Back 250k miles ago in 93 I bough my pick up. It's a 5.7 I have had to change the intake gaskets, the altenator, and today the starter. It wasn't a bad job about 20 min. but I used standard wrenches for the wires to take it out and Metric to put it in. Why would they change studs and nuts on somthing that simple:confused:......new starter is GM
Don't ya love the metric system. Soon everything will be this way. Someday all my standard tools will be useless, unless I work on aircraft. Oh wait, I do.
Sourced in the USA in '93 from a US manufacturer, and likely China now in 2012 from the low price supplier. He says to the buyer, "You want SAE fasteners? That will be extra!", so you got metric.Quote:
