I wanted airbags but for my lift kit they didn't sell tall enough air bags, so I went with these and am 100% happy. I would like to have the on the fly adjustability of air springs, but these may be a better maintenanceless solution. http://www.supersprings.com/products/coil-sumosprings/...

My bad it's 36mm, 177 ft-lb, Updated my last post. Looks like stock you had 15mm for the inner CV to flange, torque to 55 ft-lb. The allen/hex must have been part of my lift kit, still always good to have.

Jelorian- Looks like pretty much what I carry. Only thing I'd add are vehicle specific tools. For the GMT800 specific/Allen keys- my CV's (I'm not sure if the bolts are stock) are a specific sized allen key, so I carry a manual allen key and a socket allen) 36mm CV to wheel bearing bolt (As...

I just upgraded my panhard bar to an adjustable Spohn, out of worry the stock stamped steel was weak. When replacing, I must say I was thinking the mounts look a bit weak, however theoretically the panhard bar shouldn't bear much weight more than the axle. I think lift, weight and 35's coupled...

Wow, great find with the low miles! Congrats!! I've always been reluctant to believe claims on air intakes, especially on cars/trucks where there isn't a restriction there. Saying that I purchased a 1500 with an air raid already on it, and went to take it off. There was a noticeable different...

Story, story, story!

great job, man every time I see one of these motors opened with the type of mileage we have, I am just amazed at how well built they are, even with the oil leaks and all:) I keep telling myself when it gets to 300k, I'm just going to replace it with a junkyard 50k, but now I'm really wondering...

As other said, get some brake cleaner. I've always used a liquid based brake cleaner, and made sure to have fresh air/ not breathe the fumes when wiping down. I've never blown the dust with air, but I'd imagine thats not good to breathe that dust. The cleaner will do much much better job than...

For these trucks, I go with the best rotors I can find. Usually, on Rock Auto, I get some higher end slotted rotors. For the pads I go with the Autozone Duralast Severe Duty(i think they renamed them recently). They are cheap, and not the best, but also have a lifetime warranty, so when I get...

I'm on 33's right now with 4.10 and I think it is ideal, especially with the weight we carry with all the camping/expo crap. Definitely worth it over the 3.73's in my opinion, much more pick up and go and seems to get a little better mpg than 3.73 and 33's. With 33's/ 4.10 the rpm's are a little...

I painted over a GM black with light grey monstaliner (almost grey-white) and you can't see black through it at all, even in mistakes areas.This stuff is almost a dime thick. The only places that don't look great where having a different color underneath shows is where I was over zealous with...

Buy more than you think. Buy more ROLLERS. After a bit the stuff starts to dry a little, and it starts to eat up the rollers because it's so sticky. I didn't have enough rollers so the rollers started to get pulled apart and left some pieces in the paint (I'll have to sand them out before the...

I've been 100% happy with my truck monstalined. Instead of finding my paint on branches now, I find branches on my paint. Agree prep is 100%. I ran out of the stuff when doing it so I only got one good coat on. Going to put another coat at some point AND take off ALL the trim. I didn't and...

If it doesn't go away with replacing rotors, it could be something like a bearing as well when the caliper squeezes it can torque a bad wheel bearing and cause vibration.

It could be. If only under braking I do rotors first. If it was happening at a certain speed not under braking then I'd say do balance first, then start looking at suspension components, bearings etc. As other said

DANG the snorkel looks good out in the wild! Sorry I couldn't make it, looks like a great time!

Yep, I believe the 2500's are all 8 lug. I'm digging my 4.10's on 33's, probably will go up to 35's eventually, hard to justify with the towing and mpg's... I rebuilt my front end and put in 4.10's when I did this as it had 200k miles on it. However, you can find used front diff's on...

That's what I use! A C clamp and the old brake pads to spread the force (You don't want to ruin the piston or compress them unevenly.) No core charges on rotors. Stacks of mine sit in the corner, slowly rusting away. I've never worn a mask while changing them, you aren't kicking up much dust...

Ah, It should be pretty similar though! I would youtube search your model and year, and add A1 to the end, they have a ton of vehicles and are very thorough in their instructions. In my experience, no, you do not need to replace wheel bearings. For every disc brake system I have worked on, you...
