F#$@%!* Ifs Trash

Damn it wasnt that big of a deal when I replaced the rotors on my 98 K3500 and I didnt even use a manual. I seem to be the only person in the world that loves GM IFS for daily driver duties. The only trouble I had when I replaced my rotors was getting the 4 15mm bolts off that hold the hub on. They are tighter than a nun's **** and I think they have some kind of thread locker on them. I broke 3 craftsman sockets (lets not go there though) before finally going to vatozone (only place that was still open) and buying a set of metric impact sockets. After that, I got it all done easy enough. I think I used a standard socket of some sort on the CV shaft nut, just cause thats all I had. My steering components probably need to be replaced but I'll get around to that when I can afford it.

I have to agree, IFS is great for DD duty. I mean really is it that big of a deal to replace a few things every 100k miles or so?

i had a 91 K1500. great truck the whole time i had it, blew the rear end, and got to adding up what it was going to cost to fix things the way i wanted them fixed (needed front end work, a CV, the rear end, and tires) i was money ahead to buy my 93 C2500. when the snow started falling, i wished like hell i had kept my K1500. my next truck 4x4 DD will probably be a 91-95 K2500 or K3500 (with the 4L80E, so i can actually tow something.)
