    GMC Phantom Grill Pieces

    They may not look very different in pictures, and in reality they really aren't THAT different. But when you hold these in your hands and look them over...lay them next to each other and compare them, the differences become obvious. The shapes and angles of the headlight covers versus the...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    A pair of shackles set in the 1" hole would be a whole lot easier than hangers. You could go back to stock spindles and add some 3" lower control arms.

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    1. It just has 2" lowering shackles on the rear so stock shocks are all you'll need. 2. Most of those off-the-shelf 15x10s everyone was running back then were 0 offset.

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    The hitch was really a non-issue for me, but I also had the stock muffler on my Suburban, which is damn near the size of the fuel tank, making both sides equally as difficult for the hangers. Taillights were just some of the eBay LEDs. I sold the Suburban about a year ago. I kept all the...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    3" shackles won't fit. 2" shackles have the rear end of the leaf spring literally touching the bottom of the cargo floor. I lowered my '98 with 2" shackles and 1" hangers. Combined with the 3" coils up front, it came out just right for what I was after. And 618 Syndicate is right. Hangers are a...

    GMT400 History

    The R/V designations actually began with all the fullsize GM trucks for the '87 model year. So, an '87 2wd regular cab shortbed half-ton is actually an R10. ALL '88-'91 Suburbans, Blazers/Jimmys and crew cabs were squarebody trucks, so they were ALL R/V trucks, not just 2500 and up.

    Crew Cabs, Suburbans and Blazers/Jimmys were square through the '91 model year. Cab & chassis trucks were square through the '89 model year.

    No, it was still a square body (the actual GM name for the generation is Rounded Line...go figure). SUVs and crew cabs weren't GMT400s until the '92 model year when they finally got the new bodystyle. Whether it's true or not, I've heard multiple times that the main reason they took so long to...

    BellTech and AIM/ChassisTech are the companies that DO push the wheels out. DJM, Western Chassis and most other brands DO NOT push the wheels out.

    Cat eye front end conversion?

    My biggest pet peeve with these cross-generational swaps is the wheel openings. That black truck is soooo close to being pretty sweet. You can tell they spent time trying to get it right, but in the end they missed on one glaring detail...the wheel openings don't match front-to-rear. That ruins...

    If all you want to do is lower the rear to level it, then you just need a pair of 2" drop shackles. They'll run you around $50 or so and take you 30-45 minutes to install. You don't even need to pull your wheels off.

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    Waaaay back around '98 or so, I looked at a '94 extended cab on a used lot. It was a factory 2-tone, dark blue with tan along the bottom. It had a factory tan leather interior and power mirrors. It was all factory. I think it was a rare '94 option. That is the ONLY pre-'95 I've ever seen with...

    It amazes me to think that some of these OBS trucks that I see 16 year-olds driving are now older than my '72 Duster was when I started driving it at 16 in 1992.

    The problem is that CodeRed26 is in Canada. DRLs are required by law there on all vehicles imported after January 1, 1990. On pre-'96 GMT-400 trucks sent to Canada, the DRLs run on the highbeams instead of the lowbeams like the '96+ trucks, so that's the issue he's dealing with.

    How To Put LEDs in Moonie Gauges

    All the indicators have their own bulbs. I didn't show them or pay them any attention since I didn't change them. I didn't want to change the color of any of them and there's no functional advantage to putting LEDs in them. The signal and warning lights are in the boxes along the top of the...

    Drop Spindles or Control Arms?

    You're not supposed to run drop springs with drop arms. It causes serious wear on the lower balljoints and can lead to failure. I know of several people who have run drop springs with drop arms (myself included). Most of them had complete balljoint failure at some point and a few of them had a...

    Some people actually prefer them. Maybe sometime in the truck's life someone had some aftermarket wheels on it and had sold the stockers. When it came time to find some stockers and swap back, the earlier caps were all they could get at the time. The reasons that it could have the earlier caps...

    Then either yours is a strange anomaly or somewhere, somehow the caps got swapped because it should have had smooth caps.
