    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    Lately, I've been switching between driving my Kia Forte Koup and my wife's Yukon Denali a lot. Pretty much everything iis opposite between the two vehicles. On the Kia, the steering wheel audio controls are on the left side of the steering wheel and the cruise control is on the right side...

    Door card insert Material change

    I don't know. I bought a door from somebody on craigslist because I had a cab fire which melted everything in my door as well as most of the rest of the truck. The guy I bought it from also gave me the inner metal door panels/window regulators and the outer ones. I think they might be '97...

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    I got you all beat. Rebuilt the throttle body on my '89 Silverado and didn't realize that I left out a gasket. Installed it and went to start the truck and gas just poured into the engine. No big deal, I'll just pull the spark plugs and give the engine a short crank to push the gas out the spark...

    Door card insert Material change

    I'm pretty sure the cloth panel attaches to the door panel with tabs or possibly clips. It's been a while since I detached mine. Here's a couple of pictures of the door panel without the cloth covered panel attached.

    Sun visor

    I actually bought one of the $4 light gray flannel throws from Walmart to use for my headliner. It's actually a fairly decent match. You could also go to a fabric store, some of them sell headliner material. If you are reusing your board and have some chunks of the fiber are missing from pulling...

    Your upholsterer should be able to cover your visors, too.

    Taking wiper blade suggestions

    Pics not showing up for me, but if they are Goodyear's, +1 from me. I used to get them at Costco for like $7. I think they used to occasionally run a coupon for them, too, so they were even less. I usually got about 2 years +/- out of them.

    You're just a pup. This is the 40th year that I have been of legal drinking age. Also, legal drinking age was 19 at the time.

    Frame resonance.

    Yeah, radials had just recently come to market when I started driving. I worked at a gas station when I was 15 and bias ply tires were still the norm. My brother and a friend of mine got together and bought me a set of US Indy wheels for Christmas for my '73 Duster back in the early '80s and I...
