I understand what you are saying. I am just puzzled that the same issues is still present with new major parts installed. Could it be the timing chain? I never dealt with that as most of the vehicles I dealt with were years newer and less mileage then what is coming on market now. And back then...
I have ask this before and you may have answered. Did you go front to back on the fuel system? I mean in the tank and trace every feed line and every return line. Few times do I do a major repair and change major parts only to find that the pre-existing issue is still present with the same...
OK , we are talking minor weight differences. Spare tire included, jack in place. 6TL batteries vs group 31. Fair enough. Close enough. I will give you scrap price for 3 tons and we can forget about the 323 lbs. You win.
Really a $69. rebuilt torque converter and you are going to risk the whole job? Spend the coin and move on with confidence and not doubt. There is more than $69. worth of ATF in that transmission. Any job worth doing is worth doing right the first time. Money is a tool. Use it wisely. Good Luck.
On a CUCV all the TH400 cases and internal parts are the same. I have had many that had HD embossed on the bell housing section and many more that did not. The HD is the bottom half of the bell housing is threaded with M10 bolts for the lower flexplate/ flywheel cover. I have bought new TH400...
Get the bolts and washers out of the clamping plate and retain them. What about up on the frame the clamping clamps? One on each frame rail up front. I have the sway bar. Get back to me about the retainers for the sway bar. Again take some pictures.
I agree. I was doing the change to avoid the corrosion and failures on the plow truck. After spending a few times up under a plow truck at -10* in a snow pile doing in line splices I decided this was the better way. So far I have it on 3 plow trucks and have never had any issues. These trucks...

I had people on this site say they wouldn't hold up. They said the heat was to high. I prevailed and 3 years later they still look the same. Granted I haven't done any interstate driving but pulling wood trailer and plowing snow in my world creates more...
Mr. Rusty has been serviced and released for another year of hard work. And YES the hydraulic hoses I used as transmission cooler lines still look like the day I installed them. High and dry. I ran them over top of the transmission. Meet Mr Rusty | Page 13 | SteelSoldiers
SSDVC I thought I gave you that tool. I used to buy them on the Snap-On truck for like $8. and give them to friends that had the cowl screen all chewed up from using pry bars and screw drivers to remove the arms. WTF. The truck in the picture was repainted and they did not even bother to...
Mr. Rusty has returned. I have him here for annual maintenance and Mr. Rusty rusted more over the past year. Mention was made by a friend that they would like to have this truck and do a frame off on it. I looked at him and said GOOD FLUCKING LUCK. I had it apart 7 years ago and the frame was...
What happened to small town auto parts stores? At one time a man could go to work and come home from work eat supper and stop and buy some auto parts up till 7PM. Saturday you were good till 2. Now the parts stores are down to one in the town, and they close at 5 M - F and 12 on Saturday. People...
Did you try to move the injection pump to the driver's side 2-line thicknesses? You have nothing to lose. I thought it was crazy and I done it on my M1009. It ran perfect.
I have a stock sway bar if you need one. I hope they saved the brackets and did not torch the bolts out of the clamping plates. If they did I have them also. Time to liquidate. 1 piece at a time.
Do you need that return line that runs across the front of the timing cover connecting the return lines from both heads? It has a nipple on top also. I have it. Let me know your plan.
