    Drag link adjuster. Proper way to tighten?

    I tried that just now, and it didn't make any difference. I did notice that this adjuster sleeve has these little knobs on the outer edge on both ends. I figured it was to keep the knobs from slipping off. Should I have the clamp over that, so there is more of a gap between the ears for it to...

    Drag link adjuster. Proper way to tighten?

    I replaced both ends of my drag link with a brand new one, as well as the adjuster sleeve. Got everything installed, but I can't seem to get the adjuster sleeve to tighten enough to hold everything in place when I turn the wheels. I've really cranked on it, and I'm a big dude. The ears touch...

    Best way to install new hood hinge springs?

    So I got it all done. I bought new springs from a different vendor (Classic Industries). Tried the seat belt trick, but couldn't get it to go on the right side. Ended up using the LMC hook tool, and coming in from the side. It just barely snapped on and then I was able to pull it over. The left...

    LED flasher. What are these wires for?

    My new LED front turn signal/marker lights came in. I got them plugged in, and to my surprise they blink as they should without needing to install this flasher in question. I'm guessing the LED side marker lights/housings I previously installed from LMC, must have load balancers in them, or the...

    10 Bolt Tie Rod question

    I'm glad to hear that. I was about to recommend buying new. Last week I ordered both tie rod ends and the adjuster for less than $100 at LMC. Just not worth chancing it with this Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    What new tools have you got lately?

    That's the problem right now. We might want to be safe and trade in our HF jack stands, but what else is out there that's any better? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    LED flasher. What are these wires for?

    I bought one of these from LMC (see below pic), because I want to install LED bulbs in my front turn signals/running lights that are under the headlights. It appears the fuse goes in the appropriate spot on the fuse block, but what are the wires for? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Need help on cleaning cowl

    Looks much better, but while you've got it all apart and cleaned, I'd redo your seals. I see a crack all along it, and you could have a leak Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Do you guys think this is Rod Knock?

    Definitely troubleshoot all that, but start simple and use a gas additive. I had a knock develop, and I bought one of those Lucas complete fuel system additives. I put it in my tank at NAPA, and by the time I went through the parking lot and made a right turn, the knock was gone and hasn't...

    Best way to install new hood hinge springs?

    Were your springs brand new? The brand new ones are pretty damn stiff. The old ones aren't so bad Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Best way to install new hood hinge springs?

    I'll have to try that. I just found this other option. Maybe I was coming from the wrong angle. I was coming up over the top. This guy came in from the side Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Best way to install new hood hinge springs?

    I bought all new hinges and springs for my '80 from LMC. I also bought their tool, which is essentially a T handle with a hook on the end. I got the hinges on just fine, but I can't get the new springs on. Had to end up just putting the old springs on. I'm strong enough to pull them in to...

    Best all terrain tire for your square

    I have KO2's on another truck, and I have almost 50K on them. Still plenty of tread left. They are an excellent all around tire. I agree with you completely on the design of the new muds. What a shame Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Washer fluid motor not working

    Not sure, but those motors are notorious for being junk and going out. One of the best mods you can do, is to take the reservoir out of an 88-91 Chevy/GMC truck. The motor is built in to the reservoir. Just bolt in the reservoir, splice in the wiring under the hood, attach the rubber fluid...

    Methods for getting steering wheel straight

    Update: I took a look at the drag link, and the front rubber bushing is really soft. Had someone turn the steering wheel back and forth with the truck on, and there's a ton of slop in it. I'm guessing that's not normal? I went ahead and purchased a new drag link with all new bushings and...

    Methods for getting steering wheel straight

    I wish it were that simple, but I upgraded to the U-Joint, non rag joint shaft, and to remove it is really a pain. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
