    Seriously?

    Not only packing them tighter, but since everyone is now allergic to everything and it causes some type of disease or cancer, they are no longer powdered to prevent sticking while lubricating them for removal from the box.

    Difficult to diagnose. 2002 2500 several problems.

    What does it sound like, i.e. old tractor, sounds normal? Lift pump putting out, did you change under hood filter? Check the harness plugs on top of the engine to see that none of the pins are pushed back. As mentioned check engine light and codes? How many miles on the truck? Does it have...

    Dynamite oval pattern injectors

    I have several different anti seize compounds depending on what I am putting it on. High temp stuff gets put on most things as that seems to be what I have the most issues with. I don't think I have any Copper based, But I have not used any in a while since not working on things like I used...

    Dynamite oval pattern injectors

    Reverse the idea and weld the nut on the back side see if it will come out that way. I think I have a driver side manifold in the barn off one of my trucks. Would have to look and see.

    Dynamite oval pattern injectors

    You might need to weld 2 or 3 nuts on there to drive the heat down inside that stuck fastener to try and break it loose. Another thing you can try is heating the outer edge of the flange quickly in an effort to open the hole up some.

    The pumps typically have higher filtration than the stock, so I left mine in place SHOULD it be required to bypass the lift pump. I think the stock filter had 30K on it. I do change it but it's more of that one more line of defense should water get past the lift pump or the lift pump grenade...

    truck towing pictures...

    I had that happen on the '04. Luckily I was running the AirDog and pulled into a parts store, grabbed a couple of 90's, couple of barbs, and a close nipple to make a bypass so I could get home and rebuild it.

    Harmonic balancer puller for 6.6

    Those work great for certain applications. In the auto world, I can imagine belt alignment becomes the issue. Right now the balancer pulley bottoms out on the crank aligning the belt grooves with the rest of the accessory pulleys.

    What did you do to your home/shop today?

    There are a couple of members of a camper forum I am on that use LA vs LI batteries for inverters. Keeping the amp draw in range is part of the equation, the other is maintaining voltage. Typically the capacity given for a battery is 2x what the safe discharge limit is. Keep battery voltage...

    AC issues

    Have you checked the cooling fan on the engine for engagement? Also with the recent heat wave in the south, AC systems are struggling. I suggest you check the stack just to be certain something did not get in there and plug up the air flow. One other thing to check is temperature differential...

    Clunking in 4wd Forward or reverse...about every 5 feet (lb7)

    if you are still looking I ran across these guys a while back when looking for parts: http://www.transfercases.com/transfer-case-models.htm#Chevy i think you can get the whole thing cheaper than someone rebuilding yours.

    What is the number 1 thing you have done to make your truck tow better?

    1st thing was learn to keep my foot out off the floor board. After that, 18 gallon boat tank feeding the small 26 gallon tank in the LBZ. I had already upgraded the intercooler.

    Converting very old trailer hubs to modern bolt circle?

    Those are old Ford rims. You can probably pick up a set at the local pull a part off just about any 1980's or older model. One other thing would be to see if you can have the hub re drilled for a larger bolt pattern. Not ideal, but until you can either change the axles (could be cheaper and...

    COOLANT IN AIRBOX WHILE TOWING 5TH WHEEL : TRK TOOK A SH!$

    I thought about the EGR also, but the location of the EGR is POST CAC (Intercooler) so to get coolant back UP the intake into the airbox would be quite a challenge. Hard upper hose as mentioned is usually a good sign of head gaskets. Best of luck to him. Hopefully he makes it home and has no...

    HELP!!! TRUCK ONLY RUNS ON ALL 8 WITH VALVE COVER OFF

    Lucky enough to heavenly Luckily I have only been under the valve cover 1 time. Was just a thought. I would think if the injector is up that far, there is something else going on there. As mentioned, double copper washers at the bottom?

    HELP!!! TRUCK ONLY RUNS ON ALL 8 WITH VALVE COVER OFF

    Isn't there a baffle on the bottom side of the valve cover for the PCV? I don't remember when I had my LLY apart, but for some reason I am remembering there is something on the bottom of the cover. Is it possible that if there is an internal piece it has become deformed? Also, the reason for...

    Flatbed trailer uprating/rebuild

    Yeah the center mounted tend to get abused. That's why I want one of the twist lock ones. Pull it out when hitched and stick it in the box. With your skills, easy enough to add a plate behind the hitch head for it. No they are not cheap, but by the time you put in 1 or 2 jacks, it pays for...

    Flatbed trailer uprating/rebuild

    You should look at adding https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200709033_200709033 for the jack mount or a center drop jack like on GN trailers.
