the main issue with side posts is corrosion that gets in there and you can't see it especially with the factory GM cables that have the boot over them. also with the little spacer that allows double cables. dis-similar metals cause a chemical reaction, that happens with happens as well with...

the dual post is a good option too! using both on each battery is good for better connections!

before you install though, get you a roll of the return hose. your gonna want to replace all of that small hose. there are kits that are pre-cut at the auto parts, but you can also get a roll of the stuff too. I used the pre-cut kit on my 95, I will have to look up the part number if you...

the main thing on balancing them is making sure one isn't way out of whack, but with new old stock, it's probably unlikely that will happen. if you install and your smoking on the first startup diminishes to only having just a little. you know you've found the main cause. meanwhile have...

I just thought about it now, but what about electro-plating? there are options there like copper, nickle and what not. it's takes time but it's something most can do at home. I don't think the plating will come off from the inside of the line when done, but silicone rubber plugs can be...

it used to be that way, but nowadays not so much. being those are new old stock, it's possible they were tested. They will. it's rare these days to find one that needs the coarse thread injectors. pull the #1 out and see / compare. just be careful with the return lines and barbs so you...

as far as it being protected. yes and no... every circuit in the cab is protected by a fuse, but some of the leads coming off that block go direct to other things like the alternator and whatnot. on most rigs of this age, it's always recommended to replace the battery cables with heavy...

You can always install a 100 amp breaker similar to the ones used on car stereo amps. something that is re-settable and will mount on the firewall next to the distro block. I second the notion to run a heavier gauge wire direct from the battery also. GM is known for using wires that are...

I would say get them balanced. best kind of insurance policy for long term. see what Chris says. factory spec is 2150psi balanced within 25 psi of each other. most any diesel shop can do it for you, check out prices though. @MrMarty51 has sent a few sets to a good shop near him that I...

Part # on that box comes up as the short body turbo injectors.

I've been doing some research on heat treating PLA and it seems that you can heat it to a certain temp and hold it there for a while. it will slowly harden or crystalize and be good to use in the outdoors or inside a vehicle. I kinda did that by accident leaving a piece I made in my truck...

Right now I'm just using PLA. it's not meant for outdoor use nor heat, but I want to experiment with it giving it a coat of clear to protect from the sun and see what happens. I can switch to PETG which will hold up on it's own better and possibly ASA, but ASA has been a thorn in my side...

I'm working on tuning and perfecting the prints Once I get that done I can mass produce them LOL.

The squarebody's are luxury! it's how you look at it lol. today's luxury cars I see nothing but problems and multiple trips to the dealers for repair!

If only we could find brackets to fit the newer AC compressors or a sanden style to the 95 and earlier models. I would love to ditch that fabulous R4 pancake compressor!!

Think I might make two of them one for each truck, spritz some rattle can clear over them and affix to the tailgates.

The spousal unit thinks I have too much free time LOL. been slowly (taking my sweet time) putting the 95 back together and started toying with other things.... made this for the tailgate. the old sticker is torn up and painted over, so I figure this will make a nice addition rather than...

$20 is dirt cheap!!

the best way i have found to check part fitment is to look them up on RA. even on some of the auto parts sites, see if the part numbers are the same. there are even times where the part numbers are different, but it's only due to placement on things like speed sensors or other mounting point...

Here is the complete support on my PC in a rough draft form. Unfortunately it's too long for my printers to handle as a single piece! I have to split it in two with some interlocking sections to print. I am able to orient it sideways on my big printer to get it in one piece but would take...
