    2000 GMC C/3500 Crew Cab Dually 5/7 on 22's

    I have a question for the Board: I ordered a set of whhels from 323 Dually Sportz out of Los Angeles, CA. I have been waiting now for about 10 weeks and was supposed to get my wheels and fenders weeks ago. I have been getting excuses and explanations for teh delay - always something new but...

    picked up the 3500 this afternoon!!!! Low and cool! Took it to the autowash and spent some time cleaning the dust and bird stuff off it. Drove on the freeway with all four windows open to blow all the dust out of the interior. The truck has been sitting for over 6 months, so it was dusty. But...

    1991 Suburban R1500 Square Body

    I went with my son on a long drive last weekend - about 13 hours drive time there and back from Las Vegas to / from Tucson Arizona. Picked up the 1991 GMC Suburban I found on EBay. Gas was ridiculous!! I paid about $5.19 a gallon average!! These prices will definitely affect my driving habits...

    In this case, the 8 lug to 10 lug adapters always require the flat bottom lug nuts because the adapters have machined flat surfaces as shown in the pictures. Yes, semi wheels can be hub centric or lug centric and I have been told that this is important to know when putting 10 lug semi wheels on...

    Another bit of info worth knowing: If you use adapters for 8 lug to 10 lug wheels, you will NOT be able to use your old 8 lug NUTS with the conical shape to secure your adapters to the original wheel hubs. The stock lugs have a conical shape which is used to center the stock rims onto the...

    Now for the wheels - and NO, THEY DO NOT FIT!! Which I was told by everyone! Thank you for telling me and it went together knowing it was not going to fit. We put them on to see how much more space would be needed in the rear. According to these pics it will require 5 inches!! That is crazy...

    Yes, absolutely, but the work I can do here is not gonna let me do the engine swap. The first radiator is from EBay, so I will try to get a refund - I will post an update with info once I get a resolution with them. If teh EBay seller gives me a refund or credit, because I am going to be...

    truck is already in the shop, so I could tow it to another shop ($200 towing this big truck) and pay my bill here and then .... And the online order will take a couple days to get here, so the truck will be pulled and may get worked on in a few weeks or whatever. The problem is, you are over a...

    + Labor remove and replace, so it will be closer to $1k, for a $10 non-OEM part that I can't find!!! If this thing comes off the lift, it will get put into shop storage until I find the part - - -

    It's not me, it's the guy doing the wheels. He knows, they drop trucks for a living, it is a custom shop that does lifts and lowering. He said he would tell me how much room I need for the fender selection - so all good!!!! The problem today is the broken drain plug on the new radiator that...

    The new motor is installed!!!! Waiting to get the wheels on this thing, see where it sits, but will probably run the stock wheels until I can get the Eclipse fenders and color match the paint. BUT>>>>>> there is a problem. the Ebay radiator had a broken drain plug. No big deal you would...
