    Rock Auto buyer beware

    Funny you say that with the weed eater. I was in that position a few years ago. I had a craftsman bent shaft weed eater that got real gummed up and was quoted 75 to fix it. I paid less than that for it on sale. I ended up sourcing a new carb for it and fixing it myself but I could definitely see...

    Rock Auto buyer beware

    Hopefully they make it right. I rarely have an issue with a part or their website. I tried returning something once and accidentally clicked that I had installed the part so it closed the return with a denial. A quick phone call later and everything was set right. Its been a few years though...

    350 Tune-up "kit" w/ Cap, rotor, wires: Good deal?

    Never bought one. It was either more expensive than piecing together the cheapest parts from one shipping location or not the brand I wanted. Personally, if i'm gonna sell a car i get the cheap stuff. My burb currently has all AC Delco parts. Probably all made from the same stuff. Cap and...

    LED Head Lights

    http://eurolamps.com/eurolamps/camaro_headlights.htm look stock. (dunno if they are still in business, website has old info) Ran them in my Firebird for years. Terrible pattern with HIDs, probably will be terrible with LEDs too. (scattered light pattern, sloppy light placement) Hella makes...

    Pluses to the pandemic

    I ran into an old timer at the butcher's a while back and we were talking trucks. He had a similar truck but was complaining that that he couldnt get a single cab short bed with a V8 so he got the 4.3. I forget what year it was but it had the same front end. Theres definitely something to be...

    From Tennessee

    Man they got one over on you. Look, I'm not in the market right now but I'll buy it from you for 20% over scrap. I wouldnt want a forum member to have to go through all that. Just let me know. :pedobear:

    Best plug wires for noise suppression

    Only problem I find with the isolators is a reduction in sound quality after install. What are the specs of your sound system?

    Adding lower anchor points to the bed.

    My only suggestion with those for additional peace of mind is to use flat stock on the underside or backside to sandwich the bed metal and spread the load instead of single bolts and washers. Where are you planning to mount these?

    Running boards and fender flares

    I may be wrong here but I believe the molded running boards were from special edition vehicles. Campers, conversion specials, choo choo customs, etc. They were fiberglass and are almost unobtainium by now since they were low production and most are probably cracked up by now. Not trying to rain...

    Blinkers messed up.

    Another vote for the flasher. Your truck should have 2. One for the turn signals and one for the hazard lamps. Take the one from the hazard lamps and put in place of the turn signal flasher. As long as you dont have any issues with your hazard lamps, and your issue is the flasher then this will...

    Crewcab carpet.

    Let us know how it goes. My buddy always used ACC at his shop and was happy. Did you get any additional backing on the carpet to help cut down sound?

    the viper mistake

    I think that can work. Let me know when they are available and in the mean time I'll do some research.

    What 4th gen brake parts do you have? Wouldnt mind doing the "ls1 brake" upgrade on 65 Skylark.

    85 K20 5.3/4L60 Swap

    Well if its a "drop in" then I say go for it. LKQ, Ebay, and other web stores are the worst place to get an LS. Craigslist GMT800s with blown rear ends or rusted frames for under 1k are the way to go but 2k for a complete job with a warranty isnt terrible. Yea once low mileage comes into the...

    85 K20 5.3/4L60 Swap

    I think that price is high man, but prices differ regionally. Do you get the PCM, wiring harness, accelerator pedal and TAC module? I think 05 is drive by wire.

    1988 241C non VSS. Is there a conversion kit to make it VSS??

    No problem. Just looked those gauges up, pretty sweet lookin man. Dakota Digital has their stuff straight.

    Need help finding one of these!

    Super handy. Fastenal generally has a forklift on site so they will load it onto the bed of your truck once you pick it up. Full disclosure...I dont work for Fastenal lol. https://www.fastenal.com/en/3089/3pl-request-dhub?pmtzip=72104

    Are there no wires around the strut towers or did you mod it? My 99 Trans Am requires a bunch of work to look so tidy.

    Dakota Digital VSS generator with pass through. Part # SEN-01-4160 Plugs in between your existing speedo cable and speedo output on the tcase. Will allow you to run your existing gauge and generate a VSS output signal for the PCM. You will need to let the tuner know of what pulse the adapter is...

    Need help finding one of these!

    Dont know if you know of or have used Fastenal for shipping. They offer pretty good shipping rates for large items. The cargo hitches a ride on their stock trucks across the country. I had a tiller for my garden tractor shipped to me for around $100 from Upstate NY to the Lehigh Valley of PA...

    i blew up my SBC 350...thinking LS

    Still gonna buy the $700 Suburban? A quick part out would yield at least around $1000 in my neck of the woods, the scrap the rest. Put the cash towards your rebuild.
