I've checked the TMs and it basically says remove wiring, remove lower bolts, remove the end bolt and remove with jack. Well i have it loose, but i can't fit it out between the frame rail and the oil pan. I can't get enough of the pinion gear out of the bell housing to begin lowering it, when...

Just curious if anyone else got a letter from the defense logistics agency inspector general. My notice is basically making me aware that I cannot export the vehicle per the GP auction and end use certificate. It also says I have to keep records if I sell it. I just find it weird that I'm...

My truck has suddenly started leaking from the LF and RR spindles. The LR input seal on the geared hub is wet too. So i may be doing the input and output seals on all the hubs. I thought with all these leaks maybe I had a clogged vent line, but i can blow air from the rear hub vents, to the...

I was offroading and noticed the distinct sweet smell of coolant. The upper radiator hose split and there was a nice puddle underneath. I salvage some hose off a junk truck (thanks to the help of a friend i made out there), and was able to close the cooling system up again. The reservoir was...

I changed out my diff output seals, and while I was at it I also replaced the rear brake pads. I twisted and pushed the pistons back in until they bottomed out. When I put the new pads in and bolted up the caliper there was plenty of slack between the pads and the piston, which I took up later...

I found an unhooked cable that should be plugged into a spade connector on the driver side of the transmission. I'm assuming this is for the kick down? Any reason it may have been unhooked? Should I reconnect it?

Anyone replace this in the truck, does the steering gearbox have to come out? I read you have to remove the pittman arm, then the 4 bolts on the cover, then it should come off with the shaft.

I bought a hitch off ebay, I was pleasantly surprised at how heavy duty it is when I opened the box. Weighs a good amount and feels like its made of armored steel plate or something. Bolts right up where the pintle was. I don't plan on towing a boat or camper or anything, just wanted to have a...

Pinhole leak in the sidewall, likely from a thorn. Looks like I am going to be buying a new tire. I don't want to kill myself so I thought I would ask for help. I have read that I need to remove the valve core to make sure I have ambient air pressure, remove the 12 bolts, separate the two parts...

Broke halfshaft in the field. Broke the front left halfshaft at the outer cv joint. It's not flopping around so I threw it in high lock to drive on the dirt road back the pavement, at slow speed. So so what are my options ? Can I disconnect the front driveshaft and drive in H? Or will the...

Replaced my harmonic balancer (vibration damper) today. Picked up a Dorman balancer from the parts store and a balancer puller kit, and a steering wheel puller. Loosened the belts, removed the four bolts that hold the crank pulley on, crank bolt came off fairly easy (used two pulley bolts in...

The two green dash light bulb covers that I have are pretty bubbled/melted looking inside the walls and the light isn't passing through them too well, so I have very dim gauges. The bulbs themselves are bright, and when I remove the bulb covers I great nice looking white light shining into the...

I have noticed that I get a little oily fluid under my truck, which I have traced back up to the air cleaner dump valve, and confirmed a little of it inside the air cleaner housing. The fluid isn't ATF (thankfully), it is a clear-ish brown fluid. I had been thinking that it could be power...

I have a TSU that I was about to install today. When I went to remove the old glow plug controller, I found that it was overtorqued or seized into the crossover pipe. I went at it gently with a ratchet and big socket, couldn't move it, then put a breaker bar on the socket and slowly applied...

New set of glow plugs arrived yesterday and i went ahead and put them in today. 6 of the old ones came out with no issues, one of the old ones was swollen and the tip would not come out ( i had to break it off), the last one sheared by itself leaving the tip stuck (conveniently this was the one...

Just to play it safe, I thought I would ask the experts here what I can safely run in my tires. They are radial according to the tire.

I installed one of these guys on the back of the battery compartment, 300 amp rated. Is 300 amp enough?

I have a breather vent type deal on my oil filler. Do I need it? Should I have a plain cap on there? Does this mean it has excessive blow by and someone stuck it on there?

I was curious what brand/weight everyone is running in their trucks, preferences and opinions Engine Oil - 15-40w Transmission - DexronIII? Synthetic? Transfer case - DexronIII? Synthetic? Differentials - 80-90w (synthetic?) Hubs - 80-90w (synthetic?) Grease fittings - ? Brake - Power Steering -
