    Ignition Switch Adjustment

    I just replaced the starter, the one installed was not engaging the gear to the flywheel. But this did not fix the issue. However, when I turn the key from OFF to Power, then rotate to Start, the resistance is minimal.. I changed the ignition switch thinking that was the issue but it hasn’t felt...

    Rally wheel tire size preference? (2wd)

    I currently have 275/60/R15 all around. I'd prefer to have a little wider in the rear, I think 11.50" wide will work in the rear without modifying the wheel well.

    Ignition Switch Adjustment

    Mine does exactly this except it doesn’t start. I have that same exact gauge cluster also. Not that that’s part of the issue. I changed the ignition switch and still will only allow the key to turn forward like this and only a small amount to attempt to turn the truck on. What Ever came of yours?

    LS Swap Retuned - Engine won’t start

    Thank you Brian! Sounds like you have a solid truck with that 5.3! As far as my gauges go, I have the dakota digital setup and changed the resistor etc for the LS ECU so everything there is good to go.

    LS Swap Retuned - Engine won’t start

    I apologize for the late reply. I Wrote Full Tune again with the tune he sent recently. I don’t recall having a copy of the original. There is one there that says “Restore” though, perhaps that is it? I have a new battery now, the previous battery was old and I attempted a few Writes on it...

    LS Swap Retuned - Engine won’t start

    Swapped in a 5.3L LM7. Engine was tuned by tuner and ran great. While still running great (and not knocking) the Check engine light came on - I read the code and showed to be knock sensor. He sent me another tune file to upload via RTD+ through the TDN App on my iPad. Uploaded tune. Now engine...

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    The Spindle barely touches. I modified That too some. But didnt have to much. I called McCaughy and they made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal: “ahh yeah just file on it some, they all do that.”

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    I kept the 15” wheels and had to modify the lower control arm some. Currently in the market for some 17” rims (and now tires too), just to have plenty of clearance..

    Suspension Upgrades 2WD

    This weld in kit looks really good too. I’ve seen the CPP products and also Porterbuilt looks to have some good options. I will check on the IHC website also. Thank you! And LOL yeah it’s crazy how that timing stuff works out huh?!

    Suspension Upgrades 2WD

    Ok so front and rear coil over setup with tubular A arms, and rack and pinion steering. Do you recommend any certain brands? I see some pretty good looking setups on CPP. What about Porterbuilt?

    First square 1985 c10 long box

    Welcome from West TX. I think the 15” original Rally Wheels look good. Not flashy. You can buy some original wheel spray paint and make them look new. Beauty rings can be purchased from LMC truck.

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. They should design these to fit an OEM wheel in my opinion. I just bought new tires to fit these 15s so would rather wait on now having to buy bigger rims and another set of tires bc of this..

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    Good points.. Less thread to grab on the studs. So better to grind a little off the lower control arm and front part of that spindle.

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    Thank you! That’s exactly what all I’m seeing including the weight types.

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

    I just installed these 2.5” McCaughy Drop spindles with 15” rally wheels. I’ve seen this on YouTube- they rub on either the lower control arm, or in this case the forward part of the spindle. My only option is to grind on the spindle or control arm? (Or buy 16”+ rims) curious what others have...

    Rotor seized - wheel bearing failure!

    Had driver side wheel bearing failure while driving yesterday. Got so hot it shattered the bearing. Upon attempting to remove the rotor, I found the it to only be loose, without actually sliding off the spline as it should. I’ve used rubber mallets, pried on it, and no luck. Any suggestions on...

    Complete Interior Install

    That looks really good. Nice job! Did you end up putting in a sound deadener before laying carpet?

    Suspension Upgrades 2WD

    Does anyone have recommendations for suspension upgrades for 2wd trucks? I'd like to have a newer truck feel/ride when going down the highway at 70mph+. Right now everything is stock. I'd like it to not feel so squirrely. TIA!
