    Heater box question non AC truck

    Replacing my heater core and blower motor. When I took out the blower motor I saw there is a partially open vent door just behind the blower motor. It's not operated by a cable.....looks like it was vacum operated.....how can I remove the vent door? I want to have good airflow from my new blower.

    Hard to steer after new steering box...

    PS pump makes no whining noise at all. I did jack up the front end and cycled the steering back and forth many times. First with the engine off then later with the engine running. The first time I started the engine with wheels up off the ground the steering was real smooth like it was working...

    1990 350 tbi, strong gas smell in the cab

    Ya gotta be a leak somewhere. I never smell gas on mine, except after I changed the fuel filter I could smell gas outside the truck for a long time. That went away. So might be a leak around your tbi maybe the fuel lines loose???

    Running a 4" lift and 37s??

    My 35's have hit the rear of the front fender on 6 inch lift. I don't think it will hit anymore because I have b52 front spring hangers on which moved the front axle forward about an inch. My stock factory spring hanger blew out with the old sprngs.

    New Process A833 4speed w/ OD MY6 MM7

    I had a new process A833 trans in a 71 Dodge Charger with the Hurst pistol grip shifter, 383 4bbl, many years ago. It was a badass transmission. Drove it hard all the time, never had a problem. It could burn rubber 1st through 3rd gear. I know the hemi/440 6 pack cars also used this trans but I...

    My 1991 v1500 suburban

    You don't need a 2wd box unless you go to crossover steering. The crossover steering is better but the kit is gonna cost you a lot more than a 2wd steering box. You need to decide if you r gonna run the axles you have now or go with 14b ff/d60. A d60 front in CA start at like 1500 bucks and go...
