    Hydroboost brake conversion

    Excellent point. Im all about stimulating the underground, custom automotive industry economy. :) and drinking some beer in the garage while doing it. Do you think that his towing application and the rear disc conversion would work his HB harder or something? I dont know why he may have...

    Hydroboost brake conversion

    I appriciate what 95TT is saying here. But, at the same time, we know JP has a common medical condition named Upgradeotosis. While mostly only financially serious, it can be easily overcome, and some sufferers actually report of 'harnessing' this malady and converting into a way to stay in the...

    engine coolant problem

    you may notice it, but if it evaporates off the intake/engine you may not. Look at the firewall side of the intake for leaks. If your heater core was leaking, you maybe will see fluid on the floor of the passenger front seat ( where your feet go) I think intake is your best bet. how many...

    Removing inner door panel?

    yes, the procedure is the same for all the doors. handle bezel, switches and ( for the front) the triangle piece. there are 2 screws in the armrest. buy your self 2 bags of the GM panel fastners from the dealership. I think to redo the whole thing was 28 or 30 of them, I cant remember. mine...

    Off Topic I think. Stereo related though

    ouch. man i gotta go out there and measure my exact footage. both doors, and the floor and rear of the cab up to the windows. JK talked about some foam they sprayed up in their trucks, but I dont remember what it was called. I wonder if that stuff would fit the bill for me.

    Flashing Check Engine Light

    hahaha awesome. I agree here, cats could be the trouble, and the mysterious leak sounds like intake gasket. If your gasket IS giving way, consider yourself luck that ou got 140K out of it. Your problems are fixable however. its just gonna cost you parts and some time to replace it. not a bad...

    Off Topic I think. Stereo related though

    jute. I read about it on LMC I think.. they have both thermal insulation, and sound deading material. I guess I would like whatever is the best and takes care of both situations at once. I wont drive this truck in winter becuase I live in Rustconsin.. The stock stuff is all crumbly and half...
