So i just went on and confirmed that last time i ordered the valve i got the f101n, 1/2 x 20 unf threads. But for th life of me i couldnt get it to thread in, maybe a flaw in the manufacturing process? The threads looked fine but from what i remember they just looked too fine

I agree it does seem gimmicky but ive been curious for awhile about it. If it is junk ill only be out like $15. And if it fails im sure i would notice 7 qts of oil on the ground. Dont have too much time to go wheeling and when i do i take my atv.

So its that time again, time to change over oil for the summer. I wanted to try a fumoto valve but when I got the part in the threads were too fine. I ordered it based on the make model and engine. Called the manufacturer and they didnt know what the deal was so i returned it and got a refund...

From what ive read on the warn website when they started manufacturing winches after buying out belleview manufacturing, the models didnt correspond to the rated pulling weight. So the m6000 pulled 8k. It sounds like they were just underrated so eventually the models correspo ded to the power

So you think its a good find?

Found a warn belleview model 6000 on craigslist for cheap and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. Theyre rated at 8000 lbs. Just aeeing if its worth spending $200 on as opposed to apending a grand on a new one. Thanks in advance

Thanks warthog, reassembled and reinstalled the old one gonna go on and order that kit.

So I bought an alternator rebuild kit from napa.... it's the wrong one as I found out after taking the alternator apart. My question for everyone is, where can I get the right rebuild kit? And is it okay to drive the truck without this alternator? I figure it wasn't doing anything before and...

Lmao I tried adjusting it and hitting it with a hammer. Didn't work. I didn't wanna go to Starbucks either but it's the closest coffee shop and it's on the way to work. Still don't understand their menu. I just want a hot black coffee

Thanks for all the input everyone. Got the drum off, and it turns out it was the adjuster. Cleaned it up and lubed it and it seems to be good. Gonna take it over to the shop and torque that axle nut to spec. And inspect the front brakes for the **** of it.

Napa wanted to charge me $208 for a drum puller... also a no go lol

Sledge was a no go, ended up using a bottle jack, ratchet strap and a socket. Worked like a charm. Doesn't look like the shoes need to be replaced. Sprayed everything down with brake cleaner to get some of the brake dust out of there. Need to look at the adjuster and wheel cylinder

Thanks Gripy, got the nut off. Now just trying to get the stuck drum off

If all else fails I'll give it a shot Thanks for the input!

Hey everyone, So I live up in Alaska now and Mt M1028's passenger side drum brake seized up, in a Starbucks parking lot. Started working on it and come to find out to get the drum off I need to take the spindle nut out. Have yet to be able to find one in an auto parts store in the Anchorage...
