as in 22.5 inch diamter rims?
Not so sure. Kind of an old school person. What do they look like?
Meanwhile... looks like I lost the lower coolant hose. Dripping a little from under there and that hose looks suspicious. Bummer. But I was going to have it flushed and filled anyway.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

02-02-2010 04:39 PMBuizilla is who turned me on to the additive tips. I was replacing sticking injectors right and left. I called him looking for competitive pricing. He turned me on to that trick and in 500 miles the sticking injectors all went away. At $2400 an engine just in parts, I'd say it was a good tip.
If Jim told me to piss in the tank, I'd buy a nice step stool.

How are they flushing the tranny? Pretty sure you cannot hook up those flushing machines they use on an Allison. Most guys unhook the output tranny cooler line and let the pump evacuate the old fluid. Obviously you have to be careful using this method not to run the tranny dry. You start it up and let it pump out so many quarts then shut down, add some ATF, restart, pump some more, repeat until fluid comes out clean. Supposedly the filter in the pan on the valve body never needs replaced unless you are doing a rebuild. At 95K I personally would pull the pan to inspect how much material is in the bottom and clean it. And if you have the pan off, why not change the internal filter?

Not saying you are wrong, but the tranny cooler lines run up to the radiator for the tranny cooler. GM blames it on the colder weather... If you do a search on www.dieselplace.com there are some who have had lines made with better ends, not the crimps to eliminate the problem.

Crap. My regular guy can't touch it. (Coolant hose) His biggest lift can only do 10,000 lbs, and he figures this truck is 11,400. They don't have enough room without the lift I guess.
I asked if he would just lift the front and he said no.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

Don't confuse the GVW sticker with the actual curb weight, subtract the payload capacity from the GVW sticker and that gets a pretty close curb weight estimate.
After KW, I rolled through the scale house at 23k in a crew cab f450 with two scooters in the bed, luggage, full fuel, 10,500 boat, steel trailer and probably some other junk in the bed.
I would say a crew cab dually 4x4 diesel is less than 8k with everyday stuff in it.
I actually found the specs for your truck...
•Curb weight: 2,972kg (6,552lbs)
•Exterior body width: 2,441mm (96.1")
•Exterior length: 6,566mm (258.5")
•GVWR: 5,171kg (11,400lbs)
•Rear hiproom: 1,598mm (62.9")
•Rear legroom: 993mm (39.1")
•Rear headroom: 991mm (39.0")
•Exterior height: 1,963mm (77.3")
•Wheelbase: 4,242mm (167.0")
•Front legroom: 1,049mm (41.3")
•Rear shoulder room: 1,654mm (65.1")
•Turning radius: 8.5m (27.9')
•Front shoulder room: 1,656mm (65.2")
•Front hiproom: 1,560mm (61.4")
•Front headroom: 1,041mm (41.0")
