    2WD Traction Bars

    Awesome thanks guys. Just thought I'd check with people who have actually installed the bars on modified trucks before I call Calvert, wouldn't be the first time I've been told "it'll fit."

    2WD Traction Bars

    I'm liking the idea of Cal-tracs, but with only 2" drop shackles in the back and no drop in the front, will they be a bolt on fit? It seems most Cal-trac systems are on trucks with axle over spring setups, and I cant find information on them to verify that they'll work.

    2WD Traction Bars

    305 with intake and exhaust with headers, black bear tune and 2" drop shackles. The kicker is its got an NV3500 which allows for some pretty quick launches if I could get the axle to stay planted..

    2WD Traction Bars

    I have a 97 GMC RCSB 2WD that has some nasty axle wrap and wheel hop on hard acceleration. I also have a friend who builds traction bars for trucks but specializes in 4WD and lifted trucks. He doesnt really want to build a set of Cal-trac style bars as he never has before, so for a very...

    NV3500 vibration

    Hey, recently my 2WD 98 started making a high frequency vibration only on deceleration. The kicker is that it only happens between 55 and 50 mph. I feel the vibration through my foot mostly, but it seems I can feel it through the shifter as well. Pressing in the clutch makes no difference in the...

    Bed Lighting (W/ A Few Pics)

    Here's a few pics of the LED lighting I installed in the bed of my truck. It didn't take me long owning the truck to realize that the cargo light is kind of pathetic, so I wired these in. The switch I took out of dad's parts truck and with a file and a drill i cut a square out of the blank and...

    97 NV3500 to LS Engine

    Well, after searching through the bowels of the internet, I've answered some of my questions. It seems that the 4.8 was available in front of an NV3500. With a 4.8 flywheel and clutch, it should be a bolt up fit. Now with DD sliding engine mounts, the transmission should stay put and the engine...

    97 NV3500 to LS Engine

    Been doing some looking at replacing the tired 305 in my truck, and before I just throw a 350 in it, I have a few questions about an LS swap. I have the necessary mechanical skills, as I am a tech for John Deere. Anyways, I can only seem to find info on mating an LS to an automatic. So my...

    The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

    How is the air bag switch retained in the dash? Mine is falling out on one side and I can't determine if there are tabs broken off or if they are just not catching.

    Hi everyone! My name is Jordan. I'm 17 and am apprenticing as a John Deere Ag Tech. I just bought this beaut out of TN and drove it back to Ontario. It's a '97 with a 305, 5spd, and 3.48 gears. Gotta love getting 20mpg! The truck is stock except for some Walmart go-fast rims and a stereo deck...
