    Best radiator for towing 10k

    That CU730 that foamypirate mentioned is the best buy for the money. We ditched the all aluminum radiators after experiencing chemical reactions with any coolant mix we tried. It wasn't electrolysis. It was something chemical. Only straight water was OK. In any case, we are swapping LS...

    Sway Bar on lowered Squares

    Extremely noticeable! Ever truck should have a sway bar. If you want a lowered truck that behaves more like a car than a truck, you need a C30 sway bar. FYI, some aftermarket offerings for C10 pickups are the same diameter as the C30...

    v-6 and v-8 crossmembers the same?

    Presuming you mean for 2wd C10, yes, the cross-member is the same. The stands were located farther back in the V6, and may have been different. That said, the 4.3 is a cut down V8. You can install the V8 motor mounts and position the engine using the transmission to locate it, then the...

    Need help on a 87 in texas

    That 4L60 will need a controller that costs more than the transmission. What's the game plan?

    How to replace Tail housing bushing

    If you raise the rear high enough to work, with the front in the ground, you may not lose any. You will see the o-ring when you separate the extension housing. No sealant is required. The new rear seal should be self sealing.

    How to replace Tail housing bushing

    Remove the driveshaft (exercise all due safety measures). Remove the four bolts on the tailshaft housing (extension housing). Place a drip pan under it, and tap the sides of ghe housing with a soft mallet to rock it off. Replace the o-ring and rear seal after they install your new bushing.

    any ideas on installing a auxiliary fuel tank

    The fuel tank in your truck is used on both sides in a dual tank arrangement. They are less than $100 from RockAuto. Scrounge the hangers from a junkyard, add a selector valve and switch, and install a new tank and pickup. You'll have an OE arrangement that works properly with your fuel gauge...

    How to replace Tail housing bushing

    Pull the extension housing and run it by a transmission shop. Spend a few bucks and save yourself some aggravation.

    Aux tank usage?

    See a big rocker switch on the dash near your ashtray? Flip it and watch for the fuel gauge to change.

    Dual exhaust crossmember

    Mine can be installed in either, though I haven't had anyone confirm a 4wd, yet. I made it with double humps, so both pipes hang below. You can hang them really close and have about 50% of the tube above the bottom of the frame rail. I can make them flat, for exhaust over the top, if someone...
