Replying to: jgarnaas (May 12, 2009 9:06 am) sorry for the long delay in responding,thought the computer might have to be done here but before laying out that kinda cash wanted to get the motor to fire up at least,found out that this cam was actually a lt4 hot cam which by talking to summit they say wont work will never run,now every now and then it will stumble sputter for maybe 10 seconds seems like timing and i know computer takes over timing as long as you are tdc after about 2 seconds but this should fire up with starting fluid if only till it burns off,guy i bought motor from swears that this combo will work,after talking tom summit i want to get a stock camshaft only because the top end of this motor is new as i posted so looking for a good price on a 305 hydralic roller cam for the vortec,trying to get the a- hole who sold me this to at least split the cost with me.sorry for the ramble just at my wits end with this .

Replying to: claires (Oct 27, 2006 5:05 pm) Hello, not sure if this is the right place for me,   I'm a worker with a 2007 chev express 2500. This van works for a living, as do I.   Would appreciate any experience regarding the best tires and any related info about tire pressure and front end issues.   Feel free to e-mail me   John Replies to this message: jgarnaas (Jul 10, 2009 6:50 pm) cndworker (Jul 11, 2009 2:14 am)

#37 of 38 Tires by tireman9 Jul 10, 2009 (7:08 pm)
John There are two different things to consider.   Tire load capacity and Performance   Load capacity is controlled by size and inflation pressure. With a 2500 (3/4 ton) I suspect you plan on carrying some loads. Your van came with a Tire Placard that specifies the original tire size and the recommended inflation for the expected load. You should not run a smaller size tire or less inflation unless you have put the van on a scale to be sure you are not overloading the tires.   For "Performance" or Ride, Hanbling, Wet, Dry and Snow traction. The first question I would ask as a tire engineer is "What do you like about your current tire and What do you not like?"  Once you have identified the performance characteristics that you want then the tire engineer or sales person has the information needed to fill your wants.
