Yeah, I went down to local mechanic shop near my house, took 20 minutes, charged me $20.  Could have done it myself, but wasn't worth the time and effort for $20.   I'd also suggest putting

Attempting to put on 2006 Yukon Denali 6 spoke 17" rims for winter rubber. Calipers just touch and need a spacer, going to try 1/4". As I feel its the largest one should go to have enough lug nut to stud contact.

Thanks man. Do you have the factory 32-inch Goodyear’s on there or did you go with a bigger size?

I decided to put my 1.25” spacers back on now that that I added the pocket flares to the fenders.  I’ll post some pics tomorrow.

I'd also suggest putting some loctite on the stock lug bolts and will now hold the spacers, so they won't get loose.  Supposed to take the wheels off after a couple hundred miles and check that they're still torqued to spec too.  Torque both spacer lugs and wheel lugs to factory 140 ft. lbs.

My understanding is that if you use any type of thread locker like Loctite, you should torque to spec before it dries. Once it’s dried, if you re-torque you are literally breaking the thread locker and it’s pointless.

That looks great. That’s the stance I’m interested in for my Trail Boss, but I’m stock height with 295/70r18 on factory TB 18s. I’m not sure if I can trim enough to get that stance without a lift. I’m tempted to try some BORA adapters.

Thanks. Anything is possible! You just have to be willing to try. I had to trim lots off the mud flaps and the inner fenders and it rubs minimally on full lock sometimes. I’m about 3/4 higher in the front compared to the stock TB so not too much lift but I’m running a much stiffer spring so that helps reduce the wheel flex a bit. 
 

What I did was run the biggest tire possible with the minimum lift then drove the ****** out of it and trimmed everywhere I was rubbing.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
