    AC redo after sitting disconnected for a long time

    thank you. Figure I need to see if the clutch even works, check all wiring, etc. Is there any indication if the system has pressure other than releasing thru a shraeder valve? There is no belt around pump, dont know why. Dont know if PO changed anything on the refrigerant side. I know...

    AC redo after sitting disconnected for a long time

    the 87 6.2 we bought has not had the AC working since long before we bought it I believe. Is there a simpletons version of troubleshooting the AC and where to check, verify etc anywhere on here? Like AC 101 for *********? I dont know squat about AC's but would like to try and get this thing...

    ORD front lift springs caster correction needed?

    swapping some super stiff front 4" springs for a set of used ORD 4". Planned on reusing the degree shims that were in there, but the center pin hole is oversized and wont work with the new center pins I bought. (Old pack had a very long head that stuck thru the shims. DO ORD springs come with...

    4 Inch Lift kits

    Hey Stephen, Been meaning to call your shop and ask. Id like to run a set of your front 4" springs but would be interested in running a stockish 63/4" rear spring on a shackle flip to level it out. (yes Im aware the front hanger needs to be moved, i did cosider inboarding and moving under the...

    Rock slider attachments

    thanks. I was more concerned about years of wheeling and landing on rocks. Best I can tell, there are no sleeves going thru the boxed area correct? Any issues with crushing the box over time or the holes egging out?

    Rock slider attachments

    A lot of the links for rock sliders are dead now. I see DIY and a fw others use the body channel to mount to. Im sure Kurt makes good stuff, but Im curious if anyone has had bad results from mounting to the boxed area over time. Was originally planning on mounting to frame, but then they will...

    steering column shift collar orientation?

    putting my dash back together. I understand how the shift indicator clips onto the collar on the column. my collar has three "clips? that presses into the main column neck. Do they need to be oriented one way or another when pressed inside the column? I can get everything mounted up, but as...

    deaver 63's

    anyone use deaver 63" springs in the back? found a local set for a pickup with a 4" lift. was thinking I would try with some CFM front hangers and stay with an upright shackle. Might be just the ticket for lift, ride and flex. spring rate is really the only question. Guess I need to call...

    lift kit identification?

    it rides pretty horribly. I always thought procomp used black bushings, but imagine you can get what ever color you want.

    rustoleum, converter, what? before welding patch panels in?

    Im replacing some small sections of flooring that had begun rusting. Its right where the floor steps up and flattens out in front of the back seat. Where the 1/2 bolts are along the floor, that secure the floor to the underside bracing. I have cut out to decent metal, but there is still some...

    lift kit identification?

    Ive got the hogback kit for steering reinforcement. Checking the frame around the box looks pretty good. When I convert to crossover Ill weld the plates on. Till then, I may just use the crossmember. I dont mind the work, as it gives me a chance to show the kid what different things do to...

    lift kit identification?

    ID be all for throwing the stock 52's up front. getting differing opinions on streetability. My teenager will be driving this, so I dont want it too unstable. Ive got a set of 57" ford springs I was thinking about throwing in the back, unless I can find some 63's for a fair price.

    lift kit identification?

    not much room for the shackle to move back anyway before hitting the frame. I would have expected the springs to be a bit longer. Is it normal for people to have to move the hanger forward on a lift? First time chevy owner, but that seems dumb if the manufacturors arent making longer springs...

    lift kit identification?

    i understand how leaf springs ride, but this is awful. A well tuned leaf setup can work great, usually with high dollar parts of course, but this is like the polar opposite of that. 5 thick leaves and lousy shocks. hoping the swaybar likes will help, but want a plan B till the one tons and...
