    Headers, headers, HEADERS??

    I have a 1990 k1500 and a month ago I installed Hedman long tube headers and dual exhaust. They fit like a dream and was cake to install. Seriously. The exhaust takes ingenuity but I had an experienced shop do it and its worked great. I’m away from home for a week but when I get back I’m going...

    Lowering a 4x4

    I heard if you cut the torsion bars in two with a cutting torch will work, cheap too.

    Should I upgrade Leaf Springs?

    I agree with others posting here on their very valid points. Yeah I replaced my springs, but were VERY rusted, bushings dried out and cracked, pads shot,etc. and I certainly agree about OEM being good stuff. But in my case mine were worn out and aftermarket worked for my situation. But certainly...

    Should I upgrade Leaf Springs?

    I had replaced the rear springs on my 1990 k1500 and wasn’t a bad move. Fairly inexpensive too. I’ve since added an add a leaf. Airbags might not be a bad idea, adjustable for height and or added carrying capacity. But personally I was pretty happy with the new springs. Got them on rock auto. If...

    K1500 ls swap headers

    Is on the house. I don’t think your thread needed to be bumped either. Great post. I just remembered when I made a post first time I was on here and a self important moron commented ‘hopefully a moderator will move my post’. My initiation at the time there’s some pretty shallow people on here.

    Long tubes

    I like the comment dude went on about being custom fabrication to bend shift linkage. lol. And anyone that has ever heard of headers knows custom exhaust work is needed. But, luckily there are those among us who have fabricated for years to remind us.

    1990 gauge swap

    Thank you much. Yeah turns out 88 to 90 are the same but late 90 and early 91 use needle gauges and the same plug for the cluster. Then from late 91 through 94 a different plug

    1990 gauge swap

    Hello there. 1990 k1500 5.7 auto. Found me a needle type cluster from a 91 to replace the moon gauges in my truck. Same type plug adapter, had to move three wires and boom. Works great. But, as there is always a hitch in my case turned out the tach is for v6 and of course it reads high and...

    Long tubes

    I liked the part about the headers hitting the gas tank. Anyway, I knew a guy that had a set on an 89 k1500. But I’ve lost contact with him. Thank you for the input

    Long tubes

    Hello everyone. 1990 K1500 6 inch lift 5.7 automatic. I’m wanting to install long tube headers and dual shorty exhaust and I’m thinking dual glass packs. Anyone have any good advice or what they might have done?
