    OEM fender flares for 92-99 suburban

    I stand corrected; when I first heard about this I stared at a 2WD and 4WD at the junkyard until I convinced myself I could see a difference. :lol:

    OEM fender flares for 92-99 suburban

    My understanding was that there's different versions based on 4x4 or 4x2, with the 4x4's being wider. Based on the above photo, neither would be wide enough. Edit - same 4x4 vs 4x2, see post #9.

    Clutch pedal bracket mounting

    There's two different clutch master cylinders used on these trucks, the early one with the metal body and diagonal studs was used 88-91, then the plastic one with horizontal studs was used for the rest of the run. The earlier automatic trans trucks did not come with the upper bracket welded to...

    Brake lights go on when ignition turned on

    Find a wiring diagram and look for common points in what you're seeing (I don't have one that new or I'd share), for example both of those rear lights come on with the 4-way flasher (front lights would likely both be on too though). Does the 3rd brake light still function properly? Usually when...

    Has anyone seen this before?

    The bed floor brace is notched due to the aftermarket shackle, the spring would hit the notch there. A stock shackle has the top eye below the top of the frame rail. Do you have a pic of the hangers too? It's likely got lowering hangers as well for a combined drop of 4" in the rear, which...

    1988 GMC C1500 - Z06 Package!

    Awesome project, what's the plan for the suspension?

    Ls swap fuel gauge ??

    What did you change as far as your fuel system goes? Are you still using the stock sending unit in the tank? If it worked before your swap, focus on what changed. I think you're on the right track with the ground, check the connector back at the sender, not the one up at the firewall. My gauge...

    6.0 ls swapped 95c1500

    I'm sorry I don't recall and don't have those wheels anymore. There was plenty of clearance with my setup though. On the inside it's going to be your leaf springs you need to watch for clearance, should be pretty easy to measure with a straight edge and a tape measure.

    work truck A pillar trim?

    It had the push clip "christmas tree" clips through the headliner and inner layer of cab roof in that area, plus a few across the front rather than the velcro pads.

    6.0 ls swapped 95c1500

    I'm guessing there's a wheel thread in here somewhere with tons of photos, but here's my truck with 275/55R17's on 17"x9" Cragar Soft 8's with 5" backspacing I'm almost positive they were p/n 3978950. This was lowered 2/4 with coils in the front, shackles and hangers in the rear. Fitment was...

    6.0 ls swapped 95c1500

    There's lots of good tools on this page, both the comparison calculator on the left and the comparison charts further down the page, that might help you find something. I've got some 275/55R17 Toyo's that handle a lot better than the 275/60R15 Radial T/A's I had previously. I found the T/A's...

    Overland K1500 Silverado Project "Old Red"

    I skimmed over most things so maybe covered, but you'll have to re-do all of the axle and shock mounts, which gives a good opportunity to get your pinion dialed in. If you don't have the axle already, some years will have discs vs drums (and SUV's have dual piston calipers vs single on the...

    1988 GMC GMT400 custom FlatBed Habitat

    That thing looks awesome, we're going to have to see some more progress pics here

    6.0 ls swapped 95c1500

    3) The LS engines use the same style of Saginaw pump that the GMT400's came with, factory lines should work just fine (I didn't do hydroboost, so can't confirm that part). The Hydroboost pumps just have an extra return to the reservoir. It's easy to swap reservoirs if you want to go that route...

    OEM Caps for '88 w/Steel Wheels

    Yes that's it correct, the actual lug nuts align between the fake allen head ones on the cap. The metal semi circles clip against the lugnut along the tapered section where it seats against the wheel. I have some clipped onto my wheels with the external threads but they would work with normal...

    Recalibrating 1988-1991 speedometer / dash cluster

    Not like the old school stuff. The 88-91 uses a VSS on the trans which creates a square wave signal/pulses, the two twisted wires go into the back of the gauge cluster, through some circuitry to the speedo. The stepper motor (amongst other components) could fail, but it's not like the old...

    Door switch

    Depends on how nicely you want to do it. The factory harness runs across the firewall at the base of the windshield then down to each kick panel where there's a few connectors (at least one for locks and one for windows, third for mirrors if you want them). The harnesses then plug into the...

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    Yup, pretty much the opposite of BHB's thread.

    IRS in a gmt400

    Looks like an awesome deal, should be a fun project. Have you test fit CV shafts yet? I know the GMT900's managed to just sneak by beside the shaft, but your cantilever design should allow tons of space.

    IRS in a gmt400

    This is a really cool project, cantilever suspensions always look rad. In your revisions I think you should adjust your pivots to be in double shear, that lower mount especially will have a hard time with the full weight of the truck on it. Also what secrets is that third gen hiding that you...

    1991 Cheyenne restomod

    You can use the newer style (without metal clips) on the older door, but not the other way around. The interior looks great! Love the work you're doing, and I agree on keeping the stripe/pattern all going the same way.

    Window outer beltline molding

    Yes, the door interiors are different (in addition to the lack of notch for the 88-89 interior door pull). I had a set of doors with each and tried to use the old on the new, it didn't work. I can't totally remember why, but I think it's that the old style had a clip that dropped down into a...

    Question about loose steering

    There's a few sources of slop on these, worn pitman arm is definitely one; usually you'll see the idler arm also needs replacement if the pitman arm is worn out. [Jack up passenger side of truck, grab the tire and try to "steer" it left and right, feel for play, try to get your eyes on the idler...

    Body Off

    I have the same airbox as you, like two days after I got it I learned about the L47 one and have been looking for one ever since. I couldn't find that style of mount on LSSimple, but did find them from LSBrackets. I'll have to keep them in mind if I ever add A/C

    Body Off

    I like what you did with the exhaust, minimal custom work needed! Looks like you've managed to pull off a clean looking install with the ECM back in the factory place and the "stock" airbox. Got any more details on your serpentine setup? Looks like you found a way to have A/C without having to...
