    NP246 to NP208 solid axle swap VSS

    Alright, first, it's been a long time since I've been here. Second, I'm finally getting around to this solid axle swap. The only front axle I could get a hold of (for not an extortionate price) in SoCal was a passenger pumpkin 10 bolt, out of a 1990 or 91 Suburban, which dictates a...

    OBD DTC's, can't find 'em

    So, my ABS light came on. ABS is not that big of an issue for me but since it's come on the truck just hasn't been right. It's been weak on start up cranking over and the truck feels sluggish driving. So, I plugged in an OBD reader to see if any codes came up. I got two and they're not in my...

    How do I fix this?!

    Jumped the truck... :cool: The roof rack didn't survive. Well it did but the rack, spare tire and lights all landed separate from the truck. And none of the guys got any pics or video. :mad3: I'm thinking the only way for me to fix this and prevent it from happening again is to pull the...

    Hi-Lift on front tow hook?

    So, off-road a regular jack just doesn't cut it. I've got a Hi-Lift and want to know if the front tow hooks would be strong enough to jack up one of the front wheels. To either change wheels or place a traction board under it. I'm thinking one of my 5K lbs cargo straps around a hook and up...

    Trouble. Oil in radiator?

    So, my radiator fluid is maybe a thousand miles old. Shit looks like chocolate milk. Would suggest to my amateur mechanical brain, oil in the fluid. As far as I can tell my oil is still good. It's clean on the dip stick. A friend of mine said if it's a bad seal or gasket, oil is under higher...

    My new 1970 DeVille

    My new ride. :pepper: 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. It almost fits in the parking spot. And puts SUV's to shame. I'm pretty sure the 472 cubic inch motor weighs more than a lot of new cars. :rockit: Global warming... :flipthebird: I hadn't even owned it 24 hours yet and the...

    Help. Parking brake light stays on.

    So, I just changed my rear brake shoes. Now my parking brake light won't go out. I'm 99 percent sure the brakes are not engaged. Release doesn't do anything, pedal is up, and there is slack in the cable going back to the brakes. While changing them I accidentally dropped the lever off the...

    CB hook up?

    I just installed my new CB radio. A Uniden PRO520XL. I've got it working. I'm pretty sure. I can hear calls every now and then. I haven't tried to make calls yet. I had it hooked up to the radio fuse. But I'm not sure I'm getting much power out of it. I also noticed the higher my RPM's the...

    Top End Kits, options?

    I just flipped through an article in the June issue of Chevy High Performance. Specifically their article on top end kits titled "Top Brawn". I picked it up because I figured, a small block 350 is a small block 350. But all the kits they show seem to be for carburated engines. Searching...

    Sway bar removal?

    Pros and cons of sway bar removal. Pros: more flex in the front. Cons: less stable, especially in turns. Has anyone done this? Is there anything I'm not seeing as a disadvantage to this? I figure it will be less stable in turns and such but I don't drive fast anyways. And I'm...

    EGR removal

    Exhaust Gas Recycle, I think it is. Helps warm your engine on start up from what I was told. So, while I was working with a friend we some how got on the subject of EGR and how he gets rid of his on every car he's owned. Says he'd rather trade a rough start for more power. As we were busy I...
