes happen.

    steering gearbox upgrade.

    Well, it appears that Red-Head sent me the wrong gearbox. The unit they sent me has a 3 groove spline and mine had a 4 groove spline. I'll call them today and hopefully they can ship me out a replacement and I can send their's back. Update : Redhead is sending me the correct unit and a return...

    steering gearbox upgrade.

    Time will tell for me on my son's 1990 truck. We will be running 33x12.50-15 offroad tires. On my 2005 Duramax I'm running 34" offroad tires and the Redhead box has been outstanding.
