I went yesterday and found a puller set that will hopefully work. I will try it on the parts truck first and if it works good it should work on my truck. I will also post pictures of my tie rods and shaft as it sounds like you guys have the upgraded version of them. Here is a picture of the...
Well I thought I tracked down a tierod shaft for the truck but when I went to go pull it off the parts truck it was different. Instead of the threads being on the outside of the shaft they were on the inside. I guess I will use a tierod end puller to get them off and and replace it all in order...
Yesterday I drove my truck through water up to the tires not that I wanted to but that I had to. Mine has the fording kit on it and it did fine but I will have to check all the fluids and make sure no water got in anywhere. The air cleaner got under water and I saw no sign of water entering it...
I will take some pictures whenever I go and fix it. Whenever I was looking at the tierod shaft it looks very light duty and is very thin especially around the threads. You think for the size of truck it is on it would need to be really strong. It seems like a weak link in the steering system. We...
My family and I went camping out in the gila national forest with our m925a1 AKA Kong. Apparently it has been raining really good up there and it decided to pour while we were there. The first night it just sprinkled for about 3 hours so it wasn't too bad, then the next morning we were on our...
I also just took it on a 30 minute test drive an it did a very good job on cooling the cab down even though I have a soft top. Tomorrow I will try testing and seeing the actual temerature coming out of the vents.
I finally finished! I took the dash apart and started making some vents for the a/c. I came up with an idea as to still have the defrost work. I took some plumbing parts which direct the "waste" a certain direction. I will try to describe it but it is in the picture. The air coming from the fan...
They charged $900 for the wiring and charging and they only charged me for 8 hours of work insstead of the real 20 hours they put into it. I guess it helps knowing them! The unit was 500 and a bracket for the compressor was 300. Plus probably around 100 in hardware and vents and 200 in hoses...
I got my truck back today and it blows ice cold air! Everything on the system is working just fine and the compressor cycles like it is supposed to. The guys that were wiring up the truck said it was a pain in the patooty to do. They had to make all new harnesses and new relays but they finally...
The problem with the air filter is that there is not a direct replacement out there. I would suggest just blowing it out and making sure it is clean. As for the oil the plateon the dash says something like every 6 months or 6,000 miles if I remeber correctly. Im not sure how much you plan to...
Fuel filter is NAPA 3401. All you can do to keep these trucks running good is just keeping up on your prevenative maintenance and excercising them fairly often. I have a record of when I do my maintenance and usually about 1-1.5 months I grease all the fittings. About every 2-3 months I check...
Hi welcome to the site. Your fuel problem sounds like a blockage of some sort, but not really an air leak. If it had an air leak you would think it wouldn't run after 5 minutes. I would suggest changing the filter and going from there. When it is running can you rev it up and does it have a...
I had the same problem about a month ago. I could unlatch it from the inside but not from the out side. What I did was take the assembly out and then take the part that holds the rotating thingy and take it off so I could get to the mechanism Then I did a small tack weld on the part where the...
If it has lockers when ever you coast around a corner or just let off the throttle you should hear a small clunk in the rear end. This is the sound of the lockers disengaging.
My unit is not complete yet. I have it charged up but the wiring is not completely done yet. I will take it to my friends shop where he will finish the wiring. He said he needs to make a small harness to connect to main power and make a bracket to hold a few relays for the system. After I get it...
