I've got some loud pops coming from the front passenger side when steering. I just replaced drag link and tie rods. I thought for sure new tie rods would fix it, but it didn't. Any ideas what else I should check?
Maybe drag link ends are shot? I just replaced them and also tie rods trying to chase a clunk. I fixed some clunks, but still seem to have a ball joint, shock or caliper thunking on the passenger side wheel. I also just recently fixed fuel pressure leak. After replacing the rubber fuel lines...
I just noticed a small transmission fluid leak at the pan a couple days ago. It doesn't drip on the pavement yet that I've seen, but it seems to be something I'm going to have to attend to at some point. In the mean time, I'll be checking this thread for thoughts.
Yeah, after putting everything together, I filled the oil in the differential back up. It was a little low, but not too much since I had just changed that oil a couple months prior. I didn't know at the time that the oil is supposed to be there. I should add that as an annotation to the video. I...
My truck was doing this on the rear tire. The problem turned out to be a leaky oil seal causing gear oil to splatter on the inside of the drum. It also would sometimes be stuck where that one wheel would drag or turn very slowly, feeling like the brakes were still pressed. I replaced the seal...
Dr. Frankenstein would be proud! Now to go plug it back in and see if it works/fixes my problem. In the pic, it looks like the bottom post might be shorted to the other trace, but it's not.
It's kinda hard to say... I'm thinking around the middle of the movie. It about had the full screen for just a second or two, so unless you look away at that moment, I don't think you can miss it. It was followed by 5 ton or deuce or something. I'm not familiar with those trucks to say with...
I was getting out of the truck just now and noticed a little new (as in wasn't there before) blue something on the floor. Picked it up and it was a cap! Pulled the card and there's an empty spot for it. The cap looks in good shape so if I can determine which side is (+) as indicated on the...
Batman Vs Superman - No Spoilers
I don't want to spoil the movie, but there's a quick scene with a CUCV in it! I guess it's either a M1008 or M1028. I don't know anyone else that cares, so I had to post it here. ;)
While driving, after the truck should already be warmed up, the glow plug relay will click on for a few seconds, then click off. Sometimes it will click on/off repeatedly very rapidly with the voltmeter needle bouncing all over the place. I see the voltmeter dropping about 12v's which is what it...
Thanks for the info! I found out that these parts cannot be picked up at NAPA, but instead need to be bought from a 4x4 store. I managed to find the parts I'm looking for at ORD.
Needing to replace some parts and I haven't been able to find them. From what I can tell, I need both tie rod ends or drag link and two other parts that look like tie rod ends that attach to the pitman. I can't find these and neither can NAPA. I'm trying to browse the CUCV parts manual, but...
Here's how I attempt to turn it off. The last time I talked to them, they said run transmission fluid through it. As much as I hoped it would, that didn't work. I did email Billy Williams, but got no reply. That's when I called the first time...
