The 1987 C10 Silverado FINALLY Runs! (Fixing The Fueling System)

In this video, we troubleshoot the fueling system of the 1987 Chevrolet C10 "square body", as no fuel was making its way to the injectors. We replace the fuel pumps, fuel tanks, fuel pump relay, filter and sending units. Finally we get the old Chevy 350 to run on its own, for the first time in roughly 15 years!

[@wildestcowboy2668]

[@frankiealbritton9381]

Same here, just bought a 1994gmc one ton van have in same problem hope I can get it fixed 😜

[@jb9189]

I got the same thing going on, don’t let it stop you!!!

[@jb9189]

I have fuel coming out of my hose but not coming through the injector. Best place to start is by taking off the cradle for injectors and seeing if you have fuel coming out of your hose. Next test pressure then injectors. After that there’s nothin to it. Good luck!

[@brandonbaker8584]

Yesssss. Def giving like this. Aggrevatwd with my own truck. Looking for answers yall just made my day. Thank you. Real life back yard mechanics this is how it really is folks. Thank you.

[@jordanbyrd396]

Omg 😂 the part where your boy tried to take the fuel tank guard down and got blasted was so funny , and I felt for him cause I have been in that situation multiple times lol good video and really good info ! Keep it up brother !

[@dsmmonster]

The Noid lights it’s to check injector pulsations not spark..

[@mr.m.3280]

Love the front bumper... I'll buy if you plan on replacing it

[@scottd345]

LMC is gold. O'Reilly or NAPA and Auto Zone as last choice. As you said, whoever sponsors you

[@abelluna7024]

Could you maybe share a link to buy the fuel tanks

[@cactusjack6688]

13:17 I have a 5.7 350 and makes that annoying squeak I already replaced the band and some of the pulleys and still makes that noise have y’all fix it and if yes how did y’all get it fixed?

[@mountainwolf1]

My 87 chevy v10 5.7 had a crank but no start aswell turned out to be the distributor i replaced was timed wrong. I was in a hurry and put it at the wrong degree that was the first distributor i ever did.

[@Gettinbentoffroad]

Don't put the old shield back on, as you witnessed they hold alot of crao which leads to your tanks rusting out.

[@LouisMorgan-jg7or]

Just bought a 85 c10 Silverado seems to lose prime overnight. Other than that it's good. Has cold AC Mines carbureted

[@TymFineWithMe]

..at the end of the video, I was really wondering what a toast wrap was.

[@tacoloco904]

I only watched half, but I ld bet the house that it was the ground wire for the tanks ya? And Pep Boys never gets a mention or any love

[@FrugalPandaTravels]

Pep boys was my spot until they went out of business in the Denver area.

[@MOE13576]

My 91 tbi was converted to carb(previous owner)..im pretty sure thats causing my fuel pump to not trun on..on my ls swap 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@justusrosas502]

Autozone and advance is my favorite, but I choose autozone mostly

[@marcopatino2288]

Update please!

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

This video isn't doing well enough to constitute an update, but I will put one together when the truck gets further along! Right now it's running and (sort of) driving. We're going to take the tranny out to diagnose a leak, and then we'll get it registered and on the road!

[@wildestcowboy2668]

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy Son I know u just doing videos for the utube money and that's ok but take this from a 45yr old ase master certified tech if you aren't, never buy an auto that's been sitting. Yes Uncle Bob got one put a battery in it and drove it for 20years and never raised da hood........

[@travistate2468]

You better blow out all them fuel lines b4 you start that truck

[@wildestcowboy2668]

Why do you say that for?

[@dirtydownsouthmobilecarwas3935]

I need updates lol

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

We trailered the truck to a new location, where we're trying to get a title for it- difficult in MA. It does run and (sort of) drive on its own power! I'm going to do an update video, but it might not be for a bit until we have the title figure out.

[@retro80hd]

Any updates?

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Updates coming later this spring. Dan has done a LOT to the truck. It’s running and driving on the road now, but he’s in the middle of interior work and some rust repair.

[@DavidBuckler-bg1qn]

[@travistate2468]

You guys are clueless lol

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Well of course, we’re inexperienced and this is how you learn. You were clueless once, too.

[@mountainwolf1]

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy 🤣🤣 i taught myself how to work on my 87 and fixed it when a certified mechanic couldn't. Now i can do donuts on me and my wife's ranch if i want to.

[@zonamade3380]

@@mountainwolf1 just fixed mine, did a sick burnout before it started stalling. Just gotta fix the broken factory fuel pump, only using the Holley one that’s pushing through the old one. I was surprised how strong the 350 was, so eager to go full throttle

[@mountainwolf1]

@@zonamade3380 brutal i do pretty much all the work on my chevy i love that truck. I too replaced the fuel pump on my other 84 c10 305 scottsdale its not that hard believe it or not. On a 87 v10 350 tbi it's a sending unit which i also replaced with a new tank in the dirt in the desert. Some mechanic was going to charge me $2000 for the sending unit replacement i paid $250 for a tank+unit and did it myself. Stay strong and keep that chevy driving big dawg✌

[@zonamade3380]

@@mountainwolf1 wow 2k smh gotta save that for performance parts. I think I can manage, not trying to pay the man either. Got enough brain cells to do it haha thank you for the info

[@marthagomez7335]

I bought a new gasoline pump from auto zone and it was defective. Auto zone sells cheap parts.

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Agreed 100%. But I also think all parts stores sell their cheap “store-brand” parts.

[@marthagomez7335]

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy the parts are cheap in quality but not in cost

Next time buy Delphi. That's the same company as made the original
