This is what I was referring to. When I bend the ground strap to make .060, the small dot on the ground electrode does not line up with the center electrode. Is this a problem? So far so good. All the plugs are loose without damage to the threads At this point with 204 k miles, that was a lot...

That is reassuring. These engines and vehicles are amazing. you have 280k , I have 204k and still runs like new. Need to so some rear end work soon though. Easy to work on everything on this. I haven't encountered anything that I would say was hard to get to yet. I have a 98 Expedition as well...

Chevy service department says they take them out of the box and install them as they are pre-gapped...which is .040. NGK said: "The tip metal does not matter on the gap all plugs (Iridium, Platinum, Nickel) require .040” gap for that engine." Waiting to hear what AC Delco says. They were sending...

Resurrecting this old thread. Funny, I am just now getting around to doing my plug and wire job. Everything I am seeing says .040, the plugs are pre-gapped at .040, the RA and other websites say .040. The new 41-962 plugs I got from RA are pre-gapped at .040 With tons of research and looking at...

I wouldn't return it, I hate when people do that and I am on the receiving end. I would sacrifice it. For the sake of 10.00 I would rather have peace of mind knowing I put a decent filter in place.

I always thought K&N was a good brand name. I got mine at Walmart and they were white with a nut on the bottom. Then I noticed they switched to black. I didn't think much of it until now. It appears as if there is a Select and a Premium. 2003 Suburban 5.3,. I am doing an oil change and wanted to...

Just "finished" this job, at least the hard part. Let me tell you, for anyone looking to do this flush without a mess, look into this adapter, not sure what other vehicles it fits, but it fit mine perfectly. Cooler Line Adapter Couldn't figure out why they sent such big hose clamps with...

Last time I was messing with a drain bolt was on my Expedition and I destroyed it, just by torquing it to spec. The nut on the inside lost its bond to the pan. and started to spin, lost its torque and leaked. I did not want to get into that again. When I took off the pan, I was shocked to see...

It's just a drain bolt in a pan. The staining around it is some Kroil I sprayed on it. I looked at replacement pans just in case. It looks like the new pans do not have a drain bolt.

2003 Suburban 1500 transmission drain bolt is very tight. I don't want to damage it or strip the pan. Will this come out eventually or damage something if I continue to work it? Would like to have this available for future drains, otherwise I will just lower the pan.

Yep, that pretty much clears it all up. This whole thread started from an experience I had with a purchase un-related to car parts. I bought a name brand product from a major retailer that broke and when I went to get it covered under lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, they said the...

Just called dealer to get price for transmission filter and gasket for my 03 Suburban. They said gasket is 20.00 and filter with bushing is 68.00. RA has a "GM Genuine kit for 27.00. RA GM Genuine Filter and Gasket Are these the same, or is there any justifiable difference for 3x dealer pricing?

Most definitely it was not. In hindsight, I would have got this HF tool. Also, now that I have some experience, I know what to look for.

"If in doubt blame the rental tool ;)" What a ridiculously easy project with a tool that is not broken. Install was effortless. I did have to sand down a small ridge on 1/4 of the inside diameter of the pulley bore about 3/8" in from the back due to damage created from the last effort with the...

How about tips for not having leaks when clamping the hose over a flare on a tube for pumping into a bucket? I am using a clear tube that has the same ID as the OD of the flare and using a hose clamp behind the flare, but it always leaks. I just did this with my power steering and it leaked too...

It does have a factory trans cooler, so this helps! Thanks

All good advice. I am leaning towards getting new spring clamp and seal and try the cooler line removal idea. 1 problem I have always had is when I install a hose over a flared fitting and clamp it behind the flare, it always leaks. Any advice how to compensate for this? Maybe clamp the hose on...

THE OEM Tool does have bearings or something similar. They are either worn or missing in the set I had. I went to 2 different AZ and looked at 3 different sets, all had a different version of the problem with the bearings and nut. I got one set that was like new and makes a lot more sense now...

Thanks for the tips. I will give greasing the tool and heating the pulley a try. Nice snap on tool. The bearing and tapered stop makes a lot of sense. Also like that big over-sized tightening nut. By the time my rental tool is seated, the hex head of the nut is only about 1/2" exposed, not much...
