    I'll have to study up on that.

    Best shocks for potholes

    I have 18" wheels and had 31.5" total diameter tires that worked well with poor tuning radius. I dropped down to 31" Cooper Evolutions and feel a lot more bumps. Hard to believe that .5" would make much difference. I believe these Coopers have a stiff sidewall, though. Yeah, I got educated on...

    Best shocks for potholes

    TBIGUYS - Check out this site ....TEIN.co.jp/e: Mono-Tube vs Twin-Tube - SPECIAL. It convinced me to go with the Gabriel Ultra Shocks since I do not go off-roading. Otherwise, I would have chosen the Gabriel Max Control as suggested by kenthewelder. Previously, I had dismissed any gas shocks. No...

    Kenny - Do you have any thoughts comparing the Gabriels to Monroe Sensa Trac or Monroe original equipment?

    Best shocks for potholes

    I was on the verge of going with the Bilstein B6 4600 shocks for my stock '93 C1500 truck (with oversize tires, don't know if that matters). But I'm having second thoughts because they are a more heavy-duty shock which I believe is stiffer than say OE shocks. I do want to upgrade, but a...

    What shocks do I buy?

    Seems to me that nobody gave you any great advice on what shocks to go with. I too am looking for a comfortable ride on a stock vehicle (with larger tires, don't know how much that affects things). I was going to go with the Bilstein 4600s but feel they may be a little too stiff for my liking...

    New TBI for '93, 5.7?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll save my hard earned cash for future problems.

    New TBI for '93, 5.7?

    Nothing wrong to my knowledge. Is your take (& df2x4) that a tbi can and perhaps should continue to work more than adequately after 27 years of use and there would only be a minimum amount of improvement gained by replacing it with a new one. I originally wanted to replace the cam. But I have...

    New TBI for '93, 5.7?

    Would I benefit much by installing a new tbi in my 245,000 mile engine? Recommendations on what to install?

    Geez Tim, even the print out in your glove compartment is clean! Some little old lady drive that truck for over 20 years here in AZ? Had I known.....

    Still, a hell of a lot cheaper than going almost any other route! Your step side becomes a rarer timeless vehicle everyday. Enjoy the ride; you have earned it!

    1999 5 spd 7.4 dies at idle

    I am having a problem with my 5.7 going into a low idle at a stop and occasionally dying. You say that it's fine in the driveway. I'm assuming that it's in park. Mine does well until it's in gear at a stop. Don't know if this info could be a clue. I'm not 'engine savvy.'

    Great truck to begin with. Step side has STYLE written all over it (not for everyone). Great job by you! I wish that I was as capable. Cost for the engine?

    Glass headlight reccomendation needed

    I bought these plastic Spyder Crystal Headlights - HD-JH-GMCCK88-LED-AM-C-SET from AutoAnything. They look great, work well, but are cheaply made. One of the 'adjusters' gave out completely. I took the headlight apart to fix it. It was only a temporary fix; but fortunately I got it aligned...

    Random plug in engine bay

    I have the same unattached plug in my '93 2wd. In 20 years, no mechanic has made mention of it. I noticed it last year when I started working on my own vehicle (now retired). I could not see a connecting piece.

    What gear Ratio is best?

    I concur with Randomguy - 4.56 ratio at a MINIMUM. The 4.88 ratio is probably the better fit, though. There is a formula to help with the numbers. (Those in the know - chime in!) I changed out the gears in my c1500, 5.7 from 3.42 to 4.10 to compensate for 31" tires. Truck runs great! I used the...
