    Headers and O2 sensor

    From my understanding, headers will not improve the performance of the engine on their own. Headers only allow the potential for other performance upgrades to be utilized in the most effective way. For example: (These numbers are not precise, they are just to illustrate a concept) Stock engine...

    Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban

    Just go to the DMV and pay a couple of bucks to get the records pulled. They can tell you the name and address of the current owner for a small fee. All you need is the VIN.

    No crank, no start.

    Yep, hot wire it. That will tell you a lot about what the problem is.

    Headers and O2 sensor

    Another resource might be to call custom exhaust shops. I'm sure they do that kind of work all the time, and would have some experience with what works best.

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    How long do you figure a 3" body lift would take to install for an experienced fabricator / mechanic that has never done a body lift before?

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    The price is right. How hard is the install?

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    Pretty sure I have a 4" currently, and Im running 37's. On a flat surface, no rub. But on uneven surface, it rubs even with trimming. That link would be good if I was stock, but that kit would only provide 2 more inches for $900.

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    Budget - $1,000 give or take. Tires - the bigger the better. Currently running 37's. 42's would be nice. Trimming has already been done, might be able to do more. Tall over the tires. Body lift? Might be OK, if its not too hard to install and if I can raise the bumpers.

    1978 k10 hood

    To get it to sit flush, you need to use large screws to attach a piece of square tubing. Press down on the hood to straiten it. Then insert the center screws, and then the outer screws. You drill through the first layer of sheet metal, not all the way through the hood. Don't make the steel tube...

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    Thanks for the link. but $1,709.99 for an extra 4" seems kinda spendy. Don't get me wrong, $1,709.99 for an extra 4 inches might be a good deal in some cases, just not for a truck.

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    Well, I would call it a broken finger. You slam it in the door or something?

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    So it looks like I have a measurement of 12" with the rig parked nose up hill on a fairly steep driveway. So I would guess its a 4 inch lift with some sag, due to the wear and tear. So using the rough estimate of a current 4" lift, what all can I get out of a lift without it getting overly...

    Blower Motor not working

    This isn't really the answer you were looking for, but it would be a temporary workaround.

    Alternatives to anti-sway bar?

    I took mine off my 77 K5, and it smoothed out the ride a bit, but the rig can get into a situation where its rocking back and fourth repeatedly when going about 50MPH, and I have to slow down to get it to stop. The whole cab leans to the right then left then right and so on. Its very annoying...

    Missing sway bar bolts. Anyone know what size they are?

    So I'm missing the bolts that connect the sway bar ends to the top of the leaf spring. Anyone know what size they are? What bolts would I order?

    What lift do I have? How do I lift it more?

    So its a 77 K5 Blazer. No idea what lift it has on it, but I would like to find out. Looks like about 4" blocks in the rear. Rear sits a little lower than the front. 37" tires that rubbed a little before I fixed the issue with a sledge hammer. Still rubs on tight turns on uneven ground...

    Where are you tapping into for ACC power?

    Unless you are powering an amp, I would not run the power wire all the way to the battery.

    Buying a rebuilt transmission th350

    Your current trans is still working properly? My advise would be to stop right there. Crud in the trans pan is normal, and does not mean that there is a problem. Now if your transmission starts acting up, then you would want to start looking for a replacement. What if you buy that spare...

    79 gmc

    Both are legal, but the boggers wont perform well on pavement. Not exactly what your questions was, I know. Just throwing it out there, so that you are happy with your new tires.

    Starter - Looking for Quality

    My starter was loud and would grind from time to time. Tried to shim it, and that didn't fix anything. Gave up and bought a high torque gear reduction mini starter. It solved all the problems with no shims required. Always use new starter bolts when putting in a new starter. I paid $150.48 on...

    From my understanding, regular Super Swampers are OK on the road, but boggers are not.
