    Steering Chronicles...

    Been dealing with some funky steering issues recently... All started with a broken pitman arm last fall. Since then, I've gone through a litany of issues with odd tire wear, hard pulling, binding, wandering, etc. Finally went through and just replaced everything. Brand new MOOG pitman and...

    Ebay Silverado HD Bearings/Hubs

    Anyone tried one of these ebay bearings? They're available from a few different sellers for $80-100. Can't tell what brand they are. Seems really cheap considering they cost $200-300 on rockauto for Timken, SKF, National, etc aftermarket bearings and ~$500 for OEM from dealers. Part number...

    Brake Pedal Travel- How much?

    How far does your brake pedal move before you actually get some resistance? Mine seems like it goes a good 2-3" before it starts to really take pressure. I just replaced my front brakes (rotors and pads), and the rears were replaced once already and are in good shape. I bled the crap outta...

    Homemade Grip Strut Running Boards

    Just finished a set of running boards/steps for my truck. I've been looking for a while (the short girls always complain about having to jump up) for some decent running boards, but I've never been able to find anything to my liking... So I designed these myself. I can post more details (and...

    Fuel filter with about 5-7k on it...

    Don't know exactly how many miles this has on it, but I know it's less than 7,000... pretty nasty looking. Also, clearly some water in the fuel! Truck was just starting to bog down a little if I punched it hard...

    Counterweight or Ballast in the Winter

    What (if any) do you use? I used to put about 600lbs of sandbags in the back, but they always become such a mess by the end of the winter. This year I got some steel suitcase weights though my work (cheaper than scrap steel, believe it or not); have 16 40lb blocks for 640lbs that doesn't...

    6.0 dies out, heat comes on regardless of setting

    Got an odd problem with my dad's '04 6.0 gasser. The other day it wouldn't start; completely dead in the driveway. Came back a few hours later and still wouldn't start. Then apparently he opened the door and the interior lights just came on, power was back and the truck started right up and...

    Airbag + Seat + Left Rear Window

    Got an odd problem. Was doing some work on the truck and when finished I noticed a couple weird things. All the sudden, the airbag light is on on the dash. In addition, the power driver seat doesn't work and the left rear window doesn't roll down. Is there any one connector, fuse, or...

    Nasty Bearing Noise

    Got an ugly bearing noise coming out of my motor. Can't tell if it's inside the motor or off the serpentine belt. Sounds like your typical bearings about to grenade sound; like a glass jar of BB's being shaken. It's intermittent; it comes and goes at idle, but is more common when the...
