    I need a new power steering gearbox......

    I agree 100% with either flushing out the old lines pump etc really well, and if you can afford to just change them all out, that’s even better. The only thing I’m on the fence about is messing with the bearing preload, without putting the steering gear on the truck first and seeing what it...

    I need a new power steering gearbox......

    I’m just curious, what is it that makes replacing a steering gear on a gmt400 not a bolt in affair?

    Max alternator voltage?

    Since you mentioned your using the stock radio from 1989, and I’m just kinda thinking out loud here. I could see it possibly being hard on the 32 year old factory stereo. maybe 15 volts is not enough to hurt it, but any more than that I think would, especially if the radio has any 10 or 16 volt...

    Can’t suck Thru transmission lines

    You might have broke the front pump from not having the torque converter all the way stabbed.

    Complete front end rebuild with 3” RC lift..

    I hear yeah on stuff used to be cheaper... I almost feel like I woke up one day, and it’s like where did all the cheap old parts trucks go. People are asking stupid money for stuff nowadays.

    RHD swap in the states?

    I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I think you would almost be in uncharted territory doing it here in the USA. I know there are some members here on the forum from Australia they can could probably give you a lot more insight into it than I can.

    Complete front end rebuild with 3” RC lift..

    Yes you are better off getting the 4” kit. And your better off with the 3” kit than just cranking the **** out of the bars. I know of 6 or 7 people on this forum that have the kit and were able to align the truck, myself included. It’s kinda like lots of people will start a thread about there...

    Complete front end rebuild with 3” RC lift..

    It rides better than just cranking the torsion bars. And you can always go to 4” or six” lift later on... or even sas the truck someday. I put one on my truck 5 years ago. Unless these trucks are bone stock, with out even a half inch cranked. There going to ride ruff that’s just my experience.

    RHD swap in the states?

    I’m pretty sure even the ones in Australia where not done by gm, and where done by some company after they got there. It would be a monumental undertaking. And absolutely 100% not worth it in my opinion.

    Ebay Diff Drop

    The instructions I used were, from the rough country instructions for the 3” kit, I also used instructions from the sky jacket 3” kit. The eBay diff drop does not actually come with any instructions. I tried looking through my eBay purchase history, but I can only go back to the beginning of...

    Tie rod sleeves - replacing the weak adjuster

    For sure, I remember the first time I ever saw one snap, in real life. It was back in 2004 or 05, it was on a 2002 Chevy 2500hd 4x4 with a duramax in it. He tried launching it hard on the street in 4wd and one of the tie rod adjuster sleeves snapped like a chicken bone.

    Steering knuckle lift

    And what’s weird is I can’t find any info about it on the internet.It’s almost like they never existed now. I even remember reading a review about it, in one of the 4x4 magazines back in the day. Hell I would buy one nowif it was still made.

    Steering knuckle lift

    I believe tuff country made a knuckle lift for 88-98 Chevy trucks. I remember still seeing them advertised back in 2007ish.

    3" lift - what shocks do I buy?

    Here’s an answer from experience, get the sky jacker 3 inch upper control arms. They have replaceable ball joints. The rough country arms are the same price. I own them, and they have been installed on my truck since 2016. The 3inch rough country kit comes with shock extenders so technically you...
