    Blue smoke when restarting truck

    My 89 C1500 will produce a small/mid size cloud of blue smoke when I restart the truck after letting it sit for 20+minutes after driving it. No smoke of any color on initial start up if its been sitting for a half day/day or so. I know this means its burning oil. What is recommended I check on...

    Need some rear suspension help

    I have a 1989 C1500 shortbed with about 65k miles on it. Each time i hit small potholes, train tracks, or just small bumps in general I hear some thumps and thuds coming from the rear. Some of it I assume is coming from the tailgate vibrating a bit but I think there is more to it. Just sounds...

    Throttle body position sensor trouble?

    Thank you. I changed out the coolant temp sensor and that seemed to straighten out the idle. I just took it around town and it’s going good, still a tiny bit of a rough idle while at stop signs but no surging or stalling at all. I’m having trouble finding an OBD1 scan tool. Only able to find an...

    Throttle body position sensor trouble?

    thanks, going to go get an obd1 scanner shortly along with a new battery. When I turn the key on, I don’t get any SES light at all..

    Throttle body position sensor trouble?

    Thanks so much for the input. Do you have a scanner you recommend? I tried to jump the a and b ports with a paperclip but my service engine light won’t come on so I couldn’t pull any codes from it that way.

    Throttle body position sensor trouble?

    My 89 350 TBI surged and then stalled on me at a stop sign a few weeks ago after giving it some gas down a stretch. Haven’t driven it much at all since then and the idle has gotten progressively worse. Started it today and ran it for about two minutes in park, gave it some gas and then when it...

    Need some wheel/tire help

    Dig it! I personally don't like em slammed all the way to the ground. Love it when they're a little lower in the front than the rear. Yours looks great, nice and even. From what I've heard a 275/60/15 will work on a 15x10 but I should probably look into it more.

    Need some wheel/tire help

    Thanks! Paint could use a little touch up, plenty of nicks and dings but you can’t see em doing 60.

    Need some wheel/tire help

    Thank you, I’m going to take that into account and try to get an idea as to what it’ll look like on the truck. I hear you about it not being your style. I’d like to eventually remove the step rails and I have a simpler front valance from lmc that needs to go on. Appreciate the compliment and the...

    Need some wheel/tire help

    This is my 89. Stock height, 15x10 with 295/50/r15 all the way around. Looking to fill up the wheel well a get rid of the lip a bit (as much as I love it). I'd like to keep the wheels I have here but am curious what size tire will work best on 15x10 to fill in the well. No clue on the backspace...
