    My truck is a killer

    Anyone else's truck kill things on the regular? My truck kills a battery about every 2 years, which I've know for the last 15 years or so. Luckily its usually dead in my driveway, so I'm not stranded out anywhere. New to me is it now likes to kill IAC valve about every 10 years. Is it my...

    Door Lock Actuators

    Do y'all have issues with big brand store parts? Feels like I've bought about 3 dorman products and they don't have enough oomph to lock/unlock both doors. Can't remember the brand on rockauto now, but they seemed beefier. Driver side is original and it isn't powerful enough anymore to even...

    Wheel Bearing Issue?

    First, a little background. In 2017 I replaced all front suspension components except the spindles and steering gear box. In August 2018, either my inner or outer or both wheel bearings on passenger side failed while I was driving and made a bad sound that sounded like my wheel collapsed in on...

    I have upper & lower control arms for sale. Old ball joints & bushings are still there, so you'd need to get them out yourself. Everything seen in pics is for sale. $60.00 for everything + shipping. Or make me an offer on individual items. -Eric 817-805-3903

    Performance Suspension Bits

    I'm in the process of removing/replacing UCA's/LCA's, inner/outer tie rods, upper/lower ball joints, pitman & idler arms as they're all pretty worn out. Figure its also a good time to replace shocks and coil springs. I see that Moog products are what a lot of people like. And that brand would...

    1997 Sierra C1500 - TX

    I've had this truck since Feb. 2001 I think. Most of the things I've done are just general maintenance. Its got a 350. I first had a flowmaster muffler with dual exhaust put on in probably 2002. That was maybe the first thing I ever had done to it. The guy put on a single inlet dual outlet...

    Cam Retard Offset

    Finished putting intake back in in the burb and everything and thought I was careful putting the dist back in, but apparently not careful enough. Last time I had to do this on the ecsb I ended up buying the scan XL tool & software but the ex took off with the laptop that had it installed and I...

    Radio Faceplate Buttons

    Has anyone tried replacing the buttons or lights behind the buttons on the OE radio? It's not that big of a deal, but I think only my '2' and '4' light up right now so I was going to replace the light(s) behind them. There's a motherboard or whatever you call it after you remove the faceplate...

    97 Sierra A/C Reinstallation

    I've perused this site for some time now for tips and stuff and finally registered. I now have my own question to ask. I removed almost everything a/c related in 2010 because the clutch had seized on my compressor. I was having delusions of grandeur and thought I'd be getting some new high...
