    1995 k3500 CC RV Puller

    Thank you thank you... I just printed out that post for the folder. I have the rearend, knuckles and rest of the brake system from an 04 dually to do the same thing you did to my little black 99 dually. I was not looking forward to the pedal, pushrod, etc shenanigans. This is so perfect for when...

    Redneck DoD

    I had a maroon with white interior cutlass with the diesel. White interior was almost instantly gray. Loved the car, hated the motor, so I swapped in an interceptor motor. I let my sister take it to work, and forgot to tell her that the linkage didn't line up with the shifter. She put it in D...

    Redneck DoD

    You've got 300k on the original vortec 454 injectors? That in itself is amazing. I'd spend my time/money on a new set of intake gaskets, injectors, and possibly a fpr or some o2 sensors. A good exhaust is worth a bit of mpg on that engine also. Could also drop to 3.73's. Love the creative...

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    LOL... there's nothing quite like seeing a tire rolling by you on it's own, is there? I was a passenger when we moved over into the left turn lane and slowed down to wait for a gap in the traffic. Then I see something rolling thru the main intersection to my right. I laughed and just watched it...

    Ford Center Caps 3140

    I'm not a member on any ford forums, so just listing here and crossing my fingers. If no one has any interest they'll go on CL. Two 3140 Center Caps for Ford. I think these were used in late 90's on various vans and trucks. Excellent, new condition. Not sure where they came from or why I have...

    5.7 Vortec intermittent long crank --> crank no start, backfires, clunking

    So it starts fine when everything is either hot or cold, but hard starts while it's cooling down. Disproportionate cooling item? something external is cooling down faster than the engine itself and losing proper signal/connection during that time? crank position sensor? starter solenoid issue...

    Solid brakes now..

    I remember that thread. I thought and thought about my complete list but a week later, I was still remembering new ones I'd forgot about, and never went back to post. Thanks for the refresh though!! :)

    Previously owned gmt400's shouldn't be listed in a signature on gmt400.com? uh-oh... where do I turn myself in?

    Can anyone help me identify this truck?

    In VA, all auto service stations, tire shops, etc have access to the VIN and vehicle info by just inputting the license plate. The digital blanket that is being laid upon us is becoming impossible to avoid, and will not end well for us law abiding commonfolk. Criminals may be evil, but they...

    New guy from Ohio

    LOL... my guess is that cargo light only works if the interior lights are on. Either by dialing up the dimmer, or opening a door. When I'm thanking a trucker for flashing his lights and letting me back in, I turn on the cargo light and then bump the dimmer dial up a few times to flash him some...

    If you haven't already replaced, the front O2 sensors would be on my radar also

    Torsion bar swap and crank

    :) LOL... noooo, I've got 255/85r16's (32" on truck) on stock steelies on the dually... they are an 80 psi tire. I am getting some 34's mounted on 8 lug 20's this week though. I have been thinking about what psi they will end up at, but they are on a K2500 burb. They are also an 80 psi tire...

    Torsion bar swap and crank

    That's a hard tire. I can believe it rides like a wagon! I'd start there. Different tires of course, but I run 55 psi up front and 70 in rear on a dually But I am curious to see what people say about the TB switch

    Torsion bar swap and crank

    I'd focus on softening up the rear first, lose some leafs (leaves?) and use helper bags and/or timbren bump stops for loads. Are your tires actually 33" measured on the truck, or was that the advertised size? Do you have a lift on it? Also, what tire pressures are you running? edit: I went thru...

    My '95 RCLB C1500

    Love this build, and that shop. If you don't mind me asking, what is the backstory on those 3+1 rear leafs? I've been seeing them throughout your build, but had assumed they were on there to knock a few inches off the rear and soften up the ride a bit. But it doesn't look like that is the case...

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    Sooooo... excuse my ignorance. I just don't pay much attention to anything built this century. What seats/console are those? That's a proper sized console for a big truck.

    Can anyone help me identify this truck?

    Posting your client's license plates on the web is ballsy too much vaguery... I agree, something's fishy

    Mirrors for my truck?

    Nice truck!! With those wheels I don't think the stainless dumbos would look too bad. If staying with standard style, cover the mirror in painter's tape and spray paint them body blue. If you don't like it, spray them gray. Then you can take the tape off and have them done professionally once...

    What plastic trim is this?

    There is a set of those 3" flares on sale in the for sale section https://www.gmt400.com/threads/used-xenon-3-flares-92-99-truck-suburban-tahoe.67200/

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    I'm not saying that the problem is the attachment, just that a gear box issue doesn't necessarily transfer to the steering wheel.

    Sway bar link angle and popping noises..etc

    In my opinion, the issue is at the steering gear box. I chased a higher speed wobble for a while once on a suburban. Once discovered, it boggled my mind that the gear box attachment to the frame (rust) was the source because it never transferred to the steering wheel end of the equation. It only...

    Mirrors for my truck?

    I think those were internet photos just to illustrate the mirror style. That area code is in virginia, the poster is in Iowa, and hasn't been on here in over a year. LMC and Classic Industries both have them. I've got them on a few trucks. The shaking is not bad, but make sure to check for any...
