Phil, grab the one Steve recommends. I've had two AC Delcos crap out on me...and have had to swap 'em out on the side of the road.

I swear the worse thing ya' can do is store a vehicle...but anyway. The alternator is noisy on this 1998 Chev 4X4. Is there any way of lubricating the bearing?

General Auto Tech / Pick A Truck Tire For Me

« on: March 19 2012, 10:18:05 AM »

The tow vehicle is in need of new tires...these ones still have decent tread...but they're old. The rims are currently shod with Hercules Terra Tracs...size is 275-55-R 20. I tow the GN with this thing...so what brand of tires would you guys recommend. I bought the truck with the 20" rims and tires on it...so go easy on me.

General Auto Tech / Bleeding Chev 1998 4X4 Brakes

« on: March 18 2012, 03:18:24 PM »

Just got back from picking up the tow vehicle from winter storage...and the front right caliper was seized up pretty good. Got it rolling and got it home. I picked up a pair of front calipers. Truck has anti lock brakes...says Kelsey Hayes on the brake box. How tough are they to bleed...or will this be a cake walk?

General Auto Tech / 1993-2002 Camaro Question

« on: March 18 2012, 11:26:28 AM »

The girlfriend is currently in the market for a 1993-2002 LT1/LS1 6 speed powered Camaro. My question is this. How much abuse can the 6 speed transmission and differential take if the engine is left in its stock configuration?
