    Hi y'all from Georgia

    Welcome from Atlanta! I’d buy you beers if you’re in my neck of the concrete woods!

    700R4 TV Cable (and Carb....)

    Wow, a belated thank you! I’m about to tow this heap over to a buddy’s and we will be dropping the trans this weekend. Next weekend, hopefully we will be reinstalling the fresh rebuild. I finally lost 2nd gear with all the abuse around town so it’s time to get it right!

    700R4 TV Cable (and Carb....)

    Cuba, Thanks for this great info. I realize you're spoon feeding me a bit and appreciate it. German cars I'm good.... Chevys are a new area for me. So this correction kit (I'll probably do the full kit as I'll be having the tranny rebuilt and will drop it) will keep me from toasting the 3/4...

    Wheels wheels wheels!

    This is where I ended up... I went 15in for 15in for now. I took off the rear step bumper and put in a roll pan. Gonna get legit lowering kit with drop spindle and do 17s later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Brake kits...how to navigate it all..

    I ended up with the AC delco caliper & pads kit with upper control arm replacement... easy peasy! Replaced flex lines too...easy enough. Stops like a champ and panic stops are straight. Gotta do the drums soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    General Suspension Refresh

    Anyone confirm whether grade 5 bolts are ok for upper control arm studs? I know it should be 8.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    General Suspension Refresh

    I'm guessing this is rigged up..... there are spacers (additional nuts) in the control arm This truck is starting to piss me off. Can anyone confirm if the control arm only has like 1 spacer right? I'm assuming the jerry rigged lowering triggered this camber adjustment this way. Sent...

    Extreme Intermittent Front Wheel Wobble

    I guess to clarify the symptom. It drives smooth and in balance at all speeds (up to 50mph is all I get it to around town). Then all the sudden if I hit a bump or something, it starts to wobble like the wheel is extremely loose, it will drive like that at low speed. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Extreme Intermittent Front Wheel Wobble

    Sorry for all the fragmented posts... My truck drives just fine for the most part. It pulls a little right and I chalk it up to the stick passenger front caliper which I will be replacing. It does a really weird thing. It drives Jair fine and smooth but once in a while, it feels like the...

    General Suspension Refresh

    So I have Dorman control arms coming in and doing full front brake overhaul this weekend. Just for confirmation, these are toast right? The bushing is torn up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Frame rails

    So looks like it's deformed... accident what not. So what do I do from here? Can I box it in, weld supports or is this frame scrapped? I don't want to dump money into it if it is flawed from the start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Frame rails

    So I don't know the best place for this... my truck was a pretty impulsive buy... I regret lacking research prior to purchase... thankfully it was cheap! So I noticed when my truck was parked on a section of my driveway that's a bit twisted and saw the bed was slightly torqued and was not...

    Wheels wheels wheels!

    Sorry gents, had to get your attention! Ok, here's my truck... don't know what drop or spindles are on it... the springs look like someone torched it as the 2 middle coils are touching. I think I currently have wheels that are 15x8, 4.5 back spacing (I used a block to measure). They seem...

    Brake kits...how to navigate it all..

    Oh I'm going over to that side soon... E63 wagon... I would do CTSV wagon but the wife likes benz better. It's that or the new GLE63... having a kid changes my requirements!
