    Tires dragging when turning at full lock

    Hey all, I have a steering problem with my 1997 K3500 CCLB w/ ProComp 6” lift. When turning left or right at full lock, the inside tire seems to over-turn and starts sliding on the outside edge instead of rotating normally, and starts hopping. Also they want to stay turned and it takes quite a...

    1997 K3500 CCLB 6.5L/4L80E “The Yeti”

    After thinking I could never part with my 1990 K2500, I found this beast. It was in Salt Lake on the local classifieds website 2 days ago. I immediately text the owner and asked everything I could think of. He wasn’t intending on selling it, but his wife was tired of him working on old trucks...

    Restricting IAC passages

    I have a big block throttle body and bored out intake manifold I want to run on a 383. I tried running the big block throttle body on my Edelbrock intake with stock throttle bores as an experiment, and I had to back the screw all the way out to get it to even try to open the IAC when controlling...

    Another burned up ICM...

    It’s pretty proven that heat is what will kill an ICM. I put in an aluminum replacement distributor when the pickup coil failed a few years ago, and now I’m sitting on the side of the road after the second one has failed in the last 14 months (This is my first guess as to why it quit and won’t...

    Bypassing power steering cooler?

    I am replacing the high pressure PS hose on my K2500, and I'm getting interference with the low pressure hard lines coming out of the steering box outlet for the cooler. The high pressure hard line on the steering box side is hitting the hard lines for the cooler. I purchased a replacement low...

    Front Differential Actuator Upgrade Question

    I ordered a new actuator and harness to upgrade the front differential actuator, but the harness doesn't come with the spacer. Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the spacer so I can find something else to use instead?

    Later style NV4500 shift boot and transfer case shifter bezel

    I’m tired of looking at the massive old style floor cover for the NV4500 and transfer case shifter. Does anyone have these pieces they are willing to let go of? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1995 Blend Door Actuator Positioning

    Hey all, I just replaced the blend door actuator in my K1500. I was diagnosing the mode actuator (both lever links were broken), and it would only blow hot the entire time. After I finished replacing the blower motor resistor, I watched the blend door actuator and noticed that it wasn't moving...

    1995 K1500 RCSB 350 TBI/NV4500

    Well it's officially on the block. I will give the story of what I know about the truck if you want, but I'll try to keep it pertinent. It was my uncle's truck. It has been parked in my grandparents' shop for the last 8 years. Grandpa wanted it moved so he could park his new F150 in the spot, so...

    K1500 Front Bump Stop Brackets?

    Has anyone come across a set of front bump stop brackets that can be welded onto the frame to replace the ones that had been cut off for a lift install? My dad wants the Rancho 6" lift taken off of his 1994 K1500 and will need a new set when he goes back to stock height.

    14 Bolt FF Hard Brake Line Supplier

    Does anyone know a good place to get new hard brake lines for a 14 bolt full float axle? Or would it be easier to make my own? One of the lines on my axle is pinched and I want to replace it before I put the axle in the truck. I've searched through Rock Auto but can't find anything there.

    Time to rebuild the NV4500

    The time has come to go through the NV4500 and bring it back up to where it should be. I had the transmission out in August to replace a shot throwout bearing, and replaced the clutch/pressure plate and fork while it was out. I promised if I ever took it out again I would do the full rebuild...

    Big 3 upgrade questions

    Hey all, My battery cables are shot and need to be replaced. At some point, the wires had been ripped out of the positive cable terminal and hacked back together, and the negative cable is loose on the terminal. I can watch the volt meter on the dash tick with blinkers so there is obviously...

    Remotely mounting the ICM and ignition coil

    Has anyone had any experience and/or luck with moving the ICM from the distributor and the ignition coil from the mount next to the distributor and put them on the firewall, fender, etc? I think another ICM just burned up while I was out tuning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Clutch won't disengage after driving under load

    Today I was pulling a 27' travel trailer over a mountain pass. Starting out and for the first 15 or so miles on fairly flat roads, the clutch would disengage and transmission shifted just fine. When climbing the pass and shifting between 3rd and 4th, it became harder to shift. It felt like I was...

    Early NV4500 External Slave Cylinder Stud Thread Size?

    Anyone know the thread size on the external slave cylinder studs? The kit I bought didn't come with any and the SM465 slave cylinder nuts are too small.

    NV4500 transmission fluid problem

    Hey all, Last year when I had an NV4500 swapped in place of the SM465, I'm fairly certain the shop I had do the work filled the NV4500 with ATF. There is pretty apparent rattling and gear noise at idle and the shifting is terrible. I have 4 quarts of Amsoil MTG ready to pour in. Is any residual...

    TBI Spacer for 91-94 454 TBI

    Hey all, I'm looking for a TBI spacer for a 91-94 454 throttle body. I found a TB for my 383, but the Edelbrock intake has a raised throttle body mounting surface that matches the footprint of the small block throttle body. The newer style big block throttle bodies have a larger footprint, so...

    Widening TBI intake bores

    I just picked up a complete big block throttle body for my 383. Comes with 65# injectors, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, IAC valve, and TPS. I need to widen the TB bores in my Edelbrock intake. Does anyone see anything wrong with using a gasket to locate the holes and using a hole saw to...
