    the brakes are pissing me off

    Just letting you know, the master cylinder upgrade definitely makes a difference, but the rear brakes must be adjusted properly to get a good pedal. I adjusted the rears by taking the drum off and winding the adjuster out to suit until i could barely get the drum back on, the result, the pedal...

    Front End Trouble, 98 k1500

    If i was to straighten the lean the wheel would be closer to the body, closer to the wheel well hence would look a bit silly, if you were to look at the truck from the front, one wheel would be in its correct postion and one would be positioned closer to the frame/body/wheel well. Im thinking...

    New to me truck with issues! Advice??

    Hi folks, just bought my first big truck, 1998 sierra 4x4 5.7 ext cab. Ok, so here goes, i reckon the front driverside took a hit at some point as the wheel sits at a funny angle. Looked at the lower control arm but it looks ok, doesnt look bent. The upper control arm cam bolt may solve it a bit...
