    Anyone replace their front wheel bearings lately? I think i have the wrong spindle nut socket. NAPA sold me a kd 3937 socket but, it looks like the old one i have for the GM 1/2ton. Could it be the same? It has 4 lugs on it. Making sure i have the right tools before getting started.

    glow plug question.

    I know you can test the glow plugs with a volt ohm meter but as far as a maintenance routine does anyone know about how many miles on a truck before you should change them just to avoid trouble. I live in Florida so i probably dont even need them to start the truck, right? I also am guessing...

    gpr and glow plugs

    If the gpr goes bad, the voltage meter after start up should jump right up shouldnt it? or could the gpr be bad and still look as if it is drawing voltage right after start up. The reason i ask is that latley the mornings here in fl are a little cooler and the truck doesnt start as quickly...
