    Blown plenum gasket again

    Ok guys, haven't been around in a while. Working two jobs now. Anyway, I blew the damn plenum gasket again. I've got a modded stock manifold with the stock plate. Can't really afford to buy the plate at the moment. I've heard that the plate isn't necessarily needed. So if that is the case, which...

    If it ain't one thing...

    So, went to the store. Everything worked perfect as it usually does. Go to leave store, put in reverse, can feel as if it's trying to move, but doesn't get anywhere. Shift from park to drive once or twice, then back to reverse, and it will start moving. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Reducing camber

    So I've been hearing a lot of people saying I need to lengthen the pivot slots to help reduce camber, but after reading up on the subject it says that one slot is for camber and the other is for caster. So when lengthening the slots, do I lengthen both, or just one? Sent from my...

    Intermittent rpm

    Just noticed this today. Heading home, while under light acceleration, my rpms would drop by 50-100rpm at a time per every 200 rpm or so I gained. Took off od and floored it, went from 3rd to 2nd, but didn't climb too good. Any time it goes from 2nd to 1st under hard acceleration it climbs good...

    I've got three 12" kicker comp subs, 6000 watt Memphis audio amp, 4 6.5" JL audio component speakers in a box on top of the subs, and two 6x9" JL audio door speakers. A couple interior neons, a street glow kit, and a bunch of other stuff all running on my battery. Stop and go traffic is really...

    A/C

    When I switch between defrost and face vents I hear something move around when the air starts blowing. Almost as if something is being pushed into something by the air. My question is, do I have to take the entire dash apart to get to the vent tubing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Moog problem solvers

    Has anyone heard of these ball joints? They're the line Moog offers that is adjustable up to 1 3/4 degrees of +/-camber. If so, has anyone here used them that can offer any kind of feedback? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Led help

    Ok guys, I must not know how to use sbl website or something, because I can't find anything for my dash. Can somebody please help me find the lights for my gauge cluster, climate control and headlight selector? I'd really really appreciate it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Check valve question

    This is on the passenger side of the intake manifold. is the piece connected to the 90 that is coming off the manifold a check valve? If so, should air travel freely through both sides? If not which way is the air supposed to flow? I'm thinking it is a check valve, and the air should be flowing...

    Worsening wobble

    While pulling in/out of parking spaces, making sharp left turns I get a hard wobble coming from the passenger side front tire. All the front components are new except pitman and idler arm. First thought was wheel bearing, but no sound or vibration are present. The problem isn't noticeable any...

    Gotsa question.

    Ok. So when I turn the knob to switch between face vents defrost and so on, where does the signal go? My a/c is blowing out all vents and I have to fix it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Led bulbs

    So I've been reading about those of you who have swapped to led powered headlights. What kits are you running, and what all do I need to go this route?

    Severe turning issue!

    Back yet again in need of more help and advise. So, while in the middle of slow sharp left turns, it feels like the whole hub assembly is about to fall off! it even makes the truck wobble throughout the sharpest point of the turn. Haven't noticed any shakes in the steering wheel, steering is...

    A/C question

    Not really a problem or a concern, but does anyone else have a problem with equal airflow out of their vents? My driver side vent by my door blows just fine, but each vent moving to the passenger side as less air flowing than the previous one. On max the driver side vet by the door blows prefect...

    wanting to know it I should be worried

    So the last lights on my instrument cluster to go off after startup are my airbag and seat belt light. But the last few times I've started it, my abs and brake light stay on for a second then go out. I don't know if this is telling me something or if I'm just paranoid.

    Paint help

    Does anyone know of a company that sells spray cans that are factory color matches? I'm having a hard time finding anything. I can find plum purples all day but nothing that resembles the color of my truck. It's the factory color. Just rare I guess.

    Help..

    Ok. So I bought that vht niteshade stuff and tinted my tails. Came out pretty good. Also bought some replacement led lights to replace the stock bulbs to compensate for the darker lenses. However now when I hit my blinker it's like I put the flashers on. Do I need to wire in a capacitor or...

    Boxes on passenger side on frame.

    What are these two boxes? One looks like a canister of some sort, the other looks like some type of box or case. Might be the dumbest question ever, but entertain my stupidity please.

    Need a part number

    Hey guys, I'm looking for the intermediate steering shaft for my truck. 1999 2wd 1500. If anybody can find me a part number it would be a great help. All I can find is the one for a 98.

    Clunk is driving me to drink!

    Ok. When taking off from a stop or stopping in general I hear/feel a hard ass clunk from the front driver side of the suspension. I've checked and changed most everything. Ball joints tie rods hun bearing, everything. What else could be causing this? Pitman arm? Steering shaft? Gearbox? I...

    Lost power

    Ok, so I was at a light coming home for lunch. Light turned green, I floored it. Instead of throwing into my seat like she normally does, she bogged down horribly, choked a bit, backfired, then took off like the beast se normally is. No CEL, no anything. I'm guessing cat clogging, but not sure...

    Wobble while slowing

    Ok so I can't pinpoint the exact time I noticed this problem, but what's happening is just before coming to a complete stop while braking, my front end wobbles from side to side. All new parts were recently installed. Upper/lower ball joints and inner/outer tie rod ends. This obviously corrected...

    Odd sounds

    As the title states, I started noticing an odd sound coming from somewhere in the upper engine bay. It's only heard under mild and hard acceleration. Around the same time I noticed the sound, I had a slight loss of low end power, burns far more gas, and doesn't seem to downshift properly. Kinda...
