Go from aftermarket back to stock 6 CD? (Bose truck)
Doughty08 replied to someotherguy's topic in Radio/Electronics/Security
Are y'all saying I can wire in an aux to the stock 6 disk? -
Your front bumpstops should be a finger tip away from the lower control arm or around half an inch cause I know some of u got fat fingers. As for the camber I have had mine down on the stops before I dropped it properly and didn't have an issue aligning it at all and did it myself. There isn't a camber kit aside from the kit moog sells out that will give u more camber and the moog kit is just a thicker set of cams and bolts. We use them on every chevy we lift but that's so I can guarantee no slippage of the cams but do not help when aligning in any way. All that being said I would either by the keys and install them to get the preferred drop in the front your looking for or just buy a 2/4 kit and do it the right way the first time. Good luck brother

Typical engine tick became louder after oil change
Doughty08 replied to CaptKirk's topic in General SS
Sounds like an exhaust leak for sure, whatever it may be u have to take those step bars off that truck and compact them for safe keeping. -

Doughty08 replied to CaptKirk's topic in General SS
I just use a automotive stethoscope on each exhaust primary to isolate which cylinder. There roughly ten dollars at any parts store. -

Will the 2/4 kit fit an 02 single cab short bed 2wd? -
Std cab awd truck noise
Doughty08 replied to JHForman's topic in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech
What about the output shaft bearing in the transfer case? Shouldn't have but around an 1/8" of play in it. Just a thought is all -
Every pro charger I've installed has come with everything needed to turn key even the base systems.

The trailblazer bags come with trailblazer font ss, that's a sticker with the Silverado font that goes over the other emblem.

Dropping front diff
Doughty08 replied to darienms1986's topic in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech
I've rebuilt the units I've pulled myself. -
On Chevys look where the cams are on the inside and outside of each side of the upper control arm. You will see the cams themselves and there's a notch cut out for the cams to rotate on a dole pin. That dole pin is very sensitive and will break off if abused. Pretty confident that's what he's talking about but double check and see how many your missing. You will have to punch them out and replace them, pretty confident the Chevy house sells em but we just used some stock we had in the shop and works just fine. Good luck and keep us posted.

For the love of God! Stop posting pictures of these magnificent trucks smashed all to hell. I can't stomach it anymore.

Yea like the ole boy said previously, I lift trucks for a living and unless it's a simple leveling kit I have to cut the driver side rear lower control arm bracket in order for clearance of the differential. If u do decide to replace the pocket make sure you know the guy welding it knows what he's doing and that he doubles the reinforcement on both sides. Good luck brother and let us know how she turns out

Upper ball joint with no cotter pin? Lowered!
Doughty08 replied to mctwist77's topic in Suspension & Brakes
You will be fine bubba, I lift trucks for a living and don't come across a lot of factory ball joints using pins. As long as the nut is tight you won't have an issue of it backing itself off because of the wedge it creates when tightening. -
Looking into getting new head unit
Doughty08 replied to RockHead's topic in Radio/Electronics/Security
I've had a pioneer unit in mine for about six years and absolutely love everything about it. I'm no longer into "crushin the sidewalk" with my music so I have no need for all the bells and whistles u can get with a kenwood unit. For functionality and ease of use I would use a pioneer all day, but if ur looking to get everything dialed in just right and get the clearest sound possible from your head unit then kenwood or clarion. -
Congrats on a healthy son, great photo and what a better day to be born and named after the same man.

Get a second job!!!! Sharp ride and hope u give it to someone that will treat her as u did.

Yeeeppppp, we're getting into restoring cars in my shop and I'm lucky enough to have a guy that can color match and spray mine the right way. Just a matter of pulling it out and getting it to him. Hate how it just peels right off.
