I'm sure that key tool has paid for itself in handyness! 🙂👍 great video Wesley! Always nice to get some maintenance done before the sn*w starts to fall 🥶
I've used that tool more in the last 3 years, then when I bought it 12 years ago! Nevertheless, it's nice to have the right stuff on hand. Yeah, we've had some sn*w flurries the last couple of weeks. I'm so NOT looking forward to it.
Don't you just love gms front suspension from the 90s? Lol. My dad owns a 92 1 ton with the same front suspension setup. It be nice if gm kept the straight axle
For what it is, it's not bad. But there's still something's that are to be desired. I actually did a solid front axle swap to my 1993 K1500 about 12 years ago. Ford Dana 60 high pinion with king pins. Swapped in a 14 bolt full floater while I was at it. One of the better things I did to that truck. Still have it. Currently awaiting a 454 TBI rebuild & swap. Time & money are such evil things! 🤣🤣
Good fix! That didn’t look like the funnest project ever, but at least it went fairly smooth👍. I wish Chevy went with a straight axle for these gmt400 trucks, however parts are cheap and easy to work on. Have you ever thought of getting those “leveling kit” torsions keys? They’re a little bigger, and are suppose to level out the front of the truck. Some people think they’re great while others say it will wreck your tires from premature wear.
That's what I have. The model I have is called Maxx Cam. All depends upon the intended purpose. My intended purpose is to take care of old & worn out torsion bars & to help offset the weight of the plow in the winter.
For small adjustments, either up or down, you shouldn't have to. I do recommend raising the front wheels off of the ground though. Just measure the bolt protrusion of each side & adjust evenly. The adjustment bolts are lock tite in the nut.
I don't feel as bad knowing that I am not the only one with one of my trucks missing the flywheel cover haha. stupid thing chevy did was put the oil filter right above the front shaft. i took my 90degree filter adapter off and got a shorter Wix filter, much easier to work with and never have to worry about the o-ring leaking on the adapter
That's awesome! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! So you're just getting into your summer months then? Does the temperature get much higher than that where you are?
Nothing better than having the right tool for the job 👍

Do you need this tool if you just wanna lower the ride height via the torsion bar adjusting bolt?

The highest in February 46°C but normally a one off day. 30°C ~ 35°C regularly.
