    2015 Sun Tracker 22 party barge trailer tire size

    I have the exact same boat and trailer. It is not with me right now but I am pretty sure its a 175/80/13 Even the load ranges C or D have a ton of margin. No need to do a load range E. That boat often sits on a single axle trailer with the same tires.

    Mercruiser 6.2's port runs rich

    You are going to need to specify which 6.2 you have. The newer Merc 6.2 or the older GM 6.2.

    Volvo Penta 5.7Gi Closed Cooling Question

    Those numbers are lower than mine are with a 7.4L engine. You do need to see what they are after running under load. BTW, with an IR thermometer, you want to be really close to the thing you are measuring the temp of. They have quite a wide angle so if you are too far away, you are getting an...

    1999 Volvo Penta 5.0GL / SX

    You likely have a BY or WT model . If you look at your model number, it will tell you. I actually have a set of PDFs for an LK which is before the BY.

    Hate to tell you this but I would just accept your $500 loss and find something different.

    New bearings: too much movement on spindle

    Just so you know, there is a GM car equivalent of these pads. I ordered a couple sets of pads from Rockauto for a LOT less money. Here is a link that shows what vehicles that are the same https://www.etrailer.com/question-332654.html

    New bearings: too much movement on spindle

    You can see what Kodiak pads look like. You are missing the clip https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Kodiak/K225CP.html?feed=npn&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fILClZrZJMIZd_lQr7SPpTyr6G-TE8_rXVRcoMnAfI52wQ1ip1EaddUaAmWaEALw_wcB

    New bearings: too much movement on spindle

    The one side that goes against the piston would normally have a spring clip on the back side of the pad which holds it to the piston. Looks like yours is rusted away. What does the other side of the caliper look like. It almost looks like a dexter caliper. If it is, it would say on it.

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    LOL Likewise. The fuel pump assembly fails. Instead of dumping fuel into the bilge, it sends the fuel to the TB assembly through a hose so the engine will burn it instead.

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    My point is that it doesn't matter if its TBI or MPI. Doesn't matter WHERE the injectors are. That fact doesn't matter. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    The same way it would on a TBI! No difference at all. Both would have fuel dumping into the intake sytem bypassing any injectors!!! A TBI system still uses injectors just like an MPI...they are just located in the TB itself. Dumping fuel into the TB just gets burnt up by the engine. Same thing...

    2007 Gxi-G 5.0 Rough Idle Issue

    A multiport fuel injection system still has a throttle body.

    1990 marine 4.3 CAM AND LIFTERS

    Out of curiosity, how did that drive shift out of gear with that auto distributor on there?

    Vortec or not?

    GM started to put Vortec on their engines in 96. Probably didn't hit marine until 97.
