Air Lift also makes front and rear bags. my dad threw a set of rear bags on his...- Rumbledawg

GM 4200 I6 swap?
the 4.2 is not a bad little motor. we bought the wifey's XUV new in '04 and she's still daily driving it 20 yrs later and we have had ZERO issues with the motor. keep them bathed in synthetic and they will run forever. as she has the heaviest model of the trailblazer/envoy/oldsmobile triplets...- Rumbledawg

Show your sick toy !!!
nice! my buddy had one, he used to come out wit us. i would trim right up at about 10 knots and give him a 2 ft wake to jump on. when i wasn't making a ramp for buddy, my sidewinder with a 140 V4 would bury the speedo which went to 70 mph, but when you got up to them speeds, it had a tendency to...- Rumbledawg

Steering slop
did you lift it to fit 33's? a dropped pitman or raised steering arm will get your draglink level and keep your geometry right. would check the pitman, drag link, steering arm, tie rod ends, ball joints for slop and as mentioned, the rag joint. i too run a redhead with 38's and it steers with...- Rumbledawg

Is rear side window identical on 1990 Burb and 1980s dual/bonus cab?
the sub doors and winda's will fit the crewcab. the only diff is the earlier trucks have, besides a different style door panel, is the door linkage to open the door is slightly different. i'm running '77 rear sub doors on my '85 crew. i did have to re-bend the door rods for the handle slightly...- Rumbledawg

Fuel gauge reading past full
if it looks like this, then your sender wire is grounding out somewhere. pink wire for later trucks and tan i belive for older trucks. quick easy way to check, run a wire from your 4 plug under the hood to the switching unit. if your gauge goes back to normal, start tracing your pink (or tan)...- Rumbledawg
