RE: Cucv Wheel Lug Nuts on Hummer Wheels the main diff. between the 12bolt and the 8bolt is the pressure that they can handle. they 8bolt only handle up to 35psi (so bias plys only) the 12bolt can handle 50psi (so radials are ok). they have the same width and backspacing. run a 2" spacer on...

if you do use a compressor, make sure you dont put more than 10psi in the tank, prefer ~3psi

I'd be more worried about melting a piston top, before doing any damage to the turbo itself. the turbo can stand temps much higher than the rest of the engine components can.

nice work

thanks for verifying that Kenny.

Much easier merging in that, then the usual minivan or PT cruiser

that wasnt a bad vehicle to follow for the aberdeen convoy, its not loud at all at freeway speed, but the flashers almost put me to sleep at the wheel.

i doubt that they would be left hand thread although tightening them then loosening them in cycles might get them to break loose. if all else fails get a torch and heat then up a little.

why does every event have to be on a saturday!! I cant get all these days off

they would be unable to make it retro active, since you could have resold your truck as soon as you bought it to another US citizen. and they have no way of tracking them.

1st: we are discussing adding a bypass filter to the engine, in no way are we talking about modifying the original oil filter. 2nd: while most filters do use paper media, it is actually designed for that application and the fibers are tensioned and aligned for that purpose, TP is not. Also TP...

lol :funny:

solid green

the solonoid on the gm trucks is on the starter, there is no other parts to worry about. you can check the condition of the positive cable running to the battery but its prolly in good shape.

RE: running one now... depending on what filters you get fot the amsoil kits, you can filter down to 1micron, but there normal bypass filters are 5micron. the bypass only kit is $170 and the dual base (a full flow and a bypass filter) is $214

RE: running one now... thats a great place to mount that filter, nice easy access. I just wish i hadnt put my air horns there.

if you want to reduce friction then the best thing to do is to dismantle the spring pack and place teflon strips inbetween each leaf. this will prevent any binding. I would reccomend to anyone working on the springs on a truck put new bushings in the spring eyes, get polyurathane bushings they...

if you want a stiff spring, then get superlifts, the rough country springs have a good ride. others do flex better, but the trade offs are more sag when towing or driving loaded. It all depends on the type of driving that is done with the vehicle.
