He measured and said that the rails are 69 inches center-to-center. Sounds like it's a no go.

Exterior • Another Possible PlastiDip Use?

2012-05-28T21:59:55+00:00

I was just curious if it would be another use for it.
If you have a problem with it then don't click the threads that say it.. Duh.
And what's the coating called? Idk of any of the cheap auto stores around here have it. There's like a total 2 in the county..

Vortec 6000 6.0L V8 • P1516 Reduced Engine Power

2012-05-28T21:59:12+00:00

This one handle stumped guys. Thinking of taking to my mechanic. Normally If I can't figure it out I bring it to him and then I go Fix if myself going by what he tells me. I just can't seem to grasp this one. It's so random but when it does it, it does it all the time. Then I can go a few days sometimes without any issues....

Prick. That is all.

Total cost with painting and parts was just a hair over $500.00
Probably more than I should have spent, but the jump seats with top and bottom compartments are going for over $450.00 on ebay. I like the aesthetic look of the console a lot better.

Electrical • Fuse Block Accessory Terminal Problem

2012-05-28T21:00:31+00:00

I have a 2010 GMC Sierra. Does anyone know if the accessory terminal which sits just outside of the fuse block (under the hood on the drivers side) has a fuse that is tied to it? I was adding a pair of driving lights to my truck and connected the power to it and accidentally hit another piece of metal with the wrench. Now I have no power to the terminal and I cannot figure out how to correct this. My existing accessory's which worked before are also dead now. Thanks in advanced.

I dont think they will work. One way you can check is pull up the part numbers from any mfg, like bushwacker. if the part number for '04 and '11 are the same your good to go.

Quick question...

Local guy on CL is selling a set of bed rails off a 2004 Silverado Crew Cab short box. I have a 2011 Silverado Crew Cab Short Box...will these fit? My holes are approximately 58 inches center to center...not sure about the 2004's.

Am I reading this right? You guys are adamant about MOOG parts, correct? They're about half of what Tires Plus wanted to charge me for parts... weird. MOOG has both the idler and pitman arm for $120 each, and Tires Plus wanted $400 for both. I'll definitely have a reputable shop look at the front end first, just to make sure these morons weren't trying to rip me off.

MOOG is tops when it comes to a Steering linkage and Assembly. All shops have quota's. so yes, in a sense that are trying to rip you off. People need business and prey on the less knowledgeable, (no pun intended because we all learn and no one person knows all).

When you are looking for a shop ask:

What are your hourly rates?
You want to know if you can afford them as well as get good work done. Pricey shops can go both ways. Look around to see how happy or upset a other customers are.

How busy are you?
Ask because busy shops can have good turnaround time and they get good recommendations from their customers.

What brand of replacement parts do you recommend?
The trick question, because anyone that is any good (Pitman Arm & Idler) will know MOOG is tops. They will usually recommend MOOG and two other brands that will do the job, but they would rather use MOOG. If they recommend OEM, even better, but MOOG is just as good.
