This thread is about 6 months late for me. I just scrapped what was left of the supercab donor for my SC. Nobody wanted it!!! I tossed a LOT of stuff and the only taker I could find was a scrapper. The old 390 still ran althought it had a really bad oil leak and it took a case of oil to get it...

Update: The starter was still dragging but not every time. I replaced the positive battery cable in Advanced Auto parking lot and the guy walked out and asked me what was wrong. I told him the starter was staying engaged and he just shrugged and told me I have it installed too close to...

Yeah I pulled a bonehead move and had the ignition and the starter wires swapped on the solenoid. I was about to change the key switch on the cab when I looked at it again and figured out what I had done.Thanks for the reply and letting a bonehead like me hang around!!

Changed the selonoid and starter. It cranks and starts but the starter drags. Any ideas?

I just got home from being stranded. Went to the county line to get some beer and when I got back in the truck it would click and make a faint squealing noise. Solonoid (sp?) right? I'm going to pick up a new one and go swap it out in the morning.

I've always checked the alt by pulling the battery cables while it was running. If the motor died it was a sign that the alt could be bad. It could be the wrong thing to do but it's always worked for me...

I had a 192 in it but on the dummy gauge it showed to be running pretty dang hot so I went to swap and just left it out all together. I hope this weekend to put a 192 in and call it done.

Sorry for the delay in reply, work has been crazy. I didnt have a tape to measure today when I went to swap cars out but I did snap a couple pictures as I was pulling up to stop lights.

Hey guys I have another question for you (imagine that, ME having a question). On my doors I have noticed the gap the window sits in is much bigger than what it should be. I havent taken it apart and looked inside the door but was wondering if there was a bolt or bolts that pull one side of the...

Then I bet mine is closer to 140"Mines been chopped

It's acutally shorter than 155" since one of the PO cut it from a long wheel base to be a short wheel base. I don't know that it even measures out the same as a swb SC does. I like the look of it though.

Ah... thanks for the info gents!! What's funny is I used to tell people I knew a lot about these old trucks.Now I know I dont know my butt from a hole in the ground :D

That is one NICE SC man.

I had a 180 in there and it ran a little warm on the dash gauge (cant get the temp sensor out to but the new temp gauge thermometer in the spot). I pulled it and went without a stat.Why would you stay to not go with a 160? It's only running a little on the warm side and when summer hits...

Ok I was reading up on the fan clutch that was posted a day or two ago since my truck has been running a little on the warm side. I was thinking about doing the 3g upgrade and then the Mark 8 fan upgrade but after some searching and reading I may need to stick to my clutch fan set up.I...
