I need to replace my guibo and gas tank. I think the tank has to come out to get to the guibo, correct? Anybody have a recommendation on where to purchase or a brand of tank? Any brand to stay away from?

The tank has no relation to a giubo change, although you do need to pull the exhaust and driveshaft to pull the tank.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

My parking brake is not working. How hard is it going to be to remove the driveshaft from the diff? Is there room to hit the bolts with an impact gun? Also, I have been driving this car carefully with a pretty nasty vibration at certain speeds, will I need to replace the drive shaft also. I know the CSB has to go.

I don't think there's room for an impact unless you use a lot of extensions, I use two 17mm wrenches back to back to get the leverage.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

I put a Dorman tank in the M3. It was perfectly fine. Note that late model tanks are a little bit more of a crap shoot as you’re depending on the tank for a siphon setup, and they are inconsistent. Shouldn’t really matter with a street car, though.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison
