I used to work for Action truck caps and we only used 303 protectant on all of the tonneau covers we would sell. Even the companies that sold stuff for conditioning their own vinyl covers weren't as good as it. He told me (don't know the science of it, i never bothered to check his facts)...

Yeah, i'd be worried if it ran as long as you left the key in the ON position. It's perfectly normal as stated above. The same goes for almost every vehicle with an electric fuel pump nowadays. Worst thing is that it makes these hard to diagnose when you don't have anyone to help you, you only...

The interior of my K5 is stripped down to nothing, which makes it very easy to fit these 2 small waterproof camping mattresses i have back there. Wish there were more room, but me and my GF are both about 6' tall (i'm a very tall eskimo LOL) and we fit back there perfectly.

I don't think it will make or break your build up, unless you were going for all out performance. All in all, a set of old 6.2 heads with the stronger rocker stuff and some diamond precups wouldn't make for a bad setup :D

On my 2500HD, i used to have this rattle and the front end would feel sloppy, i'd even get a slight popping noise from time to time. I thought it was balljoints, pitman and idler arms, control arm bushings, etc...until i got to the torsion bar crossmember and noticed that my drivers side mount...

Got anymore pics of the down pipe? Its the only thing I'm worried about with my turbo setup. I've been considering a 1.5 or 2" body lift to fit better but would rather not add extra height.

With everyTPS I've ever come across, it should read 0-0.5V at idle and 4.5-5V at WOT.

I was curious about this, because i have my 5079 pump in a box near my feet and i'm gonna do a refresh to it. I don't think i want to mess with them though. I'll probably turn the fuel screw down 1/8th until turbo time though.

They used less nickel in the block casting apparently. Not sure how much less but that's what i hearz on teh interwebz :D

I believe 82 only had the redblock, i wish i did LOL

AFAIK it's was all original when i got it. The PO's might have changed it at some point but not since i've had it. The truck is highly optioned though (power w/l, cruise control, A/C, tilt steering, carpet, headliner, brushed aluminum trim, full door panels,etc.) so it might have come with that...

Based on the year it should be, but you never know what engine was chosen by the RV manufacturer anyway. It was the first year they were introduced and might not have made their way to the RV manufacturer by that point.

To me it sounds like it was running rich, fuel started collecting in the catalytic converter and is burning up in the cat. So it sounds like a new cat will be necessary. I'd also change your fuel filters, do a tune-up, change o2 sensors, knock sensor(s) and then see how the truck feels. To me it...

Do these trucks use fusible links in the wiring coming off the starter up to the ignition and alternator? I know on my 83 K5 i blew a fusible link trying to crank it when my lift pump died. I had no power in any of the accessories, even the emergency flashers...I just put 14g wiring in it's...

Looks much better!

I spent $450 on a set of new Stanadyne injectors. I didn't have a place to have them pop tested but i liked the piece of mind of having a brand new set to rebuild as many times as i can, plus it's the company who makes our pumps so i figured they had to be good LOL

Sounds like it could be air in the coolant. I know my 98 gasser would make a similar wooshing sound when i had a bad intake gasket (different motors but same symptoms). The RPM fluctuations could be a possible headgasket issue, not sure how the computer controlled engines handle coolant bubbles.

So you can basically melt her into the seat with the d-max, then immediately introduce her to the dash all within seconds :D

The fear of breaking a glow plug tip off is why it took me so long to get around to actually replacing mine last fall. Now i don't worry about, even though i hadn't touched them almost the entire fall/winter, i was able to take all 8 plugs out in 10 minutes. Thanks to anti-seize :D

That's awesome! Thanks :D
