Okay, I'll bite. So shrink tubing and liquid electrical tape are "temporary fixes". But not having any insulation (although not needed in this case) for six years is....a permanent solution? As a frequent user of shrink tubing and liquid electrical tape, I don't get it, sorry.

You and me both. But I'm posting this photo so that I won't have to go look again, just to be sure. Or Google it again. Now all I have to do is find this post the next time the front load capacity comes up, which seems to be often.

Well, since there are two springs holding the front up, per spring that takes it down to 2,250. Just going by the data plates on the CUCVs I have, and the official GM numbers.

I should stay out of these spring topics. Last time I got the K-10 and K-30 mixed up, this time the spring rate and load capacity. If I look it up again I'll probably goof up again, but according to my notes the K-30 has a 4,500-lb. load capacity in the front.

I hope you don't mean that the transfer case seals had anything to do with vibration. Except for ruining the mounts at the transfer case.

Springs with a 4,501 lb./in. rating would give you just a little over stock.

Unsprung weight is bad, rotating mass is really bad. I wouldn't run a heavier wheel than necessary. But that's just me. I also prefer larger diameter tires over lifted suspensions since the latter does nothing for ground clearance.

I may have to have a talk with your wife. She just might take my side.

So it was you that bought what I hoped would be my parts SEE. Oh, well, you're welcome anyway.

I do? And gracious?!? Okay, I'm outta here.

Hey, I peruse these pages in an effort to learn. But I have yet to learn not to answer the same old questions. I am getting better at it, though. Steel Soldiers in general is sooo much better than a sports cars forum I used to frequent. There it wasn't uncommon to read "Help, my left headlight...

I put a Banks unit on an '85 Suburban, later also on my M1009, and it made a world of difference. Whatever setup you decide to use, I highly doubt that you'll regret it.

General Hood, there is another option for driving posts with your SEE. Push them down with the bucket. Although I fully understand why you don't like that method...it does scratch the paint on the bottom of the bucket.

At least mine has black wheels, too.

Squat cars are supposed to be black.

Yeah, they were kinda shiny, weren't they?

Only if it hurts when you laugh.

So now you can't post? Too bad, I liked some of your comments.

First it was peakbagger, earlier today on a different thread, now you, swiss. Both of you seem to insinuate that it's somehow more important to make a vehicle mechanically sound before testing its limits and making it look purdy. What's up with that? It's not particularly entertaining, I think...

Aw, c'mon peakbagger. Are you suggesting that it would be better to first inspect/change fluids, grease Zerks, etc., than to fire up your new purchase and see what it can do? That could remove the very real possibility of getting a more intimate knowledge of the inner workings of our machines.
