Just wanted to say hello. I've been over at the Pac-Audio forum for a while and started at FSC a couple months ago. Just want to expand to more forums to get info andmaybe help out a time or to. Check out my pics and sign the guest books. Let me know what you think. I am starting to work on a web site so I'll be asking for some help there.  :thumbs:  BTW, I got a set of Hamms' on the way :D

3" front / 4" rear with drop springs in front and shackles and hangers out back. Got it from AIM Industries. I ordered a 2/4 drop but got a 3/4 and said what the hell. I like it better.

welcome,

 

first off nce looking truck  :thumbs:, and do u have any more to that battery story? I have always used ac delco batteries (the high end after maket series) in my other cars/trucks based on personal experience and a verry good rating from consumer reports

 

I just asumed the factory ac delco would also be as reliable looks lik I am mistaken, it this a one time thing? or is mine likely to overboil/leak also? :( it is a shame to see that much corrosion on a brand new truck  :D

Glad to see you made it over Fast4.8. Seen some of your posts on the other forums and look forward to seeing your posts here.

 

If you made it back to check this thread, got a couple of questions.

 

- You had the leaking delco problem. What can you tell us about it? Was it just an inferior product or some electrical/alternator problem (overcharging) or because of the stereo mods in some way?

 

- Outstanding idea you had for relocating the jack. Have you relocated the other hardware yet?

??? just got his in the mail this morning then the post was not here???

 

 

On some of the other forums I have heard about this problem. Most of them are in the new body and

leaking out of the + battery post. Just thought I would take a closer look one day and there it

was. I dont know if it has anything to do with the stereo or what. Everything was tight at the

connection and it started leaking worse after I took it out. I have not had problems w/ AC in the past.

This is the one people are talking about. I dont remember the exact model and I have allready sent

it to recycle.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
