GM factory manuals say to check rotational resistance with a beam torque wrench or similiar, then when putting back together exceed the previous by 1-5 inch pounds, it's worked for me so far, but I've only ever touched 2 axles. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Two things will set the warning light, parking brake and tripped proportion valve. Typically a good hard stomp will reset it, if not, and depends on which way it tripped, then there is a rubber boot on one end and a pin that sometimes can reset-sometimes it doesn't because the valve is bad.

What carb is that? Great work so far. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

You could try making an IV, run a 2 liter soda bottle with a line running straight to injection pump (this bypasses everything pre injection pump) try to start it now, remove the glow plugs to make it easier on the starter, when you get mist out the glow holes your ready to fire up. Edit: hang...

Quick and dirty-take old fuel cap, jb-weld an air fitting on and pressurize fuel tank (NO More then 5psi) that will show ANY leaks quick. Also if you didn't do a timing chain, a slight bit ahead of mark may be wise. The old guy at the Chevy dealer tells me to time by the advance lever 9nly on...

The "diesel" torque converter is the same low stall converter used on big blocks, 305's and V-6 got a high stall, most others got a medium stall. Therefore it is possible to have the incorrect flexplate-been seeing it more lately, the starter gear will look like it meshes with the flexplate, and...

Marine grade grease isn't really formulated for disc brake wheelbearings, they can get too warm, and this allows the grease to "wash out" actual wheel bearing grease has a higher resistance to heat. Drum brakes won't get as hot under normal circumstances, so it's fine to use marine grease on...

I'm looking for 1 M35 rim, preferably no tire, limited space. Pm me I can give cell number, I'll be heading down with family Thursday, be there most of Friday and some of Saturday. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

Do add to this, remove glowplugs-much easier on engine and starter. Plus when it starts to mist you'll know fuel is at the injectors. Sent from my SM-S920L using Tapatalk

I've seen a couple come apart, most were oil covered, there was only one where the HB was dry and the ring was spinning around the outside. I think there are lots of variables at play, so routine checking (every oil change?)won't hurt nothing. PS, most of the HBs I've seen fail were on later...

The front frame of all square body trucks are pretty much identical, the thickness of the frame does change K5 through K30, the rear portion of the frame on blazers and suburbans are different then pick up trucks because of the rear mount tank. So any front mount receiver that will fit a K30...

I've found lots of kits are made for the lighter 350 motors, the extra mass of the 6.2 tends to wear out the front springs faster. Tuff country somewhat recognized this and recommends the HD springs only for diesels. (Just giving an example, not promoting, nor have I used them.) Sent from my...

If you don't mind me asking, but how did you get to the inner top two bolts for the brush guard? I only put a bumper on my truck so far, and found them incredibly difficult to get to...I actually went through the grille opening because the grille was not yet installed. It has me putting off...

Here is my video of the Ice Cream Run Friday Night on the 28th, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=350VlRxI2ow I just used a cheap Dash cam, which doesn't have great quality, So I apologize in advance, a Go-Pro is the plans.

Agreed, any MV rally should be willing to have you along, I mean if you think about, minus concourse? Car shows where originality is the name of the game, all car shows are at least half made up of modified cars, I see no reason why an MV rally should be any different. And also to stay on...

Sounds like the sun gear? Broke on the input- I have a transfer like that- it's hard to turn in any gear(4h, 4l n, 2) When you look at used, make sure the input can spin the outputs with resistance on the outputs(hold them as tight as you can) not an exact science, but it can point to other...

There's four(4) steps of safety with the split ring tires, rated worst to safest: 1:nothing, 2: a heavy chain, 3: a good built cage, 4: and not doing them A chain is really only marginally better then nothing, especially if you only wrap the tire and don't secure it to something else(like a...

They're still out there-I'm not sure about aftermarket-but my brothers 2000 1-ton uses u-bolts, and the 14 bolt I picked up for my half ton uses u-bolts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've rarely seen perfect fitting straps, genuine straps from gm are the best, but I think it was $10 for just a strap, and that was on a little 10 bolt axle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replaced my speedo cable, the transfer case end broke free of the cable itself and was just free spinning. Only took me an hour to get all tools, inspect the old cable and install new one. Tomorrow my dad is taking her in to be inspected, barring anything major I missed over my inspection it...
