    Rear glass sash rubber

    Thanks. Do you think the RTV is helpful or just go with the rubber? I do have RTV on hand but not urethane and I know its expensive.

    LS regasket question

    So i got around to doing the covers and the oil pan. The pan was the most finnicky for some reason. I put a healthy glob of rtv in the corners, checked, rechecked and torqued down. Then checked again, and somehow it had moved just out of spec. So i had to back off the bolts and readjust to my...

    Rear glass sash rubber

    Thanks saltdog. My fear is the glass will pop out of the sash due to the older components and just the reputation the tailgates have for friction and not working well. I plan on going manual but its just not in the cards this year and i need it “functional” at least with a cordless drill to be...

    Rear glass sash rubber

    Hey guys, tearing into my k5 tailgate, the rear glass sash is completely gone. I found a replacement and the rubber strip that holds the glass into the sash. Apparently you form the rubber around the glass and then press or gently tap the glass into the sash with a mallet. I am skeptical...

    LS regasket question

    Ok no worries. Decided to take everything off. Trying to not make a mess. Does anyone know if the flexplate bolts are reusable? I see no mention of it in Chiltons.

    Floor and rocker options

    Awesome, thanks for the pics. I am a decent welder and work with sheet metal so I think I can bend up some hat channel and weld it in place and fill the holes as well. Do they sit on the frame or no?

    LS regasket question

    I see you removed both covers and the pan at the same time. Wondering if i should remove and reinstall my front and rear covers while leaving the pan untouched. THEN do the pan last. Thoughts?

    Floor and rocker options

    TotallyHucked, you dont happen to know what the underneath of the back floor (bed) and the step-up from the front floors is supposed to look like? For more context, my rear floor looks like its been replaced but is loaded with bolts. The step-up is as well. Underneath the rear floor is cross...

    What are we doing about this area? Are people making their own panels or is something else available?

Amazon stuff like this i am always skeptical about...

    LS regasket question

    Hey guys I have a 2004 5.3 LM7 that I want to regasket the oil pan, timing cover and rear main seal. I know they align with eachother and I have the timing cover tool. Wondering if its better to do this in a certain order, such as, covers first, then oil pan, or vise versa. Or should I just take...
