    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    I have a GMRS license. Just a fee, no test or anything. Here's a comparison between GMRS and CB. https://www.therangerstation.com/overlanding-and-off-road/cb-radio-vs-gmrs-radio/#gsc.tab=0

    Except that suburbans don't have stake pockets.

    2" drop spring question. With pics

    What Hucked said. They might move around a little. Won't hurt anything. You'll be fine.

    Will this lift fit my k5/jimmy?

    It looks like both the 6" and 8" BDS kits come with lift blocks. I'd suggest calling them to see if you can get parts to make a 8" K5 kit.

    1978 "Duct Tape Camaro"

    I neglected to mention a very important part of the story. This is my crew. The guy in my middle is my best friend and if it wasn't for him, this car wouldn't have ever been done. We've known each other for almost 20 years and we hang out pretty much every weekend. He helped me through a really...

    It's not terribly expensive to have stickers made anymore. I've had many made over the years. Stickermule, vistaprint, and several others work well.

    LED conversion

    There's two issues regarding turn signals. Different polarities and the flasher. Look for LED bulbs that say "non-polarity". These have a rectifier in them so they work with either polarity. Flashers have been covered already.

    1978 "Duct Tape Camaro"

    It's so much fun. Especially when it's a car you can just beat on.

    1978 "Duct Tape Camaro"

    Even after blowing up the engine, I was hooked. Drag racing rocks. I'm in it now. Now I'll never have money for drugs. November 2023. Stripping the motor to have the block bored. Big hole in piston, big scar in cylinder wall. While the engine is out to be built by a guy who used to do it for...

    1978 "Duct Tape Camaro"

    Back in late 2009 I bought a 1978 Camaro for $600. It was just a roller. I was unaware that it had been wrecked in the front, and I was just a kid who wanted a fun project and got it on a whim. It was "retail therapy" as I had lost my best friend to suicide about 6 months prior. Stripped it the...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    I'd catch hell from the radio people for this, but a GMRS license, magnetic roof antenna, and radio can all be had for around $100 total and works pretty fantastic. There are repeaters all over the place and people listening in all the time.

    Brake Booster Adjustment

    I don't know if the original rod is adjustable off the top of my head, but if it is, it's at the pedal. There's a threaded on clevis that you can adjust.

    TH400 Yoke Bolt Came Out

    Finally replaced the housing. Yoke had some color, but no grooves. Probably got hot when the whole thing happened. Trans mount was toast. The threads in the output shaft seem chewed up. I couldn't get the new bolt started. Just left the bolt out. I've been driving it around without issue...

    14 bolt FF missing parts?!

    No kidding? I thought my '84 had two nuts. Learned something new today!

    14 bolt FF missing parts?!

    I don't know that I would say dangerous, as the key was acting as the lock washer and lock nut. May have been a bush fix. Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix that works. Definitely get the replacement parts and put it back together right, but keep the key in the glove box!

    Aftermarket Lock Kit

    https://www.crutchfield.com/S-GXUuZNQFeND/p_220PRPDL25/Audiovox-PROPDL25-door-lock-actuators.html The Audiovox kit does. You can add your own keyless module to it as well. I'm planning on doing the same thing.

    Wiring Harness? Choosing one?

    Totally. As with any wiring modification, one needs to look at the whole picture. Both ATC fuses and circuit breakers are well characterized and can be picked based on their data sheets. Even a Bussmann 20 amp ATC fuse needs to see almost 40 amps to pop in 1 second.

    Wiring Harness? Choosing one?

    Addition to two previous posts- several companies make breakers that fit in ATC/ATO fuse holders. These are the crimpers I would recommend: https://a.co/d/3jkjLDE

    Gas in Oil!?

    No, it had to be loaded up. 3k rpm in neutral wouldn’t do anything. Engine runs great. Has a properly functioning PCV system too.
