When House Republican leaders last week called off their final day of voting before the midterm elections and sent members home, they left behind a multibillion-dollar veterans benefits package they had once hoped would be a popular win to campaign on.

The sweeping bill, the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act, would devote critical resources to veterans benefits and programs — the kind of measure that lawmakers typically relish taking back to their districts to promote in their bids for re-election.

Instead, the legislation is stalled and on the brink of collapse, mired in a funding dispute that has divided the two parties, splintered Republicans and driven a bitter wedge between powerful veterans groups that normally band together when benefits are at stake.

The impasse grew so intense that last Tuesday, Democrats won enough support from Republicans to go around House leadership and force action on a piece of the bill — a long-shot maneuver to salvage a measure that supporters worry is now doomed anyway.

The centerpiece of the bill is a provision that would allow service members who retired from the military because of a combat-related disability to receive their full retirement pay, rather than having it reduced dollar for dollar by their disability benefits, as current law requires. It is known as the Maj. Richard Star Act, named for a combat-injured Army veteran who advocated the policy change after he was forced to medically retire because of cancer that he developed from toxic exposure during deployments to the Middle East.

Republicans demanded that the cost of such a change — an estimated $9.4 billion over a decade — be covered by cuts elsewhere, and settled on paring back disability compensation for future veterans with sleep apnea and tinnitus. But Democrats resisted the trade-off and dropped their support for the entire package, which also would include funding for dozens of other veterans programs, from suicide prevention to lactation rooms at V.A. hospitals. So did some Republicans, who blasted an approach that they said pitted veterans against one another.

“It is wrong and unseemly to take benefits away from a certain number of vets for a different group of vets,” said Representative Jeff Van Drew, Republican of New Jersey. “And I’ll tell you what: The veterans don’t like it.”

The proposed cuts, which lawmakers have estimated would save as much as $57 billion over a decade, created deep rifts in the veteran community. The American Legion and some other veterans groups urged Congress to back the package, in the interest of enacting the long-stalled Richard Star measure. But two other major veterans advocacy organizations — Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars — said they could not support a bill that would slash tinnitus and sleep apnea benefits and have lobbied lawmakers to fix the bill or drop their support.

I see so many of these floating around, which one would you say would work best on a 90' K5 Blazer (4x4)?

Heard people use them and get good results, has anyone tried them before? Been thinking about running it on my 85' 6.2 before an oil change.
