For bolts broken by overtightening I've had good luck with useing a sharp center punch and a hammer, place punch near threads and tap at an angle in a counter clock wise direction. I've also had good luck useing a LEFT hand drill bit, it will usaully grab the bolt and unscrew it.
My 1008 runs like a raped ape too. I know if I was raped I might want to run fast but doubt I could! I'd probably run like and old heavy under powered M1008!
Umm, fuel pump not maintaining pressure? Fuel filter plugged, fuel line crushed? Any or all would cause it to run fine for a bit then on long pulls lose power.
I too am ASC certified and ICAR trained, I spent over 20 years in collision shops and I have never seen a oil cooler leak into the rad UNLESS it was damaged in an accident.
So we can put that to rest, now if you want to separate them for cooling purposes then that's a different story!

Years back we had to paint all the tracks and wheeled vehichles in the moter pool, we did it in a round robin. Station one was the wash rack, two they got a grease put on all lenses, three got OD green, ectra. In some cases the drivers never got out! All was done in no time and with good...
Bearings will have no effect, the drag link may be the problem, have you checked the ride height? If the left spring sags that's going to change the ride height and just like if you put a lift kit in changes the angle of the drag link and that will move the wheel off center.

I've had rear main seals leak twice on 6.2s and both seemed to leak when the engine was warm and run at highway speeds. No easy fix if it is the rear main, hope that little bit of info helps find the problem.
Hmm, I know I'm old and don't remember some things buuuut I don't remember EVER having to remove the arm to change a ball joint! Just like I never removed the whole knuckle at the ball joints to remove the axle yet some people do.
That spring being bent shouldn't change the position of the steering wheel.This defantly "old school" but try taking a long string tied to hitch, exhaust pipe whatever then go around the center of one rear tire up to the front tire keeping the string close to the center of all 4 tires. What you...
Your on the right road but your kinda getting ahead of yourself, now that you know you have a problem you now need to find exactly where it is. To do that you need to start by taking some X measurement's from the same place on one side the repeating the SAME place on the other side. Lets say you...
