    GMT900 Slip Yoke Lubrication

    Anyone care to elaborate more on the symptoms of needing this done? I never ride in any of the new trucks (don't know anyone with one either) so I have no idea what to be looking for. Anyone heard of the GMT400 trucks needing it yet? Mine is still fine with 123k on the clock. Seems odd that...

    Alright...here we go, another tire thread

    Make up your mind!!!!! :fume: :rolleyes: :jester: You've still got a few more months before snowfall anyways. :) I've read a lot of great things about Cooper tires. They seem to wear much better than you'd expect. Someone on here has/had the LTZ's. I've never been able to find tires cheaper...

    Marking Your Tools

    I don't mark mine at all. With that said, I also don't mix them up with anyone else that has the same stuff, but I would lend out specialty tools if someone asked since they obviously wouldn't have the same thing.

    Where the hell have you been!?!? Still lookin' as good as always Kyle! :thumbs: :drool: What tires/size are you running right now? I didn't think they were that bad already. I think it needs some chrome tow hooks. :jester:

    What did you do to your truck today?

    Got called into work for 2hrs since the dishwasher didn't show up. I did the work in 1/4 the time it would have taken the other person.

    Alright...here we go, another tire thread

    According to the MiataTireCalculator, that's a 31.5". A 285/65R18 is 32.6". A 285/70R18 is 33.7". I don't think you'd want to go that big though.

    More tire wanting goodness!

    OK, the place I was looking here has them for $650 plus tax (mount/balance/disposal), but that's in a 265/75R16. $735 for 265/70R17 (but that also includes some stuff for the TPMS).

    More tire wanting goodness!

    My truck has the Firestone Destination AT's on it. They did well in the snow when I drove it (2 winters). There is no road noise and I'm getting good wear out of them (I can do the math if you'd like since they haven't been on the truck all the time). I'm consistently between 15-16mpg mixed...

    What did you do to your truck today?

    Hopkins 47225 Brake-Force that can power up to 6 brakes (so 3 axles I'm guessing). I haven't used a controller before this one, but I like it. It gets the job done and is extremely easy to use and effective. My buddy actually bought it for when we first went all the way to Milwaukee (a 3 1/2hr...

    What did you do to your truck today?

    So far, I've towed.....a '73 Monte Carlo, an 80's Chevy wagon, an 80's Chevy Malibu 4-door, and now this '78 sedan, along with a few car bodies/engines to the junkyard for him. I love how some people just stare at what's behind the truck. :rollin: I told him I need to take a load like this with...

    What did you do to your truck today?

    Believe it or not, it was towing it FROM the junkyard home! :lol: My buddy picked it to be a demolition car. The derby is in 3wks. I can't go since it's on a Friday night. :( I didn't mind one bit. He pays for gas and I like driving and towing stuff. :thumbs: We both help each other out on A...

    Built Ford Fast???

    :thumbs: :dunce: That's a VERY loose interpretation of :quote: stock :quote:. IMO, that doesn't count (along with the previous record). Stock means straight off the assembly line!!! :fume:

    What did you do to your truck today?

    Towed this '78 car (I didn't even look at what it was) with a 400 (maybe?) in it. Got 15mpg for the round trip! :thumbs: Way better than I was expecting. That's doing 65 for 55mi and 60 for 30mi each way. The truck squatted 3" (from 36" to 33"). Took my time accelerating and braking (trailer has...

    What did you do to your truck today?

    The truck has sat for 3 days. I finally drove it.....1 mile......to my dad's house for tomorrow I'll be heading to my buddy's house to pick him up and a trailer for a run to the junkyard to pick up another demo car. I think it's like a 1.5hr drive. Hopefully I'll snag a few pics of the...

    How MUCH is gas in your area?

    I never thought about the holiday weekend affecting prices. I figured they were going up due to the threat of severe weather on the East coast, but there aren't really any oil platforms out there. :dunno: Excuses....Excuses. :nonod:

    Starter interchange info GM trucks.

    Cool. Did GM ever change the 4.3L at all? Is it still based on the L30/L31 engine block and heads?
