    have you had this same steering issue?

    Lately my '89 'burban v1500 is tracking off on me. its not like bump steer, its more like I get stuck in a track that sends me left until I make a drastic change on the steering wheel and then it will track right until I do the same thing with the steering wheel. when I make a right or left turn...

    am I better staying with a 4 inch lift or going to a 6inch

    I call this a must on any vehicle but especially our lovelies for any thing 35 and bigger to handle the vibration and frame stress from turning. Also I keep going back and forth in this question and as a 6 in lift like others are saying you will have to lengthen drive shafts and many other...

    Thanks Rick, that makes me a bit happier and Ive been told that most heavy duty 1 tons have a 700r4 in them with no issue but i do have my trepidation still. Hi again Craig. Do you have a model # and is it from LMC or Chevy themselves for that radiator? Also that engine bay looks really good...

    Might be out there already, 454 swap into 89 sub

    Couple questions. Will it direct swap at engine mounts? Recommended radiator, torque converter for the th700r4, and will be going to carb for trial run till 500 miles then tbi. The 454 is a motorhome 77 model. What should I look for with the hidden issues? Sorry if this was covered before just...

    Well then, ill shut my face. lol

    will 37's fit??

    Thing is the CUCV's have super heavy duty springs so they are a lot stiffer and the tires don't stuff as much, also the tires are narrower to cut through snow and Mub.

    dash pad

    LMC Truck has em and seems to be pretty reasonable price. Only thing is they only come in black so you will have to paint to match.
