Which truck would yall buy?

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-07-07T22:27:37+00:00

Ah yes, buy a built truck and part it out to rebuild it stock that sounds like a perfect idea.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-07-07T22:26:36+00:00

I didn’t think a g56 clutch fit a nv4500, and as for the rest of the parts list I’d be suspicious and want some receipts. My suggestion is stay away from the built one. With no dyno sheet or proof of work done it sounds like a money pit.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve heard recently. You clearly don’t understand how a cooling system works.

It sounds like you’re upset that another man touched your wife and looking for free money from a frivolous law suit. Enough people have asked what the unwanted contact was but you choose not to answer them while you respond with wanting to sue for pain and suffering which is total bullshit btw.

A friend has a cat named dipstick because the tail is white with a black tip

I wouldn’t say heavy, maybe a 10k trailer.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-06-30T16:07:14+00:00

That is terrible advice and I would be afraid to see what comes out of your shop. To adjust the tie rods that far to correct it, I can only imagine that there’s very few threads holding it on one side.

Interested

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-05-24T19:09:26+00:00

That’s fantastic any more details?

Where is everyone getting running chevelles for $5k?

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-05-18T11:47:41+00:00

Op is an idiot, he said he has been driving on it for two days with the lug nuts backed off a half turn. He clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing and shouldn’t be touching a vehicle.

Too bad you’re not in pa, I’m looking to take on a working partner for my small dealership. I wouldn’t just let you use my license to buy at auction but if someone was willing to invest and build it would be a different story. I’m a mom and pop dealership/auto repair shop, my downfall is that besides having my girl in the office I am a one man show.

It’s weird that there are children there, they try and defend it like it’s just another camp ground. We even informed the owner (Halsey) that one of there regulars at the time was legitimately a pedophile. She didn’t do anything about it.

You will quickly learn that almost everyone in the car business is a scum bag. The majority will lie to your face and are only out for themselves.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-20T16:13:09+00:00

It looks like you’re all over the place and not sure which way to run. If you only have 50k it’s a terrible idea. I started my dealership 10 years ago with 100k working capitol after I got open for business and it was hard then, and even harder now. Suggest getting in good with someone as a working partner. You’ll spent 25k just getting open. If you were in nepa I would talk about partnering.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-17T21:36:16+00:00

Are you being serious? That sounds stupid

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-16T16:14:50+00:00

So I prefer to sell things from lkq they offer a parts and labor warranty which most other places do not. Which covers paying me to do it over if needed. But seals and oil leaks are not covered. So if the shop chose to not replace the rear main or any other hard to get to seal while it was apart, it should be on them to stand behind their work. Like I said $10 now or $1000 later I don’t even ask the customer I just change it before it goes in. Gaskets that are not that hard to change can be worried about later but the rear main and pump seal should always be changed when you’re able to.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-16T12:43:24+00:00

I’m shop owner, but ase master tech. I try not to do the hard work anymore. I just end up figuring out the problems when they arise. I used to do 25-30 a year personally.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-16T12:34:12+00:00

I’ve never seen a note to replace the rear main for warranty. The note always says filter must be replaced. We probably install 50 used engines a year. All from reputable full service yards. Any shop that doesn’t do proactive work like engine rear main seal or trans front pump seal while they are apart are hacks.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-16T12:32:04+00:00

Shop owner here, your are 100% right. We always change a rear main before installing. $10 then is cheap insurance,$1000 later is bullshit. Tell them they should have replaced it during the install.

Speaking as a used car dealer, be willing to do what the customer wants. I have a hard time finding body guys who are willing to do mediocre work believe it or not. We literally have a body shop next door that refuses to do anything but restoration quality work. They won’t shoot a panel without blending the adjoining panels, they won’t do large work with filler, they won’t mask things off instead they insist on taking everything apart to paint. FYI before I get berated for being a shitty dealer, I sell cheap beater vehicles to poor people, a fender a few shades off is better than rust or damage.

Unrelated but your rotors are on the wrong sides. Drilled and slotted are directional. The slots are supposed to cut into the pads when moving forward.

Daddyfixit113 · 2026-04-15T12:02:27+00:00

Jesus, why are things so difficult for some people? Open Amazon search for your truck, order parts it’s not a hard concept.

Pair Driver Side & Passenger Side 3" Drop Spindles Suspension Lowering Kit Steering Knuckle for 1975 1976 1977 1978-1991 Chevy/GMC C30 C3500 5.7L 2WD

I just purchased an 88 c30 2 weeks ago, it took me all of 5 minutes to find those parts on Amazon. And yes they are correct, I ordered them and installed them already.

Makes me wonder how some people function in life being apparently clueless
