    Rubber articles. I mean that to include things like fuel line rubber, where the steel lines transition to short hoses for the win. Flexible brake lines are another as well as brake caliper/wheel cylinder/master cylinder units for seepage. Vacuum lines are another fun place for a leak, including...

    Rear diff weirdness

    Had this one going on 40 years now. That other one looks like a needle to inflate rubber balls.

    Rear diff weirdness

    I would also be curious to see how much play there is in the pinon to ring gear. Something else to consider/inspect for searching the cause of the noise.

    Where does the engine smoothness come from?

    Remember kids - engine smoothness does not come from the forbidden milkshake.

    Hoes or Holes

    Drivers side forward Rear Front, viewed from underneath. Gas tank helps obscure things Rear from under. It clamps around a floor span. I imagine it does that up front as well. Very different from the OP.

    Hoes or Holes

    This is one I can try to answer in pictures. 79 camper special Cab bracket for shock, drivers side, yes the cab bushing is shot on this side This is the other end. It's unattached at the cab, not sure why. Here's a look at the passenger side, minus shock. Brackets only. At least I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I went by yesterday and emptied the Dry-Z-Air. Sat in the seat and let out a massive sigh. Almost two years on the new tags and not a single revolution of anything. Patted her on the dash, mumbled some apologies about being swamped with other stuff, and wiped a tear from an eye. I so need this...

    Can you tell if a block has 1 or 2 piece rear seal without opening it up???

    I was thinking of looking it up on Rock, NAPA, Autozone, etc and seeing what it calls for. Bextreme04 has an interesting method.

    Steering arm conical washer removal without swinging a hammer for 2 hours

    You get any pics? If not, I truly understand. I got up late today to bad news x2, and haven't had my first cup. For the life of me I can't visualize these washers....

    Can your granny open your trucks door?

    Turn the thumb button into a fingerprint reader for the lock and have the entire handle pivot from the front as the opener action. If you have that sort of cash hanging around...

    I want to drive an '89 suburban 700 miles home, what should I know?

    Sounds like a lead up to an episode of Road Kill, without the support crew or budget. But it might end up like a bad episode of Shipping Wars. I lean towards having it delivered, just because at this point in life my time has more value than a road trip for a rig. Even 10 years ago, hell...

    Can a 5/7in drop hold dirt bikes in bed without any rubbing issues

    Seems a bit ambitious to me, but I bet it could be engineered in. Throw enough money at something and it's bound to happen. Start a build thread with pictures and we can go along with it too.

    What did you pay for a square

    https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/pts/d/dallas-1976-chevy-k5-blazer-4x4/7615016470.html Wow. If I was looking for a blazer, that might be a decent price these days. Would you pay that for a □ ?

    Convenience center mounting

    I'm confused by convenience center. The fuse block? That's above the clutch pedal area on the firewall in my era □.

    Runs smooth, then sputters, then smooth, then sputters

    Since alcohol absorbs water, it's entirely possible to have more water than the alcohol quantity will tolerate. In my case lately, I'm sure it was a combination of excess condensation and old age. That particular fuel that gakked out the farm truck was a can of non ethanol 91 octane...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    The nice SnapOn man replaced the guts on my 1/4" ratchet today. I guess I don't know my own strength. Or ignore load capacity at my knuckular peril.
