    Steering Column - HA!, how hard can it be?

    Yes just take off the plastic piece, on top of column, off. It holds the loose wires together if I remember correctly. Then the bundle slides right down and then just reinstall the plastic piece. Youll see what I'm talking about when you crawl under there. It does help a lot to drop the...

    Spooky M101A2 camper build

    New wheels should be fine. It's the stud spacing that's critical. But Im not 100% positive. Someone will chime in soon for conformation. Looks like fresh paint on trailer. Unless your going for showroom finish, the CARC paint takes new paint very well.

    color interieur CUCVs

    Walk into any home or automotive paint store. You will see hundreds of samples of paint, that are called something COMPLETELY different than what color it actually looks like. GM did just that with the CUCVs. This topic has already been covered in depth. If you searched, instead of telling...

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    I had a heck of a time finding an electrical issue when first getting truck on road. Was a fusible link that "looked"perfect. Only when I physically felt and handled each one, did I discover the bad one. Electrical gremlins are sneaky.
