    Stock ride height

    Yes, drive it around. Funny story: I bought my truck new, and when it showed up at the dealer, it leaned to the left. I asked about it, and they said it was because of the 34 gallons of fuel on that side. Years go by. When it was time to restore old Big red, one of the first projects was the...

    Clunk When Turning

    Raybestos also make good steering components. It's what I used for my front end rebuild.

    Clunk When Turning

    Another idea is to set up a vid camera in the area of the clunk and see what happens. Doesn't need to be a go pro or something expensive. Amazon probably has thousands of cheap vid cams.

    88 5.7 low on power

    Looks like allot of veins to me, but your mileage may vary. I gave decent advice, and the ADL jumper is a good start. I bought my 89 new, and have it to this day, but what do I know. Thanks for coming in and saving the day!

    Humming on deceleration

    My 89 hummed in the rear sense new. GM rears are usually indestructible with regular driving. Good idea to have a look, but I suspect it's nothing.

    88 5.7 low on power

    an 88 is OBD1, scan tool is not going to be much help. You can jump A/B terminals in the OBD connector under the dash (), and the codes will flash though the service engine light. Fuel 9 to 10 psi is 1 psi too low. It should be rock solid at 11. Surging is usually a vac leak, or it's sucking...

    Ghost Brake Fluid!?

    Nothing on the ground usually is a dead ringer for behind the master. Hydro clutch will do the same thing, and usually is eating up your floor pan paint under the rug on the fire wall. Been there. Done that.

    1993 Yukon crate motor hydraulic roller lifter cleaning and adjustment journey - (Solved)

    First thing that pops to my mind is that you have a leaking intake gasket, and it's ingesting water... The other is that you suddenly have bad valve stem seals, which if it smoked a bit before indicates they were on their way anyway. If it was mine, I would go ahead and start all over, and take...

    Windshield replacement woes

    Mine was at the top lip, but it was just surface rust. I imagine the salt belt states could be bad. That was all fixed when my truck was repainted, but now I'm aware water can get trapped in there... and I blow it out after a wash.

    Windshield replacement woes

    That's a good example of the second design seal bulge (right at the lip of the door. The flat black/not shiney rubber is the end seal). First design, the black rubber sides are modeled to the doors, and you don't have that gap at the conjunction of the roof/door/top of windshield. That little...

    Windshield replacement woes

    UPDATE: Urgent!! LMC is still selling the first design glass... I have one sitting in my bedroom right now waiting for the spring. They sell out fast, but they are still selling the pre 93 glass. If it's out of stock, just keep checking. "So, whats the final take on the OER...

    Where and how many O2 / oxygen sensors in my 1990 V8 5.7L? (verifying what I see in the Chilton)

    My 89 has one. Driver side exhaust manifold. Single wire. Chances are, that's all you have too.
