    Redhead steering box - disappointed so far

    Near the end of last year I rebuilt the front end on my truck - all new steering gear and ball joints - along with a new steering box from Redhead Steering Gears. My truck is not a daily driver, so probably around around 1500 miles driven in a year. Within 10 miles the new steering box became...

    Courtesy circuit

    1994 K1500 RCSB I've been tracking down and repairing my truck's minor electrical gremlins for a fee weeks. Over that time I've replaced the tail light housings, the headlight switch, the turn signal switch, the dash panel dimmer switch, and cleaned up as many grounds and connections as I can...

    Steering wheel ideas

    I need to tear down the steering column in my 94 K1500 for a few repairs.

    14 bolt swap

    I have a chance to buy a 14 bolt rear out of an '86 square body c2500. Given that the ratio works, should it be a direct bolt in on a '94 k1500?

    Fuel tank

    My 1998 Suburban isn't a daily driver so I rarely fill the giant fuel tank over the 1/2 mark. I topped it off yesterday for vacation/road trip and I overfilled it. A little fuel spilled over the top of the tank, enough to wet the pavement pretty well. Is this normal problem caused by overfilling...

    Vortec fuel pump

    Earlier this year I bought a 1998 Suburban with multiple issues. I had the transmission rebuilt. The distributor was loose and had the worn cam gear issue, so I installed a new one. This didn't cure my rough idle, so I installed the new MPFI spider assembly (something I planned to do...

    1998 PCM Swap

    I've been a lurker on the site for a while and just recently created an account. I am having a few issues with my 1998 Suburban that I believe may be caused by a bad PCM. I still need to do some diagnosing, but at some point I'll need to swap in a different PCM to confirm. My question - will the...
