    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Something I've noticed in 20+ years of non-consent towing (car snatching) - people that you would expect to be grown-ass adults are really just oversized toddlers. They naturally try to push the envelope to see what they can get away with, at every opportunity. It's not an optimistic outlook...

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Good to hear there's a plan for dealing with the hernia. My first thought was you were saying you were out of the game for good on certain activities, but it sounds like you could be OK after surgery and a healing period? Even still, you may look into using a tire dolly to R&R wheels, like the...

    ORVietVet 2004 Silverado K2500HD Crew Cab 6.0

    Plenty of work is a great problem to have, until quality or speed of service suffers enough that it harms your reputation. Hope his helper gets well soon and they can get caught up. If he's got that much in line it sounds like a lot of folks trust and depend on him. Richard

    Stutaeng's 1999 Silverado

    I'd give y'all some crap for getting an 800 instead of a 400 but I almost forgot what forum I'm on.. this isn't gmt400.com, LOL Truck looks nice! Agreed; some repaint up top and it'll be really sharp. Richard

    Steering Angle Sensor - what's it do?

    From what I can see in the application list on GMpartsgiant, the sensor was only used in some SUV's, no pickups are shown on the list (not that those lists are always a reliable source of info.) - https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-sensor-26104070.html I wondered if it's part of the RPO Z55...

    Steering Angle Sensor - what's it do?

    I *think* Stabilitrak is RPO JL4. Pretty sure there's not one for EVO which wasn't an option, it was standard equipment beginning in 1997 GMT400's. It makes sense to me now why there are those large slots in the plastic for the lower column bearing, since that sensor fits right into them...

    Beautiful day 73*

    Great pictures.. looks like some amazing weather. What a cool bridge! The chasm must be an awesome sight when the water shoots up like you mentioned. All I've got are some older pics from Bolivar Beach / Bolivar Peninsula (short ferry ride across from Galveston TX) Sometimes we'd take the...

    New to Me GMT800? (Edit: Our New Yukon)

    Sometimes those old timer trucks are the best. I'm flying out not this next week but the week after to pick up a '94 C1500 ext cab (yes another one, this will be for my wife) that looks like a certified old timer truck. Deal already done, paid for, just gotta go get it. First owner had it...

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    It's an addiction. I can't explain it any other way that each time I'm looking at a new truck, one of the very first things that goes through my head is "drop it" Richard

    2000 Silverado z71 refurb

    Haven't done any business with those guys yet but I see them mentioned a lot. Seem to be legit. Being a big fan of the 1990-1994 GMT400 seats, I hate the idea of having to swap anything else in their place, but the split bench in my '93 GMC is getting a bit threadbare, and there's no easy...

    2000 Silverado z71 refurb

    I've bought ACC carpet before and it was pretty good. They have the option for the mass backing for a few bucks more. Recommended.. I can't imagine getting the carpet without it. Richard

    What have you done to your GMT800 lately?

    Yeah, that's kinda what I'm saying - you have manual seats, no connections to pull. On a power seat there's a lot of connections and several of them are hard/maybe impossible to reach with the seat installed. Still, it's easy to get the whole seat out to work on it. From door open to door...

    This isn't just about member's vehicle's pics-Closed/No Interest

    I'd lose my mind with a couple days of that. Now after a little Chinese fire drill, I'm in "ready to go to work, let's catch a nap before dinner" mode. :) Richard

    What have you done to your GMT800 lately?

    IMO removing the seat is pretty easy, and worth it to make easier access to all the various connectors (if you've got power/heated/blah blah seats like I had.) Unplugging a few of those were tricky even with the seat out. Armed with the knowledge the edges of the sheetmetal are razor sharp, I...

    This isn't just about member's vehicle's pics-Closed/No Interest

    Make the snowbound jealous? With pics of.. let's see, I've got some vehicles out in the driveway that are absolutely coated in pollen and dead leaves! ;) Wife's Silverado is practically turning green. The 300 is outside and the new-to-me '94 Sierra is in the garage, because it's the end of my...

    Dealing with power steering leak from brake booster

    Another common source for hydroboost-related leaks are the lines themselves, once they get some sufficient age and miles on them. You'll want to degrease the area thoroughly and run it a short while to see where the leaks are. Richard

    Work out of my garage/driveway

    Related but unrelated. It kinda cracked me up when you said the road test was uneventful. That's what one would hope for, but at the same time, you could take it a different way. In the early 90's I was managing tech at a computer store that had a pretty high volume (we built our own PC's...

    Stutaeng's 1999 Silverado

    Careful.. I'm on a recruiting mission for drivers. We have a great core crew but I'm tired of this revolving door of knuckleheads we've got that keep filling the extra spots. I feel like I probably shouldn't even save their phone #'s until they make it past 90 days. Richard

    86 Camaro IROC Z28 lower control arm bushings

    Oh!!! I gotcha. OK. Well at least with the poly bushings you don't have to sweat having the car at ride height to torque the LCA's down, like you would with the OEM rubber. Richard

    FEDEX RANT

    Sounds like the old story we've heard about buying jugs of oil at Walmart only to open them and find it was someone's old oil they brought back and scammed through the returns. Maybe that happened, maybe it didn't; but you could easily imagine some disinterested returns clerk may have not even...
