Weird door pin bushing issue

Went to replace the door pins and bushings on my front drivers door. Got everything apart and cleaned up. Popped the bushing in the top hinge no problem. Went to the bottom and neither bushing fits on top or bottom of the lower hinge. And just so I know I'm not crazy I actually checked the...

Back up lights?

What have you guys done for back up lights? I had fog lights bolted upside down on my back bumper for a while but found they were rather clumsy and I tended to hit them on things (don't ask). I don't want to go drilling into my cab or anything so I'm kind of at a loss

Pinion angle

I recently had the rear end blow up in my Suburban and had to kind of do some quick thinking to get her running again so I could go to work. I managed to find a rear end out of a '95 or '96 Suburban (was after the facelift at the very least) that was recently wreaked (front end) and sitting in a...

Bypassing guage cluster oil pressure guage

I put a mechanical oil pressure gauge in my truck when I did the engine swap. I'm wondering if its ok to just leave it pegged past 80 or not. I've had some people say it doesn't matter and some say the computer takes a reading from that and it can effect performance.

Noobie Area/General Questions section

While it looks like this forum has all the specialized areas theres no new guy area. Like somewhere to ask general questions and just keep the repetition out of all the specialized areas. Personally I was looking for somewhere to ask about what would be some good basic mods to do on my truck...

Non quick connect trans lines

I CANNOT for the life of me find prebent trans lines for my burb. I am horrible at bending lines or else I'd do it myself. Right now I'm running all rubber lines except for a few inches of steel line with flares and then double clamped. I've already had it blow out a few times but the flares...
