Nad and dry thanks for your responses but I have eliminated the tire diameter as a variable by just measuring from the center of the hub to a fixed spot on the wheel well. wb292, I replied to your PM sorry it took a while.
I just took my measurements. It would appear in 28 years my truck hasn't settled in the least... I have the SS454 15 wheels with 275/60 R15 tires. The measurements from the bottom most ball joint edge to the ground as described is 8 inches even. The measurement from the ground to the center...
Thanks for the information, so I have a C truck with the 15 inch wheels and I understand what you are saying with the "Z" height. When you describe the flange on the ball joint are you saying where the ball join flange contacts the A-arm or the lowest point of the ball joint closest to the...
I have a 1993 C1500 Std cab/short bed truck and it has the factory "sport suspension", looks like an SS454 truck... It's on stock springs and I want to drop it two inches from where it sits now but given the age of the truck I'm wondering if it's already settled an inch or more and if I drop it...
I just have the one heated O2 sensor. I'll check the resistance as you note but just for conversation here assuming my resistance falls within the value you offered and I have one 02 sensor it's somewhat safe to assume about 2 amps of draw if you add a little for the sensor getting warm and the...
Picking up an old thread. I'm doing the same exact thing, 1 wire to 3 wire conversion since I installed headers on the truck. I was going to tap into a power source on the firewall junction box but I assumed that was a "fused" source and therefore I was wondering if the heated O2 sensor would...
Wow I honestly thought I'd get very little feedback and I like what a bunch of you wrote. Thanks for the thoughts. I guess you are right no harm in posting the parts for sale and as a back up the scrap yard might get a look at it... Regarding the coffee table we've all seen that picture over...
Is there some crazy universe that my stock TBI 305 block and heads would be useful or desirable for someone. Long story short I pulled my 208,000 mile 1993 TBI 305 motor a year ago. I've had it kicking around because I wanted to see what the intake ports, combustion chambers, pistons and...
I have the same issue. I've done an electrical test on the motor to make sure it's not shorted out and I know the gears turn freely with no missing teeth. The speedo works correctly so the signal to the cluster is good and all of the electrical leads show continuity when tested so I'm sort of...
That's why I was asking if I could test it... In my area finding a 88-98 GM truck in a junkyard with a single usable part is like finding a needle in a haystack. I want to confirm the motor is the issue before I search for it, in my view there are three factors: the elec. signal, mechanical...
