    The hammer? Bcause I was using the hood as a shelf lol No, I didn't register it, I waited 6 hours in linew at Illinois Secretary of State for a 10 minute $10 driveaway. And where is the title and BOS? Good question. I didn't see any damage from the radio theft. I'll look more carefully, and...

    Linda Vaughn... the day after I bought the '90 0 Jimmy, she was at Carlisle Chevy Hurst (Olds) show last June

    Any original squares out there?

    Oh I forgot about the '63 Biscayne. I honestly have so many vehicles, that sometimes I just totally forget about certain cars. The Biscayne is also a clone car, it was a 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. Now it's a 409 425 Muncie M20 4-speed. It's in storage in my mother's underground condo garage, I...

    A friend of mine that I sold another California K5 to last year (1984 2 owner-but ratty. ran great, I drove it back from California with many stops along the way) just texted me, and said I should list it for over $20,000. I have over 40 cars and trucks in my collection. Half collectible-half...

    1990 K5 Jimmy ZERO Rust-130k-Original Paint-Interior-350TBI

    1990 K5 Jimmy. 130k, from Texas. It looks like a one owner truck, absolutely ZERO rust! Original paint, but it seems like the top was painted white. Was this done at the dealer when it was new? A few very small door dings, a bent piece of interior trim, a couple cuts in the bumper rub strips...

    1984 6.2 diesel. Loaded with options, including 3.73 gears, rear skid plate, quad shocks, and it had the tiny mirrors which I converted to the Mickey Mouse mirrors. 134k when I bought it, 139 now, and it's been a plow truck since I bought it 10 years ago in Eugene Oregon. The Diffy crown and...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    I plowed again for a couple of hours today, and I'm just in love with this Locker. I still haven't noticed any side effects, and the roads are getting dry. I'm definitely going to put one in my ' 95 Suburban 2500 6.5 diesel. Plus that thing won't engage 4 wheel drive, it keeps blowing the fuse...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    And I watched the ring and pinion video. The guys doing it on the bench where you've got every advantage in the world. Doing this thing lying on your back, especially when the heat in my shop of course rises to my high ceiling, is very difficult. Its tedious, and you'll need two little...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    Nope, I didn't pull the springs too soon. It's just the best job to do on a bench, or standing up, with the vehicle on a hoist, leaning on your elbow and getting an edema, or bumping your head on the skid plate of my fuel tank. Freezing on the ground is not the best way to do this. It's...

    Rebuilt Steering Boxes from NAPA?

    These are the same as I installed 10 years ago in both 2500 Subs. Hit or miss, and I don't know what number torsion bar gives you the lightest steering, if that's what you want. That would be my preference for a heavy truck used in town and or to backup a trailer. As I recall, Advance Auto...

    Rebuilt Steering Boxes from NAPA?

    That gmt400 is a mechanical injection diesel, that I need for my much nicer truck that drilled a hole in the cylinder. Long story, bad ending. Its an 86,000 mile parts truck that ran low on oil, I hope the motor is good. I also have another identical one, at my shop. Same mechanical injection...

    Rebuilt Steering Boxes from NAPA?

    I can do even better than that, I can post videos and put them on YouTube! Does anything in particular interest you? That's a Survivor 65 Grand Prix in the back, loaded with options, and a 78 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz special edition, the very very last one of the big ones before production...

    My 1984 K20 GMC Suburban is mostly original, I bought it in 2007 in San Francisco, it had 234,xxx miles, and was a really well maintained, probably one owner. It had one repainted fender and door, and nice patina on the top, but it had a lot of body damage, and my friend that was going to paint...

    Rebuilt Steering Boxes from NAPA?

    10 or so years ago I installed a new Lares steering box in my '84 3/4 ton 4x4 6.2 diesel Suburban, and after 250,000 miles, the original was obviously worn. The new one had too much steering effort, and when I called Lares to tell them of the fact that they put the wrong shaft in, and had...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    HotRodPC, I didn't pull the carrier, but I did install 1C lock, but there's no recess. In fact the sleeve has a raised ring, and if you flip the sleeve over, then there's no space for the pin to run through between the axles. I was there for two hours looking at it, trying different ways of...

    My 1984 K5 Plow Teeruk 6.2 Rear Diffy Is Bad...

    So with about a foot of snow coming today, I lay under my truck at 9 last night, and started putting in my Lunchbox Locker, and it was really simple and straightforward, until I realized that I hadn't installed the c-locks to retain the axles. And 2 hours later, I walked away with no Spartan...

    In my experience, most American differentials were somewhat overbuilt, obviously the GM 8.5 less than others in lite truck applications. but I've only seen them break, not wear out
