you can tow easily on a lowboy trailer with it strapped down. if you rent a uhual trailer just inspect the straps and tires, make sure your lights all work too and you should be good to go. slow and steady wins the race.

Donno if it will help with rust issues but before you install new rotors and other steel components, maybe try electro-plating them in some water. There are lots of youtube instructionals on how to do it at home with a battery charger. I would use copper or some other non rusting metal to...

Something you might think about once you get it all tuned in. snag up one of those cheapo harbor freight water tight boxes, the smaller ones. drill a hole or slot under the gasket were you can get all the wires in and the probes out. this will keep the thermal switches protected from the...

I was just gonna say it looks like those rotors are really thin! the inner pad isn't sitting on the slides and could easily slip out from what I can see. the other thing too with the spindle where the caliper bracket mounts. I'm sure you had to remove the bracket, check that surface where the...

If your getting voltage to the switch on the accumulator then you need to check and make sure you have refrigerant in the system. put a set of gauges on it and see what the pressure reads. if you have over 60psi on the system, that should trigger the switch on the accumulator and turn on the...

You need a water tight belly pan!

That was a clean break. did you hit something to cause that?

an 08 malibu? Yea the dealer can reprogram them or if someone with an enhanced scanner can do it. iirc the GM tech2 can do it as well. if someone has one of those CKO tech 2's it would be worth a try and not have to pay big $$ only for the dealer to tell you something else needs to be...

If your gonna drive like you stole it at 85+ on the freeway, you might look into a gearvendors overdrive unit to install. that will give you a highway cruising gear while in 2x4. that will help with the MPG's and lower the engine RPM's when going that fast! my 93 has one with a 4l80e...

I've ordered replacement FOB remotes off the jungle site before that were for 02-04 GM vehicles, tried to program them for my friend's burb but they just would not work! after my wife brought the trailblazer home I notice the remote for it was kinda flaky on the lock/unlock buttons so I dug...

I was just gonna say to take the old case with the thingy in it and hold it near where you insert the key and see if she fires up. if so and your not concerned about the RFID chip. you can trim it out and then hide it inside the column under the plastic shroud. with that in place you can...

I would still pull the inner door panel and have a look see at the inner skin of the door. see what your previous damage is. sometimes it's just a whisky dent and rather than pull it, bondo it... worst case is it was pealed open like a tin can. tack welded and bondo. it will tell you if...

I would suggest looking for a good donor parts truck, but there is a big problem with that for me!! I brought one home not needing another truck but was given the opportunity. within about a month I had the donor running and driving. fell in love with it and to this day still drive it LOL...

So the 86-87 square body won't work? for the turn signal that has built in wiper function, you should be able to just swap out with your existing switch in the column. If I understood your last post correctly, your style column uses a clamp on lower mount on the engine side of the firewall...

I did a quick search on the Bay of Fleas (eBay) and found a few in the range of 250-350 pre-owned. also found one new aftermarket for $200. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=86+chevy+c+10+steering+column&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1311

I think AK is right. the door is sprung from an accident. could have been replaced at one point. back then no two body panels or doors were the same. so if you tried to do a door or body panel replacement especially from a used donor, likely they would never perfectly line up. you can get...

Welcome @LinePilot it would be cheap insurance to replace, but at least check them. when you pull the driveshaft off the rear yolk you can remove two of the caps. if it looks dry at all, it's time to replace them. Oh and I see your from the great state of Texas! nice to see a fellow...

the additive is mainly to restore lost compression and oil consumption through the rings in the case of blowby. if your engine is running good, no blow by I would just leave it with the oil and no additives.

Hadn't thought about it till now, but an exhaust shop can take an elbow in stainless or steel and expand it to fit the filter. maybe even put a ridge in it for the filter box too.

finding a d-max, cummins , powerstroke in the jy is as rare as hens teeth around these parts!
