    Rear hatch weatherstripping

    update to my last post. I investigated my last comments and it didnt help. I adjusted the striker/latch and that helped some to pull it closer. but in the end i got fed up and did what you did with some RVT sealant

    Rear hatch weatherstripping

    taking a closer look at it, i noticed that where the tailgate and glass meet the rubber seal is different there. it has a solid core for about 6 inches in that section. it seems to me that the glass cant close all the way due to binding up on that solid part of the seal which then causes the...

    Big brake kits

    Big brake kits

    I look at it like this. If I rear end someone because I couldn't stop I'll have to fork over a few grand anyway. I'd rather avoid that and have good stopping power

    Big brake kits

    Does anyone have experience with big brake kits? I have already done what I can to stiffen the pedal and get better bite. Im looking to to cough up the money and get a big brake kit if they are substantially better

    Steering Gear Box

    Im late to this post but for anyone else that does this in the future I used a Redhead steering box. they are way better then any of the rebuilt ones you can buy form parts stores. I highly recommend.

    96 Yukon GT 4x4 5.3 or LS swap

    96 Yukon GT 4x4 5.3 or LS swap

    no it wasn't. it was running between 40-60psi. i tore the engine down looking for clues but couldn't find any definite reason why it would have spun bearings. the only good thing that came of all this is now i have a truck with 4k miles on the engine & no oil leaks in my driveway. I also took...
