    Wheel Adapters

    @84 M1008 These are the ones I had on my 2001 HD 2500. I assumed they were hub centric, but now that I look at them IDK about that? Some of you could probably say for sure. They assured me that I can haul what the factory says this vehicle can tow with their spacers on. I found the link to...

    Wheel Adapters

    They were hub centric I think??? I’m not sure now, I’ll post a picture.

    Wheel Adapters

    I think I’m going to forego the adapters.... starting to sound like a terrible idea. I have run billet [Aluminum] spacers that were vehicle specific on [would fit] the rear of a 2001 Chevy 2500. The axle was sunken in pretty good and put some 1.5” spacers on. I paid a little bit more, but they...

    Wheel Adapters

    I mixed up the lug count in my initial post, I meant 8 lug 16”... sorry about that. I don’t even know if they make such an adapter. I like the 3/4 ton look. Her paint is trashed, and so is a lot of her metal lol. I’ve done straight wheel spacers on the rear of a truck before and had to trim...

    Wheel Adapters

    Hey all. Any of you running wheel adapters? I want to pull my wheels out of the wheel well a smidge anyways, but I kinda like the 6 lug 8 lug 16” rally wheel tire options. I currently have 5 lugs and will stick to 5 lugs, just wondered if this was something that any of you have done? I plan to...

    Wax

    In my experience (for what that’s worth haha..), if you want it to shine, dull paint needs to be corrected; if it hasn’t failed, to achieve the best results. F11 might add a little shine to dull paint, I am not sure. I always correct my paint before sealing it. It will still protect paint, but...

    Wax

    Personally, I have grown to enjoy sealants better than wax. There can be a price difference for sure and I can’t tell you the best product on the market, but I personally enjoy F11 Topcoat because it’s fast and apples like a detailer (just my preference). I love the stuff. My truck is rough so I...

    Blinkers messed up.

    I did the old swap on the flashers, you all were right! It’s a darn flasher! I appreciate it folks! Glad I didn’t dig into my grounds more than I did...

    Blinkers messed up.

    I’m going to sound stupid, but what is that?

    Blinkers messed up.

    Hey guys. Sometimes my blinkers work, sometimes they don’t. They seem lazy, as in they either don’t work at all or they blink slow and then eventually stop all together. I re-grounded both the front lights, no improvement, any ideas? This is what it does. Thanks!

    Painting exterior with a roller - how sacrilegious

    I’ve seen those videos too, a person could definitely get some decent results. I half did mine... I mean... look at the truck lol. I plan to put cab corners, doors, and patch metal behind the wheels, so this is just temporary before it looks bad again... then hopefully I put a uniform paint job on.

    Painting exterior with a roller - how sacrilegious

    I’ve done it... but it’s not too pretty. I thinned some rustoleum paint down and rolled it on with a foam roller... I couldn’t stand yellow and I didn’t want to spray any paint so I had at her... Not pretty, but looks okay from a distance. There are some tutorials on YouTube, I just threw it...

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    Looks like I have a Heavy Half (GMC version of the Big 10). Read something about the 4th and 5th digit being a 4 on the VIN, making it a Heavy Half/Big 10. Mine is TCL449.....

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    I think my rear springs were a little saggy lol.

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    Oh that would be awesome if you didn’t have to do anything to the back. So were the 8 leafs a big 10 deal?

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    Had a day off today so I decided to finally install the rear lift blocks. I did not want the rear ride solely dependent on air shocks. Even with air shocks pumped up, the rear was still lower. I opted for 2” rear lift blocks. 2” gives the back end a rake, but to me, that’s ideal. If I plan on...

    Headers with AC??

    To be honest with you all, I’m not a fan of AC to begin with and the only reason that it’s in the truck is because it still works great... I would rather not have it if we are just spit balling here. I would have to have it reclaimed too... I’m not even sure suspending it is a good idea, that...

    Headers with AC??

    Ahh, I figured I would run into some issues. Good job, thanks for the pictures. I don’t have a welder at the moment. I have even considered removing all of the conflicting brackets and leaving the compressor suspended if possible, but keep the belt off. As you can see, I removed the belt. This...

    Headers with AC??

    Hello! I bought a set of long tube headers for the 350. I have already messed with the bolts and I’m blessed that all of the bolts that I tested cracked loose easily. My concern is with the AC compressor bracketry... anyone run headers with the ac compressor like mine? This cross bracket is...

    What is this on my PS pump?

    So my power steering pump bearings failed so I bought a new one and now my steel fitting won’t go in because of this brass ‘obstruction’. Take a look OLD pump New pump with the brass insert: I tried getting it out/un-threading it and I can’t. Any ideas? Pump look identical, other than this...
