    First time doing drum brakes

    Were you only experiencing shaking at a certain speed? My drums were bad warped and shook at all speeds. Changed it all out last week and now it only shakes around 40mph when braking. I didnt think to suspect the u-joints and wont get back to my truck for another 2 weeks...

    Ebrake question

    @Schurkey Sounds like a good project in the future when I overhaul the while truck with my son. For now it's just my monthly cruiser to work and beer getter. I know the jb3 brakes are crap. But surprisingly I feel comfortable when braking especially at hwy speeds so far (besides the vibration...

    Ebrake question

    I was just wondering really if it is a syptom of something going out other than drum shoes or hardware.

    Ebrake question

    It's a 1991 k1500. JB3 brakes. Bought it 3 years ago. Serviced front brakes last year. Rear shoes and drums seemed in shape at the time. I will be ordering shoes and drums Friday. Just wondering if anyone sees this as a could be problem with the ebrake lines or what not.

    Ebrake question

    Odd question. I know I'm due to replace my drums, I've got a decent vibration when braking and goid bit of grunting noice when coming to a stip from the rear. I know one drum is warped for sure. Reversing out my driveway, I pressed ebrake and held the release open and the rear seemed to...

    Windshield washer fluid jet

    '88 TBI Suburban - Engine Overhaul - Help me plot this out

    Im not all an expert, but I had planned to swap to vortec heads with a aftermarket intake. Sniper EFI or Aces Killshot with a mild cam with roller lifters if i have the provisions. New fuel pump and possibly fuel lines. Once again I know NOTHING of doing this. Just making a plan for when the...

    Drop in crate to replace 350TBI

    Thanks guys. Consensus would be to rebuild or replace with a stock. I was just thinking about my path if/when i would need to address any engine issues. It was a replacement 12568758 GM crate like shurkey said. Would this current block be worth investing the money in to rebuild with...

    Drop in crate to replace 350TBI

    not sure about the maintenance, but ive change all the fluids when i got it and oil every 3 months. Although i fixed 3 fluid leaks, it doesnt consume or burn any fluids. Only issue ive noticed is the rough idle when hot which i could never figure out.

    Drop in crate to replace 350TBI

    I use my 91 k1500 SCSB every 3 weeks for a 4 hour drive to and from work. When Im home, i use it for beer runs/grocery runs/etc. I love tinkering with it and I know inevitably the engine will give out (275 k on body, 115k on GM goodwrench in 2005) Maybe 1 month from now, or ten years who...
