    Nv4500 clutch recommendations?

    I put a nv4500 in my 91 1500 ecsb in 2016. Luk clutch kit, stock replacement flywheel, master, & throw out bearing from oreillys. Everything works great even pulling the occasional load that’s more than what’s appropriate for a half ton.

    Talladega was awesome!! Still waiting on my book. Tracking says its held up in Dallas. GRRRR!!!! I have been working on a cart to do my teardowns and work on. I was not impressed by the quality of anything in the stores so I decided build one.

    89 c2500 TH400 rebuild or replace???

    Got the original TH400 that was in the truck this weekend. Have not had a chance to do any teardowns or much else. Still waiting on my book and getting ready to go to Talladega this weekend for the NASCAR race. Scratch that off the bucket list!

    89 c2500 TH400 rebuild or replace???

    waiting on my TH400 book to get here but I got the trans pulled out of Tommy and this is the torque converter. The "ripples" on the shaft are a reflection of the vane welds. shaft is smooth except for the wear. 89trans5 by tardisguy posted Apr 16, 2021 at 10:15 AM89trans4 by tardisguy posted...

    89 c2500 TH400 rebuild or replace???

    Found out this evening that my uncle has the original TH400 that was in the truck. He had it swapped because it would not shift until high RPM. He didn't have time to fool with it at that time (no truck, no income) so he had another one built and put in. I have read that a bad vacuum...

    89 c2500 TH400 rebuild or replace???

    I have watched his videos and he is awesome and very thorough. If he took take offs I would just road trip and go see him! (i love road trips) He has said no take offs in his video's but I might have to call and ask personally. LOL I am pretty DIY but auto trans are a bit much for me. But...

    89 c2500 TH400 rebuild or replace???

    Before 1st startup I checked trans fluid level and it was low so I added to full mark knowing it will probably take more once motor was running and trans had distributed fluid to all the passages and all. Started motor and quickly check trans fluid to make sure it was not super low. No fluid...

    Hey everyone, been awhile. My uncle recently gave me his old work truck and I have been working on getting it back up to ***** after being parked for the past 5 years. Long story short, the truck was stolen 5 years ago, but my uncle got it back a week later with only a busted column and it has...

    88GMCtruck's NV4500 Swap

    Clutch safety switch uses same wires as neutral safety switch. I still have not installed the safety switch on my set up. Truck will start as long as I leave the shift collar on the column in park (truck still has the auto column). I have it set up like that as a theft deterrent. I...

    Complete rebuild question

    I'm in San Antonio, TX. There is a difference between classic and antique plates. Classic plates are more just to look cool, no real benefits (annual registration or inspection still must be done) Antique plate on the other hand, have special rules. Plates cost around $55 and are good for 5...

    Where do tie down straps?

    This is where they are in the Suburbans/Tahoe/Yukons The base is one piece. You can use the factory bolt but you need to find a nut for the bolt because they bolt into a fitting in the floorpan of the Suburbans etc.
