It COULD be a difference in spring height? Maybe the truck with the Firestones has new springs on it, therefore the truck doesn't sag as much? Just a thought...

I took the meaning of the thread as... "Why did this happen?" and "How do I keep it from happening again?". If I were the OP, that's what I'd be wanting to know. Not just how I can get out of the ticket and be on my way. I've learned tons just by reading what everyone has to say here.

If I get the time to finish working on mine, I'll have my Deuce there too.

If anyone's interested, my number is 502-271-0931... Aaron

I had an issue with the wipers on mine too, they were just stuck. Pull off the cylinders, open them up and squirt a little air tool oil in there. My wife wasn't too happy when I got mine either, lol. I bought my truck as my first anniversary present to myself... but I got a trip to Gatlinburg...

There's a guy down here selling 5-ton axles on craigslist. I believe he wants $1300 for all 3 axles.

Sounds like you have a locker... no problems.

The biggest thing I can't figure it out is what size tubing I need. I think we have the same idea. I'm interested to see what you have so far.

I move a lot of automotive engines (over 700lbs). I'm looking for something that can do at least 750lbs. That's not a bad idea, but I'm not sure the mount and lift would be strong enough.

That's the set up I was looking for. I knew I'd seen it somewhere.

You take it to a machine shop and they do something similar to the flywheel as they would to plane heads or a block I presume.

While I was working my mundane job the past couple of days, I got to thinking. I often have heavy things I want to get into the bed of my truck. I don't have a suitable tree to lift with and nothing that can lift high enough from the ground. I've also been trying to figure out a way to fix my...

I'm just going to use the engine hoist then. You have a lot of rep around here Recovry, I'd almost take your word as gold, lol.

That's what I was thinking of doing, but pulling the trans out if it'll lift that high. I was going to do a dry run first before hooking it up to see if it'd work. Maybe even just sit it on the passenger side floor board.

I have to get in there and change my rear main as well. I know that it's bad and I suspect that it soaked my clutch and made it fail prematurely. I'm also going to assume that the flywheel will need resurfaced, almost positive of it. I'm just hoping the pressure plate is in good shape. I'm...

Your second picture answered another question I had. I wasn't sure if I needed to unbolt the transmission itself or the "adapter"? from the block. How heavy would you guess the tranny is? I'm going to check Harbor Freight for that hoist. I don't have the money to spare, but I might pick one...

Well, let me begin by saying this is the first major wrench I've actually put to my truck. It was ready to drive other than putting fuel in the truck when I bought it. It threw the water pump belts about 50 miles into the pickup trip. Other than now, that's been all it's needed. I downloaded...

Google says it's 12.7 miles (about 21 minutes) from KCR.

I normally get to the show at about 7:30 to 8am. Walk around and check it out until about noon. Lunch takes place by noon, I'm normally starving by then anyway.

This looks like your truck, it was seen in downtown Louisville by a member from another board. Can you confirm? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/zumchikara/_MG_6885.jpg
