    Remanufactured Engine ID Nightmare!

    [/B] That sounds like an excellent plan too. That is exactly what I would do also. I have never bought a crate engine. I probably never will either. If I need to replace my engine, I have two spare blocks and I will just rebuild them if I need them.:) That is just the way I roll.

    Zone 4" Lift Springs...Install & Review

    So you would recommend this modification? I have not dropped my sway bar. My lift kit did not come with the drop brackets and the sway bar bolted up just fine. I have a 6 inch lift also with 6 leaves on the front spring. I have replaced the spring bushings with new Energy Suspension bushings...

    Brake and fuel line routin help

    I honestly don't know. I posted my pics as somewhat of a guide. I don't know if it is any help though due to the age difference of the trucks. Ryder, I would look on the inside of your frame for any clean spots that might signify the location of the clips. Just a thought..

    Brake and fuel line routin help

    Here is a pic of the inside frame rail on my 1979 longbed. I replaced the rear brake line all the way from the prop valve clear to the stainless flex line. At the back of the cab there is 2 clips, One for brake line and one for fuel line. Also look at the curve in the frame right behind the...

    Quadrajet Rebuild

    Make sure to coat your gaskets on both side with white lithium grease. It will save your gasket in case you have to take the carb apart again.:)

    Stolen 4x4 Squarebody Suburban Austin, Texas

    It's a good thing you stayed in the car. However when that dirtbag told me to back up to his tow truck. Well I wouldn't have done that at all either. As for slamming my hood. Well it just might have got a little physical right then. I would say you handled it better than I would have. But in the...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Exactly right! I had every brake line from my master cylinder down replaced on my 2001 Dodge truck. The truck has 50000 miles on it. Cheap ass Mexican MOFO's built it down there with the cheapest metal. Now let me tell you that cost me some serious coin to have it done. I didn't want to bend it...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Yes you are right. Think about it like this. I don't know what the cost of a paint job is where everyone else is at but around here it has been hinted at like $5000. I had a guy tell me the other day that he had one done for $3600 and that was because the guy owed him for something. This guy is...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    That is a nice looking truck George. But it is a bit pricey. I showed this to my son. I told him after the truck is done it should be around that range. I went down through that guys list and ticked off the things we have replaced or rebuilt. He has me on the new bed but I suspect we are going...

    Resurrecting Clifford the big red 87 R3500

    I am planning on using clear silicone waterproof caulking to coat the underside of the stainless trim. I will do the same with the fender well trim. I always coated the screws with some clear silicone when I put my mud flaps on also.

    Resurrecting Clifford the big red 87 R3500

    I think the insulation is just a bad product. In theory it is a good idea however the material GM used is not made for that part of a vehicle. I think that GM was worried about heat and sound and never considered that it would trap moisture.

    Resurrecting Clifford the big red 87 R3500

    I take it you don't have cab lights or a cargo light? You can access your roof if you have either or both. You might be able to spray inside the dome light hole also. I would tilt the cab up and spray through the dome light hole as much as possible. I have to admit that I didn't even consider...

    Harbor Freight Tool/Product Review

    Thanks for the review skysurfer . I am going to use soda through it instead of sand. I have a craftsman 5 hp 25 gal tank. I suspect I will have to run it wide open. Hopefully it will keep up. We will see.
