    Wanting to lower a 2wd c1500 and looking for suggestions

    I'm really new to this lowering the suspension thing. I know it's been around for years, I just don't know enough to make the leap without some guidance. I do all my own work (mechanical and body), so I'd like to do this myself. I also know there's several ways to skin a cat on lowering. I'd...

    My '95 C1500 (stock) speedometer is reading 12 mph faster than my actual speed. This has been verified with the GPS and also against 2 other vehicles which have the correct reading. So I know it's this truck only. I never really paid much attention to it until as of lately. So I can't...

    Having trouble with my '95 5.7 performance, mainly idling. I bought this software (Red Devil River ALDL scan cable) off ebay and was hoping it was a simple plug and play.
