When I picked up my trailer it had a sheet of 1/4" plywood on top of the bows. I figure that's what it was there for.

Mine did! I think the non-dented units were special order from GM..... :mrgreen:

Nice! A lot of people don't understand crimping. Done properly, it provides conduction as good as a soldered connection, but does allow corrosion to set in. Filled with solder, and you have the best of both worlds. :beer: Yeah, that ought to do it!

aua Words fail me.... Glad you were able to rescue it with helicoils. That had to have been a fun project! :shock:

Yep. Once the springs sag, you have two choices. Replace them, or band-aid the problem. Re-arching is a band-aid, but at least it's not likely to harm your vehicle. Compensating for bad springs with shocks puts more stress on the shock mounts than they were designed for, which, over time...

Keyed alike?

There's some truth in that, but you are still going to feel it. It really sounds more like parking brake to me. It's worth checking, anyway.

:ditto:

Ha! I've got the same thing with my A2! Maybe yours is the other half of mine? :mrgreen:

Yeah, I know about that. It makes good sense. The company my Dad worked for went with Chevy pickups for their fleet just for that reason. Made parts inventory a whole lot easier. They did their own repair work, and kept trucks quite a while. Nissan started that way before GM did. I was...

Oh, that's just wrong! :shock: Just kidding.... Sounds interesting, actually. :) Why, and how was the swap? Straight bolt-in? Or did you have to fab something?

I had a flatcoat retriever that did that stuff. Anything long and thin got chewed. Rope, hose, wire, whatever. She just munched it all into small little pieces. One morning I woke up and remembered I had left my good extension cord out overnight. Oh, no! She would destroy it! Ran outside...

Welcome aboard! :beer: But if you post with that nasty little eye-killing black font again, seventeen Lithuanian midgets are going to come to your house and thwack your left kneecap with small wooden spoons! aua Seriously! :shock: :mrgreen:

This is a wench: This is a winch: I was going to try to find a picture of a 12,000 lb wench, but then I thought better of it.... :mrgreen:

There's a thread about that here somewhere... Favorite place seems to be inside the frame rail.

I feel for you. I have the same, but my driveway is gravel. Ouch.

Google is NOT your friend. But DuckDuckGo.com IS. Results are just as good, and they don't track you. First hit. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jatonka

Search on that. Haven't done it myself, so I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading a recent thread about that, and it was accessible from the wheel well. Dropping a wheel is a lot easier than dropping a trans! :beer:

The original is a bad design. If a glow plug fails, higher voltage is applied to the remaining GPs. This results in higher current, which shortens their lives. When the next one fails, it gets worse. This leads to a cascade failure situation. Every failure of a GP shortens the life of the...

No need to SHOUT at us, Beemertek. We ain't deaf! ;-)
