That was 3 months ago and now it's leaking on the right side on the top of the intake and the coolant is running down the edge of the head and spilling off of...

    My 98 K1500 bushings are rusted and about shot, the truck rides like **** on rough roads and pot holes. It seems replacing them is a *****. My 6.5' bed had a high, heavy fiberglass A R E shell w a fiberglass back door that replaced the tailgate all it's life until I bought it. The truck sits...

In the last month we've had a lot of rain/driving in heavy rain and I've noticed the ride is much more harsh even driving 25/35 mph around in town where the roads have...

    I need a new power steering gearbox......

    I don't want to replace the 1998 OEM unit w one that won't last long. Looking for one that will last for 20+/- yrs like the OEM in my 98 truck. It works fine but it's leaking from the shaft seals and every shop or mechanic says it would better to get a new one instead of replacing the seals. I...

It goes away in less than a minute.All of the guages work fine except for the slight shaking of the fuel gauge. Also in the last month or so when I open the driver door w the key in...

    Camber cam bolts......

    I'm replacing my upper arms soon. Do I need greaseable or not? I'm curious. I'm looking @ the non grease ACdelco sets cuase their cheaper than some of the other brands, but I trust their quality. If I use them would moly grease be ok.
