Will do. Thanks.

Yes, you are right. The large nut holding the whole thing on to the side of the transmission was very loose. I didnt see that at first. Tightened it up, and good as new. Glad the whole thing didnt fall off. Thanks!!

I am having trouble with my shifter. Something seems loose in the steering column, and I cant get the transmission to go into park. It only gets to reverse when the shifter is in the park position. Nothing wrong with the linkage in the hood and by the transmission. The problem seems to be in...

Here is the oil pan magnet. There was some sludge sticking to it.

Hello cucvrs, I posted a photo of my transmission magnet, but it didnt append your message. It went to the end. Do you see it?

transmission magnet Hello, here is a photo of the magnet. I didnt see any varnish, but there was sludge sticking to the magnet. I think it needed changing. Do you use dexron 3? I read a post where a guy was saying to use type F fluid. I checked the temp of the pan with an infrared temp...

Thanks. Will do.

I dont have a gauge(where would I install a temp guage?), but it feels hot and it smells hot, hotter than its ever been before. Can you describe the slippage I should look for a little better? I go from drive to reverse, what should I be looking for? A delay and hammering? I think I do have...

I am towing a drag with my M1008 to groom a dirt strip runway. The drag can get up to a couple thousand pounds when filled with dirt. I pull it in 4 wd low range, in 1st gear, so I am going pretty slow. It doesnt seem like much of a load on the engine, but after about 45 min, I can feel my...

you should see how much the Mexican trucks smoke on the California freeways. I have seen some just belching out black smoke, and they are allowed to do it because of NAFTA I think. Sorry, off subject.

Hello, finally got my truck back on the road. Machining the heads cost me $500. I probably should have gone with 2 new heads for $1000 on ebay. I guess I will soon find out. Thanks for all of your help. Next time should be a breeze.. By the way, I found a piece of grounding braid hanging out...

Found it on another post. 9128PT is the .010 over Felpro head gasket that you use if he heads have been shaved. My heads were shaved.

Hello. Happy New Year. I got the heads back from the shop. The guy told me I need to use a thicker head gasket because he shaved the heads. The number he gave me is OReilly 9128 PT. Does this sound right?

Yes, got the pump out. Is it possible to turn the engine without removing injectors? Do I need to turn it in a particular direction?

I got the vacuum pump loose. If I remove it, will the orientation get messesd up? I was able to salvage my hose clamp. Merry Christmas!.

We have been have an unusual amount of rain the past few days. I need to get the 30 mm wrench. I did remove the bolt and the metal plate at the base of the vacuum pump. I will try the vice grips.

yes, that the one. where did you buy that? I am going to soak down the vacuum pump with penetrating oil. I am not sure how it is connected. Can I put some twisting force on it? Having trouble with some of the nozzles. The whole injector wants to turn. I am going to try to put some vice...

The vacuum pump is frozen solid. I cant move it. Where do you buy the fuel line clamp that is on the right rear of the engine? I noticed there is no hole in the intake for the EGR port. The port is full of carbon. Why is this?

This is where I got to. Now labelling the pipes before I pull them off.

got it. thanks.
