The interior is like showroom condition so I don’t want to start pulling it apart just yet. But YES it definitely needs some sound deadener, when the time comes. It certainly ain’t quiet
Yes new 92+ calipers as well. The lift kit requires it so I went ahead and did everything matching. I haven’t bled the RWAL but I’ll certainly look into it as well. I suspect rear drums need some adjusting too. You sure do know these trucks pretty good!
The cab bushing are in my cart to order...
I covered most of that when I did the lift kit, front brakes upgraded to 92 and later style rotor and hub assy. Tire rods and ball joints also done at time of lift. Brakes still suck but it stops well just a little more travel in pedal than a new truck. Cab mounts are on order as well. Thanks...
My truck will get me back and forth to our farm where I’ll swap out for the tractor or service truck and also run around town for errands.
So it’ll be a daily driver. Question is what would you do to make it a reliable / efficient daily. I’ve already done the basics, thermostat, plugs, brakes...
It’s a generic one off eBay that I modified to suite my needs. It was originally black but I blasted it and sprayed it with duplicolor chrome to match the rest of the trim. It was $150ish as compared to the old school real ones that fetch 1000 or more
Well…with the advice and guidance of a lot of fellas on this board, I think I got the majority of kinks worked out on the mystery mechanical side… time will tell.
I had to add a touch of height to the suspension since I live in a very rural area and we’re flood prone most of the year….and I...
Checked the new 195 stat in boiling water and it opened accurate… cleaned up the studs/ground to sensors along with the new stat fixed my issues. I guess the temp sensor is working as it should. Thanks for everyone’s insight. I get ocd chasing bigger issues than the simpler ones
All good info, thank you! I was reading around and it seems a likely culprit that most of the trucks of this era resoundingly had gauges that didn’t read all that accurately. I’m waiting on some other parts to show up before I can run the truck on the road instead of at idle in driveway to see...
I haven’t installed anything yet, as I was uncertain that I even have the original engine in this truck. According to year of truck the sensor you posted is correct, however not the same as what’s actually on the motor. I’m going to pick up the sensor you posted this morning and see where that...
So here we are again working mysteries without any clues. (Bob Seger)
If you saw saw my last post about the A.I.R valve not looking like any of the photos listed as replacement parts, than you know what I’m up against. Vehicle is a 1988 GMC C1500 Sierra SLE 2wd 350 TBI. My temp gauge is only...
