    Review my overhaul setup

    My ole girl is drinking oil more and more by the day, and as it's my daily driver it's getting closer and closer to time to give her a refresh. Conveniently for my budget, my ole man is getting ready to swap the 355 we built in his 70 El Camino for an LS3. I'm planning on pilfering parts off...

    FItech Go EFI system

    anybody used one of these things? It certainly is pretty reasonably priced and seems like a simple solution to really upping the HP of our trucks without the hassle of doing all the TBI mods and fooling with a computer chip tune?

    terrible noise from tranny 700R4

    Truck is driving fine but the tranny is making a terrible noise at idle, and only in park I think- (couldn't get it to replicate in drive with foot on brake). Hope these videos do it justice:

    New 700r4

    So the time has come to do some major work on my truck. It's got sentimental value so ill never sell it, but I'm moving out west in a month and it needs some work. I need it to be dead nuts reliable, and be able to pull a uhaul from Georgia to Colorado. I'd rather spend $4-5000 on this truck...

    Checking codes- dumb question

    Alright I've read all over the place about how to check engine codes. My check engine light has been coming on intermittently the past couple times I've driven it. I get how to check the codes with a jumper wire, but here's my dumb question- where does the number of the code display? i.e. how...

    89 350 tbi- seafoamed and no smoke

    After getting the results of my compression test- all cylinders between 235-260 psi, and having an on going spark knock when I'm in overdrive and give it a little juice, I figured I have tons of carbon build up. Makes sense, as my grandfather drove it probably 8,000 miles over the past 17...

    Distributor recommendation for 89 tbi 350

    When I replaced my cap and rotor a few months ago, pretty much everything in my distributor was super corroded. I'm getting a pretty bad miss at idle. The TBIchips.com site says that replacing distributor after 100k is a must. Mine has 115K on it and it sat for 3 years. It makes a loud...

    Do I have my EGR solenoid installed correctly?

    Put a new EGR valve on my truck this weekend, and had to replace the broken vacuum line that went in between the EGR valve itself and the EGR solenoid. There were two vacuum line ports on the EGR valve side of the solenoid, I hooked up to the top one as I couldn't remember which port to use...

    89 two gauge cluster to 90 five gauge cluster

    Did some searching and didn't quite find the info I needed. I have an 89 Cheyenne with the 2 gauge cluster (only fuel and speed). I'm not really trusting the computer to tell me when it's over heating, so I picked up a 5 gauge cluster from a 90. How plug and play is this going to be? Where...

    89 Cheyenne gauges upgrade

    I have an 89 Cheyenne with the two gauge cluster, speedo and fuel level. I would really love to have a little more info on what is going on with my engine. What is involved in swapping to a cluster that has the voltage, water temp and oil pressure gauges? Would it just be easier to throw on a...

    Losing oil in ti 350 - risks to continue driving it?

    Back in Thanksgiving I inherited my grand father's 89 K1500 with a 350 TBI. He ordered it new, and it had 113k on the odometer when he gave it to me. He took meticulous care of it before retiring it and using it as basically a farm truck. It sat for about 3 years prior to me inheriting it...
