My next project has been to ditch the stack of helper springs and install a set of air bags from airlift. The helper springs function well, but they ride very rough and make a ton of noise. The leafs clap together and hit the upper stops while driving on any road surface with bumps. Two...

So now that winter is back around, Ive had some time to work on my truck. We get so busy thoughout the year I dont have the time for anything but routine maintinence or emergency fixes. As always, Ive got a long list of things I want to do, but time will tell how much I can actually finish...

Are you buying the gallon jugs or the smaller one? I buy the gallons and havent noticed any difference in smell/color. -Nick

The 3rd door was introduced as an option in 97'. Meaning there were alot of extended cab trucks built after 97' without the 3rd door. As for 3rd door with the diesel? Thats a good question. Im not sure I have ever seen one. Anybody out there have one? Im not aware of a 4 door extended cab...

x2 on the diff cover. Looks great! Some of the aftermarket covers I have seen look like a cheap or "tacky" upgrade, but that looks really nice. When mine rots out ill probably do the same. -Nick

Trust me. I didnt expect it to be that easy. Haha. Thats why I posted the question here. Yea I really was just looking for a kit to use when making my own harnesses for the truck, but it would be an added bonus if I was able to replace any broken or missing OEM connectors on the truck from...

Glad to see you passed. I cannot believe the testing procedure on your first visit. I would have left in a hurry to find another shop. You would hope that someone in that position had done a truck or two before, and knew what they were doing, but i guess not. I guess there is one thing...

Dosent look to far off if you ask me...Alot of times the container, sunlight, etc can cause the color to apear different. -Nick

Ok guys, I started searching online for a kit containing the factory GM style plugs and Im a little overwhelmed now. Most of our trucks are say in the 95'-98' era. I cant seem to figure out if I should be buying a metripack kit? Or weatherpack? or something else? I would be looking for a full...

Well it sounds like ill be trying two sets of the duraterms....Thanks for all the replies! -Nick

Ive had the same set of quickheat plugs in my 6.5 for 3 years now and they seem to still be working well. Maybe down 1 or 2....havent checked yet. Just curious why the negative feedback? What are the bosch duraterms comparable to? -Nick

I think I am going to get a set of the quick heat plugs from kennedy, as I have used them on my 6.5 with good results. And they are on sale to boot! Still would like to hear opinions. -Nick

Hey guys, Im gonna replace all the glows in our 6.2 and need some opinions. The truck is used by a few different drivers so a manual override switch is out of the question. I wanted to know what you guys think is the best glow plug to replace them with. I dont think the 60G's are necassary...

Looks awesome marty! I installed the same overhead console as you with the filler plate for exactly the reason of being able to add guages. I had planned on making a mounting plate when I got that far, but the one you purchased looks nice. Where the heck did you find that guage plate?? -Nick

Thanks for the compliments guys. I was very happy with the look. Now Ill have to wait till dark to see if they are practical as well. The way it was before I felt like I was driving an old 6volt truck! -Nick

Few weeks ago, I posted looking for opinions on parking lights. Now that Ive gotten a chance to install everything, I figured Id share what I found and how they look. I ordered my headlights from LMC. A bit more expensive than ebay, but I figured Id have better luck with the quality and...

Tried some of the headlight restore "tricks" with compound, sandpaper etc. The lights are still very yellowed and fogged. Plus they overall performance of these lights are horrible anyways. Time to try something else. I ended up ordering a set of the stock replacement lenses for the...

x2 on the above. Ive had some wierd electrical issues like you described with battery problems before. I would double check that in fact both batteries are good. I know you said they are almost new, but disconect them both, and load test individually. Clean the terminals and try again...

I would deffinetly replace your factory fuel lines as well as all the o-rings in the ffm. You can route them back in the stock location or leave them outside the engine valley for easier repairs/maintnence down the road. I chose to mount mine up and over the intake manifold. This worked well...

I agree with the black trim rings all day long. Ive seen ones without them and it just dosent look right IMHO. Ive spent alot of time searching pictures online looking at everyone elses settups, and it seems almost everyone goes to an aftermarket parklight lense when replacing the headlights. I...
