    I’m in love - here’s the truck I’m dating

    I gave 2400 for my 87 GMC Sierra classic 4x4 V2500,with no rustor major issues, it had a few gremlins-fuel pumps,turn signal switch and good glass. I think 3500 would be about 1500 too much. washington truck here as well.

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    I got mine from Classic Industries,not too bad, had to do a little trimming. Cheyenne Pickup parts.com also has them,claim not to have to trim or modify. I think they are bit spendy though. But ya get what ya pay for

    really need the experts on this, runs beautiful won't move

    correct!! if the bearing is to short it may not reach the pressure plate surface, also your adjustment rods for the clutch may need to be adjusted,but if ya got the wrong bearing ya gotta replace it

    is it common to not get much if any bubbles from the front reservoir while bench bleeding a master cylinder

    little update, after gravity bleeding all 4 corners which got a lot of black nasty fluid out the brake pedal seem to be good! I still am gonna pressure bleed the entire thing but at this point everything seems to be working well

    Has anybody removed ethanol from their gas ?

    I use Nuetra, from Schaeffer oils in my gas. I have been using it for years. great product, Have had a rototiller sit for a couple years and would fire right up. It seems to cut down on the bad effects of ethanol fuel.
