It's not illegal for the manufacturer to void the warranty if the owner of the vehicle modified it. The main point of any manufacturer's warranty is to repair defects in materials or workmanship. How is a failure due to any modifications the manufacturer's fault? It's pretty clearly written...

Chevy did have the same 5th gear nut issue. The external slave system is workable as is, but since the slave is on the passenger side in a '92 truck it puts it real close to the squarebody front driveshaft at full compression. I've seen some use the stock '92 bell housing without any issue...

Many of the local tuners here in Colorado have quit doing the delete gig. I know it won't stop though. Yes, the major players and local shops will be forced to stop. But what's going to happen is this business will go underground. Guys that have some ability with software like HPTuners or...

Good looking setup!

I've enjoyed the build so far. I like seeing how others take on certain challenges and work around them.

Yep the 4500 is a 32 spline output. 241's could be had with 27 or 32 spline input, same for the 208's and obviously the 205 could be had either way with 27 or 32 spline input. For the 205 you will need to find the later (and rarer) round pattern case that will bolt right up to the 4500. An...

Keep this in mind about the 4500 when swapping with a factory 465 Muncie. They are the same length from the front of the trans to the t-case mounting flange. When used with a round pattern 241 t-case that the op's '90 Jimmy would have originally, it's practically a bolt in affair that won't...

As they say, a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. ?

I picked up a 4500 for my square. Horse traded for it with a 4l80e I had a few hundred in. I've got a fellow square body buddy in Denver that finds them regularly in pick and pull yards for $200 or less. I think at any given time he has two on hand. I'm picking up one from him tomorrow for...

Good score. Base model 1sa truck. Rubber floor too? 4.10's should keep the 350 in the sweet spot.

I watched the video. Pretty obvious you are good at what you do when it comes to recording video and editing. I'm usually a little skeptical of the whole brand ambassador/sponsored build deal, but the first video to me didn't feel like you wrote a check and viola truck was built by somebody...

I did Hell's this last September for Blazer Bash with my K5/FWC camper combo. Granted my Wheelbase is radically shorter than a crew cab waggy, but we did have a couple long box K30 trucks out there with us. Previous years the ringleader was driving a K30 crewcab long box. So I'd say Hell's...

Nice payoff to the build! We did Hells Revenge in September when we attended Blazer Bash. Such a fun trail that had us questioning physics and grip on many of the climbs. Nothing like seeing only sky out the windshield to get the blood pumping. I was astonished how crazy the grip was. So...

I had given the idea of deeper gears a thought. It would keep the engine more in its torque curve. But then an 8.1 kinda fell in my lap and I horse traded for an nv4500 5-speed trans. So brute force for the solution. Sheet metal from LMC is cheap and falls under the get what you pay for...

Not many go searching for the right speedometer gear to correct for cable driven speedos when gearing and tires sizes get changed on these trucks. More common to have an error for larger tires or gear ratio changes. 90-91 trucks it's pretty easy like mine. Crack open the DRAC module, do the...

I'm a nerd for numbers when it comes to my truck. Granted, it's a K5 Blazer vs a Suburban but it's tipping the scales closer to a Burb now with the camper and gear inside. I can totally attest to aero and headwind having a major effect on mileage in my square. My K5 is running a 5.3L Vortec...

There are ways to get the goals but one has to be realistic about the mileage. The TBI 350's were perfectly adequate but get underpowered quickly when running 1-ton axles and the amount of weight one can carry in a Burb. Unless recently replaced the 350 in most are going to have many miles on...

I've got a buddy with an 84 suburban we are swapping this exact drivetrain into actually. L29 with a 4l80e. I sold him the trans and it is a 98 that lacks the tone ring for the rear sensor. Most of what I've found is the later 4wd versions of the 80e dropped the rear sensor for the VSS sensor...

Squarebody nut here. If you have the ability and time, buy both, swap the drivetrain minus the IFS and drivers side drop t-case. The L29 Vortec 454 is a stellar engine for torque and way undervalued with everybody going nuts on LS swaps. Granted fuel economy sucks but as I can say from direct...

Looks fairly stock as the suspension goes. Without doing some type of lift the 35's are going to rub up front. Nitro-rat is right on the money for the suggestion of 2" tough country springs and the ORD shackle flip out back. I'm running 315/75-16 tires with 4" springs up front and a 4" ORD...
