    Vehicle Hauling Question

    You can always get quotes from any of the online brokers like the uship places. I’ve done that and had to wade through the fake quotes and flaky drivers. Thats how I got the dude I use. He seemed like a straight shooter and was, so now use him directly. Jerry Davis 754-229-2418. He’s very...

    Vehicle Hauling Question

    Can give you a number for a broker I’ve used a couple times but also it will be far more expensive to haul a non running vehicle. You’ll basically have to pay for the whole load with a hotshot driver. It’ll be a bit better if it’s a truck or something that can be winched up onto a gooseneck...

    Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?

    That’s a great deal in recent years. Even if you provided your own mufflers. Bummer as Midas down here, 2 different stores told me they weren’t interested in “custom” work.

    Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?

    @ChuckN, you must have a good custom exhaust shop near you or haven’t been to one in a while. I don’t believe in Western WA, a new welded exhaust (single exhaust) front to back can be had for “way less than $1k”. Be lucky to get out the door for a grand. And duals guaranteed to be well over...

    Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?

    This is what you need! Well under $1000, although it did require a little welding… Just kidding… If you just have a stock low hp truck and aren’t after fast or loud, then the solution is easy. But first, gotta know if the existing system is solid or rusted out. If it’s solid, fix the...

    question about gmc vs chevy

    I thought the ‘86 was a Chevy when I bought it. Badges had all been changed to Chebbie. Couple months later I removed the tailgate trim panel to reveal an original tailgate stamped GMC! Then took a closer look at the title and realized I got a “higher level” truck! Lol

    New GMC Owner with shifting troubles

    If you can’t get it from the front and can’t see it from the back, then it might take a while…

    Multiple Battery types and the danger of diode damage with modern batteries mixed with Lead Acid and OEM alternators.

    @RanchWelder maybe I’m the only one confused what you’re trying to accomplish or what you are using the batteries for. Aside from the one question “What works in your boat or motorhome?” anyways. In general, idk why one would use Lifepo4 in a vehicle. For multiple reasons. If you want combo...

    New GMC Owner with shifting troubles

    Put as much fluid in as you took out. At least to start with. Stop trying to run it low on fluid. You can look up how much to replace with a filter change. (It’s about half the total capacity).

    Tires Plus says my Dually tires are too heavy to balance.

    I don’t even think Large Marge was tryin to sell you balance beads…. Sometimes you just go somewhere and they’re all wearing Velcro shoes and you feel like donating to Jerry’s kids before you leave. Guessing that was the case. Lol Although balancing must be difficult cause I had Doscount Tire...

    Used two post

    What @Ricko1966 said. If you are just putting it on a typical garage slab, you won’t have enough depth to get full embedment on the concrete anchors. Anchor posts to substantial steel foot plates. Anchor plates to floor over a larger surface area. However it sounds like you maybe should get...

    Literally the best gen of GM trucks right there for a balance of newer amenities comfort reliability and simplicity.

    Tail gate strength

    Yup no problem. And you’d have to do way more than drive a 4 wheeler or snomachine up on it to bend it.

    Just advice please

    Not a thing.

    Just advice please

    You’re trading vehicles. Diagnosing and repairing is not really part of the equation at this point. Like someone said above, you assume it needs a new engine and you have no reason to believe otherwise based on what you said about the previous owners description of the hillbilly repair...

    Just curious.

    If it ain’t dripping coolant it’s eating it. Nothing to do with a spark plug wire oil leak or unburnt fuel. That’s coincidental. Unfortunately it sounds like a head gasket?

    Rim compatibility

    Do some comparing on a wheel size calculator to understand better. You didn’t even post the width but guessing 16x10 0 offset based on the 5” bs. Answer is maybe and likely fine but need to know tire size and truck lift.

    Rear disc conversion

    You won’t get “more” braking power with a simple disc conversion. Plus the drums will have plenty of braking power to lock the rear wheels even with some weight in the truck if they are operating correctly. Now “racing” and high performance brakes are a different discussion. Nothing to do with...

    And a 14 sf may already have the big brakes.

    Death wobble, or bad wheel balance?

    Awesome! Notice? At Vato Zone? Not a chance. That’s the place that pride the metal paint can lid off my 5 gallon bucket. All 21 metal tabs. When there is a pour hole with a plastic plug in the lid! And put the lid back on crooked…. Nah, you could bring them your old one too probably if you...

    You “adjusted” the new box? I wouldn’t tell Vato Zone that when you return it….

    Getting inside the cowl

    Don’t worry about it. Your truck will never rust out there. Because it’ll probably never see rain. Lol But to answer your question, yes the coating stuff @legopnuematic posted will take care of the “paint” part of it. But it will come out of every hole and seam. Make sure everything is covered...
