    M1009 lift job

    Tranny cooler for sure! I bought a Derale cooler for $65 and use it exclusively (eliminating the OEM cooler that is internal to the radiator). It runs - according to the trans temp gauge - at LEAST 50 degrees cooler this way. I guess not having to compete with engine coolant is the key.

    M1009 lift job

    I paid $50 for the Pro-Comp blocks. Found them online. Easy... Shackle flip is good too. Pick your poison! :grd:

    M1009 lift job

    I should note that the 5 1/2" rear blocks I picked up were used with a Skyjacker 4" suspension kit and I used them to replace the 4" rear blocks that came with the kit. The new rear blocks came with new/longer u-bolts.

    M1009 lift job

    Has anyone had any issues with stock GM rear spring sag? I did and ended up with two options - replace rear springs or go with a set of 5 1/2" rear blocks. I chose the latter and it was PERFECT. Gave me just a little additional rear height (plus compensation for the sag) and it is PERFECTLY...

    Hand Crank Deuce

    I can tell you from experience (I have a 1931 Ford Model A truck) that you ALWAYS PULL UP on the hand crank and NEVER PUSH DOWN because when you do - that is precisely the time it backfires and sends you to the ER. If you are pulling UP and it backfires, the worst that happens is that the crank...

    NO TITLE with either package A topic I will inquire about with the VT DMV tomorrow I see this playing out one of several ways... 1. I lose $$$ 2. I have to spend MORE $$$ 3. I lose AND have to spend more $$$ Maybe I am wrong. I hope so.

    YES - with only a partial VIN that ITS apparently submitted It appears that they only gave the first eight characters

    I believe that because ITS screwed the pooch on my VIN that the only logical choice is for me to keep the one I submitted CORRECTLY!! I'm still in disbelief. I need to call VT DMV tomorrow and ask them how to proceed. The other thing that has me shaking my head is the NEVADA postage and...

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    AND - the combined outlay of CASH at this point for this mess is $866 ($485 for ITS and $381 for dealing direct with VT DMV) This is GOOD and BAD BAD = I now have to UNSCREW WHAT ITS HAS DONE and seek restitution somehow GOOD = I proved that anyone can do it themselves in NO TIME AT ALL!!!!

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    Yeah, with six months of NOTHING, I don't expect a lot at this point. If it turns out that he finally does deliver - it doesn't end there because I still have to try and kill the title application I sent separately to VT and still have to get with the WV DMV to see what pitfalls await me...

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    One thing I should point out, even though it has been alluded to before... With ITS you DO NOT GET A TITLE. At least not in this case. When he said I had 'plates and registration' on the way - I asked about the title. He said "You take what you are being sent and THEN go to your local DMV and...

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    Thanks Brent The issue was that I searched the forum for all the posts with ITS references in them and pretty much made the same post in each (something like 20 other threads) telling folks to read this thread before they sent their money to ITS. While it was not intended as a smear tactic -...

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    Since so many have suggested it, I filed a Mail Fraud Complaint with the USPS Postal Inspectors Office. At this point, I'll take any assistance I can get to put pressure on this guy to refund my money. The guy that runs ITS - his name is JOE HOLMES - according to some documents that I found...

    Thanks for your support Rick ----------------------------------------- To recap: Plan A was to use International Title Service. This hasn't panned out as planned so I took it upon myself to work through Vermont myself (Plan B). VT DMV should receive my title application package today - so...
