    How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!

    The last few brake jobs I had done on late model stuff it seems like factory brakes last way longer than my older vehicles. Front brakes on my square used to last like 30K or so, my wife's 2017 suburban had 112K miles when I dd the brakes last month. The rotors were still flat and not warped...

    Stuck Hood

    When I started my restoration my hood hadn’t been opened since 2008. I was able to get it open a few inches and soaked the hinges in WD-40 and some ATF. After a few hours of gentle wiggling and a few more shots of oil it loosened up enough to start opening regularly.

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    I’d gamble the Pink wire coming from the DS frame is the sending unit wire for the gas gauge, I believe it goes to the bulkhead

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    Here’s a picture from when I took mine apart, I think it went over the PS frame and back through a grommet in the frame to the switch (not totally sure that was correct though)

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    Pretty sure this is how mine was IIRC the grommet for that harness actually is a female-female 4 prong plug.

    I thought it was a number to identify which circuit so it can be found on other pages but you’re probably right

    Best Flowmaster

    You can always add in resonators if the in cab drone is too much for you. I tried two different mufflers on my jeep and even the mellower of them (flowmaster hush power) was intolerable on the freeway 1600-2200 RPM range. I added in a flowmaster resonator & it still sounds good when I stab the...

    door lock cyl. removal

    I got a set on amazon and a set from Summit, they came with the door handle gaskets. They're much cheaper on Summit if you're ordering enough stuff to get free shipping. Otherwise Amazon has the shipping cost built into the price, IIRC the set on Amazon was like $17 and Summit was $5 something.

    A couple more sensor questions

    I would probably notch a little relief cut in the header flange just so you could get a socket on the sensor without pulling the header in the event there is an issue. Assuming the hole and the sensor are both NPT you shouldn’t need to worry so long as there’s decent engagement. NPT threads...

    2.5” exhaust kit for 85 suburban?

    If you’re willing to do some welding and spend the time to fit everything this Flowmaster kit is a decent option, looks like the price has gone up a little since I did mine (I did same kit but in 2.25). The only thing it didn’t have was the mufflers, flanged connectors for manifolds, and I...

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    You mean for the gear position indicator? I’d like to see how that works out. I was planning to try to use the GM sending unit from my 4L60e but couldn’t quite get everything figured out. I ended up using a DD sending unit. Factory sender: DD sender:

    Super low buck toe plates version 1

    Here’s another way… The wife’s ‘17 Yukon needed the toe checked today. We have a home made scribe tool that is a piece of steel plate with a spring clamp attached, welded on one of the clamp ends is a sharpened nail. We jack up the front and slide the scribe tool up to the front of the...

    Trailering your square body

    I haven’t really towed any squares but have towed several GMT400 trucks and SUV’s of all wheelbases, my 4 door jeep, some Toyota rock crawlers and one half ton dodge. I always load facing forward and haven’t had any issues. What kind of deck length are you working with? ETA: also towed some...

    Ford infotainment into 79 c10

    This ^^^^ Modern factory stereo's and especially the "infotainment" type units heavily rely on the BCM's to operate, maybe you can figure it out if you have all of the donor parts and an extensive knowledge in how they communicate. Often times the BCM will not operate without being able to...

    Black Door Panels

    I've had good luck with the duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye that comes in a rattle can, I cant remember if I've been getting satin or flat finish. I've coated almost all of my plastic panels and parts that I didnt get new. These kick panels were blue before

    4wd shift lever light

    For something like replacing an existing incandescent bulb with an LED no relay is needed, the incandescent bulb likely draws 10 times the amperage of a similar sized LED replacement. Relays are a good idea when adding a large light bar though. Most LEDs are dimmed using a potentiometer but...

    Electric Fan Temps

    Mine is untested and I haven’t adjusted for temp but I went with a PWM controller from Derale. It will run both fans however fast they need to maintain the temp you set it for. It also spools them up to 60%+ when the A/C is on regardless of temperature.

    Anodizing radiator

    Cerakote sells a ceramic coating designed for heat transfer, they market it for radiators and intercoolers. Not as cool as anodized stuff but more likely to be capable at home

    Time to put a sound system in the hotrod, wanna bounce some ideas

    Well Huck, your speaker is only about 0.07 cubic feet of displacement. It would be a little more critical if you were running a bunch of them in a box that was on the fringe of being undersized. I think you’ll be okay a tad undersized
