Had time and motivation enough to install my ORD steering brace. Test drive tomorrow will tell if it improves the steering feel any or just wards off the crack gremlins

Whenever I weave up a new whole wiring harness, I find it helps bigly to have a 4x8 sheet of plywood and saw horses to lay out the old harness section and remove one wire at a time and recreate a new harness side by side.

Some states/localities require a visual inspection of emissions equipment. The cold air duct and the early fuel evaporation (EFE) systems that are usually incorporated into the intake do affect emissions and are an easy fail if it looks like its missing. All cucvs look like the intake ducts are...

The battery situation is how I got it from the P.O. The trays are original. The P.O. cut away most of the original huge hold down top brackets to just those two strips with some inner tube rubber isolators. They hold pretty good so I haven't messed with them...yet.

Added a 4" cold air intake tube. Summit parts. Made a better drink holder. My fav water thermos wont fit these stupid square cup holders. Haven't found a fire extinguisher I like for the mount spot, so I fabbed up a little tray out of 16g stainless. Some psa foam in the bottom and some...

Finally got around to hooking up a cigarette lighter/power point. Junk yard score. While I was under there, I found a courtesy light fixture. Installed bulb to make it functional off the headlight switch dome position, obviously. Mounted up a cheap fan. Its been record heat here this week. Fan...

I just read through this whole thread...:doh: scottladdy said it best. Back in the day, my 1980 Blazer (350/TH350/NP205) had this strut rod. At the time I was a tech at a chevy dealer and many K trucks coming through the shop had these braces. 205's, 203's, and 208's. Did a few dealer...

No, Mine were gone when I got it

Pretty stout 4WD. Perfectly competent and reliable with Maintenance and common sense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW88X6UmiOo

Yeah, mine has the same problem. Got to get around to re-sealing that yoke myself

There were some switches in there that controlled the backout drive features. The switches need to be present and working, or bypassed with a few jumper wires in order for lights to work on the truck

One of the minor annoyances since I bought this truck has been the incorrect speedo reading. I have stock axle ratios and 31 inch tires. Its way fast. Checked it with phone/GPS and it was 10MPH fast at 25 and got worse. 19 off at 50(reading 69) Did some searching on here and saw a lot of...

Are your blackout light switches installed? Removed? Bypassed? Mine were missing from a PO and was the source of my taillight woes. The connector/bypass was missing one jumper wire.

Slowly drilling down on the loose steering/wandering issue. Steering feel is very light and loose when centered. Falls off easily to either side from road imperfections. All in all, it's more of a handful to keep straight than it should be. Especially since it only has 15K miles on it...

Are you running LED bulbs by any chance? Are your blackout switches still installed and functional? Or are they removed/bypassed with jumper wires in the harness sockets?

It was a random sportmans guide offering some years back. They had these inner cans that held the stew

Gear tray/jerry can mount... Recovery equipment in a 1989 german insulated food can. No rattles. Cell phone pocket LED magnetic dome light.

FLIRone thermal camera plug in for smartphone.

I'll take it. That mount tray/bracket that's bolted to the rack...is it military, or something someone fabbed up? If its not for a specific radio, you can leave that off if it makes it easier to ship.
