Blocked off cowl drain, to many leaves and the fan sucking them in and blowing into the AC box apparently into the resistor and creating ambers.
I haven't been consistent on cleaning out the cowl....

That's crazy!  Glad it turned out okay!

What you did to fix that needs to be in the Technical Pages Section.  That affects every square owner on here.

Don't give up.  Just upload the pics to here.  Gotta make em less than 500k  I feel your pain.  It's better than linking.  back in the day I used photobucket before they broke the entire internet.  I had hundreds of pictures linked on here.  they're all gone.  all i have left is what I've uploaded directly to this site.  I recommend doing that.  it will last in the long run.

Don't give up man!  We wanna see what you're doing!

Engine/Drivetrain / Re: SM 465 to NV4500 Question
« Last post by Shifty on July 08, 2026, 10:49:16 am »
I don't have answers, as I'm facing the same problem.  The only two ways I can see to go is a Gear Vendor overdrive, and/or an early 4l80e out of GMT400 4x4 that will work with my NP208.

Engine/Drivetrain / SM 465 to NV4500 Question
« Last post by Mike81K10 on July 07, 2026, 10:42:19 pm »
Will the NV4500 directly swap with the SM465 (have an NP205 transfer case)? Will the transmission cover in cab work with the shifter location or will it have to be relocated? Will the driveshaft have to be modified or will it work? Will the NV4500 be good for the highway? It was a while since I drove my truck and when I had it on the highway with my 383 stroker, it just needs top end assistance. Winding out and not getting the performance with the SM465. Is not good for highway? I never had a problem with my stock 350 or just didn't realize a problem in the past.

I want to keep a manual transmission! I think an automatic may be too much trouble!

The OP hasn't been back on the forum since he posted the thread in August 2021. 

What year/model truck?  What engine?  Carbureted or injected?  Naturally aspirated or forced induction?  Have you tried Vile's suggestion yet?

Found this old video to show my setup.  There is swearing in the video

When you rebuild your gauges and want the needle color to match, Use Testors model paint Fluorescent Orange #1173
