Sorry, this is the same thing I just said, but upon re-reading it, it comes across in a tone that I really don't like. I've just got to say it a little differently. Before you talk with the fellow, follow up on some of what was mentioned here. Don't count on his smarts, count on yours... If...

If I'd known you were going to do that, I'd have finished what I started. I was going to quote the diesel supplement talk-up and address it point by point. That got LONG... There were about three sentences that did not have something wrong with them to set off red flags... Have you read this...

Driving while ability impaired. Lots of states have two "levels" of DUI laws, with DUI and DWI. This is a third, lower tier law. They need only prove that your ability is compromised at some level, even if you can still walk the line and follow the flashlight.

OK, who would you like to hear from then? If you want unsupported, undocumented testimonials (<-- look up the implications of that as it applies to advertising), then you already have that. They've provided it for you. If you want to consider the product based on it's merits, then a rational...

Refute which claim? Which product on that web site are you proposing is a benefit to the MV hobby? The dude's all over the map...

Axial runout isn't such a bad thing, but I would imagine it's hard to get that without getting a little radial runout as well. .060 is pretty much where they consider it unable to work satisfactorily with modern tires and suspensions. I think most of the NDT's have more than that built into...

Well, let's see... Starting with the additives for both gas and diesel engines, Statements made that when you look back again are worded so that you can not actually challenge the statement. The factual nature of some of the items presented so as to sound like facts are off the wall. The factual...

Make sure the winch drum has NO tension on it. It sticks into a very shallow hole, the slightest sideways pressure will put it into quite a jam. Likewise, if you can wiggle it sideways a bit, you may be able to loosen it.

There was a great drawing put up by gringeltaube on this very subject if you are into searching for it. It clarified in simple terms as to why it is preclusive (not impossible, but preclusive) to install a seal that is adequate to contain gear oil in a hub and axle assembly that was not...

If something's different than a civvy truck here, somebody say so, but I see two things not mentioned- Check the front universal joints. Turn the wheel all the way one way or the other, lift either front tire, and rotate the wheel, look for the joint to be binding. Lots of alignment shops miss...

No stainless here... Burst strength is not an issue in this system, chaffe resistance is better than "regular" brake hose these days, but nowhere near so much as it was in times gone by. It's not a "bad" bend at all, but the line does bend a good deal with steering, and stainless does fatigue...

First, my quick saab story.... Out of work early, I'm all set to go for a drive to nowhere. I've got about a hundred and twenty mile loop planned out. I seldom get to do stuff like this... I took the top off and everything before I did my pre trip, and the ONLY reason I looked underneath...

Same as with your light bulbs. Volts sets the "pressure", resistance sets the "flow". With the bulbs, you can envision a twelve volt bulb is going to be a bright sun of a gun for about five seconds... A battery provides resistance to a circuit that is "powered" by a higher voltage source...

Yes there is... Dig out your non-led test light and find a 24 volt bulb for it, find a 24 volt test light, or rig up some wire and a light bulb. Clamp the clip at the post under the hood you would like to test, stuff the light through the windshield, and use the probe to ground at a data plate...

Top gear in a non-overdrive transmission is direct. Fifth gear in the overdrive transmission occupies the physical space that would be utilized for fourth gear in a non-overdrive transmission. The remaining gears in the overdrive are divided so as to get you to direct in four steps in the...

When a V-band clamp joins a joint with flat mating surfaces, a gasket should be used. The gasketless ones have a tapered mating surface to make the seal. That said, they almost always work just fine without the gasket. Make sure it's a clean and flat joint. Further, in an exhaust such as...

You will not get the tap to the bottom of the hole. If you get two thirds of the threads covered with a heli-coil, you'll still have a stronger thread than the original. You'll probably end up somewhere in that neighborhood, maybe a smidge less. Heli-coils with the way they work are very...

Get a couple of compression nuts and ferrules, and a piece of clear line. Install between the number six and number five injector. Start the engine. Watch for excessive bubbles. Next, switch your clear line to the position between four and five. Repeat until you find the offender. Flow in...

My understanding is that there is only one wiper arm, so i think that this is valid advice... Yes, they interchange. My truck came to me with the "right hand" style, with the extra hole in the hook. I believe (don't know...) that the hole is for a cotter so it can not come loose. The "left...

First off... I've got to agree with the other posts, that some time in the TMs is going to be a very big benefit. Personally (everybody picks up things differently), I found the parts TMs to be a valuable resource to figure out how the inside's work, and THEN the operator's TMs became much...
