    civy's are the same through 91. gm replacement to the military are the million mile ones you see on ebay. if you want one with a trip you'll need a civy and if you are careful you can put the miles where you want them. with the speedometer head in your hand you'll see two screws on the front...

    Instrument Cluster Questions

    milage is exempt after 10yrs on vehicle titles. what you do with your vehicle is up to you. no fraud intended. the odometer reading is easy to change on these trucks but it takes practice. lots of people want there's to start at 000 when they do a major restoration. thanks. mark

    1009 mystery issue

    be careful putting a new lift pump in, the rod that drives the pump can become dislodged and break when you tighten the pump bolts. i put some heavy grease on the rod to keep it from moving out. you can also turn the motor till its at the shortest point . thanks. good luck
