    Winter Weight For Traction?

    Discussion for everyone, especially the folks from the North! Pickup trucks and SUV's alike. Do you run extra ballast in your truck for winter weight? If so, how much? Also, when you 4x4 owners commute, do you like to stay in 4WD? Do you switch back and forth? Try to keep it in 2WD for...

    Alternate Headrests?

    Here's the issue - I have a '95 reg cab with split bench cloth seats. I'm not a big dude, average height and slightly above average weight as of now. Seat is slid all the way back on the rails, but to recline my seat one more click might be the comfort ticket on longer trips. My complaint? I...

    What's Your Favorite Gauge Color Or Combo?

    I've always left my dashes/gauge clusters bone-stock. I see all kinds of stuff with people swapping gauge needles, changing to LED backlighting in various colors, white gauge faces, whole new aftermarket clusters, pods, etc. What's your favorite combo? Not confined to just GMT400's. Also add...

    Good Front Valance (Without Tow Hooks)

    Hey guys, I took off my front valance awhile ago with the intention of painting my bumper and grille. The one I have is in fine shape, but I have a body lift. The tow hook holes are well above the tow hooks, so I'd rather have a solid one without tow hook holes. Winter is here, and I guess...

    I couldn't find anything juicy in the search function. Is anyone out there running polyurethane body mounts / body mount bushings? My truck has a bad one where the steel inner core rotted out, now the passenger rear of the cab is drooping noticeably. I was just gonna replace the one with a...

    Heater Core Experience?

    Howdy everyone. Greased up the front end parts on my truck yesterday, had to start it to turn the steering to get to a couple more fittings. Return under the truck to find a good sized splash of coolant on the floor. Did a search and was amazed on how simple the heater core can be to change...

    Billet Grille Inserts...Who Has 'Em?

    I live in the wonderfully weathered Midwest, and seeing how my truck is definitely not a show truck, I'm looking for a billet grille that's kinda tough against the elements and road salt. I like the classic horizontal bar grille inserts, and I'd like to get the type that requires cutting...

    Water Pump Gaskets Won't Hold?

    Okay, here goes. I just changed water pump gaskets on my '95, I used some old ROL gaskets I had laying around, applied a thin coat of RTV, and put it on. After about 30 miles, driver side completely blew out and made a good size mess. The second time, I brushed/cleaned the surfaces, bought a...

    Cams Vs. Emissions

    I thought about buying another TBI truck like I had in the past for a new daily driver. My only gripe is that it was scarcely underpowered, so I did a couple mods to it to crank it up. I live in a hardcore emissions area. OBD-I vehicles have to get the sniffer test done on the dyno. My...

    Blower Motor Help?

    Alright, the main issue is with my blower motor. Truck hasn't had working A/C in years, so I never use the controls during the summer. Started a few years ago when the blower motor resistor toasted. I figured I can keep using it on "hi" for the remainder of the winter. Within a short time...
