    Front end alignment issues

    I have not done it myself 'yet', but to my understanding, these trucks use shims of sorts to help align the front end. A friend of mine wrecked his truck and has rebuilt it from the frame up. He is the one that said something about using shims. He said it's also a pain in the arse because...

    Rear end pop

    After a few days of searching and everything, it sounds like it could be caused by axle seals going bad. Either way, not too worried on the brakes, at least it's stopping!! Still want to get the popping noise figured out. It's nothing CRAZY but I want to figure it out before It gets worse...

    Rear end pop

    SOMETIMES while turning in reverse or drive, the rear end will make a slight pop noise. To my understanding it has 3.08 gears. It doesn't affect the truck while driving or anything, but I like to fix things before it breaks more stuff. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated. Also...

    No Spark...

    Fixed!! Sorry I didn't get back to the forum sooner, been super busy. I changed out the ignition control module and she fired right up. Autozone tested it 6 times and said it was good. But, of course, it was bad, problem fixed and I'm back to cruising!

    No Spark...

    Ok, so just put my motor back together, everything up and going. At first I didn't have spark, new coil fixed that. Ran great at idle, going down the road everything. Took it home, stopped someplace, got back in started right back up. I tried to get on it and it seemed like it was not throwing...

    Head Gasket Replacement

    ...Damn it... haha. Ok, so I pulled everything apart, before seeing this, which shows that I need to visit here more often. The very back head bolt was indeed, not torqued down... and of course, it was the last bolt.. :banghead: ... needless to say, the gasket was fine, and going back together...

Took starter off because that's where is was dripping, did a pressure test, and it is leaking, a lot, right under the head. Time to replace the head gasket. Now the fix seems simple, but looking for any tips...

    Also, I keep hearing that there is a bus bar ground under the dash? where the heck is this thing???? Neither one of my power windows will go down, and I would really like to track down all possible options as to why.

    What is this???

    I just put a tach in. Running about 2200 rpm at 60. Still trying to find out the whole wiring deal with this truck and how its exactly set up. I need to get all the headlights, turns to work but it's been raining lately so I've been stuck inside spending time working on the Cafe Racer.

    Cutting front coils

    I've been thinking about doing this as well. I know they sell lowering kits, but if I can just swap the rear axle and cut springs, that could save tons of money. What all is involved when doing something like this?
