    I have Original front rotors?? I need replacements. 1' or 1.25 Look inside!

    They don't look "thin" to me, just worn. If they measure under 1" at the ridge then they are the LD rotors. Another way you can double check is the inner bearing. Take it out of the rotor an take it to the parts store. Compare it with a new bearing for each rotor. The difference is pretty...

    I have Original front rotors?? I need replacements. 1' or 1.25 Look inside!

    Just measure then with a tape measure. Anything over 1" an you had 1.25" rotors. If it's under an 1" then they were 1" since it's an 86 they more than likely are 1" but measure before you buy parts. There's no way you wore 1.25" rotors down to or under 1" without other issues.

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    Sounds to me like you should do the arms now since that seems to solve quite a few more issues at the moment than wheels/tires will. You also can wait a bit on the sway bar after doing the arms, it doesn't have to be done at the same time. A lowered truck without a bar already handles better...

    305 tpi to tbi question

    There are several upgrade pcms an harnesses for TPI engines. I'd run it off one of those. The TPI was the best truck intake they never put on a truck!

    Front seat simple swap? Is there such a thing?

    It is fairly simple, it can be done with no welding if you can make some risers for the inner front sliders. This is one way its been done.

    LMC bucket seats arrived.

    Currently have a 40/20/40 out of an 08 silverado. That's part of why I wanted them to adjust individually so the "console" stayed put. I was worried it would hit my shifter an it does. I'm going back to a 96 60/40 though. The 08 seats are nice but to thick in the backrest for the C10. I'm going...

    I built this an put universal sliders on top so the seats were independently adjustable, not that anyone ever moves them lol.

    Dakota Digital HDX Install Write Up

    It can be shown on the gauges depending on the vehicle. For a square with a stock trans it requires an add on gear indicator module. With an LS engine/trans swap you can read it out of the pcm with an OBD2 module, I believe.

    Lowering the front and rear

    Again, cutting springs (up to 1 full coil for a C10/C1500) does not make the ride bad, this is an incorrect old internet myth that just won't die. Ride quality is mainly dictated by the shocks an the available suspension travel. HEATING the springs with a torch to a desired ride height...

    Clearance issues with lowering spindles and what you did about it…

    Yep thats pretty much what I had in mind with my bad drawing :lol:

    Clearance issues with lowering spindles and what you did about it…

    I would CAREFULLY cut out /grind the edge of it up to the bottom of the ball joint. That shouldn't affect the strength or how the ball joint stays in. Bad attempt at marking it up but in an arc like this slightly above where it's been rubbing.

    Clearance issues with lowering spindles and what you did about it…

    There are alot less clearance issues with a 15x7 or a 15x6 wheel. Some people probably think they have 8" wheels when in reality they don't. The drop spindle brand really doesn't matter, they are cast in 2 places so they are basically the same regardless of who's name is on the box.

    Clearance issues with lowering spindles and what you did about it…

    If you have 15x8 wheels all around a 15x7 up front will give some extra clearance. Other than that you've got to grind the steering arm or run a spacer. With the cpp a-arm it shouldn't be interfering at the ball joint. I would be hesitant to grind on that a-arm but I've beveled a bunch of...

    Speed sensor question — 700R4

    You guys already nailed it but the adapter is for a mechanical output that you don't have. You can grab the signal from the sensor itself or from the drac output to the factory gauge I believe. Either way you've got to calibrate it so it shouldn't matter.

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I think a few things could have been done a little different, but that's my personal preference on stuff. it's definitely 100% better than it was from even before the wreck. He did much better work for sure.

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I think since the cabs are on the smaller side 1 will be plenty. If it's in the middle like that no one will ever know when the beds on it. If you did 2 then it might be seen through the gap, if that is a concern.

    I would probably use windshield urethane if it needed something to seal and hold

    Anybody got a Jetta TDI?

    I have a 2013, an a love/hate relationship with it. Everything that happens to it is a minimum of $500 an 2 weeks of it being down. It's a nice car an does decent on fuel but man it sucks to work on. The DSG on it is sealed too, kinda takes some getting used to. I've had it checked 2 times...
