Looking At Buying 1997 Cheyenne C1500 As Daily Driver Feedback Please
You are very welcome. For the heck of it, a random thought, "Think of buying $8k in American Silver Eagles", let them sit until the CRV is done, see what that said silver trades for then, might be a bit different, never know lol.

Looking at a 1984 and have questions

Is there such a thing as Cams for Dummies
Way back when, looking into same stuff, Comp Cams had an interactive chart, some gearing info, matching stuff up for which ever the job required. Called tech support and learned some stuff. Something to compare with when shopping or learning. Have fun, enjoy the ride! Had a super duper old guy...- 84c10Tony

Exhaust single to dual on a tight budget - Then we get into some after issues
A thought for you, take the heat plate, cut an inch or two away from the ends, bend that into "feet" on the corners for a strap or weld, might work for the application. Then maybe cut out sugar and any HFCS, try some Valerian root for the stress instead of "alcamahol", easier on the system, the...- 84c10Tony

Should this new guy buy this '85?
Hmm, since he wants you to tow away his junk, and two mech's didn't make it right?, mech wise, (no offense) your not at the pro level, then "finding a good mech" is a Very Pricey $20k hit with lots of "swing and a miss". So...by the time your done, and it will have problems due to weird swap...- 84c10Tony

Should I trade for a Square?
Hmm, now that update is in? Uh...NO, not a good deal for you. A while back had a 400 swapped in (different vehicle), ended in $4k of bad dreams. After that fiasco, thought I had learned something...nope, still learning. Had a college try to do a rebuild on my 84 305 at 200k (g/f's father was...- 84c10Tony

Should I trade for a Square?
I don't know much about a plow, (years of manual shoveling in Michigan) but if it has this kit? https://www.snowplowsdirect.com/timbren-suspension-enhancement-system It read it should be even better. So, my thought was, how about putting a plow on what you have now?, about 5k of stuff?, plus or...- 84c10Tony

This is probably a bad idea, but I'm too cheap to pay for a tow.
Short note, some auto ins policies have towing included, or reimbursement. Long note, when Murphy's law applies to towing, (we already know),...so how much is Your Deductible? Going into town, in that area? hmm...- 84c10Tony

True, hmm, instead of doing all that work, then fix trans, brakes, computers, fuel delivery, on n on etc... how about keeping both for what they are built for?...no need to mess with the engineer's design.

If you would like some great info...check out Rich Weyand's posts here, awesome intelligent guy with common sense. "Simplicity and Torque".

Gentlemen, take a look at this wierdness...odd "crack" in diff housing
Hiya!, Good catch for info and thinking. Looks like basic casting error to me and doesn't hurt anything.
