Re: lower ball joints - why so bad? I would maintain most people are unfamilar with how to check them, they see some play and deduce the lower joints are worn and need to be replaced. http://autos.yahoo.com/maintain/repairqa/steering_suspension/ques109_1.html Having been recently bit by this...

This started off as a “What Did You Do To Your SyTy Today” post, but it turned out so long that a new one is in order. Last September I lost a front tire at speed on the way to work. When the carnage subsided, the carcass had shredded the right rocker panel & ripped the right front flare almost...

Here are a couple of lingering questions that have may have been discussed, but I haven’t found the answers by searching the forums. First – Why is it that everyone uses the Jeep steering shaft and not the F-150 shaft as recommended by JTR? People have been using the Jeep units over on the...

Re: proportioning valve Re: proportioning valve Try this: http://web.archive.org/web/20020420211829/http://www.b-body.net/Technical/Brakes/ComboValveMod/bolt.html Concept is the same, this method avoids having to countersink the top by installing a SHCS from the backside. - J

Re: proportioning valve Re: proportioning valve Yes - the change was implemented between '93 & '94 according to this: http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=244367 We have also performed this mod by tapping the existing hole with a 6-32 thread and countersinking the face...

Re: This Blazer corners! I know this truck. Met the owner a couple years back when one of the NH clubs was having an autocross @ Story Land. Saw the truck from across the parking lot and immediately had to look closer. Real nice guy to talk to, spent most of an hour looking it over and talking...

Re: Troubleshooting white smoke This sounds familiar. Everything previously posted is true, but there is another possibility. White smoke can also be unburned fuel from a stuck injector (some) or split pressure regulator diaphragm (lots). This may explain your intermittent idle stumble. I've...

Re: Things a new SyTy owner should know and do Relying solely on RPO codes to verify a particular configuration is a risky proposition because there are often individual features that are included as part of a higher level option. To put it into terms that some might better understand - AFAIK...

Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo Nothing to be sorry about, this stuff isn't always intuitive and Baer isn't going to tell you what the OEM application is if they don't have to. Perhaps this will help: LT1 rear calipers use a D413 pad. LS1 rear...

Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo Your probably not going to like this, but the rears look like LS1's cut directly off the car at the axle tubes. http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246855 As far as your front calipers - they are not...

Re: Black Silicone Vacuum Line Kit Should be this one: http://www.rev-in.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1 - J

Hello, I have a new-in-the-box silicone vacuum kit in black that I purchased during the last GP and ended up not needing. Turns out that my lines were in far better shape than I expected and many of the driveability issues were the result of the factory cal and largely rectifed by implementing...

Re: Throttle Body "Swaged" is the term you were looking for. Here is a link that shows the TB linkage w/o the bracket installed. http://www.oem-surplus.com/gmwp/picpages/tbi2618.html While it can be done, it would be quite a bit trouble to accomplish and still retain the throttle stop and...

Re: Pulled the heads WTF pics* 020 on the #2 piston should be a clue to what it is. Also, the larger valve reliefs and dish chamfer do not match other posted pics of stock engines. Looks like there may have been a hot spot/burn @ 9 o'clock on #4, which would explain a pinched ring land. - J
