Bought this jack. Before you go knocking it bc it's from harbor fright......take a look. They compare it to a couple other jacks (nap on and Matco both around $500) and this one is better. I bought it on sale for $180. Best jack I have ever used in my entire life. The thing is pretty heavy. Real heavy duty. My truck has a 3.5" lift and it lifts my truck no problem with room to spare. Plus it's low enough to lift my wife's car.

 

Check it out .......don't check it out..........it's a great buy though.

I have only had that jack for about a month now. Bought it to install my lift. It has a 3 year warranty.

I didn't realize you had a 2500 though. I'm not sure the weight difference. I've never jacked up a 2500. Works great for a 1500.

My truck weighs just under 6k pounds. The three ton Jack before the lift went in just got high enough to get the tires off with only an inch or so to spare. It's a craftsman Jack about two years old now doesn't give me any problem with any other vehicle putting it in the air struggles with the 3/4 ton thinking i might need min a 4 ton Jack. The 2500s sit higher than the 1500s obviously and we put a 4 inch lift in it. I can pull it in here at the Dodge Stealer ship but the boss gives me a hard time about it don't wanna deal with him on it.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
