    V2500 4in lift replacement? ORD?

    Yeah, it has a BIT of bump steer, but hardly noticeable. That I can manage. Some of it's wandering, at least at freeway speeds, is those silly tires too, tramlining. It just WALLOWS, and rides like garbage. Hard to explain..... Oil pan interference? I think I saw ORD has two crossover kits...

    V2500 4in lift replacement? ORD?

    I assume you mean the wheels? Why does everyone focus on that? Yes I know they're hideous. Some dumb kid bought them, they're what came on it. As I said, it's getting a dually conversion, so it's gonna have SIX different wheels and tires soon enough.

    V2500 4in lift replacement? ORD?

    Backstory.... Having just gotten the wife's Burb back on the road after it's Winter refresh, I drove it to work last week...... and jeebus does it drive like a pig. lol Yeah yeah, lifted square, I don't expect a Cadillac, but dang. It STEERS fine (new Redhead box, all new tie rods, replaced the...

    Busted rear shock mount

    If it were me? I wouldn't just try to weld what's there back together. Probably just break again. At least put a plate over it. Dill the hole in your reinforcement, grind that old surface clean, pop a bolt in there to keep it lined up.... and go to town. Might need a longer shock bolt?

    What would you pay for this truck?

    For that price? No way. lol Double the price and you'd be in shortbed territory around here. Most of the short beds I see though are either way butchered up, someone with not enough cash and less brains thought they were being cool, or they're super clean but way expensive. I also am quite...

    What would you pay for this truck?

    Always a trade-off. We have like the 2nd or 3rd highest gas prices in the nation, and taxes to match? It's ok..... I'll take all my trucks with me when we move. lol

    What would you pay for this truck?

    I mean, my $2500 C10 daily? :D

    What would you pay for this truck?

    To be fair, that's also a 3/4 ton. Not that I agree with the notion, but I've noticed they're cheaper around here, than a similar C10. Probably add what, maybe $1,000, for a C10 in like condition? Pretty solid looking K10 showed up in one of the neighbors driveway a few weeks ago. Original...

    Auto wiper lifters to save edge

    I mean.... I just replace them. I see you're in WA too. Definitely a wear part. Never had a set of wipers last more than a year, or at least work well for more than a year, on any vehicle.

    Hood Adjustment - Front Needs to go Down

    Seriously.... don't do it. lol I DID get it on there, but had to feather out some paint chips in the cowl and the hood edge, and bust out the airbrush after. :( You can do it on the stock hood, so I didn't think about it. The overhang on the cowl hood makes it a whole new game.

    What would you pay for this truck?

    Wherever someone is shopping, geography wise, sure seems to make a difference. Around here, for $500-1000, you get a halfway decent roller, with no engine or trans, or a truck that's "missing" the title. Then again, I picked up my C10 for $2500, but I suspect that's because it being a diesel...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Hahaha Thanks. It looks GREAT from 20ft. First time painting a vehicle for me..... but good enough. Wife is happy, so I'll deal with it. lol

    Hood Adjustment - Front Needs to go Down

    Nice. Always good when things start working right. lol MUCH easier if you have a buddy or two to help fit it up. I also had to whack a couple spots with a rubber mallet on ours, but now that it's painted, I'm not doing that anymore. lol Be sure you get your hammer massaging done before you get...

    Why did GM do this???

    What's funny, is I just spent the last three days under the wife's Burb. I happened to glance at the trans crossmember, and had a horrible thought. I knew the previous owners had the trans rebuilt, so I cringed, and then sighed with relief...... yep, they put the right bolts (and those spacers)...

    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    You know, I used to do that, but gave up on it. A couple of broken solder connections on cars, and realizing there's very little solder connections in the aircraft wiring I deal with (high vibration, solder joints fail, or the wire breaks where it goes from stranded to solid/soldered)...... I...
