Thanks, but be carefull of the painting bug, its as addictive as the performance bug. So far Ive done 47pieces paint & 159 in powdercoating. (5paint/8powder by shops)

x2 on replacing the broken wheel lug, its a disaster waiting to happen!
With a 180 thermo in my 5.9 it rarely went over 185deg. Sure you have a 180 in there?

It couldn't possibly be any easier, punch the old one through, put the new one in and slide some slightly oversize washers or a larger lug nut over it. Take one of your lug nuts and tighten it down until the new one is seated.
