Re: My New Whip

I just replaced the driver door hinge bushings and it was harder than I expected. The detent spring is a SOB to get out even with the tool. Also, the new bushings are fragile and the pins need to be installed carefully rather than just tapped back in without perfect alignment. Pins prelubricated too.

The first time I did it I knocked the pins down with the hammer and busted one of the bushings. Back to O’Reilly I went and you can’t just buy one bushing. Worse yet you have to take both pins back out to replace the broken bushing and jack up the other bushings.

Anyone replace the front crank seal in the 4.3? I noticed that I have some oil leaking at the front of the engine. Going to try to figure it out but the main seal is apparently a common issue on this motor

New stereo is on the way!
