Finally someone realizes that there are posted maximum safe speeds for these tires. You are being very wise in your question. Please also consider that these vehicles were not designed for operation at those speeds, yes you have good brakes, but the handling characteristics of the vehicle are...

Are we there yet............

Advanced timing for the injection is how you reduce smoke not retarding it. Advanced timing will also lower EGT, and contribute to rougher idle, if to advanced hard starting when hot will result. Chamber pressure will increase and if head gaskets are marginal advanced timing will blow them...

Yea, what AM said.

Lets keep in mind that the early arrivals (which will be great) will have to plan for the main arrivals starting on Wednesday. BUT, Please coordinate the AO items with Clinto, he has the feel for what where and how much and how big. Some of us with the bigger trailers will just need a quiet...

IF properly timed, sounds like the fuel control lever is not properly engaged into the fuel plunger sleeve. Not an uncommon happening if the little "plunger sleeve pin" in out of place the pump will NOT make injection pressure. Suggest pulling the fuel control lever and verifying.

Should be just fine, if you follow the rules. GO SLOW, turn gently, safety chains, and slave the brakes by all means.

I went through a similar item, in my case it never was the T-Case, it was the rear diff., lost a tooth and has the same pop and skid then runs fine. The scream was the big issue, went the t-case route only to determine not actually where the sound was. VPW sent a replacement rear member and...

m1010, let me get this correct (from an investigators point of view) 1. 16,000# pintle 2. 17,000# receiver 3. 20,000# trailer 4. Unknown GCVWR for the truck. What does the towing guide say, that is the governing factor. Limiting factor is the pintle and 1600# tongue weight, Trailer is...

Our prayers to you and your family. It is a tough for a parent to survive a child.

VERY nice work. But we would expect no less.......

Nice looking 1/2 deuce, but yes too much tire (clearance issues).

Awww, come on guys, my company investigates accidents and such like some of what is being discussed. Typical towing practices are good for business........... But, the correct tongue weight is 10% of the TOTAL trailer weight, not to exceed 15% and this is very tow vehicle specific. (This is...

Got some new areas that no one has run yet for those that are brave enough..... Got some new twists on trails for those that are brave enough, not hard just SKILL required. Please lets keep the dirty sides down...

Is it time yet..... Are we there yet? Are we ready yet? I am all in...

73m819, SS shirts and or Georgia Rally shirts. Except for first day, then tradition dictates that... "Still Plays with Trucks" shirt will make its 30th appearance.

In general, it the main fuel stop screw should be REDUCED roughly 13 flats when the FDC is bypassed.

That is the "dust cover" for the bottom of the bell housing. It is unique to the GMC, and is of roughly 3/16" steel. I believe the formal name is "Torus Housing Cover". Some of the GMC guy here should be able to help with one or try Memphis Equipment they used to have a good mix of GMC parts.

Each system is only as good as the mechanic or wrench turner. FWIW, engineers that work in power and energy hate the metric systems, the terms do not correspond and there are conflicting terms. Now lets discuss, "US Metric", ISO Metric, and SI Metric, and ......oh well what a mess.

Sure looks like ya'll had a great time. Clinto...I do have several river runs for the Georgia Rally, looks like I gotta take the kids down to them this year...... Bring straps and gear........
