    What is the furthest you have driven you truck one way from your home on a trip.

    Only 380 but we do it about 6 times a year from Chicago to Trego Wisconsin.

    OK thanks a lot guys just doing as much research as I can to source both quality and affordability for the injectors I don't really want to spend 600 on a set of new injectors as I don't really have to much cash just lying around. I'm going to search again and see if there is a how to on...

    does anyone run a.....

    I was just curious if anyone has a cold weather grill cover for their rig that they use when it is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Cause lately it has been colder than that in the Midwest and my truck just does not blow real hot air. My temp gauge is reading fine but when I stop the temp drops...

    doing the pitman arm

    Slim shady you ain't lyin' it was a bit challenging holding the box where I needed it ( over my head) cause luckily I have access to a lift also. But it really all went well and I believe that without this forum it would have taken me a bit longer after trial and error but I would have gotten it...

    doing the pitman arm

    Yea I guess there isn't thanks for your insight as well I'm sure this will be helpful to someone in the future. That might have been part of my problem as well I didn't have a 1 5/16 wrench and wasn't about to go buy one just for this job. Its easy to be cheap when there isn't a whole lot of...

    doing the pitman arm

    Big t idk how the suburban frames or radiator support is but I couldn't get a wrench on the pitman arm bolt while the steering box was still attached to frame just didn't seem like enough room that's why I used 2×4 to support it and ratchet strapped it to the frame.

    has anyone ever tried this stuff?????

    OK thanks guys I was just curious cause it claimed to clean in both sides of engine fuel side and oil side if you buy that "package". I do have to replace injectors and glow plugs but just don't have the funds right now which sucks. Construction is real slow in Chicago. Thanks for the replies guys.

    doing the pitman arm

    I did my pitman arm today an it was a pain in the arse. But I would have to say without searching for other peoples tips and tricks I would not have done this as quickly as I thought did. Only two hours and all data says an hour and a half and they say nothing about removing steering box. So I...
