    How many yolk teeth can you loose and still drive?

    Seems the answer is at least three in my case!!! I've started my rear end rebuild project only to discover that I've been cruising around with an explosion waiting to happen! I knew as soon as I cracked the cover open and saw the matalic sheen pouring into my drain pan that there was a...

    I broke my new truck

    I can't help but read this and laugh... only because I've been there. My primary culprit wasn't a hack of a back yard "mechanic" but rather mice... and it felt like every time something shorted and I fixed it, the next things shorted too... it was a nightmare... but hey, I did get good at wire...

    Insulation on a Budget

    You've caught my attention. This is on my list as well. I had to pull carpet from the back of my truck and temporarily replaced it with patio carpet from HD, which helped a touch with sound, but I have to crank the radio on the highway! Now the headliner is beginning to drape... stinken kids and...

    Anyone install truetrak limited slip?

    Mine just arrived at the warehouse today!! Going in my 91 burb... Catbox, you got me a bit worried, lol! The grizzly was my second choice. First time swapping a diff... No I have a ton of other rebuilding experience, engine, tranny, etc, so I'm not too worried. I'll let you know how they...

    K20 shocks? Single or dual front and brand?

    I was running quad procomps up front. Way to stiff. I dropped back to singles, I still don't like the ride. Got a buddy who's recommending I try a set of shocks that don't have rebound, meaning they don't push open they just slow the expand contract cycle. He's got a set for me to try, but I'm...

    Running boards

    Mild 350 build. Opinions? Anybody?

    Did some digging and found this article: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/how-does-offset-grinding-increase-crankshaft-stroke/ Good, though short, primer on offset grinding.

    Power to the stereo while cranking?

    Because we can, of course! lol. I think that same question could be asked of most mods we make to our squares. For me, it is simply because of how I've grown accustom to using my stereo/phone. I am often driving and talking via bluetooth. When I arrive, my conversations are often not quite...

    Suburban Trailer???

    I have a doner suburban that I am slowly stripping for use/storage/sale. Figured I'd get it stripped enough that I'd send what little was left to the scrapper. Then I saw a local lawn company drive by with a truck bed trailer. That got me thinking.... I have not found ANY examples of anyone...

    Dash light short?

    Anyone :) Electrical is possibly my biggest weakness, in trying to learn... My best guess is I'm dealing with a fried wire somewhere. Problem is, I'm not quite sure how to go about trouble shooting this. Do I hook up a solid ground to my volt meter and start piercing the wires in line until I...

    Power to the stereo while cranking?

    Both excellent options!!! Thanks! I'm adding this to my list!

    Two fuel issues

    Sorry to hear about the troubles! Pros and cons with these 30+ year old square bodies! Pro: We can fix most things on our own! Con: Most things need fixing! Good news is, at least this is what I keep telling myself so I can sleep at night, eventually I'll run it of things to fix, and I...

    OEM shark fin antenna installed on a squarebody?

    You might have to drop your headliner but otherwise, should be an easy install. I'll bet it looks pretty sweet once you are done!

    Power to the stereo while cranking?

    Is there a way to provide power to my stereo while I am cranking the engine? For that matter, is it possible to delay during the stereo off after I turned the key? My old 2003 pickup gave me 2 min after turning the key off, and triggered of as soon as the driver door opened. Thoughts??

    Dash light short?

    I've got a 91 burb. I cleaned up the whole dash console with LEDs, dusted, cleaned, etc. Replaced speakers while I had the dash apart. I got it all back together, working and looking great! Then it was time for the stereo install. The previous owner had an"interesting" wiring job. The...

    4 inch lift is coming along

    I think I'm gonna give a no swaybar setup a shot as well. I have the bushing sweet for it and have to remove it regardless, I may as well dive it without to give it a chance!

    Just got my truck lifted!

    Overall the ride is GRRRRRATE! The quad shocks up front are way too stiff though, the inner pair must go! Also, with the 33x12 tires, the old warn steering shock is showing it's age, big time! To say I float over the road is a bit of an understatement! I have the entire steering assembly...

    4 inch lift is coming along

    Looking great! I love the look of freshly painted calipers! I just finished my 4" lift/ 33in tires and am ready to swap out the whole steering assembly myself! I landed a ranch front spring set in great condition for $60 though.

    Quad Shocks?

    Those are beautiful! Major difference in cost and options from the $30 shocks I installed. I'm thinking I'll drop the quad front shocks to dual and see how that rides. I do love those socks though, seems like a great long term investment! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Quad Shocks?

    My 91 burb has quad shocks. I just swapped in procomp 9000 shocks, front and rear, but man, the ride is now pretty stiff. What are you guys doing to soften the ride a bit? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Just got my truck lifted!

    I've been lurking for a while, thought it was time to post! I bought a 91 burb a couple months ago, it felt like a station wagon and I had to do something about it! I ripped off the fender flares/side molding (sadly I forgot to take a pic before those came off), installed a 4"in rancho springs...
