    my 90 project

    Thanks for the info on this. Nice looking truck BTW! I really like the rims and think that truck would look killer in matte black. I got inspired by your build and lowered my truck yesterday. I definitely felt beatup after finishing, but I like the result. Now I want the 4/6 with the...

    my 90 project

    Was there any get'chas on removing that leaf? I take it you need to completely remove the assembly from the truck, any problems or tips on getting the pack apart?

    my 90 project

    Looks like I know what I am doing this weekend. I already have the lowering shackles, but never thought of cutting the coils or removing the 1 leaf to get it lower.

    Computer and transmission question

    Hi Rhino, thanks for the info. Yea, I wasn't happy with the TPS and replaced it, as well as the VSS since it was leaking. it still shifts a bit hard. I am starting to think there may be an issue with the transmission itself. I mean, it works ok for the most part, shifts good and solid, it's just...

    Question about power buckets

    $15 Bucks is a Smokin deal anyway you look at it. Pick n Pull just got me for $160 for cloth power seats and console from a '98 Tahoe. I will be happily installing them this weekend :)

    Computer and transmission question

    It has the 4l60e in it. I just find it annoying that it doesn't want to shift out of 1st until around 20mph or higher. it could be the trans, although it was replaced recently. the shift from 1st to 2nd is also pretty harsh..

    Computer and transmission question

    Hi, This will be my 1st post here and I am a huge fan of this site. I have a question about the computer in my truck and how it is used to shift the transmission.
