    breg's old gal

    Well it happened even when I wasn't expecting it. The old girl is gone. I have a new baby now. Well new to me. She's a 1988 S10 with a 400 small block and TH350. Lunati Voodoo cam, camelback heads with double springs, Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake with a 750 Holley and a mini spool in the...

    Life expectancy of Napa Fuel pump

    NAPA makes good stuff. Avoid Crapvance, Poopzone, O'Shiitys, etc at all costs.

    breg's old gal

    This is my old gal. She's 10 now, but she only has 95,700 miles on her. I just wanted to post a before picture since she's going to be getting a face lift and an altitude adjustment soon! Oh and ignore my neighbors house and car in the background.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Well after many holiday issues with the guy being out of town to me being out of town we finally got together. My wife was crying because,and I quote "It's like trading a child or family member." At first I just rolled my eyes, but then I took a long look at the old girl and she DID look sad...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    No from right here in Southport. I've been after the guy for 2 years to sell it to me. He called because he needs a truck for his business so we made a deal. Just a handshake for now but should be in stone when he gets back from vacation.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    I just agreed to trade my truck for a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500 today. Hot little 289 with a 3 speed. It needs paint but a solid car. :-)

    Why is my interior 2 tone?

    Is there any reason why the interior or my truck is 2 tone? The upper half of the truck is taupe?? and the rest is slate grey. The pillars and headliner, etc are this strange color and everything below is grey. I've always hated this. Anyone know where I can get replacement parts in grey to match?

    Giant Vanillaroma tree from a truck stop. But it can nearly gag you the first couple of days.

    AUTO to MANUAL?

    That many problems from multiple transmissions leads me to think that something is out of whack somewhere, or you're finding REALLY ****** transmission builders. Now if you really want to swap you could always try to find a donor truck with the manual. The getrag 238 6 speed behind some of the...

    Will an 02 engine fit on an 07?

    The only good thing about an engine swap is that if the truck is paid for it will still be paid for after the swap and be in a lot better shape. Not having that payment every month is nice.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Replaced my rear U joint when it started roaring this morning. What a pain in the ass. Ended up cutting the u joint in half so i could press the caps out because that thing was in there something serious. It had this plastic stuff around the caps that was like cement. Took FOREVER to pick all...

    Brake hop

    Myself I would just replace them if finances allowed. But I'm funny about brake components. However like was posted previously,check your tires for cupping as well. Also rotors shouldn't warp under normal braking. Oh I just thought about your calipers. If one is sticking that can cause the...

    Brake hop

    Most likely warped rotors if you aren't feeling any vibrations when normal driving. Not chiseled in stone but that would be my guess. I don't know how strong the stock rotors are as I had to replace my front rotors after having to dynamite the brakes at 75 mph to avoid Ms. Text and Drive...

    New stereo in

    Just got done shoving this into my dash. Used the Crutchfield install kit which included a whole new bezel and took no time. Sorry for quality. Potato phone camera.
