    Cab Mount Replacement Procedure

    When I try to attain 55 ft. lbs. on 3 out of the 6 body mounts, the lower cushion gets distorted. I even called Energy Suspensions to discuss. I decided to reclean the bot threads and torque the 3 trouble makers to the 'point of no return'. Thanks for the advice !

    Spare Tire Crossmember 1996 K1500

    I happen to agree. I just installed a near mint crossmember and while doing I had to push the frame rails out about a half inch to fit it in. Without that crossmember I'd have no way to know the rails were that much 'out'.

    1996 k1500 frame work: help

    I am installing an oem spare tire crossmember. There is a square hole cut into the one end. Since I'm unsure of the orientation, does it matter whether this lands on the driver's side rear or passenger side forward ? What is its purpose ? Bottom line, will the crossmember fit only one way...
