    90 GMC Sierra1500 SLE Shortbed Stepside shocks

    I am looking to replace the shocks on my 90. I put Gabriel Striders from Autozone on it shortly after I bought it in 04 with 99K on it. I am now at 258K and since installing the topper I have started noticing some body sway and buffeting in high winds that I never felt before. I am leaning...

    90 GMC Sierra rear brake change

We had to cut the radiator support ears with the rubbers out of the shroud as they hold the radiator in place. I am...

I was hearing a groaning noise at idle that only happened when the AC compressor was engaged. Cut the AC off and all was quiet. I bought a...

    4l60e tailshaft seep

    This morning I decided to crawl under the truck snd look at everything after 1200 or so miles since L59 4l60E swap and I saw a seep at the tailshaft. No drops hanging and none on the concrete under the truck. I checked the transmission fluid after I got to work and it is still full. I queried a...
