    Ground cable on filler neck is torn

    This is precisely what I did with my 92. I had the bed off and dropped the tank in order to do a bunch of work. It was frayed and holding on for dear life so I bought some grounding straps from AutoZone and greased and bolted it on.

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    Not me, but my son. I've always shown him how to do general maintenance on our cars. When he's done it, I've always been there to supervise. He has a 2018 Subaru Impreza and he did an oil change for the first time while I wasn't there. I was at work and he called me to let me know he didn't...

    Which drop kit for the front?

    An advantage to using new control arms is you get new bushings with the arms. They also usually come with new ball joints.

    Looking for Ignition recommendations...

    In order to prevent the aluminum contacts from corroding, what about covering them in dielectric grease. Would that interfere with the conductivity too much?

    Complete Exhaust System From the Head to the Bed 1990 C1500 Single cab Short bed

    I've never seen anything sold as one kit from header to tailpipe. There aren't really that many pieces though really, depending on how complicated you want your exhaust to be. You can buy all the componants you want individually from Summit.

    FNG looking for ideas

    Are you willing to do all this work yourself or have a shop to all of it or combination? A lot will depend on your own technical knowledge and skill.

    Tool Box Suggestions

    I really like my US general box from Harbor freight. This is right after I got it before I put my tools in it. I'm a truck driver and I was asking the guys in our repair shop what they use and they all had snap on's except one guy didn't believe in spending so much for a box and recommended US...

    Rear leaf spring shackle OEM?

    Those are not stock shackles. However, if you just remove the bolt and position the leaf spring eye three holes down, it should be about the stock right height.

    Keep Manifolds or get shorties?

    Long tubes will require a little bit of custom work, whereas shorties should bolt right into the place of the factory manifolds with no other modification required. If you are going to be upgrading the rest of the exhaust, might as well do the headers while you're in there.

    What suspension/bushings/etc am I due for?

    I see you redid your front brakes, maybe take a look at the rear brakes, pull the drum off, check how much shoe material is left. You mentioned you replaced the driveline. Not sure if that included the rear end, but may be a fluid change. Air filter and fuel filter, PCV valve Take a look at...

    First time doing drum brakes

    Yep, that's a standard configuration for the 10 inch drums. You're right you are missing a spring on the bottom that hooks into the two holes on the shoes and goes underneath the double riveted centerpiece.

    Rebuild or not bottom end 350 tbi

    First off, slow down for a minute. @Schurkey is one of the most knowledgable people on this forum. Dismissing his contribution out of hand is a mistake. Now, the 350's bottom end is pretty sturdy providing it has had regular maintenance during it's life. If you are looking for more assurance...

    305 TBI Header (?)s

    The simplest way to go is go to a treasure yard and grab an entire axle assembly that has 3.73 gears off a C series truck. ( the K series trucks have a track width that is slightly larger.) The yard in my area has axle assemblies for $95 and a $20 core. If you take it off of 1500 it's a simple...

    305 TBI Header (?)s

    If you're willing to go as far as camming a Tbi 305, I would suggest saving up and waiting to do a 350 swap and proceeding from there. Period. The shorties and Ultimate Tbi model are just nibbling around the edges. Start with a good power plant. Now if you're unwilling or unable to swap the...

    Header EGR Pipe

    What year? What engine? What state are you in? Do you have to pass emissions in your state? Are you just looking to have a truck that runs or are you looking for a performance boost?

    Need some help!

    What vehicle are we talking about? What year? What engine? Automatic or manual transmission? You're saying you're revving the engine, but your speed isn't increasing? Were you washing inside the engine bay?

    Miss and doesn’t want to accelerate

    Are the plug wires routed correctly? Meaning, are the spacers set up so they are not crossing or touching each other?

    JB6 Brake Upgrade

    In the quest for a firmer brake pedal on my 92 C1500 RCLB i have completed the following at separate times: remove ABS, replace rubber hoses with SS braided hoses, rebuilt factory 10" drum brakes (new AC Delco cylinders, Duralast shoes, and AC Delco hardware). By far the biggest difference in...

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    Yeah, I'm not sure about that. Using the filter on their page to narrow down the selections, there are only like eight or nine heads that match the years the TBI was available. Only four models remain in stock, and none of those four have more than four remaining in inventory. I'm not sure if...
