    4 Hi Headlight Mod

    Just figured I would add I did this mod today in the parking lot while my kid was at football practice, took about 20-30 minutes. I tapped in to the low beam and high beam wires on the drivers side in front of the fuse box and pulled power directly from the box with an inline fuse. I also...

    Door locks stopped working using button but key fob still works

    Check all your fuses, I just had the same issue on my 98 Burb and I believe it was my horn fuse that was blown, put in a new one and the lock switches started working.

    Where to get solid 1.5" rear blocks?

    Thanks for the replies, I will need new u bolts, mine definitely aren't long enough for blocks. I found a Tuff Country 1.5" block and u bolts for a good price but I'm not sure what the block is made of but it looks beefy enough.

    getting seat to slode farther forward in ext cab

    I recently got a 95 GMC extended cab Z71 with the 60/40 bench and was wondering if anyone had modified the slider mechanism on the passenger side to allow for better back seat access? I will really only use it for my kids and they can squeeze in but it seems like the seat could slide forward 4...

    Steering parts manufacturer Moog vs. Others

    I need to do some work on the front end of my 95 GMC Z71 extended cab. It's got 247k miles and definitely needs a pitman arm and idler arm. I may do the tie rods too, gotta check them out still. Anyways money is tight and I know Moog is preferred but looking on Rock Auto at my options I see...
