Tie rod upgrade?
Thats what i have. Long end on driverside with hole for damper, short sleeve and short end on passenger. I looked up the cheapest they had on rock auto, which wasnt bad. Around $30 for the two ends, but then another $25 or 30 for shipping. I can get them local for around $60 for the whole setup...- K201979

Tie rod upgrade?
I'm about to replace the tie rod ends on my 79 k20 and i was wondering if anyone with an 80 and older truck has gone to 81-up tie rod setup? Ends would be cheaper in the long run but i dont know if the knuckles where the tie rod bolts are the same. Anyone know? I know id have to buy the 81- up...- K201979

Brake caliper rebuild?
I replaced the hoses when i first started to address the initial problem. I think the refurb caliper i got was a core that got cleaned up and sent, or maybe resealed with a corroded piston. Good tip on the bleeder. Hadnt thought of that. It looks like if i can find a deal its almost as cheap... -
Brake caliper rebuild?
Its my understanding that the piston gets corroded and doesnt let the square "o-ring" do its job to return the piston. -
Brake caliper rebuild?
I went thru everything less than a year ago fighting the dragging till i got to the calipers. Changed them and it stopped for a while. When i got the "refurbished" right caliper it actually had sand in it so i ended up not using it since i was dragging on the left. Right side stared dragging a... -
Brake caliper rebuild?
Has anyone here rebuilt their brake calipers? Im having trouble figureing out for sure which pistons and seals. Its a 79 k20 silverado that came with sb400/th400.

New member with new truck from bay area, California
Welcome. My first thought about the engine was yank it. Anything is better than a 305 but with milage like that, i wouldnt touch it. Personally id sell it to someone who would keep it in the garage and take it out on nice days. Too nice of a truck for my situation but yours might be different...- K201979

How to... lift Suburban 4x4
Welcome. I used a kit from zone offroad. Came with front 4" front lift springs, blocks for the back, 4 shocks, raised steering arm, new u-bolts and hardware for the shocks. Not as pricey as some of the better names and the springs are a little stiff but it rides way better than it did on the old...- K201979
