GMC starter
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
......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.Keith
I keep telling myself, it's only money!

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.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
