    Possible Engine Build for my 93 Truck

    Bearings looks mighty good from here. I’d throw in a sliver of plastugaug and see what clearance there is. I always use the permatex gasket sealer thats in the bottle with the brush on the cap. Coat the main bearing block surfaces on each side with that. Then also the very ends of the seal and...

    Possible Engine Build for my 93 Truck

    Stamp them rods and caps and main bearing caps, but, do it wile they still are torqued. Plastigauge is Your friend. If there is no major scoring or wear on the bearings and they ppastigauge out okay then I’d not be afraid to reuse them. Those bearings all are work hardened in and should last a...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Yeah, I had installed 4” over Rancho shocks but now am ready to drop back down the front end, readjust the torsion bar adjustment bolts. Get it back to factory ride height. After I get the truck tires back on the floor I’ll drop the front then with the shocks still not fastened at the lower...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    I bought new stock length Monroe front shock absorbers. Attached the top of the shock to the bracket. With no front wheels/tires on the truck, jack stands under the frame, the length of the shock is still at least an inch short of being able to install the bolt through the lower shock to...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    New NAPA FLEET service ball joints dont fit. Upper dont fit within the U bend and lower is too small of an OD for the bore. Damnit. I could go to oriellys and possibly get units that fit, except for, I want parts that last even if I dont. 😬🤷🏼😹😹😹 Okay, off with the drive shaft. Remind me to first...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Ball joints. Screwed up and ground the rivet heads just a little too far , then could not get them to budge to get a sight of the corcular imprint. Ended it by pulling the upper control arm. Heaven forbid, I hope to get it back on close enough to get it about four miles to the alignment shop...
