    Stock replacement carb

    thank you, I am missing a line going off the right side of the charcoal can. I recently got a rough idle with code thrown for egr short and rich pass side. I have a new egr and solenoid(not installed), but maybe because there isnt even a vac line to it. Any idea what size line I would need?

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    I have a 10 bolt rear on my 88 k1500, my question is the diff cover has no fill thread/hole. But It appears there is a “thread” with square spot for a socket on the diff housing it self. Is this my fill thread for the diff fluid?

    Long tubes newbie question

    thanks for the info all. I may have to bring this to shop to do, I know I can do the header install, but since it would be first time mocking up exhaust after the fact, someone who has done this before will cause me less swearing. And I live in apartment complex so I cant run headers until I can...

    Stock replacement carb

    I’ll be dammed. it looked like a carb just from how the air filter was. It looks similar to a carb, but has 2 top injection ports of sorts. Im getting 10mpg, so looking to improve that. The vacuum line to a canister on front drivers side appears to not connect to anything after that canister...

    Is there a combo for a headunit that fits in the same spot as the stock radio. So far I only found a center dash kit. Does it have to be a headunit without a cdplayer? I have a 1988 k1500. Thank you all

    Bolt in Lower ball joint

    Thank you for your reply. I am hoping that these are just bolted in and have no rivets. I didn’t see any at glance. front end rebuild should be fun. Gonna leave the pitman arm in as there is a cross member in the way, even though I bought the dam socket set. Also adding water pump to the list...
