97 K3500 manual shift T-case bushings
I've heard in the past about using molasses, but I'd forgotten about it. As it happens, I just finished getting it unstuck. I put it in a vise and gave it a tap with a brass hammer, which pushed the bushing out of the hole in the T-case shift lever. Then I pried the bushing off of the shaft -...- Dave Aley

97 K3500 manual shift T-case bushings
I have a 97 K3500 with a 5.7, but it's a dually with a 10k GVWR, so either a BW 4401 or 4470 T-case. It's been having trouble going into low range, which I think is wear in the bushings on the manual shift linkage. I pulled the lever completely off this evening, and the adjustment threads are...- Dave Aley

NP246 Autotrak in a K1500 99 Suburban..... is this bad news, good news, or wha?
The 4L60e has a 27-spline output, and the 4L80e has a 32-spline. You can buy a 32-spline input shaft for your NP246 for about $75. You may need to do some research to figure out the correct bearing to use with the input shaft. It means you have to tear into the transfer case to swap the shaft...- Dave Aley

Whats Your Favorite Towing Add-On
Backup cameras are high on my list of future add-ons. My 97 dually has the big tripod mirrored that we're optional from the factory, but even with those the rearward visibility isn't that great even without a trailer. I'm just waiting until I'm ready to take the plunge and do the dash conversion... -

Suggestions for trailer brake wiring
I have a '97 dually. It has a brake controller that was there when I bought it, but it doesn't work. There's a 6-pin in the bed that was used with a gooseneck, and I've replaced the 6-pin on the rear bumper with a 7-blade to match my trailer. The wiring in the back is not very well done (I was... -

Sheared distributor gear on '97 5.7
My nephew was driving my '97 dually a couple of weeks ago when it suddenly died. He pulled off the side of the interstate and called me, and I called a wrecker and had it towed to the shop. They just called me to say that they found that the distributor gear had sheared off. For several months...- Dave Aley

to weld or not to weld?
Welding is easier if you know what you're doing. You want enough heat for good penetration, but no more than that so that you keep the heat affected zone small. The frame (and probably the brackets you've fabbed) are thin enough that you shouldn't have to worry about preheat. Make sure the area...- Dave Aley
