  1. So I searched old posts but couldn't find what I needed. All of a sudden last night I had my heat on the floor vent but noticed only cold air coming out and the heat was coming out of the defrost. I'm not sure what's going on. My truck is an 03 and I've never had this issue before. Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks fellas.

  2. Another thing that will greatly help, install the Vette 2nd servo combined with the Superior/Fairbanks 4th/OD billet servo, that will assure max band holding towing in OD. Completely plug the 3rd accumulator passage totally, block it off (it will hit 3rd as hard as the OE 1-2 apply, it's just right!). On the 3/4 stackup, USE STOCK THICKNESS STEELS, if you use thinner steels in the 4L60/700R4 you will burn it up asap. Use the 700R4 pedestal to make more room and get an additional steel & friction in the 3/4 stackup. Do spend the extra $15 and use the carbon band, they're awesome - do NOT use carbon frictions in the clutch disks, we have had poor life from them (ironically) stick with Raybestos Blue Plates. Do spend the extra $55 and sleeve the drum, also install the Sonnax check ball kit too, do everything possible to eliminate the centrifugal apply problem. That ought to make a unit that can tow in OD - the aftermarket lockup clutch is the least of your worries making a 4L60 that can seriously tow in 4th/OD without glazing the frictions.

    Don't forget, the brakes in these trucks are CRAP for towing, so if you install any aftermarket converter you can be assured any engine braking will be lost and you need to have trailer brakes and/or a serious truck brake upgrade.

    This totally just blew my mind! I am in the planning stages if a cam/shift kit/torque converter upgrade. I tow a 14' enclosed triler a few times a month so I want to retain my ability to tow but I want to wake this beast up! I honestly have no clue where to start with the cam/converter combo. The shift kit I'm reading up on. Any help/recomendations would be awesome!

  3. So I've got these ugly tail lights that were on the truck when I bought it. Should I take them apart and paint the chrome part black and then smoke the lens or just buy a set if stock tails? Help me out fellas.

     

    The pic wouldn't load so here is a link for a set nearly identically to mine

  5. Hey fellas. I just bought a 1981 c10 longbed 2wd for a work truck. I only paid $800 for it so it has a few issues. The main ones that are giving me trouble are signal lights, backup lights, and dash lights. I can't find any good wiring diagrams to help me out. Does anybody know of a good website or maybe even someone who works on these trucks a lot that could help me? Thanks guys. I'll post a pick tomorrow. She's ugly but she's got a 350 with a th400 tranny.

  6. I have an avic-d2 and it needs repair or maybe a refurb. The touchscreen isnt working on the right side. Have any of ya'll had your avic repaired or refurbished? I have no idea how much it will cost. Anybody got any experience with this? Thanks fellas. BB
