    84 K20 breaks starter/ Missing brace?

    Broken again. Seems to be the drive/Bendix this time. It does half a crank, the drive disengages/kicks out, you can hear the starter wind down to a stop like it's not driving the engine anymore. Hopefully I can find the receipt for the old one. I've read that too much timing causes kickback...

    Great White: A Chevy K10 Build

    I wish my tow rig had that much power! How much fuel capacity are you going to have?

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    You may want to upgrade "the big 3" to take advantage of the alternator output. My 2011 HD has the factory 160 amp alternator and 2 gauge cable, not bad. My '84 k20 plow truck had a wimpy 10 gauge alternator wire that didn't even go directly to the battery.

    Heated Blankets

    Maybe something from the trucking industry? Might only be usable with the engine running but it would be a good way to warm up the bed before turning in for the night.

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    I didn't know those newer 5.3's made more low end torque than my 6.0.

    Teardrop Camper Layout Design

    My grandpa had one of those he’d tow with his early ‘90s diesel Jetta. I’d like to fix an old one up but they hold their value like crazy.

    Overlandtowater’s solid axle suburban

    I looked into my problem, turns out its the rough ride. My HD is pretty stiff and on crappy roads the disc wont load. If I'm not moving it'll load. Probably not your problem though.

    PSA regarding vehicle service

    When I worked at jiffy lube the guys up top were always told to try and upsell the customers on that stuff but the guys I new never lied like that, there was no incentive for them to. I always hated when they convinced the customers to get a new fuel filter. Almost impossible on a rusty Midwest...

    What do you think about this non-street legal “Jeep” clone?

    I thought those only came in pink?

    PSA regarding vehicle service

    When I worked at jiffy lube as a teenager in 2001-2002ish I made 9/hr with no benefits. After graduating high school I went to auto tech school(2 yrs) while working nights in a factory for 13/hr. Near the end of that program I tested #1 in my class, they wanted to send me to some kind of...

    who uses Fog lights? / Hella 500 / OEM connector->F350

    I bought Morimoto led foglights for my 2011 chevy 2500hd and they`re garbage. They do nothing.

    Overlandtowater’s solid axle suburban

    I have to fight my CD player to get it to work. I have to load a cd about thirty times before it stops telling me the cd is bad.

    What Half-Ton Truck & Why

    I don’t agree that the 6.2 is a totally different design than the 6.0. My L96 uses the same “ls3” style square port heads, only difference is displacement and the compression ratio is probably different. IMO, and I could be wrong, is that the 6.0 is de-tuned for longevity and fuel economy...

    What Half-Ton Truck & Why

    I’m a fan of GM trucks because the drivetrains are pretty well proven, except for the whole displacement on demand troubles, the HD trucks don’t have to deal with that though. I’ve never seen 15mpg with mine and the ride is a little rough even with my 17” winter tire setup so idk if I’d...

    1972 GMC K20 Dubbed "The Wilson Project" ***UPDATES***

    That’s a clean old truck. Going from that Vortec small block to a cammed 6.0 will be nice.

    PSA regarding vehicle service

    I worked at a quick lube place when I was in high school. My supervisor was legitimately a meth addict and the owner was having an affair with her. It was a pretty messed up place. It was me and two other high school kids running the place during the afternoons and weekends with the supervisor...

    Hella light ID

    I have a driving and a cornering I think. You can tell them apart by comparing the fresnels. The more fresnels the more spread the light is. Yours are not pencil/spot beam. That's all I can say for sure.

    Duluth trading is great for when you want to spend $78 for a pair of made in china leather work gloves/sarcasm. I hate that place.
