First off, I never said the caster was good to go - I said it wasn't adjustable by the alignment tech. Is it perfect? Of course not. Is it ideal? Still no. But, it is still positive, which is better than a lot of lifted 80s can say. Plus...
My set arrived. Pro quality and I doubt could have come close and it would have required me buying an A/C crimper. It will be a while before I install these as I am still working on the exhaust, which is a pain in the ass.
Passenger side is...
While I haven't started my swap yet, I ended up buying an 08 Escalade that drives.
I think your question is really dependent on resources. I have storage, a big trailer, and (soon) a garage workshop. My thought was I can scavenge everything I...
Good for you!
I've been running BFG 315/70R/17s for many a year.
If I may make a few suggestions:
8) Renew the brakes. I use Power stop CRK1154/1156. The bigger the tyres, the harder the stopping.
7) Renew the springs and shocks. I use OME...
Are people just using the stock LS water pump that came with their chosen LS motor?
I'm using an LY6 engine but as I've rebuilt it I wanted to put new accessories on it i.e water pump, tensioner & pulley,
and I'm probably going to go mechanical...
This is Ellie, the protector of my wiring harnesses. She was an abandoned feral kitten that my wife found under our cabin whe she was about 7 weeks old. She is my best buddy.
Playing with some ideas for keeping the truck a bit more unique. Had some scrap vinyl and added a simple stripe. Need to wrap the cowl cover still. I know it's not for everyone but I kinda dig it.

No sparklies in the oil…
All is well…
lifepo4 is a 'safe' chemistry versus li-ion. It will not 'catch fire'. The battery also has a BMS to protect from charging when the battery is too cold or too hot. The battery is operationally safe to 55C. I've never seen 60C in the front/battery...
1. Lifepo4 batteries should not be installed in the engine compartment. They are very sensitive to heat and might fail and even catch fire. I would recommend you to install both the lifepo4 battery and the DC2DC charger in the rear, getting power...
Well, a bunch of weekends and planning. Re-doing my dual battery setup to use a lifepo4 as the aux and that has entailed a bunch of planning and rethinking my existing solenoid based system (that has/had been working for the past 20+ years). The...
Swapped out one spot light for a driving light. Apparently finding the correct covers for these Hella 7" round lights is not as easy as we anticipated. Crickets from Hella and affiliated suppliers. So, protective yellow Laminex film it is!
I typically buy EBC Greenstuff pads for all of my vehicles, including the DD sedan, and the rotors are usually NAPA premium. This combo has worked out well for me.
No pics but I replaced the battery and positive terminal today and a much needed wash to get the few hundred miles of road salt of the 80 after a long hockey weekend
Did a driving and tuning, don't know of a 4 wheel dyno near me. I'm sure a dyno tune would get me more horsepower but it has plenty it is drivability I'm after. It still needs a little bit more tuning to get it spot on but I'm gonna drive it a...
