    Hopefully someone can chim in and lmk if I'm correct, but looking at both model of shafts, the 95-96 XJ shaft has the lower clamp is directly in line with the u-joint, rather than off set. Is that correct?

    Rear Spring Replacement Question

    I have a 1992 Heavy Half and I'm wanting to replace my rear springs. Looking on Rockauto.com, I found several choices and sizes. I belive my pack thickness is 2 11/16 with a load rating of 2025 lbs? Does this sound correct? Do heavy half trucks have 1/2 springs or 3/4 springs. If I move up to a...

    Rough Idle while Driving

    I have a 1992 K1500 with a 5.7. I recently preformed a tune up: plugs, wires, cap/rotor button, fuel filter, oil change and a PCV valve. While driving, between 1500-2000 RPM (in any gear) I feel a miss or a spudder. Any idea what it may be or where I can begin trouble shooting? I'm new to this...

    Oil leak, need help

    No sir, those lines are for 96 and above. That's the wall I'm running into. I've checked with three dealers and each came up with the same lines, which are exactly those lines.

    3 Inch Lift?

    I'm thinking about lifting my truck and I don't want to go way crazy. I was thinking about a 3 inch with 33's. I'm not having much lift on finding a lift outside of Keys and Blocks.

    Oil leak, need help

    No go today. The dealership ordered the wrong parts. I went by two other dealerships on the way home from work and the third one was the only one that could help. I asked for their main part person to walk out with me so I could show them what I was asking for. The lines they provided were half...

    Oil leak, need help

    What I found out is the gasket for my oil filter adapter is worn. So I went and bought a new one. While looking I found another leak. I have a lower oil cooler line leak. I had to order new cooler lines, clips and quick fittings. It'll be my project for tomorrow. I'm a newbie at minor repairs...

    Advice needed on Receiver Hitches

    I have a 92 K1500 Heavy Half and I'm wanting to replace my old stock receiver with a new one. My question is do I need a Class 3 or Class 4? I rarely haul anything and I can't see hauling nothing heavier than a car (ever). What's the best choice for me? Thank you.
