    Wilwood d52 calipers on k30 dually

    Ive had the shakes up front and I solved the issue by bleeding the brakes. The dam brake fluid was water logged and it felt like warped brake rotors. Just a simple bleed and new juice did the trick. Brake fluid should be nice and clear like fresh water.

    shock advice

    I got these for $27, they are truck shocks, the reviewers swear by them. My Burb with 454 is a lil on the heavy side for them. They work great around town, very stiff, but not very good over 80mph it feels like a boat at that speed on big dips. But my truck is a massive boat at almost 9,000...

    I have a commercial E-150 van with no headliner, just a painted ceiling and here in California when it gets to be 100*F that thing is like an oven inside. Not Even my A/C can cool that beast down. Since becoming a burb owner the one thing i noticed and love the most about the burb is its...

    Mystery wires dangling on Mystery Vac Hose

    Woa. I looked there on the passenger side head in the rear and there was this... is this it? I think this is it! Its so weird it only has one lil wire connector. This must be a grounding sensor that acts as a resistor.

    1981 K10 dies going down the road

    What is this?

    Glad ya found it! Says tach will work without it but the needle might be a bit jumpy like a mexican jumping bean. Here is a schematic if ya want to build one yourself for less than a dollar. It came from GM. Its just a couple of resistors in series and couple caps to pull it down.

I dont know much about cars, but I am a electronics engineer. ferrite beads are used to filter out noise from electrical lines. You can buy...
