    Weird Lift Kit Issue-No Adjustment!!!

    Picture I attached is the key in the only position I can get it in without taking out a bit of droop. Currently it’s sitting on the half moon, bolt all the way out, and just a little off full droop. And it was all I could get to tighten the torsion bar enough to get the half moon in. I did a...

    So I just tossed a Fabtech K1045 RTS 6” lift in my friends ‘07 CCSB 4wd and I have an issue. The bolts are all the way out of the keys, and it’s only an inch from being at max droop when on the ground. I tried re-orienting the key but can’t get it on as it’s past its max and next position...

    Prices Still Unreal

    Been awhile since I looked at hard parts for an engine build and wow still ridiculously high and then some. When I did my Z build an LML crank was like 700 bucks. It’s 1900 from gm now. An LB7 was around 1200 and it’s 2100 now!! Granted that was 10 years ago but I didn’t think it would have...

    Back in an LBZ.... EFI live issue / question

    6698 is a late ‘06 early ‘07 OS. My ‘07 was a 6698. The 52616698 is the DSP5 version of the stock tune. When you full flash back to a single tune it will start with a 1 again.

    Replacing power steering lines LBZ. What are best manufacturer ? For the money. tks!

    Seeing as the output from the trans can see 220-230 degrees regularly I was considered about the regular hyd hoses holding up to the heat but seems you folks are seeing no issues. I have 270 degree hose available to me so I might make up a few kits for some friends.

    It’s a buddy of mine as I said so I got screamin good guy hourly rate. Plus I helped blow it apart and some of the reassembly. I bought all the iron, paint and consumables, and paid for the box liner and sandblasting myself so he didn’t have any overhead on the job. And also couldn’t add his...

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    Had to send the driver side fender back. Body guy didn’t like the gap. Hopefully new one fits better. Passenger was mint. Grill is painted. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Will see how it looks once I get the blue bow tie in it and the hood and fenders on. That bumper won’t be on it much...

    I ordered some Nilight brand headlights and markers. Will see how the light pattern is and if they are ok I’ll keep them. If not, try again with another brand.

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    Need some help with a headlight selection. I’ve looked at Anzo and alpharex and I’m not really sold on the look. I’m aware of the stock appearing options out there and have a Chinese set but the light pattern is not very good. Are there any out there that are close to the oem light pattern...
