    Steering help

    Yeah I got those. At this point I think the Center link is mis built. When you mount to pitman arm it slopes heavily to the right side, resulting in the idler being way way too low. I’ll likely need a replacement

    Is there anyone doing the VIN searches anymore?

    I was told that they may “colour” over the black paint. Maybe it isn’t them and is some reseller, no idea. But someone covered them in a nasty black that I can’t strip. And then crappy tan on top.

    Is there anyone doing the VIN searches anymore?

    Thanks, it’s out at a tv filming at the moment so when it’s home maybe I’ll try sanding again. Paint has been on several years. Will I be allowed as I am Canadian? i think I’d need DLA as it’s Army?

    Is there anyone doing the VIN searches anymore?

    Looking to get deployment and usage history of my truck. I’ve read past threads and seems like possibly both guys who were , don’t do it anymore. I don’t want to be the dick who PMs them against their wishes. I would even pay for said service if it exists. Thanks guys

I had wondered why so low, no sign of a leak, I’ve been watching and finally after a few weeks and a decent 45 min drive, I have signs of a leak, looks like the seam were the...

    Transfer case oil

    Just like dexos engine oil, anyone can certify as dexos, but has to pay a licensing fee to GM, Dexron is the same. And they won’t sell that certification anymore, GM should recognize the classics market and market a Dexron 3 themselves. People would buy it haha

    Transfer case oil

    yes, that was my point. Anything will be an equivalent. Which is what I used. If she blows up she blows up, there’s clean old formula ATF in it, haha. thanks for the replies guys, I’m finding this to be a great active forum,

    Transfer case oil

    i guess my concern is that, GM no longer licenses Dexron 3, so everything is technically an equivalent. I guess at that point I just need to trust the brand I choose,
