    LMC truck has the wrong window regulator rollers....

    You're welcome, glad it was useful information! It just sucks when you go to order an item, the website/book shows the right item you need---but then when it arrives it is wrong!! Aggravating, but then I saw there was no other option, so my only option was to modify it. A little more work, but...

    Truck cover

    This is the same thing I am looking into also now. My 4-car garage has NO room for my 51 Ford Truck project I wanted to do over the winter months. So, as shameful as it sounds I think I may park my dually outside on some wood planks, and throw a cover over it. What is a GOOD heavy duty cover...

    What year tailgate is this??

    Well that's good to know! Man, if I keep this up I'll have a song similar to Johnny Cash, except about a squarebody :Big Laugh:

    What year tailgate is this??

    @bucket @TotalyHucked @HotWheelsBurban My fricken brain hurts after gaining all that knowledge from reading your posts!! Holy crap---did GM keep anything the same besides their exterior sheetmetal design! I'll get some underhood pictures for you and post them up, hopefully soon, because I am...

    What year tailgate is this??

    Well....dam. The person I got the blue one from used the hardware, hence why it's not on there. I like the patina on the blue one, it matches the rest of my truck so maybe I'll look for that hardware. Here is the hood I got, very nice one too. I'm unsure of year, looks like an early one...

    What year tailgate is this??

    When you say pegs are you talking those finger gizmos at the top of the green tailgate that align it to the top rear of the fender? Or the peg that holds the pivoting bracket? I honestly don't know what either are technically called, so I am making up my own words here :p That green gate came...

    What year tailgate is this??

    Gents, I picked up a tailgate and hood, near the same blue as my dually, tonight I'd planned on putting on the gate, however I soon noticed my parts from my green tailgate won't work on the blue one. The blue one doesn't have those upper alignment fingers, and it looks like it had the release...

    2001 Suburban 3/4 Ton oil block off plate

    Welp, I slept on it....said screw it, I will put in the new oil lines....I had a feeling I shouldn't take the easy way and block it off, which for my 99 Classis OBS was fine, but I'm not experienced enough with a 6.0 to feel comfortable doing that. Elbow deep in grease now, can't think of...

    2001 Suburban 3/4 Ton oil block off plate

    The rubber itself is wet and compromised now because I tried taking them off this past Sunday and jad to really force it to move it and then got to the point I ran out of time so I put them back on because they would not come out without dropping the front diff from it.... One line at the crimp...

    2001 Suburban 3/4 Ton oil block off plate

    Gents!! Curious to know if an oil block off plate on my 3/4 ton 6.0 would hurt anything?? For towing, I pull our 34 foot camper and the longest trip is typically around 300 miles one way, once per year...other trips are a lot closer. Other than that, it's just driven with no pulling. Other...

    Pulling Sucks--2001 Suburban 3/4 ton--6.0

    Well it is camping season! I parked the dumb thing over the winter and did not work on it, nor drive it. I worked on my Dually instead :p I dreaded pulling the camper home, had my foot into it against a heavy head wind. Had her in 3rd gear and let it buck as you guys said--I no longer run the...

    TH400--Steel Transmission Lines VS Flexible

    I wanted to do that also, but with the combo I was after a couple of people including my transmission guy said I would've destroyed the transmission due to the torque, and weight of my truck. I really wanted to run a Muncie Rock Crusher 4-speed and Hurst shifter, would've been fun as heck! I...
