    door lock cyl. removal

    just put new ones in my crewcab last weekend. you need to dis-engage the door lock pawl. slightly turn the cylinder to dis-engage and fish the lock out. make sure the door lock is up, it will come out easier. to get the pawl off the lock cylinder you need to bend the middle tab up out of the...

    King ranch seat in the sqaurebody.

    not sure of yr. guy i got them from said they were out of his son 's wrecked super duty. not up to par on ford stuff, but i think the KR seats were available in SD's from '03 on. mine are 10 way power with heaters, but only a 2 wire hookup, which leads me to believe they are earlier seats as i...

    King ranch seat in the sqaurebody.

    well i'm not one of those kind of guys that get all hung up on a name. if something is worlds above what gm orig slapped in the truck, i'm not adverse to using it, esp just some seats. what bugs me is when guys go stick a ford 60 under the front of their truck. two things i like about my seats...

    Looking At Buying 1997 Cheyenne C1500 As Daily Driver Feedback Please

    there are some good trucks out there to be found, like any older truck sometimes you just have to look harder and longer. i myself prefer the manual, esp when you got 3:73 axles, makes for a real good crawl ratio- like around 40:1-ish. after driving nothing but solid axle 4x4's i was kinda...

    Looking At Buying 1997 Cheyenne C1500 As Daily Driver Feedback Please

    got nothing' against imports, i know their reliable and all, their just not for me. and don't take it wrong, cause i'm no fan of europeon vehicles either. other than a couple fomoco's and a couple chryco's forty yrs ago, the only thing you'll ever find in my driveway is GM products-and usually...

    not into an import for the daily driver thing either. may be reliable, but wait until ya gots to repair it. the gmt400's are stupidly simple to work on, cheap on parts and very reliable. my daily is a '90 gmt400 since we bought it off the orig owner in '95. in 30 yrs i put maybe $2-3000 in...
