    GM IFS 8.25 axle stub play - is it time to rebuild?

    Personally I would try getting a pair of Vise Grips on that bolt, heat the nut with a torch and spray some PBlaster or WD-40 on it, then see if it comes loose. I would try that before drilling or anything else.

    GM IFS 8.25 axle stub play - is it time to rebuild?

    You've definitely got something wrong going on inside there. A little play in and out is ok but that wobble is a bad deal. Pulling that diff out isn't too bad, jack it up. Put some good jack stands under the vehicle. Remove the skid plate, Unbolt the axle shafts at the flanges, remove the...

    7 Passenger Raptor? Oh yeah.

    I saw it Friday at their shop as I drove by, looks cool and it looked like they had a few more sitting out back.

    Two Time Cover Truck Under The Knife

    Love it or hate it, that is a true statement. The amount of hand fabrication by the owner is ridiculous. This thing has been built, not bought.

    Two Time Cover Truck Under The Knife

    What do you do when you have a two time Mini Truckin cover truck? You hack that bitch up and distance yourself from the pack. First cover version. Most recent cover. The transformation began last night.

    Gears

    Give the guys at Ron's Machine Shop a call and they will walk you through exactly what you need. Probably beat the Amazon pricing too, tell them you heard about them on performance trucks.net. http://www.ronsmachiningservice.net/ Posted from my iPad via Tapatalk HD.

    The Official DEF Usage Thread

    I'm still trying to get a handle on it myself. I probably do a little better than you because I have long stretches at constant speed when I go home every week. 250 mile trip mostly interstate and highway miles. Posted from my iPad via Tapatalk HD.

    Not sure why it's giving you trouble unless it's too big of a file. The garage software here is pretty hokey, we tried upgrading it a year or so ago and the whole damn thing took a crap. lol, so I haven't really wasted much time re doing my stuff. Try a smaller pic and see if it goes.

    97 K1500: Reverse Issues

    Jack the truck up and pop off the differential cover. Do a little inspecting to see what's going on. A little silicone and some gear oil is all it will cost you. But open it up and see if you have broken teeth, with the rear end supported on jack stands turn the driveshaft and listen for noise...

    Good list and should make it even better when you get it done. Funds, yeah that slows most of us down doesn't it. :lol: I'm looking at RideTech's Shockwaves and trying to justify a set of them. Hard sell when a pair of Shockwaves go for around $700 and a pair of bags go for less than $150. I...

    Make Your Own Battery Lugs WTfWONk?

    I'm not certain on the L, M & K that you saw listed. But generally we try to carry mostly medium duty tubing onboard for use. For example, a 10mm tube in Light duty rating may have a wall thickness of 1.50 mm, Medium duty would be 2.00 mm, and Heavy being in the 2.5 to 3.00 mm range. Unless...
