    Would these shocks be good?

    Another vote for no... Save that $200 to put towards better springs or for use on a rainy day.

    Brake light keeps going out

    My left had an intermittent issue, turned out to be a spade terminal in the middle of the tail light harness tucked under some factory duct tape. It was oxidized and corroded so I cut it out, spliced in a short piece of wire and heat shrinked it.

    Would these shocks be good?

    I’d gamble you’re on way more lift than 4” if you’re running 37” tires on an K5 unless the fenders are nearly trimmed off. Shocks can’t “fix” harsh riding springs no matter how much you spend on them. Springs are supposed to be able to slip and move as they cycle but I doubt a little lube will...

    87 V10 driveline

    If your shaft end yokes and slip yoke are still serviceable you can take them in to a driveline service shop and have a new tube welded on your yokes for not too much money. Driveline shops should have the yokes in stock too but it greatly increases the price. Last one I had built needed the...

    Have a great Snap On dealer finally

    The problem is the promise of a warranty that they only honor when dealers know they will lose sales to that individual otherwise. Dad spent his whole life in the industry but I’d bet he’d be dismissed by most dealers for a warranty issue because they don’t know him.

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Pictures…. It’s time for pictures, perhaps we may see an issue you overlooked. I’ve had my butt kicked in the past and would be ready to quit, my dad or a buddy would glance at it and point out a simple thing I had gone blind to. I’ll add if the RPO list is in the glove box get a picture of...

    Have a great Snap On dealer finally

    The amount of guys I work with that are paying down a $30-50K dollar Snap-On bill is ridiculous…. I don’t even work in the trades, they’re all guys that went to tech school or turned wrenches for a few years and changed professions before they even paid their tools off.

    Have a great Snap On dealer finally

    When I was in high school my dad asked me to catch the Snap On guy when he came through the shop to replace a 9/16 socket that was rounded out. Dealer told me “Just grind the end of the socket off to get past the worn part.” Then we argued whether he would warranty a tool I ground on…. I...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    The first question was asking if the rear brakes were locking up before the work was done, did you not drive it before? The reason for the second question was “stock replacement” could still be wrong parts, due to different options many incorrect parts can still bolt right on and sometimes even...

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    Also, did you verify the piston size of the replacement master cylinder?

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    A few clarifying questions: Did the problem exist before replacing everything? if not did you verify your new wheel cylinders and calipers had the same diameter pistons as the originals?

    Is the polished/chrome tailgate cap stock, on my 87.

    If you’re the type to make your own you could mold some Kydex to make a tailgate cap

    Who sells the best replacement gas tank

    I can’t remember what brand they were but I think I had them ordered through O’reilys and picked them up at the store. IIRC I saved a bunch on shipping doing it that way

    Questions for expierienced ultrasonic cleaner users

    Also…. When cleaning small parts you can fill a ziplock with the parts and cleaning solution so you don’t have to mix/waste gallons of solution for a small job

    Questions for expierienced ultrasonic cleaner users

    We used to use 110 volt “stingers” to pre heat the sonic cleaners we had. Heat makes a big difference in the cleaning power on sonic machines. https://a.co/d/gc0TPGa We didn’t worry too much about having everything perfect, we just put everything in the dunk basket and pressed start. We had...

    Bed liner paint.

    For about the same cost in materials and prep you could do a single stage 2K urethane paint job with generic or Summit brand products. Paint won’t hide any existing flaws is the biggest difference, it also takes a little more thought before you start spraying.
