    Replacement pump to carb fuel line

    I used a Russell hose and got away from the hard line.It is a bit long,but I was able to take up the slack and use 3/8” rubber clamps to make it look nice.There’s some extra threaded bolt holes in the front of the block where I was able to place those clamps.Not the best picture,but you get the...

    Measure the the OD of the spring eye with calipers.,then measure the thickness of the spring.Minus the later and you have the ID. New bushings made a huge difference in my ride.No squeaks.

    Dana 44 - Tie rods end is solid bar

    Yes sir,rock auto is a life saver,money saver too.I did use a discount and walked out all in at 140$. I also went up in size on the rod ends.It was kind of a pain in the ass,but I had to get a special drill bit and drill out the knuckles to the larger size taper.

    Dana 44 - Tie rods end is solid bar

    I upgraded to a 1 1/2” heavy wall tie rod.Up front the cost was the same as the heavy duty original type from Napa. But now,I just can replace the ends at 25$ vs 180$ for the long side.Carrying spares is much easier now.

    Gm 14 Bolt rebuild kit??

    You’ll have to get wheel seals and hub bearings and races separately.I honestly believe it’s easier to remove the axle assembly from the truck.I installed the new internals minus the hubs and axle shafts,then man handled it back under the truck. i got a dial indicator,shop press and digital...

Let everyone know what you...

    Engine and suspension swap

    12 bolt rear.With that numerical low (high gearing),not so great for towing unless you have a lot of torque.Trailer brakes will help tremendously but 7000 could still push you with 1/2 ton brakes.Probably be ok if no hills involved. Tranny cooler or TH-400.14 bolt rear axle would be ideal

    1987 GMC V2500 TBI 350/TH400 Thermostat Help!

    Stant is a well known brand most auto part stores carry.Might be a good time for antifreeze change anyway.Most auto parts stores accept used coolant too.Might ask while your there.
