    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    Worked many years at a Toyota dealership. Had a late 80's Land Cruiser come in with a rotted oil pan. These guys had a big inline 6 and the pans were a PITA to remove. Managed to get it out, went to the parts counter and got the replacement pan, got it installed and proceeded to fill the...

    5.3 + manual swap

    How are you going to really enjoy/drive your truck? Be honest with yourself. If you NEED to be the baddest guy in the 'hood, then yeah go big or go home as they say. But if you just want a nice reliable driver that'll make you smile when you step on the pedal, either the 4.8 or 5.3 will do just...

    Reading this posting is more fun than being in a movie theater, sitting in front of a kid with a crinkly cellophane bag of candy. Bring on the popcorn!!:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

    Stering column broken

    I would use a column from '94 and back. Starting in '95 GM started to do weird things with the steering columns. Guessing you have a stick trans? You won't need the NSS that's mounted on the column, as the clutch pedal has a safety switch, and the trans has the reverse light switch. The newer...

    This may be way out in left field, but how much play is in the output shaft of the transmission?

    Tape Deck Delete

    I was in the same boat as you guys when I got my truck. The player didn't work and the PO's hacked off the wires and left the unit laying in the hole. What I did was epoxy a piece of textured ABS panel into the vent panel. If you have a U-pull it yard, look for late 90's early 2000's Full size...

    89 silverado gauge swap altenator not charging

    Yep, thems the ones. You might want to pull the cluster and see if you have battery voltage on all three locations. Check continuity from pinA to the alternator connector to see if you have an "open" in the circuit

    89 silverado gauge swap altenator not charging

    When you spliced in the "new" cluster plug into the "old" harness, did you join the three "new" hot wires to your "old" harness? You may have a bad connection at your splice point. The three points of reference on the "new" plug being pins F, O, and U. The one pin on the "old" connector being...

    LS swap in 88 k3500 - wiring questions for gauges

    You're gonna keep the following wires; oil pressure sender, coolant temp(the one from the side of the driver's side head) and wiper wiring. These go to the bulkhead connector on the driver's side firewall. You'll not use just about All of the wiring going to the passenger side bulkhead connector...

    I Gotta Know!

    Going WAY BACK to the opening post, i got to thinking about my '89 RCSB and why. I dreamed of my own hot rod back in the 60's, before Uncle Ho Chi invited me to his party. Then life happened. Had a few close calls with some street rods ('48 Willys, '54 Ford, '68 Chevelle SS, '80 Squarebody), but...

    W/T Picture Thread?

    Here's a couple of pic's of my '89 Cheyenne. While not a W/T (not introduced till the '90 model year) it's the precursor, being the lower cost model with the two headlamps instead of the "4 eyes" of the Silverado. Gonna keep it like this, because a) I like it, and b) it sets this truck apart...

    1988-1994 "Moon" Gauge Compatibility

    I have a nice cluster, a take-out of my '89 Cheyenne, that you can have for postage. Needs a lense cover, as I tried to clean it and the cleaning agent caused the plastic to haze. Other than that, it works just fine. Send me a PM if interested

    Might just give up......

    Gonna say something right from the start. No offense to you, but your attitude is what's gonna defeat you . Either do it or don't. I'm 76 (gonna be 77 this year) and I just did this swap last summer, by myself!! Hardest part was handling the hood. I'm not as strong as I yousta be, and I got help...

    Turn signal/Running light issue

    I'm no electrical wizard, but it might have something to do with the total resistance of all the lights you've put on that one circuit. What you might want to try is putting a relay in to turn on your valence lights. Use the power wire from your right side lighting to trigger the relay, then...

    Making changes to a 10 bolt rear

    What a clusterfork!! I was SO-O-O sure that what I had looked up would get me what I wanted, BUT NOOO. Went to the Littleshop MFG. site this morning (that's where the axle tube flange pics came from), and don't ya know, there's a third pic of a flange for the trucks with 11" brakes, and that...
