    luckily I checked my emails and seen this notification. They have held up like a champ for over 3 years now. They do show signs of surface rust but not much I can do about that. They’ve held up to my 12v Cummins swap no problem!

    Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, I have some questions and was just curious if anyone had similar issues. I have a 1992 M998 with a 12v Cummins swap and 4L80E. Love this beast. 1.) I have noticed that my fuel gauge is off... as in, when it reads "E" I can only put 12 gallons of Diesel...

    Replacing the CV Axles

    So I started to replace the front CV axles and watched a few videos before hand. Got the tank lifted and removed the passenger tire. Removed the cap, then the bolt, then made my way under the tank. Started to remove the bolts from the rotor but was unable to get them to budge... I also noticed...

    Well boys we got her home Tuesday! The only issue is the above mentioned boot and the gentleman was kind enough to give me a new half shaft (Will the H1 half shaft work?)
