    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    Well, dang. I saw you were here and had posted and I got excited because I am legitimately wondering how you answer my questions. But you are just beating around the bush so far. So how does one of those old style brake controllers use a larger volume of fluid than two rear brake cylinders on...

    Motor Oil Geek? I've learned a lot from Lake Speed Jr.

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    The large majority of the country could benefit from safety inspections. I'm not going to be a big advocate of it though. Because too many folks with halfway decent vehicles will end up getting hassled over piddly nonsense because the inspector has an authority complex.

    Iirc, my local Ace Hardware sells a few different sizes of brushes.

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    What is in the glass that can cause them to turn colors? Are they also auto-dimming?

    Would these shocks be good?

    You could try removing the lower leaf in the front. Then in the rear you could try removing the modified overload leaf, as well as the one leaf that has been added in.

    Nylon cam gear years

    Yes, I forgot about that part. I changed the oil before driving it again and there was definitely a lot of chunky stuff that came out the drain hole. I ended up putting about another 10k on mine and no issues with oil pressure. I've got an engine swap planned soon, so I'll eventually get to...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    A couple weeks ago, my son found a Camaro he wanted on marketplace. We were hesitant to go buy it, after our last experience with a D-bag that was "selling" a Firebird on marketplace. But anyway, we went with the trailer to go look at it and hopefully buy it. The car was 100% exactly as...

    In need of some side moldings for my 78 K20....

    I dunno. I'd rather spend the time and money driving around and collecting original trim pieces. I've seen the LMC trim on a couple trucks, the quality and fit is lousy. I'm sure some people are happy with it, but I sure wouldn't be.

    ls swap sm465 with headers now slave cylinder will not fit

    I will be the first to admit, not all cast manifolds are bad. But many factory manifolds are bad. All the headaches that people have over headers are usually self-inflicted. Buy a header that fits. Buy good gaskets. Don't use cheap hardware. No headaches from headers here.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I can really only remember the generic red glasspacks that were sold everywhere. JC Whitney, farm stores, etc. Oh yeah, and also the Purple Hornies that were painted a light purple color.

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    You never know, he could be the type of guy that drives around with a pressure gauge on the front and rear circuit and a pressure sensor on his brake pedal, then tallies up all the figures on a daily spreadsheet. And also lubes his caliper sliders everyday and adjusts his rear brakes every 3rd...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    The '90-'91 Suburbans and K5s have rear wheel ABS. I don't remember if the crew cabs do.

    OE Wheel size?

    16x8 with zero offset will work well. I don't think it will change your braking situation though. Unless the wider wheels are just amplifying your existing issue.

    ls swap sm465 with headers now slave cylinder will not fit

    Yep and while it's only 11hp, that's a difference that you can easily notice when you're short on HP to begin with.

    Lol, I made mine removable too. But I can't remember the last time I actually removed it.

    What is this vehicle?

    Figured a Ford guy would eventually show up and tell us the year range, lol.

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    The amount of volume it takes is MINISCULE! @59840Surfer can you show us this law that states it's illegal? I suppose driving with ever so slightly out of adjustment rear brakes is illegal then too? Because that has a MUCH bigger effect on brake performance than the amount of fluid needed to...

    Would these shocks be good?

    Ouch. I'll bet that sure is one rough ridin sumbitch. The rear may be a lot of it too. I see a leaf added in, plus it looks like the lower "overload" leaf has been heated with a torch and bent to contact the rear of the spring at all times. The front springs I'm not so familiar with anymore. I...

    Nylon cam gear years

    100% false. I lost mine doing 70mph. It bent every single exhaust valve pushrod. I was very lucky that the valves seemed to have survived.

    ls swap sm465 with headers now slave cylinder will not fit

    Lol, please repost this elsewhere. It seems to happen more and more often lately where someone posts "Headers only make more power at high rpm, on fully built engines". Or the worse one "Manifolds make more power at low RPM". The results on big blocks tend to be even better than the small block...

    Finally found some 5x5 Turbines!!!

    The centercaps were pretty universal in size between brands. You don't have to spend the big bucks on the Western branded ones, as there were many other brands that fit and look period correct. Everyone just knows the "Western" name, so that's what they search out.

    Rust coating for fill neck

    If I wasn't replacing it, I'd use a gas tank sealer as well.
