Just R&R the cylinder. The ignition doesn't match the door locks, so it's no big deal. They're like ten bucks.

Hope your transmission's done and running great. Nice work on the bumper. I could definitely go for a front receiver hitch and winch mount, but how's the approach angle?

I live in a sandbox. Cats crap in sandboxes. I live in a cat box. I often forget this. I was reminded of this today. Face first. Immediately lost interest in my motor mounts. Another time.

Old barn's got more amps than my house.

Hey, thanks! No wonder I never missed it. Glad to know I don't need to worry about it.

Yeah, I'm bummed too. I was just starting to think about a GEP because of this build. Hopefully something can be worked out with the vendor.

765R4 sounds sweet. I had to look it up. Check that pinned thread on CUCV hot rodding before hooking up the kickdown cable, and PM sent!

Turned out I couldn't find any at all except for a guy on eBay sitting on a pile of surplus NOS and asking $300 apiece. At that price, I got into my junk box, pulled one off a seized DB2, and tried it out. Worked great, and I liked the price a lot better.

What's the news? They better warranty that thing out at 3500 miles.

Was really looking forward to how cheap parts would be on a truck that has had overstock sitting on shelves for decades all over the world. Also, in case anybody wondered, the black plastic vacuum doodad on the side of your injector pump is GM #14057219 aka NSN #4820-01-158-6836. Nobody is...

Did the rear springs today. Nuts and bolts are 7/8" and 13/16". U-bolt nuts are 15/16". Reused the original hardware because it was fine. Finally replaced the last shock. I was stalling on it because I didn't want to drop the tank, but we just cut the bolt off this morning. Suspension is all...

Decided to skip working on the truck this morning and took it out instead. Had it in 4L a couple times and found that it's perfectly comfortable doing things that I'm not. At a trail washout, there was a spot with broken glass and bumpers lying on the ground. Some people really tore their...

This morning I went to R&R the last bushing on the front springs. Passenger side shackle top. Started tapping it out and found that it backs into the bank 2 exhaust. Looked up at those three nuts on the collector. Thought about how they've heat cycled a thousand times and rust has been...

That was my first thought. Those things are spendy, so it's a nice bonus if that's the case.

I sprayed that catalyzed stuff with isocyanate in it all day every day, cigarette hanging out of my mouth half the time, and I lived to regret it. If your exposure isn't occupational, you'll probably be fine. You could say I'm biased.

Can someone post a photograph of the 6.2 starter support bracket correctly installed? I think mine is missing.

I hadn't seen cans like that in 20 years, man. Hope you wore respirators. Stuff is not good for you.

At 40 years of age, I'd say the OEM bushings looked pretty good. The brakes were squealing, so I replaced the pads. Still squealing. I guess you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

I actually hadn't installed the upper shackle bushings on the front end, so I set about that this morning. Had spent some time looking around online for any example I could find of how it's done, since I don't know what I don't know and that's a good way to find out. No luck, so here's my...

Did it rain last night? That's the only thing that comes to mind when I think of spontaneous electrical system changes in parked vehicles.
