    Factory Seats; Why do they suck?

    Personal preference European seats in general are smaller tighter fit. American trucks Tahoes are larger I happen to Love my tahoe 04 and 12 seats drive from CA to Utah Colorado etc back feels great no issues. The angles for me are perfect the way I set up. My Toyota tundra seats at work give...

    What to replace while doing tie rods?

    I know you already purchased parts, I made the mistake by buying AC Delco Gold/professional parts they were cheap chinese and had play in them so I had to do my front end twice stick with OEM AC Delco or Moog. If you havent installed yet

    1980 k10 dual shocks to single

    Everyone has their own opinion for me the auxiliary position more vertical up and down makes my truck handle much better but I do have the 5100s as far as the bottom bolt. I would run it through both holes with a long bolt.

    Another Distributor Question

    While trying to get to my oil pressure sender, it was so buried I decided to take cap and rotor off to make room and noticed this rusty looking dust under distributor Cap. Should I clean it up with electrical cleaner? K5 is running smooth but I'd rather not get stuck in some remote location. If...

    Where to mount TH700 manual lock-up switch?

    I probably could have done this and saved a few bucks I like your idea. Not sure how the brake pedal switch works though. Mine is set to lock up at 55 via the cable/electric switch at the TC so speed sensor only I believe

    Where to mount TH700 manual lock-up switch?

    https://www.holley.com/products/drivetrain/transmission_controller/parts/70244 The guy that rebuilt my 700r4 installed this It works well. I finally set it at 55mph and don’t really adjust it any more

    Shock recommendation

    The shock body on a “standard” will be larger than the monotube high pressure nitrogen charged. The nitrogen charged Bilstein will be firmer more controlled.

    Shock recommendation

    KYB mono or Bilstein 5125 nickel plated

    Fox 2.0 vs. Bilstein 5125 Comparison

    They do look cool, no doubt. I have the blue yellow on my tahoe ride great but shoulda spent the extra on 5100 zinc

These things look great in my opinion but are a bitch because of the small lug openings a 1/2 drive 13/16" socket barley clears so i usually start...

    Front 2-3" Springs

    Could be the rear 270/55 don’t like the TC springs? I bought what was suggested to me at that price level from ORD And I’m not saying they are not right it’s just it’s not right for me When I swapped in the 360/80 shocks it drove much more controlled for the front end. And better over the...

    Fox 2.0 vs. Bilstein 5125 Comparison

    Does anyone have first hand experience switching between Bilstein 5125 and Fox 2.0 From what I have read Bilsteins better for hwy handling and Fox better off road? Seems like most K5 owners go the Bilstein route anyone have Fox 2.0 that could tell me their experience
