    Vortec Lover's '98 K1500 Build

    need advice on gear ratios for towing with 89 GMC 2500

    sorry have to check, but you are towing in 4th and not 5th? considered going to 265s? it would be close to equivalent to 4:10s(after added weight, and overall ratio, and assuming same amount of wear) FYI i have never pulled a trailer.

    Upper Control Arm

    grease everything while you are down there... if your upper control arms are really that toast then so are your lowers. rock auto has raybestos upper control arms for ~150, not sure what your time is worth.

    thinking about going back to a thermal actuator

    The posi-lok that the PO installed finally gave up after many years of faithful service. I checked the connector, put a fuse in and it still puts out 12v(ignition on). Anybody want to talk me out of this? Does it really take a 25 amp fuse? the wiring seems a little thin for 25 amps.
