    NeverDie batteries - One of these replaces both batteries?

    I saw this NeverDie battery on Trucks this past weekend and they said this thing can provide enough or more juice than 2 stock batteries, and will start the the trucks for years and years. And, it never dies!! So I look up this high speed, low drag battery and this thing costs like $1700...

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    Hmmm, interesting. I did not receive nor do I use plastic with my spacers. I haven't had any issues with them so far. BUt I don't run them year round. I have two sets of wheels with 255/85/16s winter, and the other set with 235/85/16's for summer. I think I am going to use the 140 ft lbs and...

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    Devin - Yeah, this is wierd, nothing like the manufacturer spreading different information about the same spec. I am not concerned about getting the wheel tight, I just don't want to pull the studs through the aluminum spacers.

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    I'll see your "Capacities and Specifications" and raise you a GM Service Manual.... I had to fold the page to get it all in the pic...Now I am confused....

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    Thanks Devin! I thought sure my helms manual said 175, I need to check that out and find out for sure. For some reason I thought the duallys were much higher than the 2500s.

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    Thanks fellas. I never thought of emailing Fred....wow! I am slippin'! The spacers are from him and they are aluminum. I am seeing some torque specs here, but I am thinking the specs on a DUALLY are 175 ft lbs on the rear. Right?

    Wheel Spacer Torque Specs

    It's been awhile since I put the spacers on my dually, and I can't remember what the torque specs are for the spacers. I am thinking it's the same as the wheels, 175 ft lbs on the rear. It's just that the spacers are aluminum and I would hate to pull a spacer stud though. The spacers were made...

    Allison Transmission upgrade

    I too have an '01 LB7 and I like it even though my injectors crapped out before 100K miles. But, I replaced them and still driving it. Since you stated that you have an upgraded exhaust and air intake, I would rebuild the transmission (Sun Coast) and put in a triple disc torque convert (Sun...

    Transynd pricing

    $46 per gallon is a good price...nowadays....around here it's $52 a gallon. About 3 years ago I was buying a gallon for 30 bucks. I haven't been able to find the Mobil 1, so I am looking for the John Deere TES 295. Most JD places around here have the HD stuff which is a high viscosity, but I'm...

    Fog Lights coming apart....GM or aftermarket replacements?

    Those are purty cool but those don't fit in my openings in the bumper. The lenses are gone, I have no clue as to where they went. One of my lenses was half way off so I just pulled it off. It' slike the glue let go or something, I really don't know. GM parts direct has them for 100 bucks each...

    Fog Lights coming apart....GM or aftermarket replacements?

    Hey guys - I took my wife's 04 2500 suburban in to get it inspected and the mechanic noticed that both fog light lens were gone! So I went home and checked my '01 3500 dually and both of my lens were also gone. Is this a common problem? Anybody have this issue, and did you replace them with GM...

    Wheel Hub Assembly - 2500 Suburban 4x4

    Howdy Firm! I did some research today and tracked down the Timken part number and I know for sure that the front hub for the Suburban 2500, 2500HD, 3500HD and the Hummer all use the same Timken part number...SP580310.

    Wheel Hub Assembly - 2500 Suburban 4x4

    Hi Fellas, I am trying to get confirmation that the Timken hub assembly that the Duramx Store sells for the 2500HD will work for an '04 2500 Suburban (4x4)? I am purty sure it's the same part but I would like to confirm on this.... please. Also, I am assuming the ABS brake line also fits... Thanks!

    Opinions on the Valvoline Syn Gard TES295 Trans Fluid?

    Wow! Thanks for that info! That could have been ugly to buy the wrong viscosity. Thanks again!

    Opinions on the Valvoline Syn Gard TES295 Trans Fluid?

    I have located a commercial John Deere shop fairly close to me...about 30 minutes. They carry the HD SynTran which is also a TES295. I am going to see what the cost is and I hope it is NOT $50 a gallon.
