    Dino's Git Down 2023

    I'm sure we'll make it. I wonder if it's open to other makes now as the flyer doesn't mention Chevy only as in years past.

    Rear brakes are giving me fits.

    Not sure about the vin but the RPO tag should designate which option but that only works if nothing has been changed. The original drum you took off should have size cast into it and you can measure the width of the original pads.

    Direct bolt in gauge cluster

    They are slightly darker than the truck color but pretty close. If you zoom in, you'll see a couple bubbles I couldn't get rid of but they are hardly noticeable. I can always pull them off and have the original faces.

    ORD sway bar disconnect

    I had those disconnects on my K5, worked great but never actually disconnected them as they keep the tire from hitting the fender. Another problem with the thick cast cover is that they don't fit in axle trusses. 3x in my life, I've had a housing crack/ split on the long side at the rosette...

    Direct bolt in gauge cluster

    I liked the Dakota but wanted the simplicity for my son's truck. I bought the tachometer conversion kit from LMC on sale for $280, and bought a new speedo, electric oil pressure gauge, and a used voltmeter for another $120 total. Then I ordered gauge faces color matched to the truck for $75.

    Firestone air bag leveling kit

    I don't have personal experience yet but I have talked to two people at car shows with the Timbren stuff on their lowered trucks and they love it and my neighbor has it on his trailer and raves about it. One is an '80's C10 w/ a flip so about 6" drop and the other is a CC with about 7" drop with...

    How To Refurbish Your Dashpad

    No, I was pretty shocked. I'm not sure what route I am going to go but I need to figure out soon as I have the interior out to get it ready to go to paint.

    Firestone air bag leveling kit

    Have you considered the Timbren set-up? No hoses, lines, pumps, electrical. Simple and reliable. I plan on installing in my C30/R3500 when I lower it.

    Removing Pilot Bearing//Is it as bad as I hear?

    I've never had an issue getting them out. Either the grease trick mentioned above, the puller hook, and 1-2x it was seated all the way in and I tapped it and threaded a bolt in and it forced it out.

    WTH! CRACKED FRAME AT PS GEARBOX. Whats the fix. Check it out.

    In addition to the autofab braces which connect to the rear box bolts, I would also add the frame braces from Ridetech. They triangulate the front end and connect to the front steering box bolts. And lastly, make sure the front crossmember rivets are tight and front bumper brackets. I think...

    RockAuto Magnet trading?

    I'm guessing RockAuto is up to about 360 magnets. I have so many and need so many that it's too difficult to post pics so I am going to list by #'s.

    Painting inside of cab

    I've seen some paint shops that do seminars for free or minimal charge. One near me did 4-6 different ones, prep, base, clear, polish, etc. I believe that the hope is that you purchase products from them in the future. I believe you could even pay to rent the booth.

    New Pulley Installation on a new Power Steering Pump

    Yes, but the important part is if "E" understood the innuendo. Please have him read this thread and report back! We need to make sure today's youth are fully prepared for life!

    Where does the engine smoothness come from?

    Curious as to whether you could feel a difference or run cooler?

    Where does the engine smoothness come from?

    I know I am late to the party but there is a lot of talk on various forums that swapping cams to the LS firing order makes SBC run smoother, reduce load to increase longevity, better mpg, and run cooler so you can put more timing in it and increase power and mpg.

    Seized engine?

    The ticking makes me think its seized and you are going to find valvetrain material in the filter, but Id also look for any other obvious issue. About 20 years ago, a friend of mine's Mitsubishi Eclipse started making a loud sound and wouldn't start. It was towed in to dealer and they said the...

    C30 4/6 drop plans. Feedback encouraged. Thanks!

    I'm in the planning stages of a drop on my '90 R3500(C30) CC DRW of 4-5" up front at 6" in the rear. Any issues with my plans or thoughts? I want the truck to be lower and have good ride characteristics without being slammed. Truck will be used to tow/ haul. Front: Bell Tech 3" drop spindles...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Subscribed....I'm ok w/ LS swaps but not sold yet for C30 applications that see a lot of hauling/ towing. While is I see lots of new 3500HD's on the road, the guys on the highways seem to be all diesel w/ allison. I only see the gas HD stuff in town.

    Wheel well liners

    If anyone has these, post some pics. These should be nice for stock height and/or lifted trucks. Our C10 has a C-Notch and the C30 has 5th wheel hitch and a C-Notch and I am thinking that the C-Notch and hitch brackets would probably interfere.
