    Rear axle swap 10 bolt to sf 14 bolt

    " the 14b’s all had 11” brakes. " Is there an identification stamping on a 454SS axle that positively ID's it? If so I can lay this question to rest. jt

    Rear axle swap 10 bolt to sf 14 bolt

    So......there were (are) JB6 axle flanges for 3" tube 10 bolts (surburbans) AND JB6 flanges for 3&3/8" tube 14 bolts? Were any 14 bolt SS454 axles JB6 equipped? (haven't measured, but pretty sure they came with 3" tubes)

    Are both single wheel? What brake option on each (JB5/JB6)? A picture of bare axle housing ends with measurements of backing plate mounting flange hole distances would be great!! jt

    Does anyone have pics with measurements of 5 lug C1500 rear axle backing plate mounting flanges with JB5 and the same with JB6? Is it possible to have two identical axles with ONLY the backing plate mounting flanges being different? jess in ky

    K1500 JB5 to JB7 upgrade brake parts

    "Upgrade the rear brakes to the 11.x Duo-Servo units instead of that craptastic 254mm Leading-Trailing shoe system" Been looking at doing this too, BUT does this NOT require replacing the axle housing to one with the correct ends? I have a 90 454SS 14 bolt rear end under my 91 C1500 2WD and...

    Rear disc brakes

    Reopening this post....as this is still not resolved. The rearend I installed in my truck (5 lug 14 bolt from a 90 454 SS) did not have backing plates when I got it, and, after measuring the backing plate mounting flanges and finding they matched, I just removed the axles and put the entire...

    Frame resonance.

    I bought a 2005 GMC C1500 new. It had the (they called it "frame beaming") vibration from the day I drove it off the lot. After many many useless attempts to fix it, they (field office?) told me it was a normal occurrence and "no repair is necessary", basically "pound sand". Never another GMC...

    Best plastic dash protectant?

    I finally got around to replacing the broken up dash in my 92 Silverado. I used a nice original. Whew!! that was a job. Anyway, I would like to treat it with something that would help protect and preserve it. I have used "Armor All" in the distant past, Is there a newer product that would work...

    Pilar post gauge pod that ACTUALLY FITS??!!!

    I installed a couple gauges in my 92 C1500 (trans temo, fuel pressure) in a pilar post gauge pod. Everything works great except!! the add on gauge pod doesn't even come close to fitting the contours of the factory pilar post cover. Does anyone make one that actually fits? TIA, jess in ky

    ‘92 5.7 tbi stalls after tach goes crazy

    I have almost the exact problem (92 C1500 5.7 700R4, tach bounces wildly at idle). I have done (unsuccessfully) all you have tried. When you change out the ICM and coil, if you would, do the coil first (easiest), then try it to see if it fixes the problem (new ICM, then new dist did NOT fix...

    8 inch trim rings??

    Anyone have experience with/actually bought a set of 3 inch trim rings from LMC (38-3773) or USA1 Industries (20626)? Looking for a replacement set for my 8 inch truck rallies. Question is, are either of these shaped like the original rounded truck trim rings or are they flatter like the...

    92 Silverado speedo

    The answer to my question..... worn out output shaft! Apparently the reluctor spun long enough to wear the shaft a couple thousandths. Replaced it with an unworn (1.192) used piece, problem solved.

    Piston ring install issues.

    Did you check the end gap on the oil ring rails too (the two that fit on the spacer in the bottom piston groove)? Also can you compare them to the old rings (if you haven't discarded them yet), for thickness from the edge that touches the cylinder wall to the edge that lays against the inside of...

    Piston ring install issues.

    Did you clean all carbon from the ring grooves? If not it may be preventing the rings from going far enough into the groove to allow installation?

    Update! I smoked the converter clutches in my 700R4 (towing an unloaded box trailer in OD)......so.....I pulled it out a have it on the bench to overhaul while it's out for a new converter. I found, after pulling the tailshaft, that the speedo reluctor does not fit tight on the output shaft...

    Looking at how the door panels and door pulls (closing handles) changed over these years, how did the inside shells change to accommodate the different door panels?

    Rear disc brakes

    This!!! ....is what I really rather do, but my search for said parts has been fruitless! I have the unusual 1990 SS 454 rear end under my truck already, but of course it has the "crappy Leading/Trailing shoe drums". Can I just buy new backing plates/drums/shoes/hardware for a particular...

    92 Silverado speedo

    The speedometer on my 92 Silverado works correctly driving short trips around home, but when I travel out of town for trips that take 45 minutes to a couple hours, it gradually drops down to about 40 mph, even though I'm doing about 70. I understand from researching other posts this may be a...

    Paint color

    How could I determine the original color on my truck (92 C1500 Silverado, light blue) if the sticker in the glove box is wrong (it looks like the glove box insert may be from a different vehicle)? jess
