    Problems with lift kit (ORD) install...

    I'd like to know what tool they used to torque that long U-bolt?

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    Also did ORD kevlar bushings and greasable bolts on all points. I think it helped the 35 year old suspension.

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    Looks great! I know exactly what you had to go through. By the way I also installed the ORD sway bar disconnect and I might be the oddball but I feel it rides better with the sway bar connected.

    Fuel tank sending unit broken hose

    I have had to drop the tank several times over the last month. Six bolts drop the tank. Undo the filler tubes and use a floor jack to lower the tank. Loosen the fuel lines, pull the wire plug and it's free.

    Method 701 milled aluminium rims

    I just added 1" spacers. The tires don't stick out obnoxiously and not much at all in the rear. 4" backspace clears the tierod, 4.5" which mine are hit.

    New Method 701 racing wheels

    I can tell you this, Method claims you can air down to 8 PSI, which I believe. Watching the guy mount the tires, his machine was airing up so slow, it got way up around 65PSI and the tire was bulging all around until it finally popped in. Scared the whole shop x 4. He said if it did ever break...

    Your guidance was spot on. Could not ride better with that suspension!

    What are the odds

    Took a month but finally figured it all out. What are the odds of having a bad ground on a new fuel tank switch and a bad switching valve. Not being a mechanic or electrical engineer happy to have her rolling along in tip top shape.

    Splash guard ideas

    The second down are my preference. Didn't find specific to squares though.

    Splash guard ideas

    Since changing rims and gaining some inches sticking out, is there nice molded splash guards made for squares? Can't seem to find any.

    Ran out of gas, but tank not empty

    Don't know, just adding my two cents. If he dosen't have electric pumps, he knows to disregard my comments. Someone else reading this might though. Should I have kept my opinions to my self?

    Ran out of gas, but tank not empty

    Careful with the new fuel pump and sending unit you buy. I went through three of the Delphi HP 10255 Hanger Assembly's before I figured out that pump sent out fuel at like 85 PSI which blew out the fuel tank selector valve and over filled the other tank and charcoal evap canister.

    Gauge stuck past full (3 O'clock)

    AC Delco U7001. Bought one on Rock Auto, one on eBay and two on Amazon. What the hell, all the reviews on Amazon say they are great, fixed the problem. Am I buying the wrong item?

    Gauge stuck past full (3 O'clock)

    Dropped the gas tank for the umpteenth time to inspect the brand new fuel pump and sending unit, all good. Disconnected each connector between the tanks and the third brand new switching valve. All good. Can only be the switching valve internal, because the right tank fuel level reads correct...

    It's never that easy

    Great info, thanks!

    It's never that easy

    Now that I know it, I can't not see it. I don't like knowing it's not square!

    It's never that easy

    So I can't tell you how long I didn't know this but the rear inside rim to rim measurement is 56 1/2" and the front is 60". I guess I can get different size spacers to fix that. Anyone else know this, or am I just catching up?

    It's never that easy

    Settled on the Method 701 rim, unfortunately it has a backspace of 4 1/2" and it touches the steering tie rod. Now I have to get the adapters.

    Fuel sending units

    Sir, I appreciate the help. The reason I think it's a short is the gas gauge reads full when I know it's not. If it were a ground problem the gauge would read empty. Am I wrong with that? Also the truck runs on both sides when I switch tanks. Ran out of gas in the left tank yesterday and...

    Fuel sending units

    Sir, the individual pumps ground to the frame also. I don't think I have a ground issue, I believe it's a short. Who knows where.

    Fuel sending units

    "The solenoid grounds by being bolted to the frame" Is this right on an 87 also?
