    Heat soak - your tips and tricks

    I put a phenolic spacer in between my carb and intake. My next step was to make one out of hardwood but the phenolic spacer helped quite a bit. The fuel would just boil out of my carb bowls and make it hard to restart. I put some open louvers on my Heep hood. Seemed to help a bit with under...

    Fun Stuff (Statute of Limitations Has Run)

    I'm in those neck of wet woods. Keyport is right up the road. Todd's and PSNS real close too. I painted a guys house down the road many, many years ago and my pay was a crap load of consumables that I don't know where he acquired. Tons of short and long SGS burr bits, welding goggles with...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I used some of Napa's aluminum brightener on my wheels and it works pretty good. Highly recommend it about 7 bucks a bottle

    Valve train?

    This probably isn't the issue but throwing it out there in case. I had a tap in my k5 after an engine swap and I chased it until I started pulling my hair out. It turned out to be the Bendix spring on the starter letting the gear just contact the flywheel. Hope you find the problem!

    Death wobble

    These guys all covered it pretty much. I just put a 60 in mine with all brand new parts in the axle and it drives fine with zero death wobble at any speed. It drove perfect without a steering stabilizer. Jack up your axle and see if the knuckle drops a little bit or if there's play in your kingpins

    01 bravada lurch when starts

    Motor mount seemed to tight enough. The motor looked like it torqued maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I'll try changing the fluid in the transmission next and see if it helps.

    01 bravada lurch when starts

    Doing a little bit of research I found there are TSB's for a little fluid still being in the clutch packs that produces a slight engagement upon a startup but is stopped by the parking pawl. Says check condition of fluid Maybe dirty or clutch packs may be contaminated. I'll play with the motor...

    85 gmc c1500 hood hinges

    If you're talking about the slight tip out angle that would bolt to the hood portion yes. When I put an 85 nose on a 78 I noticed the same thing. IIRC it matches the angle where it bolts to the hood

    01 bravada lurch when starts

    So sometimes, not every time, when I start my Bravada it kind of lurches forward just a little bit almost like I tried to start a rig without pushing the clutch in first. It feels to move forward like not even an inch but it's pretty obvious. I'm pretty sure most of these bravadas are the same...

    K5 Blazer repaint cap body color or white? How to remove fading paint on fiberglass.

    You're right about it being harder. Im a painter so I'm probably a bit more set up for it than others. Not a car painter mind you (cabinets, conv varnish, lacquer, stains, dyes, custom front doors, log cabins) but most of it including the equipment crosses over. Most the time I prefer a 2...

    K5 Blazer repaint cap body color or white? How to remove fading paint on fiberglass.

    @TDoc That's fair. I use it to remove anodizing and have seen what it can do to some aluminum so I was just putting a warning out there, glad you had good luck with it.

    K5 Blazer repaint cap body color or white? How to remove fading paint on fiberglass.

    Was going to recommend gelcoat but thought it would be considered too labor intensive for most here. OP, be careful with that oven cleaner around aluminum

    Show off your non-square project cars.

    Yep it's got those seats. Leather, fake walnut, Bose sound, OnStar, tint, power everything including moonroof ...They pretty much through the kitchen sink at it. They went for like 30k right up next to the Blazer that was only 15k or something like that.

    2in lift with a soft ride

    I've been considering swapping out my 6" tuff country HD springs for some 4" ez rides for the same reason, softer. Please report back!

    Kick panel Speaker Mounts

    Add a crossover and get rid of the base out of those speakers ‍ In another vehicle I used a thick coat of elastomeric on the back of the panel which helped a lot... good luck

    Dana 60 front brake hoses with prebent caliper end?

    Alrighty I'm just going to go with it then. If I didn't already have brand new Crown hoses I would probably go with the AN setup. They're pretty nice. Thanks

    Engine woes

    Check your coolant temp sensor while you're at it. When mine was bad it would work fine for a few minutes and then act stupid. Good luck.

    Dana 60 front brake hoses with prebent caliper end?

    Nothing on either one of the hoses comes apart. This is my crown hose on the left and what I took off the Dana 60 when I got it originally on the right.

    Dana 60 front brake hoses with prebent caliper end?

    Just put a Dana 60 in the front of my 91 Suburban. The factory brake hoses that were already on the axle had a 90° metal end in the hose where it met the caliper. The stainless wrapped extended brake hoses I have on the burb already will bolt to them but don't have that metal 90° bend in them...

    General Spring of KC

    I agree. Good price for the stuff I got too I got some Wagoneer Springs from them for my YJ. When I asked them if they would add a military wrapped second Leaf they said they couldn't though.
