Yikes ... if we ran those pressures up here in the Northeast, it would smash the fillings right out of my teeth, LOL!

 

I miss the smooth roads of the West. I bet exhausts, shocks, and ball joints could last the life of the vehicle out there. Up here those are all 30k miles items ...these days sometimes less than that!

I normally run about 34 PSI. When i travel i use 42 PSI for the little bit of extra economy.

I'm not sure, cannot recall what my 08 had.

When I get home I'll take a look to see it it would mount or look like it would. Where did you get it from?

I see a factory aluminum skid plate on ebay for mine....

 

Same PN as the GM metal one on ebay for Silverado, so should fit.

 

 

 

Do you have a specific search term I could use?

Everytime I search for a skid plate it pulls uo a bunch of bull bars. Very annoying

Thanks. Trying to decide if I want to buy that other factory aluminum skidplate also for the apot behind it. Then again not sure how much longer I will have it....

Drove to the job site today. Thinking of mounting my gang box in the bed of my truck to get all my tools out of my back seat. Has anyone mounted a gang box in there trucks before?

Any tips on loading an engine yourself? I don't have a lift and may not have any help. Those BOP blocks are HEAVY.

Yeah.....DON'T! I'm sure a redneck (excuse me, backwoods engineer) will have a nifty trick.

 

How about a floor jack and several different blocks of wood/bricks? Lift it up, support it and lower the jack. Put a spacer on the jack, lift and repeat.

Leave your boots loosely tied so your nut drop into them and don't get lost when you try.
