    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    So they only adjusted the toe and called it done. What was the point of putting it on the machine?

    The build of "Wh4t3v3rs"

    Mate, just pace yourself, there is no point rushing and regretting it. Life has to come first, but Clark will still happen.

    My 1991 RCLB C1500 Silverado

    Make sure you spend as much time driving it as you do working on/ upgrading it as that is where the real pleasure is.

    Dad's '98 Resto

    Yes we do, although you can't get a real ute anymore as they were based on a car platform, so essentially a stationwagon with no rear roof. Much like an El Camino but without a full chassis. The name will live on though like most references to times gone by.

    Dad's '98 Resto

    Yes, it's kind of funny typing on here and the autocorrect keeps trying to change the same words I use everyday. Sometimes I have to Google an American term that I read in a thread that don't make any sense to me before I know what they are talking about, then there are the different States that...

    Teal daily driven farm truck.

    All that black in the fluid used to be rubber seals in a previous life, definitely bleed until clear but consider that the master cylinder may be on it's last legs as well.

    Dad's '98 Resto

    If you are anything like I was when I got mine repainted, you will be paranoid every time somebody walks past it, especially if they are pushing a shopping trolley etc.

    Hilarious lift

    His springs aren't springing. Hope he has diff locks to prevent the tires just spinning in the air.

    I think you need to be registered with gearhead-efi.com to view them.

    New 1997 Chevy 1500 Z71 (TO ME)

    The first, and most important, thing to do with your truck is drive it and enjoy it. While you are doing that you will get to learn all about it's little issues and things that need tweaking. Once you get to know your truck you will know what you want to do with it. But don't rush and overthink...

    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    When you have fixed it make sure to lube it well when sliding it back together. Aluminium likes to stick to itself. That damage looks like it has been getting locked up and twisting the base section as the lid closes instead of rotating at the hinge point.

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

    Those were great engines.The Capris were like a poor mans Mustang down here. A mate at high school put one in his Anglia van. He found an aftermarket intake manifold to bolt a 4 barrel Holley onto it, then got a Nitous setup that worked with the Holley. With a 4 speed gearbox and a narrowed...

    Drunkcanuks build...... finally!!!

    Damn, I went over the scales as I left the refuse station last weekend and it read 2550 with a tank of gas and me. I had better start cutting back on the snacks :Big Laugh:

    Drunkcanuks build...... finally!!!

    Mine is a 1988 and had been clunking every time I turned the key on and off since I got it 8 years ago. Then one cold morning there was no clunking, and no hot air. The little plastic teeth break off and no longer turn the actuator door. When you remove the stereo/vent panel in the centre of the...

    Drunkcanuks build...... finally!!!

    It's directly behind the stereo, so you could have bumped a 'ready to fail' actuator and triggered it's demise.

    Drunkcanuks build...... finally!!!

    I second this as it returns to start position after key is turned off. I think it is blend actuator, so at least it is in the front so easier to get at.

    BNielsen's 2000 Chevy K3500

    Safety chains have to be able to not only support the weight of the trailer, and load, but also the shock loading of the connection separating suddenly. The chains connection to the tow hitch also has to be rated to suit that load. So often you see trailers with flimsy chains and connectors that...
