    Can't find discontinued parts for shift rod.

    Hello everyone. Im hoping I can get some help with this. Had the shift rod pop out on me in a parking lot. Was able to pop it back in and get home, but I don't trust it and want to replace bushings. It is a 1988 K1500 5.7L auto 4WD. I called dealer and got part numbers, but they couldn't order...

    Oversized Drain plug?

    Power mirror harness kit?

    So I finally got fed up with tightening the bolts on my old dumbo style mirrors after they fold in on the highway. I ended up buying a set of the newer regular style mirrors, and realized as I was installing them that they were actually power mirrors. I tucked the pigtails and just installed...

    ECU upgrade options for K1500 with 350 TBI.

    Hey everyone, I am in the process of getting ready to do some of the ultimate TBI mods since I am going to rebuild my throttle body soon, which got me thinking about my ECU.

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure and Idle

    I will definitely look at those two things and I did run a can of seafoam through. Although it was only for a spirited 15 minute drive to work before immediately changing the oil then. I will have to try it again and leave the seafoam in longer as I am not used to using it on an older motor...

    Synthetic Fluids Recommended?

    Synthetic Fluids Recommended?

    Thanks for all the advice by the way everyone. Decided to start slow rather than go full bore right away and used Castrol part-synthetic and a bottle of zinc additive. So far no new leaks!

    Sorry, just getting back to this. Here is a few quick pics I took over the weekend when I had a moment. They aren't great pictures, but I think they show everything pretty well including the mismatched glove box haha!'

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure and Idle

    Haha, this truck has been in my family since new and its true, it has spent alot of time sitting. I believe it's early life was spent as a farm truck, but from what I can tell, other than not being used, it was taken care of.

    Fluctuating Oil Pressure and Idle

    Ran a can of seafoam with a healthy drive and then changed the oil. Was going to see if any change happened but I noticed my radiator leaking badly all of the sudden, so guess I have to worry about this problem first haha.
