    Bleedin' Brakes

    What is it about these trucks that you can bleed all 4 corners and the pedal is hard as a rock, and then you start it up and it's mush. Is it the ABS module?

    Holes in pads (not GMT400)

    These are the old brake pads from my C8. Never seen this before and all 8 pads are like this. I compared to the new pads and it appears these holes hold some kind of substance. I'm curious what it was and what is it supposed to do. I'm wondering if these were supposed to be used with a shim and...

    C10 on track

    I was drooling over the truck at the start of the video. I don't know if the driver was getting all he could out of it or not, but I saw it go on 3 wheels in some of the turns as it lifted the inside front wheel off the ground a good bit.

    Can't upload pics

    Oops we ran into a problem. The image is too big. Just me, or anyone else? I shrunk it down to 800K and it still won't let me.

    The herd grows

    Went looking at this with my other son today. Picking it up next week. I really wanted a Blazer with the earlier interior, and it needs some work of course (roof needs paint), but these are getting harder to find in decent condition. So, I jumped on it. My dad had a white S10 Blazer when I was...

    Spark Plug boots

    I've never made a spark plug wire before. First time for everything. Holy **** these boots are a pain in the ass. I spent an hour making one wire and I still don't have the boot on right. I used WD-40 for lube. What's the trick for these things? It can't really be that hard.

    Death Wheel Strikes Again

    I got a sliver in my eye the other day cutting off a rusted bolt from 1967 D100. I was wearing safety glasses and I was behind the guard on the grinder but a little piece ricocheted off something hit my cheek and then bounced into my eye. I'm going to be fine, but I had to get the eye doc to...

    Welding Helmets

    Related to the current welder thread, what say ye on helmets? I've had my eye on this https://www.eastwood.com/panoramic-view-welding-helmet.html My biggest challenge when welding is being able to see WTF I'm doing.

    Free Truck (Central TX)

    I really need to get rid of this eyesore this week. It will take a lot of work to get on the road again if you want to do that. It's not al there and I am not sure all what is missing. I'll give members here top priority, but I'm not going to hold it more than a day or two, so be prepared to...

    1967 Dodge D100

    Life is too easy working on old Chevy's so I had to complicate things. It's got a slant six and 3 on the tree. It's in surprisingly great shape. The drip rails are 100% solid, so are the cab corners and almost all the sheet metal. I found some very small pin holes in the outer rocker and bottom...

    FPR?

    1999 K2500 7.4 160k miles Hot starts are sputtery if it sits more than 20 minutes, and the idle surges in drive after it warms up too. When it's cold no problems, fires right up and idles fine. Symptoms of a bad fuel pressure regulator? Gas mileage seems to be holding steady at 10 mpg everywhere.

    Power window randomness

    So the other day I had to panic brake and swerve in the middle of a lane change while I was putting on my right turn signal. I immediately noticed my left turn signal stopped working and about 10 minutes later I noticed the driver's power window stopped working. A couple days later the turn...

    Mad Customs

    This is a father/son project that will eventually be my sons first truck. It had "madcustoms.com" stenciled on the dash so we've been calling it Mad Custom. As far as I can tell it was totally stock except for some flame graphics in the interior and dash cluster. We totally replaced the entire...
