    Does dash pad go under windshield weatherstripping?

    I had to trim mine to get it to fit. I hated having to cut a 400 dollar dash pad btw, but had too.

    VHT Ceramic Header coat results.

    This may help anyone who’s wondering if the header coating really works. I bought new Hedman’s and bead blasted them. Following VHT’s instructions and testing my patience…I’m really pleased with the results. It’s been three months and maybe 500 miles. Hell, maybe you guys already knew this but I...

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    Im still learning about these trucks! My 84 K-10 had the original negative arch front springs when I bought it. Definitely more than two leafs. It rode rough as hell.

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    Great advice from everyone. I just have to add, I've never seen a spring pack with just two leafs. Maybe an attempt to soften the ride, leafs were removed causing the suspension to bottom out much easier.

    I'm at a loss..

    Very true, I've had lines that were collapsed on the inside and acted like a check valve.

    Top Speed

    I have a mechanically sound 86 C10 that I've had slightly over 100mph several times. I'll cruise my 84 K10 on I-95 at whatever speed traffic is moving. 85 mph for hours at the time. My trucks are solid and well maintained though. I've rode in shitbox squares that dont feel safe at any speed.

    Min Starters not all created equal

    Good info, I'll be switching to the mini starter on my rigs whenever I have to replace one. Aren't the bolts shorter so you have to buy bolts for the same model as the starter? My 85 K that's in storage has the mini starter but I bought it that way.
