    If you don’t have one of no spill radiator funnel things I recommend getting one lol. Got my coolant issue fixed. Now has a 195* thermostat in it. Seems to be working good after I finally got the system all burped up. Goes to about 225* then goes back to 195*. Not sure if the gauge is slow or...

    Bleh. Turns out the 160 degree thermostat was a non existent thermostat lol. Put a 195 in it and ended up having to add a lot of water as it overheated on my test drive. I’ll finish burping it tonight and hope that problem is solved. Still chasing the “misfire”. Seems more pronounced on a cold...

    Misfire?

    Bleh still tracking this down lol. Took all the plug wires off and tested them, had nothing above 7.5k for resistance, wiggled them around and was still good.

    Long shot but does anyone have a pic or opinion on the LMC glove box doors? Need one since mine is trashed. Dunno if I should just grab one of theirs or try to find a grey OEM and paint it. 88-94.

    Misfire?

    1989, 5.7/700r4 Stock except for exhaust as far as I know. Looks like it just had a tune up but cant say for sure. Has what appears to be a new rotoe cap and plug wires. Runs fine but just get this kind of popping noise at idle. Thoughts? Dark because I just had down by my exhaust.

    Tonight got some new headlight housings to replace a yellowing one. Looks way better. One that sucks is tearing into stuff discovering what the PO decided to take shortcuts on. Bleh. Someone before the PO cared about the truck though. Got under it and it appears to have a new gas tank under it...

    Been looking around the service manual but cant seem to find it. Whats the measurement from center of hubs to the fenders? Trying to figure out what my drop actually is.

    Yeehaw

    Yeah I don’t know why I didn’t check but I was just excited to find one rust free with a good title. And yeah I def plan on doing it right. Plan on keeping it awhile so hopefully it don’t fold up lol.

    Lets see some dropped C1500s

    Here’s mine. 4/6. Need to do the notch.

    Yeehaw

    Plans right now are just get it caught up on maintenance and do a c notch on it. Def needs a front end rebuild, and plan to do a drain/fill on the trans. Theres a few interior parts broken like the glove box and ash tray so Ill get that fixed.

    New here from OKC. Just picked up my first GMT400. Found a pretty straight and rust free with clean title ‘89 short wide. Pretty much all stock except for a 4/6 drop. Just looking to learn and hang out.
