I did the filter and fluid change first thing when I got her but I,ve had tranny fluid leaking from some mystery place and it seems to end up on the front drive shaft I was told it might be pump seal, or grommet for the dip stick tube?? I gave up dumping fliud in there and it seems to be ok...
well I've put a little over 5000 miles on my truck and changed the oil a few time "once just recently" starts great, runs a little ruff at idle and smothes out when you rev it up, accelerates good, I had to buy an oil cap because the rattle can was lettin smoke out like crazy!! if I take the cap...
5 of em just closed auction last thursday out of camp pendleton, who knows you might see one of em on e-bay soon enough!! check the http://www.govliquidation.com/ web site now and then.
If your'e talking about a np203 t-case that is a full time transfer case meaning you have to keep the hubs locked up all the time or you will wear out the internals, I think there are kits available to make it a part time t-case but I don't know who maybe off road design, the 203 has a...
I have thought about dragging home an cucv carcas to have at for spares but I think the day that happens will be the last thing I ever do, women just don't understand!! :shakehead: . I'll look around for the braided lines, the hydraulic lines sound cool but I don't know of any shops in my area...
my oil cooling lines are beggining to leak at the rubber to metal connection. I have heard that this is a common issue, has anyone found a good solution to this problem!!!
the temperature switch on the glow plugs is set to open when the coolant is 125 degrees or so, "it may be higher than that, but I'm sure its close to that" meaning that it wont stop the plugs from operating unless the switch opens and turns off the glow plug system. This info might be...
did you check to make sure that you have at least five working glow plugs, some plugs can burn out quiker using a manual switch and sometimes the dropping ressistor "on the fire wall" will cease to funcion and it will let the whole 24 volts through and fry the plugs "remember this a plug doesn't...
I keep telling everyone that the military glowplug system can be problematic and if it starts acting up to replace it with a bypass relay switch "if your cheap" or you can update it with the civy controler and change out the tang connectors for 1/4" glow plugs. I drive my truck everyday, and...
Gees I wonder how many moved up a rank just from this thread alone!! :eyes: :lol: I do have to say I think the ranking system is cool and am enjoying my new seargent status, It makes one feel slightly more dignified (did I spell that right??) [^] and does encourage more posting, like this...
ok I do remeber someone telling me that about the propelent in wd-40, and I also remember pulling swollen 13g plugs "that realy sucks :jumpin: " I guess if the system was working right there would be no need for such nonsense!! :lol: the conversion cost about $140 dollars, ($65 new...
first off if your thinking of traveling with this truck then I can tell you that you'll need to do something about the top speed! 4.56 gears and 32" tires will be winding the engine up even at 55 and the result will be poor fuel economy. secondly being broke down on the road without the proper...
the np208 t-case is not a bad case the 2.62 low gear ratio is rescpectable and its aluminum case is alot lighter than a 205 but that doesn't make it weak the skid plate undr should ward off 99% of the potential damage you can inflict. the only reason I can see for running a 205 is if you plan...
first off using starting fluid is not recomended, I think it has a much lower flash point and can cause pre-detonation in the cylinders, w-d40 is a good alternernative. sounds to me like you got some glow plugs burnt out, take a multimeter set for ohm's and put one lead on the flat tang of...
that is one clean truck, don't think you'll actualy be off roading with it ?? I have had similar probs with my glow plug system so I just replaced mine with newr style civy 12v setup because I am converting to 12v, *see glow plug update but I think you'd be better off puttin this one up for a...
