    Balancing Tires - What About This?

    Tire balancing. Some of this depends on how big of a tire your balancing. I took my M920 to a tire shop to balance the tires/wheel assemblies and they took one look at them and said NO WAY, those tires are way to big to balance with lead weights, the truck had 1600x20 on it with HEMTT wheels...

    Would you replace these brake rotors?

    Like what was said look at the TMs and if your rotors still have good wear left in them I would leave them and have them turned then install new pad clean and lubricate according to the TMs and wear them out. If your pads arent dragging the rotors on the vehicle might just be crappy metal...

    M1083 crank no start, looking for a Mechanic to help me get it started

    Do you just NOT want to work on your truck? The TMs on this site will tell you just about everything there is to know about your truck and how it works, the troubleshooting section very likely will have this problem in it also.

    Does anyone make a good 4” turbo back turbo exhaust?

    Tobash have you modded the engine in ways that your thing it could actually need a 4" exhaust? If stock that engine was just plain happy as a clam with 3" tubing. If your just doing it to be cool then just cut the existing pipe and weld you bigger pipe to that.

    fuel tank problems.

    Normally you would have two options 1 fix it 2 replace it. I am guessing the hole is not small? and being it was speared from the outside inward it may be difficult to pound out and then weld a patch on it? It will be likely easiest to replace the tank, I can think they would be that expensive?

    What to proactively replace from yermo auction truck that has been sitting?

    Blutow it sounds to me like you have a pretty good start on this.

As far as the...
