OFF Topic! Need help locating Chevy site.

I'm sorry but need help finding a Chevy site dealing with the whole vehicle, Honda also, just like this site. Does anyone have a neighbor that might know? I'm not insinuating you guys might know. Just asking.

Crap.com Sorry, couldn't help myself. Thanks Jim for a real answer. I actually have no idea. Same for Honda. I know a good Toyota forum, but again, no help with your request. Sorry.

LOL at Jim!
I have used the forum that Jim has mentioned. ALL the other forums I have "inquired"/tried to participate in are NOTHING like FTE! In this forum, people are genuine, timely and love the challenge of helping people.
FTE ROCKS!!!

Yeah, I really don't like those bow tie Izuzu's. Thanks for the help. What I have is a Suburban that I put some front end pieces on. The wife's Burb. Anyway a front end man that I always thought was ok, just expensive said he could not get enough adjustment as it is and he " had to slot the frame". I told him I had never heard of such a thing. My uncle, a Chevy man says he's on drugs. Now that I think about it it does sound crazy, that you have to use a grinding tool and slot the frame to get more adjustment. Is this for real? Or is the tech self medicating?

I forgot to mention, he wants $89.00 each side if he does it. He did say I could probably do it.

I don't know Brother! It sounds like the frame should never be "slotted" if the parts are right and nothing is bent, imo

I have a friend (local) that is a "Foad" man and good on front ends. He does not have a machine in his shop due to floor space. He used to take 'em up the street and use another shop, now he's simply too busy. All that to say, he's out of town for rest of the week and I can't ask him his opinion.

Ask another shop (anywhere in the states) how much they charge to "slot frames" on the front end. They will prolly say "doo Wha?

This is from IDI page. I did call a shop (with a bad rep) and the guy did not have a clue what I was talking about. The google idea gives me nothing, however this poster nailed the truck. It is a '95 4X4 1500? and I believe they told me the toe was in spec' but the print out just left as the wife drove away.(?)

Sorry it is a car. Civic V-6 I think. It's so small I have to fold in to it. It's quick when it's running right. I have caught myself thinking, "wonder if we could put a diesel in it?" Belongs to daughter #1.
