Where can I find the rocker panels on a 85

I was wondering where I could get some rocker panels for a 85 IROC

hi there,do you think it is posible to just reseal the tail cover without taking the hole transfer case off the tranny? i apreciate your answer,i am going to start working on my 2005 chevy silverado 2500 and i liked your video,thank you,god bless you

I hope nobody is watching this video these days and taking the info as correct - The IROC package isn't just decals and wheels. The B4Z RPO that made a Z28 into an IROC-Z automatically changed suspension - shock type and sway bar diameter, steering ratio and more in addition to the decals and wheels; as in '87 well you couldn't get the 5.7 TPI(RPO L98) in a normal Z28, only in an IROC-Z. Prior to '87 there was no 5.7 in any 3rd gen Camaro and '88-90 the normal Z28 didn't exist.

Good to see you again that really sucks with the rv. I had a dozen things that could have been fixed on mice but I wasnt going to loose my motorhome for a long time ang get more crap work work done I fixed it and its right really sad mine was new off the assembly line never sat on the lot because we ordered it they obviously dont care and thats sad. I got a crimper like that too when I installed my inverter and batteries it is cool and works so nice. Glad to see your ok and I hope you get the rv sorted out we are camping right now lol beautiful weather for it I hope you get to enjoy it soon

CAN I REMOVE MY TRANSFER CASE NP8 FROM MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE FOREVER ? IF SO WHAT DO I NEED 1 HAVE 3 AND NEED TO USE THEM AS LIMOUSINES 4X4 NOT NEEDED

Good to see another video BIG DAWG!!

Glad that you're back!

Smitty, glad to see you made it through the hurricanes. Cool that you got a new camper. Hopefully, you can get the little issues straightened out with the dealer. You seem to be doing alright, which is great to hear. I'm down for any videos you post of whatever you got going on. Good to hear from ya.

The 87 TPI 5.7 Liter did have a 5 Speed... 1st Year... I had one

Thank you for this video series.

Great video and instructions! Thanks!

Very nice video Smitty thank you for going to the trouble to do it .

On the back half of the casing there is almost a screw type thing do you know what its called

sounds like a real idiot if painting over a model sticker without a care in the world. Guaranteed he did not properly prep/clean the surface prior to painting it

Quick question. Can you put that reluctor wheel on backwards? Just rebuilt one and now the Speedo isn’t working. Hoping I just damaged the sensor. Your videos were a ton of help.

5w30 in mine for years on my Duramax

I bought that same blind bushing puller kit from scamazon. I had to take all the expanding dies to work and turn them on the lathe. The land that pulls on the bushings is too thick and it’s got a taper to it so it won’t fit well in the tighter spots and the ones it did fit in it just slipped off because the damn die just bent where the center rod flexes the head out. They work great with a flat land and about .060 faced off the bottom.

Good luck brother

Much appreciated!

Hey Smitty, hope you're keeping well and this message reaches you. I had a full rebuild of the 700R4 in my 89 IROC-Z. It seems like it's revving at higher RPM to achieve 70 mph in overdrive. I have 2.77 rear end and think I used to be at 70 mph at 2000 rpm but now when I'm doing 2000 rpm I seem to be at about 65 mph. Is that possible? Surely there are only one set of cogs for overdrive in a 700R4? Thanks!

thanks for the help man i have a 4L80E in my 3500 6.5 diesel

I've found the easiest way to pull the front seal out is with a slide hammer with a screw.

Maybe there was an issue with the contacts in the connector. Worth trying a little QD cleaner and dielectric grease before ordering a new cluster.

Which rebuild kits are you buying? There’s so many 😂

What the pressure plate and apply plate thickness?

Where do you buy your rear case half’s from?

Can you use the direct clutch wave plate on the forward drum? My wave plate on the forward pack was cracked clean through in one spot. It almost looked like the direct wave plate in this vid

One side of the clip that holds the tcc or pc solenoid broke on mine. Whould that be why it hesitates after I put it in D then finally starts moving? The rpm’s will rise but dousing start moving for a few seconds

Sooooo, thanks for the clarification; I went back to swap a piston in that 3rd gear clutch, and it helped aplenty to make sure the steels were in the right clutch. They're about .020 thicker in the 3rd than they are in the direct. I wish there was a apet-by-part install vid. I bought a thrust washer kit and had plastic "selectables" left over and a whole piston that I have no idea where it goes.....feel like I missed something? But thanks for the video; very, very helpful 💪🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

pre-gritted for your pleasure.

Very helpful

For someone that is going to do this once, you still recommend pressing the pump bushings in or can they be driven by hand?

I just tore my 80 down and my sprag was pretty chewed up. Looked like it heated up the bore and caused the sealing rings to fail and burnt both the intermediate and forward clutches. I’m on the hunt for a new direct drum assembly. Rest of the trans looks mint.

hey brother. i just bougt a 92 camaro i just found this channel and i will be watching closely as i restore mine little by little. i thank you for sharing your knowledge for those of us who have little or none. thank you for your help in advance!!👍🏿👍🏿

Does this mod make full time lube to rear planet? Think ima go this route as well. Thanks Much for info. Subscribed!

Can I get this parts list and where you got it I’m tearing my 263hd down today

The perfect video sir! I think this saved my gate and my patience. I tested the voltage like you did on that transformer and I'm getting 73 volts so I assume mine crapped the bed. Symptoms were massive close lightning strike today, smoke alarms in the house even squelched a bit from it. Gate stopped working. Fuse is good, green power light on the board on, transformer has a green indicator light and when you push the reset button on the outside box lower right you get the reset light to light up. Other than that, NOTHING on the board works as far as pushing buttons or indicator lights. Not sure if I pushed that button to the right of center that you kept pushing to get the blinking during your tests but I'll test that tomorrow morning. Good voltage to the batteries, good incoming current to the transformer and the pannel but nothing. I'll start with a new transformer.

What an excellent video series! Thank you very much for this video and the other parts!

Where can I get these parts?

how is shift feel with these pistons

wind the scarf cut rings tight (smaller) and they will hug the shaft and not flar out.

no notch on the servo steel cover plate?

Very informative and educational and I thank you very much for the information. However I do not have the same taste in music and I gave me a headache.

So you had the sizer upside down in the beginning lol.

Hey man great video, i wanted to ask if a wrong assembly on the forward clutch pack could cause the low reverse cultch to burn, if somebody could help me pls

You sure didn’t spend no time on this subject mine is a new cage but when it came apart the bearings tops and bottoms were ate up it was open tcc solenoid and I still ain’t figured out why but it smoked forward spray and bearings

Thank you for the video!!

Hi, good vid though i don't know why you make band adjustment with no pump in. You can see the drum/ shaft move when you apply air. Have you thought about checking after you set the servo shaft length with the tool and pump in, also fit the 4th cover and snap then use dial indicator to cover see how much the cover moves in away from snap ring at rest. This is how I set my transmissions. I have found too long I won't get the snap in and if it just rolls in without force its dam near right.. Plus backyard builders would benefit with such knowledge. more than 1 way to skin a cat.
