What new tools have you got lately?
Pulled the trigger on a couple of things I've wanted for a while. Got the beam addition for my Daytona jack. Better support for lifting the unibody cars along with some rubber pinch-weld protector pucks. Finally bought a nice set of drill bits, Norseman fractional and numbered sets from... -

What new tools have you got lately?
Picked up a Makita 3/8 corded drill to add to the collection. It will replace the Skil I've had for decades (it's made in the USA so that should tell you it's pretty old.) Haven't used it yet, but I've already replaced the 8 foot- 18 awg cord the Makita came with by installing a 19 foot-16 awg... -
Suburban leaf spring choice - sagging rear - question on stock ride height
GM Heritage lists an overall height of 73.8" for the op's vehicle but doesn't say where on the roof line that measurement was taken. A useless number considering even non-stock tire size will affect the results.- skysurfer

Bowtie 2500 Fender Emblems
I have the two emblems from my ‘89 Suburban. They are oem and in good condition. They were removed for paint and never reinstalled. They still have the clip nubs on the back but they could be cut off to simplify installation with tape/glue. A flat rate padded envelope is about $10 so that’s what... -
Any black two tone trucks out there?
My long-gone ‘84 Scotty. Kinda wish I still had it, but didn’t like the 305 700r4 powertrain. -
Free Rear Bumper for your Chevy/GMC with Steelcraft Front Purchase
Typical clueless vendor, advertising a bumper sale on GMSB but not offering anything for squares. You suck Carid. -

What new tools have you got lately?
I’ve been thinking about a new 1/4” ratchet for a while and HF emailed a 20% coupon for Icon tools so I picked one up. I chose the swivel head version after looking at the different models on the shelf and it feels pretty slick compared to my old Craftsman ratchet. I’ll keep the Craftsman... -
R12 Replacement
My buddy has been the owner of a HVAC business for thirty years and recharged his ‘90 burb’s r12 system with r409. It’s not certified for auto ac, but is a suitable replacement for r12 in commercial low-temp equipment. It was MUCH colder than r134 and you could see visible frost blowing out of... -
Should my TBI's fuel pressure act like this?
Figured it was easier to film it than explain in text. Engine was cold but had been started a minute earlier while I tried to get the correct lighting. Gauge is attached to an Aeromotive 13301 regulator and supplied by a Walbro pump.- skysurfer

What new tools have you got lately?
Do yourself a favor and spend a few of the dollars you saved on one of Harbor Freight’s flat-free wheelbarrow tires. Wheelbarrows tend to sit unused and forgotten for months (or years) at a time and always seem to have a flat when you need them. If you’ve ever tried to inflate one that has... -
4L80 on FB Market Place
Hey Nick, just to educate the uninformed (me), what do you figure it would take cost-wise to have someone rebuild a 4L80 with 350k miles and add a quality stand-alone controller?- skysurfer
