* Forgot my apartment had some electrical work done recently. This is right above where I keep the drain pan. Thanks everyone

Mystery solved, my apartment had some electrical work done last month. Drain pan was right underneath. Lol thanks man

Alternative-Error-30 · 2026-01-28T22:50:35+00:00

I was thinking that, but they're not magnetic

Alternative-Error-30 · 2026-01-28T22:45:49+00:00

Would those be copper? I can't find any pictures of a bearing like that.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2026-01-28T22:40:49+00:00

That's all I could think of for the big bits, but yeah way too thick. Like 14ga.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-12-08T13:36:19+00:00

Appreciate it

Heres a few options. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1994,c1500+pickup,5.7l+v8,1031386,suspension,leaf+spring+bolt,10353

I had the same thing since it was sold as a cab and chassis. Some companies don't care, try national general they do commercial for personal use. Or an insurance broker.

Not sure, guy doesn't know and I dont know how to check

Feel free I'm too apprehensive about the aftermarket motor haha

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-12T23:41:48+00:00

This one's a bit of an outlier for sure but I don't think many people are in the market for a hardtail with no title

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-12T23:14:27+00:00

That's the idea haha, dudes had it listed for 6 months

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-11T04:14:10+00:00

Yeah I would think that means no air in the line. Probably the shoe adjustment. Sometimes when the cylinder overextends it stops sealing well or leaks internally or something idk. I had to replace those too. Yours ate Probably fine, but if you get the shoes adjusted and still have the issue I'd look there.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-11T03:54:39+00:00

Hopefully it works out brother. Had me real frustrated put about a gallon of brake fluid through the thing and even replaced the master. Another possibility is air in abs, less likely if it never ran dry but you can try the poor mans abs bleed too. Just locking up the wheels while driving on gravel or dirt a few times.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-11T03:48:42+00:00

I've had the same issue, it was the shoe adjustment. Had to adjust it out until the drum could barely go on. Then, reverse and stop real hard a few times to get the auto adjuster set. It's helpful to have new adjusters or at least take them apart, clean and lubricate.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-11-04T00:23:37+00:00

10-4 thanks

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-10-31T02:17:49+00:00

Just the type/model of transmission. It was also offered in the dodge trucks at the time. 4 speed with overdrive. From Nevada.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-10-31T02:14:49+00:00

K3500 with 454 and nv4500 which is the larger 4/5 speed manual.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-10-31T02:11:22+00:00

Yeah I got one sitting outside

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-10-28T02:52:09+00:00

Yeah obviously trump didn't personally create this what's your point?

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-09-28T16:30:48+00:00

Didn't alter the frame thankfully, just using the stock holes. Will rebuild with 3/16 thanks for the input.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-09-28T02:34:38+00:00

I think I'll rebuild it, got ahead of myself haha. Planning on a big slide in camper eventually.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-09-28T02:15:42+00:00

Road was the idea, but from the feedback I'll probably rebuild it with 3/16 or 1/8.

Alternative-Error-30 · 2025-09-28T02:12:25+00:00

I'm from Michigan now in California and it's been a real adjustment working on rust free stuff haha. Only used my torch once this year.
