    Anyone driving the Duramax in New England? Determining whether it's worth it when prices are sky high.

    I keep forgetting about the 3.0,you mention diesel so automatically I think the big boy. When merging onto hwy how is it? Like 20 to 70mph.

    I think the only reason to get a diesel would because your towing a lot. Price of diesel here in NW Canada has mostly always been much higher then gas. Add on top the price to buy and maintain costs.

    Well about a thousand tack welds later. I’m low right where the welds are so worked good don’t have to grind welds any more. Haven’t done a light test yet. I’m sure I missed a few spots. Did the cut and butt where you over lap then cut at an angle. This way when the panels close the gap gets...

    Replacing wheel studs, should I do more? 08 2500 xl 4x4

    You'll know if the bearings are worn,they make that errrr sound at speed.Jack up the truck and wiggle the tire,if theirs play then there done. The rear I assume axles have to be removed to press them in. This all seams odd though as Ive never heard of having to replace studs?

    On my old truck 03 2500,I replaced front wheel bearings seams about every 100000 kms buying the cheaper ones. Assuming the bearings and studs are better quality on the pricey ones?

    So had a look,assuming its the top horizontal bolt and the bottom closest to the underside that need to be removed.The latter ones I can spray from above so let that sit.Wish me luck,those horizontal top ones may be a *****.

    Finished sanding and got some primer on. Still need a little spot putty but not too bad. Think I’ll move to the other side. Haven’t had time to make it to the paint shop to try and match better. Dam work gets in the way.

    No. I fly fish and all my flies I tie have a tungsten bead on them so they sink faster. Cheers

    Possible crackling also like a spider web.Also that re sanding in the future would be very difficult.
