    C20 suburban with moderate drop, what shocks?

    I personally don't, people love those fancy shocks but imo the difference isnt worth the price. If you feel your bottoming out, its definitely the tires in the wheelwell. 73-80 inners or some mild slosh tubz would be a better investment imo.

    New daily driver

    Apparently its a Jeep thing. Why idk but that seems to be the case. I have not found anyone with this issue on a Ram even though they said they have heard of it. Found a few instances of it on non SRT jeeps though. Their solution now is to remove about 3/16-1/8" from the filter mount points an...

    You guys will get a kick outta this then. That fancy replacement pan, now the trans won't go back in park :banghead: According to PPE they have had issues with the linkage hitting the filter on some dodge stuff specifically the 8HP75. So their fix was to send a +2 qt pan to get the filter...

    The catch can on the pass side is in the pcv line (its over beside the fuse panel an ecm). I get oil in it too. I guess I'll have to put one on the dr side also to catch what's going on over there.

    C20 suburban with moderate drop, what shocks?

    A Sway bar is the answer for the body roll An you'll bottom those tires out in the inner wheel well before you bottom out the suspension. That's probably what you hearing. I bet if look towards inside upper corner of the inner you'll see rub marks. It looks great but those are some big tires...

    Holley sniper 2 no fuel pressure

    The regulator has an "IN" port, an "OUT" port and a "RETURN" port. Properly plumbed the fuel should come from the fuel filter to one of the sniper ports, out of the other sniper port to the "IN" port of the regulator. The "OUT" port should be capped and the "RETURN" should go back to your...

    Holley sniper 2 no fuel pressure

    If your pump is running an you have flow out of the feed line then its either got to be a bad reg or it isn't plumbed right. They come pre set to 58 iirc. Double check your routing an connections. How long have you had the regulator? There was an issue with some from 2024 that they did a...

    Well with 2 broken trucks taking up my home garage, an the weather not being very cooperative lately, a leaky valve cover on this thing is being addressed for me by someone else :eek: Putting a +1 qt aluminum trans pan on it too. I really didn't want to do that in the driveway either. I'm...

    C20 suburban with moderate drop, what shocks?

    You have the right shocks on it Spindles do not affect suspension travel so you don't factor them into shock length. With a 2" drop spring (or even 3") there's no need for a drop shock. It's there a reason/issue your having that is making you question it? The gas-a- just are going to give you...

    Holley sniper 2 no fuel pressure

    Have you ran the wizard so it has a program in it? It won't turn on the pump relay if you haven't ran the wizard. What regulator are you using? Are the lines ran to it correctly?

    Kia an brake light bulbs out seem to go together. See alot of them out on the road with one out. We've had a few ourselves an had several go out on us.

    M122 blown 5.3 in my 99 silveraydo

    Looks like an STS-V blower to me. They got pretty popular for a while because you could get them cheap, then about 2 weeks after the word got out the price went up by alot lol.

    Hood hinges help,maybe not the same old stuff

    I was interested too, so I found them https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Hoodini-73-80-C-K-Series-Pickup-Blazer-Hood-Hinges-Steel,547513.html They have a "smooth" style that I like better. Not bad price wise but still on the expensive side imo

    Yep, it was not happy with this lol. Only moved it in the yard though. Its tight where I park the trailer an this was alot easier to maneuver in there for sure.

    Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas

    New daily got a turn as tow pig. I won't use it much because it maxes out at 7500 an I'm pretty sure the trailer an my/a C10 would be around 8500-9k. It did decent with this load (im guessing 4k) but definitely needs a brake controller if its going to tow alot. Was a much different feel on a...

    Chuck’s engine build thread!

    3 cam bearings came out with the cam on the last 6.0 I did. They installed an updated wider bearing an honed it after they were in so the new cam spun freely. Said he's done a bunch that way that had spun them :shrug:

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    I put a late 90s S10 NV3500 in mine. I have been really happy with it. The S10 version has better 1-2 ratios than a full size one an uses the th350/700r4 size output. They have a .73 5th. They have a bad rep but can live behind a mild small block as long as you avoid dumping the clutch lol. If...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    A 5 lug disc brake swap with a drop spindle will accomplish alot of that in one shot. If you decide you don't want to mess with the rear they also offer them in 6 lug too. Master power brakes has good kits an you can get them with a booster/master too if you want. Captianfab on the 67-72 forum...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You dont crimp those, supposedly the solder melts as you also shrink the heat shrink. Everytime I've used them the heat shrink burns/melts about the time the solder melts. I use good connectors, with a good crimper an then heat shrink. I will solder some but depends on where it is. Yes but...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    American autowire kits come with more connectors than painless. But if your going LS, dakotas an vintage air might as well save some money an go with a universal one as you won't need all those factory connections anyhow. Worst thing is getting a truck with a new harness then redoing it again...

    3/4 ton GMT400 Burb & ORD SAS and 6BT Swap

    I have a 02 24v that is hopefully going in my 99 2wd dually next year. The wiring on these trucks is pretty simple, despite looking complicated. Everything is basically a standalone circuit. Gauges are easy as they go direct to the cluster so you can just throw the stock OP an CTS on the...

    Short shoes go forward, seen them put on wrong a bunch, just because thats how someone did it before. Heck I wasn't paying attention one time an put both long shoes on one side an didn't catch it till I was finishing up the other with both the short ones :doh2: Another thing alot of people...
