Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas
Snatch block an a few d-rings are on the list still. I think we had a 3500 on the other trailer at first, the weather killed it an upped it to either a 5k or a 9k i can't remember. It wasn't fast with the 3500 but it pulled anything we needed up on the trailer, even if it had flats. I think this...- bluex

LMC Dash Pad Supplier
To my knowledge from when I was selling parts a few years back, all the ones from the major companies were reboxed dash direct units. The only ones that weren't are USA1 an Cheyenne. I could never figure out who they were buying from to try an get direct into that source. -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
No it's not cheap but Id do another recover anyday over the available options. Mine has some extra detail on the top so it was more than that but those are not terrible prices if they do good work. There is alot of time that goes into doing them correctly. Personally if I was doing an 81+ I'd... -

You gotta wait for Cheyenne pickup parts or USA1 then. Or find a good upholstery guy that can recover an OE one... -

Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab
I have the A6 in the dually. It works good but has connection issues randomly with my android. I started keeping a paperclip in the console so I can reset it without turning off the truck. At the moment I don't have anything crazy on it just stock speakers but it does a decent job. When I get...- bluex

What have you done to your square lately??
I've thought about rebuilding my own too but was curious what you do if there's excessive wear in the worm or a few of the balls? Redhead an a few other places make a big deal about fixing that an say most of the wandering issues are caused by that. -

Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas
It soaks in like any other stain once the wood is in the right condition. I've seen alot of comments about getting things dirty, oily etc. Everyone says once it sits in the sun a few days it's soaked in an won't rub off on anything just like a regular store bought stain It's also important to...- bluex

Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas
All right brain trust, is this beefy enough? This took a bit of planning but it turned out how I wanted, unless it's not solid enough. The angle underneath is 1/4", all bolts are 1/2" grade 8 with prevailing torque nuts, also grade 8. The crossmember it's bolted to is 3/16" i believe. With the...- bluex

That was the idea with this buick. It was just neglected a bit by POs. I about have it sorted now I think. It still occasionally does some weird stuff but I mainly just use it to get to work so who cares lol. The cooling system was full of sludge. This was last piece, honestly it was probably...- bluex

This is why new cars suck. Take apart the whole interior for something that should be a 45 min maintenance job :doh2: An on top of that, not only were the covers bolted on, they had heat stakes that had to be ground off too. Why both????- bluex

C30 front end bagged and now tie rods are too long
Cut about 1/2" to 3/4" off each tie rods so they will screw together more. Not an uncommon issue on bagged or really low stuff.- bluex

Old77's 1989 S10 tinkering project
Check the wiring diagrams for it. If it's setup like a 88-95 GMT400 the speedo goes to the drac an the drac feeds the cluster, cruise an ecm. As long as the drac has power/ground the speedometer should work with everything else removed. Temp an oil pressure should go direct to the cluster as...- bluex

late GMT400 interior lights wont shut off like a door is open.
Check the sill plates. The wiring runs through there an if a screw caught the ground wire they would stay on. They also like to break at the B pillars right at the transition from the sill plate to the B pillar trim. Could be worn through but not broken yet an grounded to the floor. Also since...- bluex

Control Arm question
I don't know about those specific arms but those are generally not a super tight fit. They should come out without needing a press. Pretty sure your noise is coming from between the bushing an the chassis mount though. Try spraying something there to see if it goes away before disassembling- bluex

Control Arm question
You'll probably have to take them back off an remove the bushings to grease them. It's also possible it's only squeaking on the side between the bushings an the chassis mount. Either way you'll have to take them lose to do it right.- bluex

Control Arm question
What arms did you buy, you left off the link. It depends on what the bushings are made of on of they are greasable or not.- bluex

73-80 Squarebody XJ Steering Shaft Upgrade
There is a much larger thread on this pertaining to 81 an up trucks. It is a bolt in swap for those using the whole jeep shaft. An XJ is the box style Cherokee from the late 80s to 90s. Specific years are in the other thread, but you can't use a Grand Cherokee as those used a different column...- bluex
