    Ladder Rack Review from Harbor Freight (et al)

    I'm going to do a review of this ladder rack as a heads-up to others considering it. I've seen it for sale on several other websites and Amazon, and they're all identical. First, if you can't weld you may not want this. I'll have to disassemble some sections of it later and weld/ paint. If you...

    ~1979 Non-AC HVAC Housing Feeler

    Probably a long shot but thought I'd check. 2 of the 3 studs are broke off mine, and there's some heavy rust/loss of metal on the metal components inside. I've already started some rust inhibitor on the metal parts, planned to silicone what I can. I've already read the thread about 3M tape to...

    Sliding rear window frame parts NEEDED

    I thought I could order a "latch kit" from LMC and get what I needed but I was wrong. The passenger side of the rear window frame (on the sliding panel) came off and God only knows what dad did with it. I have a good latch kit now but I need the vertical window frame piece that goes on the...

    '02 Sierra P0440

    Like the title says, code P0440, "Evaporative Control System Malfunction". When sitting still idling I can open the driver's door and smell gas strong. Strike 1 = gas cap is an aftermarket locking style. Took off the charcoal box by the tank, shook it, checked the lines, all seems OK with it but...

    T-case fluid confusion

    A lot of you know I'm having trouble with the front driveshaft spinning in my truck while in 2WD since converting to TH350. Tore it apart today and saw nothing askew.

    Torque Converter Selection - AGAIN

    Main reason I'm asking again is we had this big-ass storm here, had to buy a generator, cost of fuel for it, lost some groceries, other expenses and I've been revamping my selection for a torque converter. I was looking at just plain stock replacement for now, just to get this together and...

    I have seen a couple posts mentioning a mod like this and it has me thinking it would be the best idea for my truck.

    Rear brake wheel cylinder compatability?

    I was wondering if the rear wheel cylinders of corporate 12-bolt and 10-bolt rear ends are the same? Might need to swap my 12-bolt wheel cylinders on the blue truck if they are leaking on the blue truck like I think they are, if they're the same?
