    Cognito braces and steering dampner

    Do you know what Bilstein you got? (Been looking at the 33-174525?) I installed the Cognito PISK and ran into the same interference with the dampener/stabilizer set up I have. Removed it for now. Was going to do the Rancho kit but would rather have a Bilstein. Already have a K2500 center/drag...

    Help: Interior Lights Won't Shut Off...

    I was able to find my issue! Turned out it was 2 (out of 3) wires I ran some years back to add some other GM review mirror that had lights on the bottom! 2 of the 3 wires were pressed against the pillar and had worn through the insulation, grounding. Keeping my interior lights on. I fixed the...

    Help: Interior Lights Won't Shut Off...

    I did check under the sill but it looks okay? I did buy a SG Tool Aid 25300 Short Circuit Detector, but it works on positive power. Could be broken as the buzzer didn't sound? With every thing unhooked I put the tester on the powered side in the fuse box and put the tester now with + to the...

    Help: Interior Lights Won't Shut Off...

    So I too am having an issue with the interior lights not turning off? (1994 K1500 Extended cab) Been going on and off for the last 3 months. I have had some LED's for some time in the interior lights. About 3 months or more ago I noticed the lights would not go out. I checked the 2 door switches...

    AC Delco 217-2286 injector ???

    I agree that the injectors my not be genuine AC Delco as all the stuff I buy from them is in the blue/red/white boxes, but again these were sold as "wholesaler closeout private label". Also check out the first picture that is black/white, the background has the ACDELCO "water mark" in the back...

So I ordered up a set and gave them a look over. First thing was the filter has moved (pic is from rock auto and does have the...

    JB5 rear drum brakes, help getting them to work properly

    OK I mess with them some more but have not taken it for a drive to see the results yet. What I did was use the measure tool to try and get that .01-.02 clearance the manual says to shoot for. I am not sure where on the shoes one is looking for this clearance(I would guess @ 9 & 3 like the manual...

    JB5 rear drum brakes, help getting them to work properly

    Ok so might be the drums. We'll see what napa will do, Bought the drums at another store than the one that is near by and I am not sure the local store here turns rotors & drums but I guess I am going to find out next weekend when they are open! As for the backing plate contacts I think they...

    JB5 rear drum brakes, help getting them to work properly

    I have measured both of them several times and the drums feel pretty close to true. I would think that unless they were warped, it would be good enough. On this set of drums I have not driven enough to get them hot. But last night I adjusted the parking brake so that it would hold the truck on...

    JB5 rear drum brakes, help getting them to work properly

    Let me rephrase. When I get the brakes adjusted and then adjust the parking brake so that it will hold my truck on a hill I have quite a bit of brake drag and it is not consistant. Rubs more in some spot than others during rotation. I would think similar to out of round drums but these are brand...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    thanks guys for the input. I would like to just try it but I would need more info and would be nice to have the jb5 & jb6 set ups side by side and seems like that would make it more work than the gain. So I would agree that if I wanted the brake I would be easier to go with a 14 bolt swap...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    All are true, but I don't really want to got through the hassle of finding a good 14 bolt and then doing the swap, most likely by myself. The chances of finding a 14 bolt locally are slim and even if I did or went the 1hr+ to a yard, would I get a good one or ? I think for less than $200 I could...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    OK this thread is pretty huge and I have read though some of it, and I searched some but didn't see info on my potential project I have a94 k1500 (z71, but no f44 heavy duty) so I have a 8.5" rear axle with the jb5 brake system (10" rear drums) and I was wondering if I can put rear jb6 11" drums...
