    Power steering cooler

    Yes, to my understanding, that is correct. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Power steering cooler

    They are both factory oil cooler brackets. The OIL cooler (driver side) remained the same size so I used the existing brackets I started with. Side note: there is one size larger cooler from B&M/Long that is same width but taller that will fit, (you'd need to fab up an upper bracket) but it...

    Any preferances on brand of wheel cylinders?

    Go OEM or the most premium option that Napa offers. Either way it's probably going to have to be ordered and waited on to arrive. (AC Delco Professional is not same quality tier as AC Delco OEM) Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Hydroboost question

    Just dawned on me and my lack of basic understanding of your application may be the cause of my confusion... Did your 98 have factory vacuum booster? I'm most savvy in the 3/4 ton of the GMT400, more specifically the diesel 3/4 tons. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Hydroboost question

    Vacuum pedal? Thought you had hydroboost? Glad you figured out your issue, but could you clarify what you accomplished here? Maybe a few pics? Idk a single GMT400 owner that would decline the opportunity for better brakes. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Cost For Alignment

    We're rambling off topic. To the OP: Your alignment could cost as little as $200 for as long as you own the vehicle at any Firestone location (or $150 if you wait til spring promo). It is to be expected they will try to get more work out of you when you're there but there's no obligation per...

    Cost For Alignment

    You do realize you're letting them 'win' by failing to redeem your lifetime alignment and simply declining additional work... You do realize this don't you? OK, so the caveat to the lifetime alignment is that mildly awkward moment where you say "no" to all the extra when you go to pick up your...

    Cost For Alignment

    Same can be said about most franchised auto repair companies. Griping about how mechanics all rip you off has long become a socially acceptable complaint. Similar to unfavorable weather, or pollen season, or rush hour traffic, etc. Yes, I have gotten that list too, and at first I was convinced...

    Cost For Alignment

    I got a lifetime alignment from Firestone during a promotion when it was $150. Regular "menu price" IIRC was $200. Can be redeemed at any Firestone location nationwide and valid for as long as YOU own your CURRENT vehicle. Although guy at counter said there is some leniency on that rule say for...

    EVO power steering pump replacement....

    Make sure the new line(s) aren't at risk of chaffing anywhere. Any point at which the hose assembly is in contact with any surface, it should be an anchor/mount/zip tie. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    EVO power steering pump replacement....

    You take yours off existing pump and put it on new one. A good bench mounted Vise along with a selection of 1in and larger combination wrenches will do you a lot of good in that endeavor. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    wiper arms

    These arms are actually from a 99 GMC Suburban K2500 that I bought for parts a while back, but they fit & function just the same as my stock 97 arms. I had my arms painted up real nice and I stupidly opened the hood with the arms up and messed up the paint. I traded them with the ones off the...

    wiper arms

    20" blades on my 97 Where the wipers sit on windshield is determined by where you lock the tap in place. If you want them to sit lower, flip arm up to the sky, pull release tab at base, pull wiper arm off and rotate it a couple of teeth and slide it back on. Re-engage tab and lower wiper back...

    What shocks are people running.

    Just realizing your looking for shocks for your lifted application. I seem to remember Rancho NOT offering shocks for lifted trucks in the 9000 series. The 9000 series was only one with a lifetime warranty...if that's even what you're after specifically

    What shocks are people running.

    When shopping for a set in the past (also while doing a lot of other front end work) I was specifically looking for other options outside of Bilsteins that offered a lifetime warranty. Only other aftermarket option (at the time at least) was Rancho 9000 series, which had adjustable knobs right...

    Trailer plugs

    Bumper shopping some time ago landed me a Ford truck (I think) bumper from junkyard that had already been modified to fit something else. I just had to drill 2 more holes it in to match up to all factory fastening locations that stock bumpe had. Anyway, I flush mounted my 7 flat in one of...

    Towing parts truck home... how to

    I actually just had to move mine, here's how I get mine around. I used the existing washer/blocks that held in the retrieval/tow hooks and some shorter M12 bolts. Little tricky getting them started but finally found a good use for my ratcheting wrenches lmao. Granted, this requires the truck...

    97 C2500 6-Lug to 8-Lug Conversion?

    A 3/4 ton 6 lug? You sure? If it is truely a 3/4 ton then the 8 lug hubs should bolt on to your 14bsf and as far as front, I'm only familiar with 4x4 but maybe someone else can chime in: is the 2wd 3/4 ton front hub bearing still fastened with 4 bolts vs the 1/2 ton that has 3 bolts? Post up...

    Towing parts truck home... how to

    I brought mine home with a tow bar from Northern Tool (I've since seen Reese tow bar @ Walmart that looks identical). Had brackets welded to brush gaurd and used set of magnetic trailer lights. Tow bar was under $100 and safety chains/cables for both sides was another $40. The lights where I...

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    Idk specifics on what can be swapped on the 89, but pretty sure your not going to find any axle (with disc brakes) that will drop in cause your on 5 lug right? Your best off getting a retrofit kit and converting axle yourself. Although, I'm pretty certain that any vehicle with factory 4 wheel...
