    DJM Drop Spindles Rotor Size?

    It was just the tone of your response. Differently worded response would've made a world of difference.

    DJM Drop Spindles Rotor Size?

    Don't have to be an arse about it...:whymewhyme: Try being a bit more respectful next time when someone is trying to help out. A little courtesy goes a long way. You *might* be able to tell by looking at the caliper mounting areas and comparing to your current caliper mounting areas. Either...

    Crate engine swap advise please?

    I'm ditching my TBI 350 (which is running like poop again. One day of excellence among weeks of poopiness), and going with a 6.0L and a 4L80E.

    82 K10 Gas Tank Replacement

    You can get the valve from Pollak. They are probably the original manufacturer. They sell a lot of fuel switching and fuel tank related products for RVs and such. Also made in the USA. http://www.carid.com/john-pollack/fuel-tank-selector-valve-mpn-42-159.html...

    Resurrecting Clifford the big red 87 R3500

    Nice work! I had the opportunity to try a TIG welder a few weeks ago. It was awesome, and now I really, really want one, along with a plasma cutter. $$$$

    Crate engine swap advise please?

    Seriously, dude, you've had a 2x4 stuck in your ass the entire past week. RELAX and calm down, you're starting to get on people's nerves with your snippy attitude. We want ChillOgre back! :D

    85 k10 fuel return line

    That's a vent, not a return, I thought? It's also something like 1/4" tubing, which probably isn't enough to return enough fuel to keep fuel pressure from going through the roof.

    Bearing/Race Question - Opinions wanted

    Yep, new rotors (which come with new races) and new bearing kits (which also come with races). Sounds like I'd be best off just driving the races out of the new rotors (probably cheap chinese, as mentioned) and discarding them, and installing the new races that came with the bearings, which are...

    Bearing/Race Question - Opinions wanted

    Hey guys, Random opinion question for ya'll today. I just ordered new rotors and new bearings. Now, the new rotors come with their own races installed, and the bearings come with their own (presumably matched) races. Would you guys remove the pre-installed races from the rotors and install...

    Double Dingo's 1965 3/4 Ton "Crusty Biscuit"

    Good work there, sir. It's always the "simple" projects that turn out to be a PITA, isn't it?

    5.3 with an sm465

    Early GMT800s could be had with a 6.0L and a 5 speed in the 2500HDs. Should be able to find a flywheel and clutch disk to work with it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It wasn't too horrible. Easiest way I've found to do it is to remove the clips from the brake hoses on the outside of the frame. Then you can push the line in a bit and unscrew the sheet metal nut on the inside of the frame. Then push the line back outside the frame into the wheel well, and you...

    Vacuum reservoir?

    Sure thing! It connects to a tee'd check valve. One side goes to the intake somewhere, one to the vacuum ball, and the other runs into the cab near the heater core.

    Vacuum reservoir?

    Very possible it could be part of your issues. The vacuum reservoir keeps vacuum supplied to the HVAC under WOT or heavy load so that the vent positions don't change when the vacuum from the engine drops.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finished up changing the front brake hoses. There is nothing I hate more on a square than changing those hoses. Managed to do it without mangling the fittings too badly. Tomorrow is brake pads and bleeding along with repacking the bearings...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Looks fantastic! I love that color, man. Anyway, I got a new brake pedal rubber pad installed, license plate inserts and license plate installed, "bench bled" the master cylinder (using some short brake tubing right back into the master....too lazy to remove from the truck), and polished...

    Repair or Replace bedside

    I'd go with cut and weld, if you are comfortable with doing it.
