    G80 Gov-Lock Differential Thrust Washer

    Does anyone have information on this thrust bearing? #16 on the diagram. I'm looking for what THICKNESS or TOLERANCE it needs to be. Also, where I could source one or a few. I found the diagram and part numbers on GMwholesalepartsonline.com, but in case I can't get it through them I'd still...

    Max negative camber, removing limiting tabs in upper control arm front brackets.

    (1989 Silverado, RCSB, 5.7L) Wanted to share how I was able to achieve -2.5° of camber in the front with stock control arms and a 5/6 drop. I use my truck for autocross so I want all the negative camber I can get. It really made a incredible improvement in cornering power. The front upper...

    700R4 Lock Out in Fourth Gear Immediatly

    I've been chasing transmission problems/nuisances since I got the truck a year ago. Long story short, did lots of repairs and works great now.
