    Can't Turn Off Alerts

    So I've been having trouble lately with my account and getting alerts for seemingly every new thread that's started. I went to my alert preferences and unchecked everything, but it didn't help. I can't figure out why I keep getting the alerts or how to turn them off. Everything else seems to be...

    Double Flaring Stainless

    So I've been trying to double flare some new 3/8 stainless steel fuel line and it keeps slipping through the clamp portion of the tool. I went and borrowed another tool and had the same problem. Even got some extra leverage on the nuts and cranked everything down tight. The line still slipped...

    Options for Trailering my 96

    So I'm going to be moving in about a week and will probably need to take my truck with me if it doesn't sell first. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to move it. I sort of looked into having it hauled, but that seemed way more expensive than it's worth for the distance. I just need to...

    '76 Highboy Restomod/Overland Light Build

    Got this old truck a little while ago, but it's at my dads and I didn't have time to take pics until now. It's a 1976 F250 that my grandpa bought almost new. He was downsizing and gave the truck to me. It hasn't been driven in the last few years, but was driven a little before that. This truck...

    Aux light comparisons/opinions

    So I found some KC Apollo 6 inch halogen spots for about $100 at the parts store the other day. Does anyone have experience with these? What about comparisons between apollo's and daylighters? I currently have the 9011/9012 bulbs with HD/4 High harness which works pretty good. I also have some...

    14 bolt SF vs FF

    I need to do the gear oil and gasket on my 96 C2500 8 lug. How do I tell the difference between the semi-float and full float so I know what gasket to get? Here's some pics of my RPO codes and rear dif.

    Pitman Arm Help

    I was going to put the steering components and sway bar back on my truck. I couldn't get the pitman arm fully seated. I saw a video where the guy said to tighten the nut to push it on then take it off and put it back on the final time with the lock washer. Well mine didn't go all the way on. It...

    2wd Front Shock Hardware/Removal

    I'm currently pulling apart my front end for a rebuild and snapped one of the lower mounting bolts on my shocks. Does anyone know what kind of replacement bolts I need to get? It's a C2500 8 lug if that matters. Also, any tips on removing the top nut? I'm about to go look for some vise grips to...

    Front End Rebuild/Lift Questions

    I'm getting ready to rebuild the front end on my C2500 8 lug and want to make sure I've got all I need before getting started. Any recommendations on what I've got lined out or specialty tools? Any special sized wrenches I'll need? https://imgur.com/nGaFYTc https://imgur.com/lj4Rjzl Depending...

    Ever Scene Led Pods with Dimmer Wire?

    I got some led pods installed earlier. They came with a decent wiring harness but also have a yellow pigtail wire labeled dimmer at the light. The yellow wire does not connect into the wiring harness anywhere and they have no instructions. Does anyone have an idea what this wire's for? They seem...

    How To: Automatic Toolbox Lights, Self Contained

    How To: Automatic Toolbox Lights, Self Contained I originally got this idea when looking for a way to have light in my horse trailer without having the truck hooked up or adding a marine type battery. I got some of my ideas from a build thread on another forum...

    Homelink Buttons for Auxiliary Light Switch

    I'm in the middle of transferring some blazer overhead console parts into a truck console that I will be installing. I will be putting the homelink in the truck but don't see myself ever using it for the intended purpose. I thought the homelink buttons would be a discrete, OEM switch for future...

    Junkyard ID/Interior Parts

    I stopped by the pick and pull today and have a couple of questions. First, I picked up an overhead console. The problem is, I have the maroon interior in my truck. Is it possible to get new headliner materiel for this console or does that dupli-color stuff work pretty good? Second, I was...

    Maroon96's 1996 C2500 Daily Driver Build

    I recently found this forum and, after spending some time looking and learning, decided to start a build thread to keep track of the changes I make to my truck. It will probably be slow going, but I've got a lot of plans to clean this truck up, make it one of a kind, and hopefully keep it around...
