Anti-seize or Locktite?
When reassembling the chassis what do I use? Dry or wet? Anti-seize or Locktite? I'll probably never take it apart again.

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
well if you are 150% sure a part is staying there for good use Red/blue locktite. White is absolute overkill and hard to find to boot.
Anti seize: in the event it comes off it doesnt snap! is good when applied to parts that get extremely hot then cold again to provide a barrier from the interlocking parts. also very helpful when mixing metals. ie Aluminum to steel or steel to stainless because they never seem to get along either.

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
Zinc( no rust) plated bolts torque to factory specs, no lock tite needed.

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
don't know how it will be in 40 years but I used grade 8 bolts from tractor supply with lock washers. Used anti-seize on the bolts for the leaf springs...

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
No not yet. For my bro's truck. He lives in FL now. So I can do almost anything I want with his truck as long as he says ok.
But but but, my mom has paid me 80$ and is about to give me 150$ (total of 230$) for my grades and my persistence in asking for money and a truck. And my dad got a new job with an old friend managing her Bed and Breakfast. She has a farm and needs a new roof and tons of other stuff. Luckily I have done shingles before(the right way). And I have been working for her for years. And the town gave her 200,000$ for 4 acres of land needed to extend a local main road. So I should have a truck in the next month or so. I'll probably get the 72' up the road from me. Or an S-10 for parts runner. Anyone know of a 1993-2004 S-10/Blazer for 2000$ or less in the NC area?

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
I think my service manual has a lot of torque specs in the back. Most are based on the size of the bolt...

Re: Anti-seize or Locktite?
you should be able to get them at just about any good hrdware store. now all sizes you might want to find a local "Fastener" shop.
