    Rebuild front end?

    Just don't use a multi purpose grease. I don't know the grease specs in the USA but here in Canada they are allowed up to 2% by VOLUME of foreign matter. That could be anything from dirt to metal shavings. An extreme pressure grease isn't allowed to have that... here anyways. Just a thought.

    Control arm swap 1997 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton

    Would it be straight swap or would I need extra pieces. I ask as my cousin has a rolled 1997 k2500 GMC SLE with big v-8 , lots of good parts. I have the 1997 k1500 GMC sle with 5.7 and the ball joints are shot. Might be quicker (easier) fix?

    Stupid sellers

    Being evicted may have been a reason for the deceptive ad. Or just being a loser in general. I refuse to use the online sites. Three word stupid questions from idiots I can do without. Can't get to a wide audience but my life is much ... saner?

    1997 k1500 rear diff magnet questions

    I'm sure, at this point that it is a piece of the magnet as it is very rough where it doesn't make the circle. I didn't find enough cuttings OR pieces that would make up the difference. What has me freaked out is WHY it's broke. Something had to move, either the magnet or the carrier.

    1997 k1500 rear diff magnet questions

    Thanks for your reply. The piece must b from the magnet. Question now is, what caused it to break?:( Why would you add a transmission additive to your diff.?

    Driver's Front Clunk Noise at Low Speed - Help!

    I've seen a wheel bearing that had no play but was completely gone. Never squealed or squeeked but fell apart into pieces when I opened it up. I was going to say ball joints but sounds like you've eliminated that.

    1997 k1500 rear diff magnet questions

    Where is it supposed to be and what shape is it? Dropped the oil today in my rear diff. Magnet was on bottom under carrier and was a "C" shape. Found one jagged piece on magnet that I couldn't tell where it was from. Is the magnet supposed to b a circle?

    1997 k1500 carbon fiber drive shaft question

    Ironhead: I think they were referring to moisture/salt being trapped behind the wrap, oxidizing the AL u minium. ;) They never did anything on the truck I had. I bought it used and when I pulled the 5th wheel off, the aluminum was badly corroded. Don't remember exactly but I had to use a...

    1997 k1500 carbon fiber drive shaft question

    Yes, I wondered if the white substance on the shaft wasn't the aluminum corroding/oxidizing. Or glue. Had a Mack back in the day with an aluminum frame. Seen what oxidisation could do.

    1997 k1500 carbon fiber drive shaft question

    How much added strength? 10%? 2%? 49.786%? Curious how much strength I've lost by losing the wrap. If you've any idea that is. Nobody else seems to b able to give me an answer

    1997 k1500 carbon fiber drive shaft question

    I'm not an engineer but in theory I could see how the carbon fibre could absorb harmonic vibration just by being there. To a degree.
