    Can I swap in 3/4T HD springs into my M1009?

    you can do up too a 4 inch lift without extending brake lines. use 3/4 ton springs on front that will give you a small lift in the front, about an inch, 1 ton springs will add 2 inches too the front.

    tranny rebuild book

    "ATSG" Thats what all the dealer mechanics use and most generic vehicle shops. I get mine from ebay, can also get them from a parts store or your chevy dealer parts department.

    Can I swap in 3/4T HD springs into my M1009?

    Also the 1 ton springs are 3 inches wide all others are 2.5 inches, but I do believe they will work on any chevy due too the spring perches all being the same width, except for the 1 ton rear springs being longer but you could always relocate the rear spring perch.

    Can I swap in 3/4T HD springs into my M1009?

    All blazers, suburbans, 1/2 ton trucks and most 3/4 ton trucks came with 52 inch springs, so measure them, but they should bolt right up, some 3/4 tons and all 1 tons came with 56 inch springs.

    Whats the reason behind motor oil in the fuel tank..?

    2 cycle oil is the best overall for two reasons, first it was meant too be burned in the engine, second it supposed too be a lubricant for engine components.

    How do you know when to change fuel filter?

    Why wait till the truck won't start because of a clogged fuel filter, best to do preventive maintenance and change it regularly.

    Blew a head gasket

    ARP Head Studs 130-4062. No I used felt/steel head gaskets, they have a better seal and a small ring around each cylinder for turbo applications so the gasket won't blow out. I used Fel-Pro FMC-260-1315. Not sure on the miles, the truck has 74,000 on it but the motor had fresh paint and a...

    Blew a head gasket

    Ok got it got together today. Took a lot of cranking to reprime but once it did fire right up! Mikev to answer your question, no I don't think the head gasket blew, some of the head bolts felt very easy to loosen so I think some of them stretched causing the head to lift of the block. Also got...
