    Control Arm Shaft Kit Spacer

    I snapped a stud on my upper control arm on the road and lost my shims and that one convex rectangular washer/spacer. Can I use any type of round convex-type spacer or do I have to spend $12 for one measly spacer at LMC? I realize they allow the shaft to pivot so it seems anything will do but I...

    Fuel Gauge Drama

    My fuel gauge stopped working. It was pegged past full. So I crawled underneath and discovered that the sending unit plug came detached from the tank. So now I have to figure out how to plug it back in without dropping the whole tank. In the process of elimination, I decided to eliminate the...

    "GMC" Stepside Tailgate

    Hi, I'm searching for a 'GMC' tailgate for my '73 stepside. The majority of the ones available are in bad shape. Doesn't have to be perfect. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks.

    Dim Driver Side Tail Lights

    I have a 73 GMC Stepside. The driver side tail lights are extremely dim. It's pointless to use my left rear blinker because all it does is make the whole lamp pulsate. Passenger side works fine. HOWEVER, I did notice that even on the passenger side, the reverse light remains on but very dim when...

    73 GMC Grille

    Greetings! Forgive me if a thread already exists on this matter, (didn't find one) but I am trying to locate a 73 GMC grille with 350 emblem. Can someone point me in the right direction besides ebay? Just trying to touch all bases. Thanks. LMC and all those other places don't sell them. Thanks.

    Truck is not getting fuel

    My truck shut off on me yesterday while on the freeway. I tried putting gas which didn't work. I had it towed to my house. Both fuel pump relays have been replaced. I don't hear the fuel pump when I turn the key on anymore. Before I start the fear the worst, is there anything else I can check...

    Rotten Egg Smell From Exhaust

    I tried to search for a similar thread but couldn't find one. Forgive me if there is one out there. I've been going through my truck pretty consistently for the past year. I'm aware I have a 454 TBI, but I still think that my fuel is being used up just a little bit faster than it should. I also...

    Help! Headlight switch getting hot!

    I had a melted headlight switch connector and a old beat up headlight switch. So I replaced them both including new wires. I turned on the headlights and I could still feel the orange wire was still getting hot. As you can see in the photo, the orange wire splits into two orange wires. I've...

    No Start When Warmed Up?

    Hello There, My Dually starts right up first thing in the morning. But once I park it and run in to the auto parts or something, it has a very hard time starting once the trucks warmed up. So bad, that I'm afraid it's going to leave me stranded. Any suggestions as far as what I should...

    No Running Lights!

    Hey there, Yesterday evening, I started my truck and realized that my instrument panel did not light up when I turned my headlights on. I stepped out of the truck and also realized that none of my running lights were working either. Only my headlights and turn signals. I checked all...

    Truck died when switching tanks

    Hey there. I was filling up at the gas station yesterday. I started up my truck and realized that I had to switch over to the tank I just filled. Right as I hit my fuel tank selector button, the truck just died. It fired right back up though. Any suggestions why? Thank you in advance.

    Hey Fellas! I have an 87 Chevy Dually 1 ton 454 TBI Dually. The TPS and connector which it snaps in to and mounted to the throttle body were melted. Someone was probably spraying too much starter fluid or something. Anyways, I'm trying to locate the connector which mounts directly to the...
