Call the fire dept, they'll know

This is why I got the Wera. Hammer through ends, ergo grips (they're amazing), hex spot in the shaft for a wrench if more torque is needed. VERY happy with the Wera drivers.

Yeah, tell me that too. Just dropped the core off and hooked up the meters, it's charging EXACTLY as it should between 14.2 & 14.4V which is well within the range this vehicle is supposed to charge at according to the tech software my mechanic referenced.

He didn't want to even look at the alternator til we tried a battery. It was nearing 5 years on the battery, amps reading 450 instead of 650, going to need a new one soon regardless, and it's supposed to drop below zero starting next week, so let's try a battery first. If it was the...

I think a lot of you are unfamiliar with PCM controlled charging systems. They'll push higher voltage if they sense a need (like a bad/low battery). The old "dumb" charging systems used a fixed regulator that was constant around 14V.

That's the plan if it's going to sit, already ordered it (needed one for the riding mower over the winter anyways).

Then I got the interstate with a 6 year warranty for the same price or less than the 2 yr warranty everlast.

An H6 will not be found for $100, $175 was with tax & core (I'll get that back when I drop off the old one). I just googled, you can find em $140+ core (and likely shipping) so basically the same price if not more.

Before After It was the battery, regulators are all digital now, it sensed low battery, pushed more to it to try to "fix" the battery, was never going to. Bad regulators typically read 17+ volts according to my mechanic. I suspected the battery all along due to age, cold weather, sitting...

The battery was reading 450 amps, supposed to be 650

The GPS is the battery draw, factory, thing runs all the time on every GM I've seen with it.

It's an H6, and I don't shop at Walmart for anything. Got an interstate. Priced various ones at autozone, their cheapest was 160 with only a 2 year warranty, had one for $220 with 5 yr warranty.

Been off work a few weeks, truck sat 2+ weeks without moving. 2011 Avalanche, 35k miles. When I finally drove it, the voltage meter was reading high. Stopped at my buddies auto shop to see what he though. He hooked up a couple meters, battery (original) is low, alternator is pushing 16 volts...

Don't paint! I bought a house that to "spruce up" to sell the used a Wagner to paint the fence and the deck. It looked horrible after 3 months. I pressure washed then sanded the entire deck, nothing you could do to get all the paint off, so I repainted, lasted a year, looks like sh*t. I'm...

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310819 thread where I asked the same question. Some other recommendations in there.

I asked this a month or so ago and everyone recommended Mayhew. This is what I bought. Very nice set. Mayhew 61019 Punch and Chisel Kit - 19 Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J5DICI/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I just bought Wera 900 series Kraftform plus drivers from Amazon. Nicest screw drivers I've handled. They make other levels of screw drivers, and larger kits. I got these and a 6 pack of the same in Torx.

I'll pass then, limited on space so wouldn't work well for me.

Anyone know if this is worth grabbing? https://quadcities.craigslist.org/tls/5350216841.html

That's nice! Do you fabricate the lid from scratch or did you find something that works and modify it for this use?
