    Oil Pan Gasket Suggestions

    I've had a few oil drips since I bought the truck and it's looking like "hopefully" the pan gasket is leaking, anyone prefer a certain kind/brand? I will probably also replace the gasket in the oil filter adapter while I'm at it. The truck's got 188000 well cared for miles on it so I'm hoping...

    Pleasure Doing Buisness With Chris.G.Jr.!!!!

    Strange Whining Noise?

    Tires, Wheels & AAL Added

    I finally got around to getting my tires mounted up on my new wheels and the AAL's came in. The AAL was stated to raise the tail end 1.5"-2" depending on the shape of the stock springs. The new springs raised it 1 3/4" so I was pleased with that and the install was a snap and I cranked the TB's...

    How To Fix Play In Seat Track

    I've noticed ever since I brought the truck home that when you apply the brakes you can feel the drivers seat move forward slightly and then move back when you hit the gas kinda of a slight rocking motion.

    Would There Be Any Interest In A 1.5" Body Lift??

    I am adding a 1.5"-2" lift AAL and will be cranking my TB's some to help level it up a little to help clear my 285-70-17 tires a little better. However I am also thinking I'd like to add about 1.5" of body lift in the near future. I've hunted high and low and can't find one so I contacted Zone...

    Just Picked Up A Nice 98 ECSB

    I recently sold my 07 Sierra crew cab 4x4 for a few reasons, oil consumption, drivetrain slop and I only drive about 6000 miles a year so no need in making payments on something that just sits in the garage. I have always loved the GMT400 body style so I started wearing out Craigslist looking...
