    This is what the inside of your brake system looks like...

    My 1990 C3500 had a brake light that I couldn't seem to make go out. After some reading, I figure that maybe the RWAL brake solenoid is causing the problem. I also figure the brake system might need an overhaul after 25 years.

    I'm new to this board. I am off work today and it's too cold to do anything outside so I made an album and posted it here. I posted it as an Imgur album on Reddit, and a couple people told me a board like this might appreciate it more.

    Installed new heads and cam in my 1990 C3500 farm truck 7.4L

    I inherited this truck from my brother who died a few years back. At first I was excited to own a hard pulling big block truck, but pretty soon I was scratching my head wondering why it felt like my 3.0L Camry could outrun it.
