    Momma Got A New Pair of High Heels

    So I recently finished up on a rather extensive project on Carla's truck. Santa was very generous this year and brought her a 4" lift and some new shoes. Hence the reference to high heels.LOL Anyway, it's a 4" Tough Country lift that took me way too long to get put on. Along with that came...

    UPS Man Came

    Been dealing with more health/surgery issues lately so I haven't checked in much. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Just finished a 4" lift install on Carla's truck. That included a nearly complete front suspension/axle rebuild and detailing. Also got new wheels and 315/75-16E...

    Factory Turbo Oil Supply

    Can anyone with a factory turbo give me the specs on the oil supply line fitting coming out of the block just behind the intake manifold? I have a factory turbo setup and the only thing I'm missing is the 2 fittings on the engine side of the line. Mostly I'm looking for rise coming off the block...

    5.3 Info Please

    My brother-in-law has an '07 classic 1500 ECSB with the 5.3. It's one of those that the dealership put the lift and big tires on to add bling and sold it that way new. He likes the truck and it serves well for what he uses it for. Problem is when the dealership modded it, they just added the...

    ARB Lockers

    ARB finally made the announcement. They've introduced a locker for the AAM 11.5 rear axle found in the late GM and Dodge trucks. For a measly $1063 you can order one from your friendly ARB dealer. They are set to start delivery sometime in September. Just something else to save pennies for...

    Starter Relay Question

    So what's the signs of a starter relay going bad? Had to T/S by myself since there was no one around to hit the starter (ignition switch) for me. Batteries are good, but when you hit the key, it acts like they are almost dead. When I jumper from the battery to the output post on the relay, turns...

    Site has been jerky and slow

    Has anyone else experienced this here. Everything has been moving in slow motion for me only on this site the last couple of days. Everything has been jerky, can't ever find the damn curser. I finally just give up and log out. I have cleared cookies, emptied temp files and all that. I visit at...

    JD570 Grader

    Anybody have a source for info on IP replacement on a John Deere 570 Grader? It's a 1970 model if that matters. The factory manual isn't very good on this topic. In particular, it had the IP rebuilt and installed by a mechanic. Now, about 25 hrs later, it's leaking fuel into the crankcase. Said...

    Question About Batteries, Starters, and other Tron Robbing Devices

    Here's some background. Carla had mentioned that the WTS light had been staying on longer and longer on her truck lately. Finally Saturday morning, the light took forever and the truck wouldn't start. I attribute some of this to the overnight temp and not plugging it in. It wouldn't even jump...

    Speedometer Question

    So the last few days I've been trying to get some nitnoid stuff fixed on my daughter's truck before she takes off in it for college in three weeks. Had to replace the headlight dimmer switch which was causing the low beams to go out over bumps...a little un-nerving in the dark. LOL Then I...

    Tire Question

    Time for new treads on Carla's '91. Presently it has 285/75-16 BFG AT's. It is unlifted with the exception of air bags on the front to level it. I am thinking of going up to 315/75-16 which will be going from a 33" to 35" tire and adding 1" width. I was wondering if anyone is running this combo...

    Dash Brake Light

    So what are the inputs for the dash idiot brake light? If I recall correctly, they are: 1. Parking brake set 2. Low brake pressure (vacuum?) 3. Low brake fluid I have a constant dash light on...very annoying. The parking brake is released, brake pressure is good, and fluid level is right...
