alright dont flame me for asking this as it might be a stupid question. is there any reason you couldnt put a slight bend in a tie rod being the tie rod is aftermarket, heims on the ends and made of 1 1/4 dom. im trying to get a better angle on the heims. i have high steer but stock pitman arm...

Hey guys my frame has some minimal surface rust in areas, nothing too bad but id like to clean it up and paint it. What would be my best bet as far as paint? Por15 has to have rust to bond properly so id rather not use that since I would prefer to wheel the whole thing first. Self etching primer...

hey guys ive got a 1990 sierra 1500 2wd. for the last 3 weeks my rear running lights havent been coming on with either my parking lights or my headlights :icon_confused: then last night i jumped in the truck and flipped the headlight switch and now my headlights wont turn on and the only thing...

What's everyone running for front leafs on their sas? I've got a FW 44 in the front with a 302 above it and I need to find a short leaf (51-53") eye to eye that is stiff enough to keep positive arc. Dummy me tried cherokee rears and they're way too flimsy, the top leaf, the one with the eye in...

is it possible to grind/cut down the cast on wedges and convert the acle to leaf?

I just picked up a 78 bronco d44 that was coil sprung. Id like to make it leaf sprung under my ranger and im curious who's done this and how you got rid of the wedges and what it looks like after the leaf perches are on. There's a lot of metal to be ground off there and im curious how its gonna...

I put a c6 behind a 302 in my 91 that used to be a stick, how do I overide the clutch switch so the clutch doesn't have to be depressed to start the truck? Thanks!

im having the WORST time getting my 302 distributor to sit back in. ive had it in all the way one time and it took some rolling on the engine stand and a buddy to help lol. problem is i had to take it back out to put the heater hose fitting in the intake since it is right up next to the dist. i...

so does a 1356 on a c6 trans not fit in a ranger? or do you just have to mount the tcase so it faces further down then normal? mine hits the frame rail when i try to put it in and the trans is where it is supposed to be.

I've read about the ceramic beads for big tires, I've also heard you can use the little airsoft bb's as an alternative. Anybody ever done this? Airsoft bb's I can get locally cheap, if I did the ceramic ones they'd be 60 bucks. I looked up my tire size on the ceramic bb site 35x12.5x15 and it...

Ill be doing the same thing shortly so im all ears also.

I just picked up an early bronco set of axles, was there another axle besides the d44 that went in the front of the eb's? Just checkin to see if its a d44 or something else. Im putting these into my 91, do I need to get a new master cylinder since the fronts are dum breaks? Or can I get a...

would it be possible to run a c6 on my 302? as i understand it i need a new yoke. and more than likely have to have the driveshaft modded. but what else? would my trans mount still work? and i know ill have to move the crossmember which isnt a big deal since i have the suicide doors aftermarket...

how does the clutch line detatch from the trans in a 91 2.3? i cant get it to come apart. thanks

dont flame me for this guys, i need to know which wire to tap into on my light switch so that my tach backlight will turn on when i turn on the lights.... im not really sure which one to use and ive looked around for wiring diagrams and cant find anything. i have a 91 thank you!
