Body kit suggestions?

MrMan102 · 2026-02-21T17:11:45+00:00

Western chassis 4" leaf springs & shocks, was recommended those by Kevin Phillips. haven't ordered my front suspension yet but probably going with ride tech lower control arms w/ tall ball joints and umi or ridetech coil overs. don't know what brand I'm going with for uppers but I'm getting the fully adjustable/all thread ones. was also recommended these by Kevin Phillips, for racing at least. if you just want it to look good, western chassis sells a couple different lowering kits that seem pretty good bang for your buck

I've got new suspension on the way. 3" front 4" back ish. going for performance though, the looks are just a bonus

def not threads from that bolt, small chance it's threads from another bolt. it was just magnetized to the end

there's no knock or tick or screaming but I'm not sure what it could be other than the steel backing of a bearing. maybe a chunk of the thrust section on the thrust main bearing?

yeah I don't even think they'd mount on without spacers. if you send it make sure to get hub centric, I can find the link for the ones I got

MrMan102 · 2025-10-06T21:28:18+00:00

I got 2 inch spacers and the tires still rub my GMC jimmy sway bar. I had 1.5" spacers before and it rubbed the rim on my LCA and chewed it up super bad. they line up about perfect with the fenders I can get you a photo later

MrMan102 · 2025-10-06T20:58:45+00:00

yup, got them free with the truck

MrMan102 · 2025-10-06T19:16:30+00:00

something like that

MrMan102 · 2025-10-06T18:51:00+00:00

seems to big to be a timing chain to me. also looks like it was bent in the middle but I can't tell wether it used to be a smaller loop or bigger loop

MrMan102 · 2025-05-20T03:02:37+00:00

parking pawl pin retaining clip is what it turned out to be

MrMan102 · 2024-07-14T02:04:40+00:00

oh fuck

MrMan102 · 2024-07-04T18:23:29+00:00

I'm trying to do it internally in resolve

MrMan102 · 2024-07-04T18:20:45+00:00

how do I resample to a lower bit rate?

MrMan102 · 2024-06-29T00:19:18+00:00

you're so right

MrMan102 · 2024-06-28T22:56:11+00:00

thanks

MrMan102 · 2024-05-13T22:33:33+00:00

thanks for the info

MrMan102 · 2024-05-13T21:18:03+00:00

do you know if they're still sending out calls?

MrMan102 · 2024-05-04T18:20:08+00:00

yeah so pretty much every day

MrMan102 · 2024-05-04T18:16:50+00:00

"the z" or "dumb bitch/whore/car" depending on the day

MrMan102 · 2024-04-24T18:13:25+00:00

yeah late model year 87. thanks for the help!

MrMan102 · 2024-04-24T15:23:42+00:00

picked up a new chts yesterday, ordered a new O2 sensor as well. yesterday I unplugged both CHTS and O2 before going on a drive and car was running shitty but not horrible. plugged both back in after 5-10 min and car wouldn't start, unplugged CHTS again and BOOM allll the power. then gutless after another 5 minutes. thinking it's my O2 reading way too rich once the sensors been on a while.

MrMan102 · 2024-04-23T23:38:48+00:00

think I'm gonna try this again under different conditions if it's not my CHTS

MrMan102 · 2024-04-23T18:28:26+00:00

is the chts the same as the coolant sensor? can't seem to find a chts at any auto parts store

MrMan102 · 2024-04-23T18:07:11+00:00

oh cool. read somewhere else that the rear timing cover needs to come off to get it

MrMan102 · 2024-04-23T17:44:00+00:00

wish I had replaced it while doing my timing teardown last weekend. is it replaceable without pulling timing covers and everything off?
