    2000 Chevy Blazer Belt Tensioner

    Hey guys, I was replacing the alternator on my friend's blazer yesterday and accidentally sheared off the bolt holding on the belt tensioner. Part of the bolt is still in there and the tensioner itself still works, we were able to drive it home alright. Is there any way I can get that bolt out...

    Clicking From Front End

    I have a 98 (with PVH hubs up front). Two weeks ago I took it to the shop to have the brake pads changed and the rotor re-surfaced. I didn't have any problems with it until yesterday, I went down a really long dirt road with lots of potholes and when I got back on the main road, I got it up to...

    SAS Steering Box Questions

    So I've been doing a lot of research over the past couple of days on this, and while I know what the majority of people are using, I still don't know what I'm going to use for my SAS. I know a lot of people have asked before what box to use, but hopefully these questions will help me narrow it...

    Dana 35 knuckles on Dana 30

    Actually, why wouldn't it work? Sorry NMB2, just curious. I mean, they have the same size U-joint at the stub shaft. The ball joint mounting locations on the Dana-30 would have to be reamed to fit the dana 35 ball joints. Is there something else I'm not thinking of?

    Dana 35 knuckles on Dana 30

    I'm looking into doing an SAS sometime, right now still in the planning stages though. I have a Dana 30 that's already geared and has a locker in it, I would like to use that. I don't think I'll go for a Dana 44, for budget reasons and the fact that I have a Jeep Dana 30 just lying around...

    Airsoft BBs for Tire Balancing

    Ive heard of Dyna beads, the ceramic beads you can put in your tires to balance them. Unfortunately, I dont feel like paying for them. I know that airsoft bbs work well as a replacement, but they dont fit down the valve stem and i would have to take one of the beads off to put them in the tire...
