    suspension noise problem

    Later K2500 trucks (8600 lb gvwr) got the forged lower control arms. K1500 and "light duty" k2500 trucks got the stamped/welded lower arms. All the upper arms are all the same tubular construction. Forged lower arms will bolt on to K1500 trucks so someone will have swapped them on at...

    Heater core coolant strainer.

    Heater core coolant strainer.

    No, you're just not understanding how it works. Its a bypass filter, not a heater core bypass. It doesn't bypass the heater core, it bypasses a portion of the coolant via a restrictor until all the coolant has passed through it. It just keeps cycling the coolant through it as you drive. The...

    Diesel 6 lug to 8 lug

    Rear axle is just swap in an 8 bolt of your preference. Front is a considerably harder, but can be done. Problem is you have a 1/2 ton frame and not a 3/4 in the front. Upper a arm mounts, knuckles etc are different. My advice? Don't swap if it's a 6.5, nothing but trouble and you'll only...

    Nbs steering wheels in your trucks

    Meh, I put a CTSV steering wheel in my 98 last year. Haven't killed myself or anyone else yet and I crawl rocks and trails in my rig. Same deal with the shaft, had to machine my own splines in the smooth hole. Wasn't difficult, just time consuming. I also have the time, skills and tools to do...
