WPNZRULE could you explain to me step by step how you did your tail lights? I want mine to look exactly like that.

I replaced my water pump a couple weeks ago. Its a simple enough job, but a pain to do with nobody else around. Ha ha. Also had to replace the transmission speed sensor. I swapped out gauge, HVAC, and interior lights to leds. I bought two sets of Hifonics components to put in my Tahoe. Thats the next project.

oh yeah, different shims on the rear axle to get rid of the vibration. I can say I have learned a lot about drive line angles though. That and it is not fun to remove the rear end of the truck with out a lift, I am so spoiled sometimes. Jack stands and a floor jack on the last go around. Got some shims if anyone needs some...

Hi guys - new to the forum but had my 97 Hoe for 10 years now. Just did the front brakes last weekend (pads/rotors/fluid flush). Also washed my wheels and tires with Mothers Foaming tire and wheel cleaner before re-mounting after completing brake job. Note on this product. While it does do the job as advertised, it doesn't foam up like on the TV commercials.
Water pump is in the very near future as its weeping out of the hole.

Spending my weekend tearing intake off due to infamous leak. from my observation only external,right behind alternator. I have a 96 2dr 4wd 107,000 miles. Just bought it 4/10 with 104,000 on it. Trying to decide how much more I wanna do to it. MFI,billet distributor,new power steering pump(minor leakage),etc. new water pump a must while i'm in there.(decisions-decisions).
