I have no reference material inside so I'll just pass this to anyone
interested.
Do any of these boots fit our GMC outer axles?

On page 117 of the EMPI list, it shows a 86-1064 boot.
NAPA # is 686-1064.
Must be the same?

David,

Makes sense to me!

That boot has one convolute where as the rest have multiple convolutes, I'm of the opinion that more convolutes are better as the
flexing is distributed over more of them.

What say you?

More is better is the downfall of many. But in this case more bellows is better. Mine have stayed on since going to that type.

If bellows are good, why did the original air bag last as long as they did?

David,

Sorry, I don't understand how an all neoprene axle boot relates to an air bag that has reinforcing layers of fabric.

Alright, So this thread went dead with no definitive answers.

Has anyone tried this EMPI boot. This is the correct number for a 1975 Toronado and a whole lot of other 60s and 70s GM cars. I assume it is good for our GMCs.

Both of my convoluted Dorman boots are leaking / broken. I'm thinking of trying one that looks more like OEM which this one does.

Ken,
I purchased a case of those back in late 2014 and sold the last of them at the Rapid City SD GMCMI convention. I have a few that I kept for myself and the part number on the box is 86-1064-D sold by EMPI. Comes complete with the boot, grease and the 2 clips. Haven’t heard of any issues with the boots.

I appreciate the help that you gave me on the WIFI unit in AZ. Ran out of time and didn’t finish it. I will get with you in December to see if we can finally finish it and get it working.

Thanks,

If we cross paths before then, we can try to configure it before you go back south.

Based on your recommendation I think I'll order 2 and try them. I was not happy when I found that leaking Dorman boot. The number that you supplied is the one I am looking at.

Not to hijack your thread, but anyone know the boot part number got the one ton? Is it the same as the Chevy 3500? I want to pick up a spare...
