    NV4500 clutch problems

    I swapped a NV4500 in my truck in 2011. Been a few years and lots of miles with no problems. The past few months it has given me some trouble. The pedal started to get harder. Didn't notice it at first cause it was gradual and I've got 3 other stick cars I drive. Master blew out so I replaced...

    Vibrates like crazy in 4WD, fine in 2WD

    94 K1500 with a BW tcase swap and elec actuator conversion. I assumed it was a CV problem, but I just got the truck in the air and don't feel any play in the CV joints. They seem to be fine. The 4WD does work, but I cant use it above 5mph or so because it vibrates. So I'm thinking the...

    Carb to EFI swap on the Camaro. Engine build.

    I bought a used EFI kit that came in yesterday, I'm psyched. Everything looks good. Accel DFI with all wiring and computers: Gen7 with SFI and Alpha-N fueling. Even has the o2. And my low-pro Eddy TB linkage clears the rails with no spacer. (Sold off the shiny one...I don't like shiny). Drop...

    Decent black or smoked headlights

    Looking to pick up some decent black or smoked headlights and signals. I already put on some black corners that I like...and will probably get the matching signals because they are more visible than I would have expected with the black housing. Obviously I'd like to keep decent...

    Show me your door arm rests

    Mine suck and all the replacements I find in the yard suck. Anyone do something custom?

    Wipers are dead

    Just got the truck back on the road after a drivetrain overhaul and now the wipers don't work. Seems weird, the wipers were left untouched during the project...but anyway they don't work. I like the think I'm pretty good with electrical, but this has me stumped. I've tested two switches and...

    Tuning $0D for Vortec TBI 357

    Just got the thing on the road and started driving. Only changes to the stock BIN are for manual transmission, EGR delete and slightly higher cylinder volume of the overbore. Base timing is at 0 with the EST wire unplugged, and the fuel pressure is at 11psi(maxed out AFPR...new fuel pump is...

    1/2T NP241 to 1T BW4401

    I just swapped a BW4401 in my 1/2 ton along with the NV4500 (all from a 1T donor truck of the same year). All the plugs fit together perfect, although one connector had 3 wires in my truck, and only 2 pins on the tcase. There is also one wire connector on the tcase unplugged because I have...

    Radiator drain ****

    Yeah, I said drain ****. Mine appears to be leaking right from the drain **** or maybe right underneath it. I really can't get a good look at it. Rad was fine before the engine swap, but has a slow drip now. The drain **** seems to seat fine, but the tab is not vertical, it's at a slight...

    2WD Low range

    I can't find it, but I read somewhere that you can put a rocker switch on the front diff actuator wire and therefore run low range in 2WD. Does anyone know exactly which wire that is or have a tutorial? With my 5spd swap it seems like 2wd low would be really handy in case I need to really...

    Woody's Black Z71 pic history

    In 2009 I bought my truck as basically a rust-free beater from NC. 220k on it with a 350 TBI and 4l60e. Had to get rid of the god damn chrome. So I started with 95+ mirrors and a new grille since the old one was busted anyway. Had no balls at all so I put a new exhaust on from...

    Swapping front tcase yokes

    I'm putting a BW 1-ton tcase in with my NV4500 for my half ton. The donor truck was a rusty POS and I snapped a bolt off in the front BW yoke. Can I just swap yokes from my half ton tcase to the BW? According to a couple quick & dirty measurements it looks like I should be able to. I pulled the...

    5spd swap w/ auto column wiring

    I've read that the P/N input for the ECM needs to be connected for a 5spd swap on the old-dash-style trucks. This was with a 700r4 though, my 94 has a 4l60e and the old dash, and I do not find EMC inputs on the column in any wiring diagram I've gotten my hands on. Is this unnecessary for me due...

    Roller-cam Vortec 357 TBI build

    I'm in the middle of an engine build and thought I'd post up my progress so far. My truck was gutless so I figured I'd build it while the trans was out. Upon disassembly I found out the previous rebuilder used #187 305 swirl port heads and mega-dish pistons for a pathetic 8.7:1 CR and...

    Stock locker in 14-bolt

    Are they any good? I've heard nothing but bad things about the lockers in 10-bolts, but was wondering about the 14s. I'm sourcing a 6-lug 14-bolt for my truck and would like to know if it's worth being picky and spending a few extra bucks to get the stock locker. I plan on replacing my 10-bolt...

    New to the forum but not to Chevys

    Hey. I'm a Chevy guy like most of you I'm sure. I've got an 80 Camaro and a 91 Beretta along with my 94 Z71. The plan was to leave my Z71 alone as a winter beater since I have so much money tied up in modding the Camaro and Beretta...but so much for that. Now I'm in the process of building a...
