    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    No but bad plugs can make the idle jump and run rough.

    Haha thanks. What has me worried is that I just replaced them a month ago.

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    No I dont but I kinda have a feeling it has something to do with my spark plugs being burnt or I should say a majority of them. Too bad the weather is gonna be shitty the next few days or I would tear into it a little.

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    Im sorry I meant a week. Well it started making funny sounds today. Sounds like I have a supercharger on it and after I stop the idle remains high and then drops off.

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    My friends shop uses the Summit single stage and hasnt had a problem yet with it. Doesnt matter anyway. My situation has changed and the truck might be off the road this week. Putting $150 worth of gas in it every month is getting old and I think I have bad valve seals.

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    I have seen the Summit paint and it looks pretty damn good. Also I heard a rumor that the Summit stuff is essentially DuPont just with Summits name on it. Dont know how true that is. Like I said the truck is 16yrs old, I am not looking for a kick ass paint job, just something that is better...

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    I was planning on using 600, this is what I usually use when I paint anything. I meant in "one shot" because there is no color matching since it is single stage and no flake going into the paint. I could be wrong. I am just use to my cars having a little bit of flake in them and they always...

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    Yea this I know. I already started sanding down my roof and my hood and front fenders. I am going to have to spot prime some areas. I also have to pull a dent out and do some body work where some stupid kids threw a log at my quarter panel. Might just have my friends body shop do that for me...

    Repainting the truck. Have some questions.

    Ok, so the decision has been made to repaint the entire truck as soon as the weather breaks 70 and holds. Truck will be repainted red and removing the silver this time around. Also dont plan on priming it since overall the truck and body is in good shape and just needs a good sanding. I have...

    Tail light, niteshade? has anyone done this?

    Night shades is great but dont get too carried away with the coats. You want to spray nice thin coats and build up to your desired darkness. Nightshades has been known to run and I have first experience with this. Make sure you sand down your tails enough and clean really well before applying

    Old idea might be my new idea

    Hmm I didnt even think about removing it. Oh I am extremely indecisive lol. I changed my mind a thousand times on my Audi before I finally settled on all my mods. lol I would love to lower it since I love street trucks but since it is 4wd I think my best bet for right now is to raise it a...

    Old idea might be my new idea

    Lol I actually thought about that. Before I do anything though I really need to change my rear axle seals and get new shocks all the way around.

    Old idea might be my new idea

    I love your truck. But for me its lifted just a tad too high to be a daily driver.

    Old idea might be my new idea

    Sorry I am on heavy medication right now and fighting a 103 fever so my thoughts probably arent clear. Not asking a question just making a statement and as always opinions and comments are welcome with my thoughts.

    Old idea might be my new idea

    Well as I stated in one of my first threads, I am extremely indecisive and always have a new idea. A guy I work with has a brush guard for my truck. He said I can come get it anytime I want to. Also like I mentioned earlier my truck suffers from clear coat cancer and was going to try and...

    285's on stock Denali ?

    I had 285's on my truck and tossed them. They were way to big for a stock truck with no lift. I dont even have 285's on my dads Duramax. 265/75 is the perfect size for a stock truck IMO.

    Nitto's on NNBS 20's on OBS Yukon

    Wow.. looks great. Makes me want to lift my truck a little slap a set of these on myself.

    I have an idea...

    Yea plans are in the works to drop it more. I want to get a OEM set of wheels and do drop shackles and drop keys. I would really like to remove the 4wd and drop it even more but for now I think an additional 2in all around would be best. Right now I work for an engineering company and rebuild...

    I have an idea...

    Yea I think I might do it. And the indent in the body between the red and silver would be black to break it up a little. I like to think outside the box, btw I love your C10 build.

    I have an idea...

    SO I am big into C10's, I love everything about them and I was actually looking for one prior to buying the Hoe but I figured 4wd and 4 doors is more practical. Anywho, my truck had some clear coat cancer when I bought it and the roof and the hood had the worst of it. I fixed the hood but the...

    Fender flares / lower body paint

    I thought about doing this as well on my truck but went in a different direction. However, I found a company that sells industrial non slip paint. It comes in either regular smooth paint or textured and goes for about $135 a gallon. I am trying to find the name of it but its on my other computer...

    Worth Buying?

    Find a local mechanic you trust and have a pre purchase inspection done. I bought my truck with 136,000 miles in June, it is a '95 ( Low mileage for the yr) the paint had some cancer on it but the interior was perfect and mechanically it was very smooth. I only paid $2200, so look around cause...

    how can i improve a stiff ride?

    The angle of your control arm looks fine and your axle angle looks pretty good also. Your torsion bar dont look like they are cranked much at all. However, your shocks look like they have seen better days. Also I asked about the tires because if you have an extremely stiff tire then the ride...
