    I am going to clean up the wiring under the hood near my battery. I have several accessories tied into my battery and I am not liking the look. I also have a new amplifier going in and I do not want to tie it directly into the battery. I purchased two bus bars (negative and positive) to help...

    Stripped starter bolt holes

    Mine are both of them. Got the starter off, I have plenty of space to run a tap. I am going to use a M10x1.5, here is my question, what size bolt would I use once I run the tap through? As in size I mean pitch, thread or whatever because I sure as hell don’t know. This is not my cup of tea but...

    Upper control arms question

    I was looking for some heavy-duty uppers for my lifted 4x4. I can find some, but they say 2wd only. But when i look at say rock-auto and some other parts places the stock control arm is listed for both 2 and 4wd. Am I missing something here or are they the same?

    Swapping in Skyjacker 5in soft ride leaf springs

    Back in June I replaced my tapered three-inch lift block that came with my Rough Country 5-inch lift for a one-inch block and a two inch add-a-leaf due to axel wrap and the fact that I hate lift blocks. This was a great upgrade, but it still was not as solid as I wanted plus my truck is still a...

    For you guys with factory fog lights.

    Mine did NOT come with them. I bought the lights and the correct bezels. Here is my silly question, On your factory installed lights is your adjustment screw (up and down setting) on the top or the bottom of your light? I have bought two different sets of replacement bezels and neither one fit...

    Has anyone installed AMP Research Powered Running Boards on their 04 3rd gen?

    Was advised that there was no plug and play adaptor for this series and that it had to be hard wired. Instructions are calling for the removal of the instrument cluster to obtain the grey wire/plug. Just seeing if someone has had to do this job Thanks.

    Lower T Stat question or concern

    I joined the the masses when I redone my engine and went with a 180 t-stat over the recommended factory one. I have only about 2 thousand miles so far and I intermittently get an bank 2 operating in lower level code. From what I I have gathered it’s the south end 02 sensor or lower sensor giving...

    Silly ass question but I got to ask

    Would a one inch block and a two inch add a leaf give you the same amount of lift as a three inch block? My reason is I believe that my 3 inch block is causing me some axle wrap and I was looking for some alternatives. I have ran both tapered that came with the lift and straight cut blocks...

    3 inch rear lift leaf springs ?

    I am looking to get away from my lift blocks that came with my rough country lift. I have a 35-41 mph vibration that will not go away.

    Is using the 180 t-stat really the right thing to do?

    I have a 180 t-stat and a flex a lite e-fan. And i did it because that's what I read was the best thing to do when I was building my truck. Just thinking a little today and wondering what I might be loosing by doing the change. I understand the plus side with the cooler temps and all but that's...
