86 Camaro IROC Z28 lower control arm bushings
Will he be going poly on the uppers, too? It would be wise to not mix them, as the rubber and poly are very likely different durometers. The poly is gonna be stiffer. Richard- someotherguy

86 Camaro IROC Z28 lower control arm bushings
When I did control arm bushings on my '92 C1500 forever and a decade ago, I borrowed my buddy's Snap-on u-joint service kit, the big heavy duty C-clamp style. With a good variety of u-joint adapters and some various sizes of scrap pipe he'd included in the kit over the years, I was able to...- someotherguy

FEDEX RANT
When my flip kit and shocks showed up looking like this from FedEx.. I was ready for them when they showed up with the drop spindles. "Oh we don't do that on the truck, it's the guys at the warehouse" he says. I don't give a damn who did it.. if there's any damage or missing parts, I'm...- someotherguy

2000 Silverado z71 refurb
Here's my quote from another post on doing the service ports on my '06 (easy): "Replacing the A/C service ports on my truck was a snap, even though I didn't have the oddball socket for the high side, I was able to remove it with an adjustable wrench. It's not super tight or anything, being an...- someotherguy

2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck
Yep. I tried to cover all the bases with those - several of those pics are "quadrants" if you will of the top of the engine, so you can see how everything was arranged before harnesses and hoses got disconnected, and bolts removed. Richard- someotherguy

2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck
If there's a bunch of varied fasteners and order of operations - this part on top of that part, blah blah.. I'll take lots of pictures beforehand, and have the laptop nearby to view while re-assembling. This was on the intake job for my '94 5.7.. About the first half of these pics are prior...- someotherguy

ORVietVet 2004 Silverado K2500HD Crew Cab 6.0
Could be wrong but I think '04 is when they went internal. MAYBE '05. Could also be one of those mid-year changes. Richard- someotherguy

HOW TO: Add fog lights to 99-02, no programming.
Before assuming the sensor is bad**, check the DRL bulbs. They're high watt bulbs and are often burnt out. I remember when this feature first hit the scene with GMT800's and even practically new trucks were often seen running around with a DRL bulb already burnt out. **edit - just saw I...- someotherguy

Tire Stories
Tire stories? Maybe not as exciting as some of y'all's, but these left an impression. When I was driving long haul, running for a company that, like most, put recaps on their trailers..regardless of how well you'd check 'em during pretrip, invariably you'd lose a tire on a regular basis. For...- someotherguy

Tire Stories
Those metric wheels are such a rarity here in the U.S. - I'd have to think hard about what all vehicles came with them. There were a few Ford models for a little while, I think? Taurus? Mustang? and then of course you get your BMW's with the TRX wheels. That was actually a "selling point"...- someotherguy

If they're smart (or following the rules) they still use those cages although the split rims are (mostly) a long gone thing of the past. Thank goodness. Richard- someotherguy

4silverado's 2004 Silverado
On 400's they're not, so the first time I encountered this concept of individually fused headlights, it was on a work truck GMT900 that kept burning up the driver side low beam connector. I replaced it a few times over the years, but one of those times it popped the fuse and left me stumped for...- someotherguy

Y'all already know me
No worries :) but I do see you keeping up on the membership effort. Great work. Since joining of course I've shed one of the 800's, as the Intimidator SS has moved on to a new owner after nearly 10 years with me. To be replaced by another 400 :) Oh, and I dunno why I shared the pic of my...- someotherguy

Dunno if an '04 has the headlights individually fused but I bet they are, so be sure check that fuse. Richard- someotherguy

Hello from TX
Welcome, neighbor! Sorry to hear about the theft (Houston is thick with it as I'm sure you already know) but glad to hear you got it back mostly in one piece, especially the drivetrain. Richard- someotherguy

Work out of my garage/driveway
Those flaps at the ends of the cowl, pretty sure those are torn off on both 06's, the one we still have and the one I sold. Found the loose ends of them down in the fenders IIRC. Rotted rubber, weighted, presumably to provide a little holding power for it to stay shut. Figured they had...- someotherguy

Gauge cluster replacement...no sure where to post.
Oh, for sure. On a lot of the electronics stuff, I'm tempted to give it a try. I have to credit my Pawpaw for starting me off with H.O.-scale model trains. He'd let me use his Craftsman soldering gun to make better connections for wires on my layout. My bed was a 4 poster in a small room...- someotherguy

After market steering wheel question
That looks like a race-only setup with a bare-bones replacement steering shaft and everything. I get it if the guy is going for functional but it looks more like a BS mix of "durr it's a race truk cuhhh" since it still has an otherwise full dashboard. Richard- someotherguy

Gauge cluster replacement...no sure where to post.
I can't help but tinker with almost every damn thing so I just broke out the tools. :) I've got them for numerous other reasons already, so why not. Etc., etc. in other words it just feels natural to me to whip out the soldering iron and go to town. That USA-made Weller unit has...- someotherguy
