    Thermostat replacement... hoses & water pump too???

    Thermostat seems to take longer before it opens and maintains operating temp. It used to open when it hit "12:00" on the gage and now it's more like "1:00." Once it opens, it holds 10-11:00. It's time to replace the antifreeze too. Hoses (and water pump) are original. I assume that...

    "Bed" mods...

    I'm seriously considering several mods to my truck's bed... When I first bought the truck in 96, I added an under-the-rail bed liner, Extang tonneau cover and 4 tie down hooks which clamp to the underside of the bed rail and don’t interfere with the cover. I’m looking for input on which...

    "Emergency" Car Jack for DD

    After getting a flat tire in my Daily Driver (Civic) and wrestling with what literally looked like a "toy" scissor jack with a 12" handle and a puny lug nut wrench alongside I-64 w/ traffic exceeding the posted 70 mph limit; it's blatantly obvious that I need to upgrade my tools. I'll get a...

    Passenger Side Power Lumbar Out...

    Folks, Truck is in sig below. I ordered it with bucket seats which both have the power lumbar support (some kind of air bladder). The driver’s side works fine, but the passenger’s side has been AWOL for years… I really haven’t looked at it to closely (never sit over there) but I’m tying up...

    How many Silverados with manual trannys?...

    I've always wondered if there was a way to find out how many GMT400's were equiped with manual tranny's and the Silverado trim package. I'd think that they were on the "rare" side, since automatics were part of the Silverado Trim package. Anyone have any insight?

    Drive it or Park it?

    Folks, Truck is in Sig below. Very good condition. During the winter months, I avoid driving it as much as possible due to the stupid amount of road salt used. However, I also realize the cons of letting a 17 yr old truck sit. I do have the ability to start it and let it warm to temp...
