    Hissing from the Cadillac valve

    It’s normal. An insulator between the valve and mount will suppress the noise. I’ve run a Fernco sleeve of the appropriate ID in the past with good results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camber/Alignment

    Custom made adjustable upper A arms is the most typical aftermarket handling of this issue I’ve seen. XHP has these for a modest fee [emoji2357] https://xhp.parts/product/billet-upper-control-arms-for-hummer/ Prior comments on half shaft angularity stand. If you want to correct both and lift...

    Trying panel plugs for armor hole fill. Like that they are readily available and non ferrous. I may go to bolts with nylon shoulder washers in the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fan Clutch

    TM covers this well if read carefully. You may need to apply hydraulic or pneumatic pressure to the clutch fitting to allow movement for bolt to hole alignment. I had to apply approximately 100psi to release it to align. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front toe adjustment after replacing TRE, lower ball joints, Pittman arm, idler arm and rebuilding steering gear. I was within 1/4” visually before adjustment [emoji123]. Made some slip/turn plates which helped immensely. Toe set at 0 +\- 1/4” with my lack of accuracy. I’ll likely use the full...

    Installing new radiator core

    I’m in a similar position with an ECV radiator that needs a core. Best to have a shop do it or just pay $$$ for a whole replacement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
