    Rough ride in the rear?

    what brand and how low are you front/back? Right now, i'm on 295/50/15s all around and I don't want to drop it just yet, I feel like I might have clearance issues? I really just want to replace the hangers with new ones along with bushings to get a smoother ride if possible until I switch...

    Rough ride in the rear?

    looking at some hangers/shackle kits on ebay and some other sites, I see they have dropped ones that will lower the truck about 4 inches, total. Do you guys recommend lowering the truck this way? I'll get something up front to match the rear drop. Would I need a drop shock in the rear as well...

    Rough ride in the rear?

    I was putting some different wheels on the truck today and looked at the hangers, they were pretty rusted, not through but definitely old and worn. I'm going to go ahead and get new bushings and hangers and see how it improves and go from there. My new shocks are indeed gas charged! Thanks...

    Changing Differential Fluid

    Hi Guys, First time doing this on my 84 C10. What and how much fluid do I need? How do I know when to stop, should the liquid just squirt out when its full from the filling hole? Anything else I need to know about when doing this? Thanks!

    Which filter and how much fluid?

    Hey Guys, I'm looking to change the filter and fluid in my '84 TBI 5.7 with an automatic trans. I'm fairly confident its a 700r4 but I'm going to have to verify to be sure - are there different amounts of fluid to be used between the different trans that came on these trucks? What brand...

    Fuel Pump/Fuel Sender Questions

    Hi Guys, My 84 has been having trouble starting when cold, noisy fuel sender, fuel gauge not reading problems - I believe it is fuel related, either the filter, pump or maybe the sender. Couple days ago I replaced the filter as I had one laying around, this helped a little but not enough...

    Replacing In-line Fuel Filter
