    Noise at highway speeds

    Hey guys, lately my truck has developed a small issue. At first I thought it was the exhaust, but it turns out it's not. It's makes this kinda growl/roaring noise, similar to that of an exhaust drone. It's happens at speeds of 65+mph. I know it's not the exhaust cause I can knock it into...

    Rear diff

    I'm looking for a solid replacement for the G80 currently in my truck. Going with 35's and 4.56 gears and since its gonna be out, I want to replace it so it doesn't grenade when I'm off road. I was looking at the Eaton truetrac. Any opinions? Suggestions? Thanks

    Odd clutch issue

    Need some help on this one... Lately the clutch in my truck has been acting odd. Sometimes the pedal will be just like it should be. Normal pressure and everything. Then once in a while the pedal will get hard. Very hard. From what I can tell, the engagement point doesn't change. Just the...

    Speedometer issues

    hey guys, I've noticed that my speedometer reads 2-3mph too fast. I know it's not much, but its enough to annoy me, and its not right so the odometer prolly shows more miles than what the truck actually has. Is there a way to fix this on a 1995 5spd truck? Or is it in the tune/chip where it...

    RCX 6" lift and 5spd?

    Hey guys, lately Ive been looking into putting an RCX 6" lift on the truck, and all seems fairly straight forward, except for one part.

    16x7 Cragar soft 8's

    Since Im no longer using these rims, I figure I'd put these up for sale so I can get rid of them. Like the title says, they are 16x7 black Cragar Soft 8's. The center caps are included. The center caps have been power coated black a few yrs ago. The rims and caps are not perfect. Although there...

    Found my exhaust leak.

    And for anyone else who has that dreadful exhaust leak that they cant get rid of, check where the primaries go into the header collector. One of the welds on mine completely broke off. Hoping a little JB weld will do the trick. Since is not in a place where I can get a welder. Just a heads...

    Temp gauge

    Hey guys, lately my temp gauge has been weird. The last sender that was in, would read way hot, 3-4 marks past 210, then way cold, 3-4marks below 210. I though maybe the t-stat was sticking so I replaced that, but still did the same thing. I recently replaced both the sensor and sender for the...
