    Late doors on early truck

    Thanks for the replies! Well if it’s not a ton of work having to cut and weld for the door pulls them I am ok with that. Honestly I don’t car tk have non matching panels. Mine aren’t in the best condition anyway. I guess I will snag the doors and either modify them for my panels or make The...

    Late doors on early truck

    I’m after a set of doors for my 89, I’d really rather avoid new aftermarket doors because of fighting figment. I’m able to get a complete set of later 95-up doors from a local yard. Do any of you folks have a picture of the later panels against and early dash? I know, I know the lines don’t...

    Replacing oil pressure gauge motor

    Thank you for the replies everyone! Someotherguy was correct. I had the wrong type of sender. I have a handful of take off from vehicles through the years, I assumed GM would use the same voltage or ohm range for their senders but I was wrong. Works perfect now.

    Replacing oil pressure gauge motor

    The sender could be the problem, it just threw me off because the gauge went way past the normal position. I can try another sender. I did see those stepper motors on Amazon and eBay, but they all say 95 or 96 and up. If all else fails I have a mechanical gauge I can drop in. I put a 6.0 in...

    Replacing oil pressure gauge motor

    I am putting a 94 cluster in my 89, everything works except the oil pressure gauge, it has pegged. I’ve measured resistance and the sender appears to be working. The gauge has went past the normal max position. Is it possible to change the motor in the cluster, like the later styler clusters...

    89 to 94 cluster swap drac module help

    I tried searching but didn’t come up with much on this site, I did find a few from other sites. Mods are welcome to remove it, I don’t want to clutter up the site with repeat topics. I tried looking for a 91 cluster with a tach but they are rare. 92-94s are much easier to source. I also...

    89 to 94 cluster swap drac module help

    I came across this link, it answered my tire and gear ratio question. https://harristuning.com/Tbi/vssb-drac-calibration/ It looks like I should get the DRAC from the same truck the cluster came from. Everything else looks straight forward. I will post information as I do this.

    89 to 94 cluster swap drac module help

    I would like to swap my 89-91 gauge cluster to the 92-94 style with a tach. I have found some information on it, but it wasn’t not very much. I have diagrams for both clusters, and the only big difference I see is that the later style clusters use a DRAC module. Other than that, it will just be...

    89 K2500 LS swap A/C help

    I definitely over thought it at first. I believe the low switch was on the sbc compressor, a few aftermarket companies sell a high/low switch in one. I’ll just place that at the dryer and wire it up as if it were the original. I haven’t put much thought into the compressor, I planned to use a...

    89 K2500 LS swap A/C help

    So what exactly does the PCM need to do for the A/C system? Being that my truck had it stock, couldn’t I just use the stock wiring and connect it to the LS compressor? Wouldn’t it work like it did with a SBC? The PCM would normally kick a fan on for it, and possibly compensate for the extra load...

    89 K2500 LS swap A/C help

    Through searching Google I saw some threads on here with 95 and up information, but I haven’t seen much for the 88-94s. I didn’t read through them so they not of been helpful

    89 K2500 LS swap A/C help

    I am swapping a LQ4 into my 89 K2500. Im using a modified stock harness per LT1swap directions, and my own fuse/relay panel. I swapped an LS into my Porsche 944 last year so I have a good grasp on the swap and the wiring, but I have never messed with A/C. It’s always something I have ripped out...

    NV4500 swap build w/questions

    The bell housing from the truck had a crack near the slave cyl, so the guy gave me a good bellhousing for it, and the cracked one. I’ll clean the cracked one and tig it so I’ll have a spare. The truck it came out of was rusted to nothing, but was Mechanically sound. I got everything from the...
