    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Hooked it up to the MTV and washed the outside to get the mold off and started to wash the inside. Got half of the inside done and will finish tomorrow I hope. Trailer is in good and for 670 bucks from Govplanet I think is was a good price for a storage trailer. Plus it was close to home at 45...

    Differential fluid leak at rear wheel

    We need to check lash any time we go bearing deep into the hub. I tell you what I know you have not been on the board very long but here is my offer. Small deposit to me for the tools and pay for the shim pack. I will send you the correct socket for the spindle nut, cut off face of the hub so...

    Resurrecting Oily Brake Shoes

    Myself "I" will not try and judge your moral compass but let me ask you this. If for some reason you do not care for yourself or others around you I ask you please to think of our furry and feathered friends just trying to cross the road. From the dog to cat or that flock of gray geese they need...

    Differential fluid leak at rear wheel

    Yea do not know why someone did that but stock was oil bath front and rear. Myself on the rears since we are working the hub rebuild and sealing the hub I want the mateing services to be clean. So I do not try and oil the bearing / gears on install. I just after installing the rear hub inject...

    Differential fluid leak at rear wheel

    The outer bearings are oil floating from the differential on the rears and added and just checked on the front. On the rears you could add to the hub as per the tm and then double check the level of the differential. If I remember right the diff. level was to be one inch lower than the fill...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    Just to add to the runaway thing. Always make sure the cable sheathing clamp is tight that holds the cable by the engine and stops it from moving when you pull the stop out in the cab. Also make sure the cable set screw stopper thingy screw is tight and I have seen when you can bend the cable...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    Yep good way to shut down a runaway Multifuel. But by just inspecting the fuel control unit assembly under the shut down cover you can stop the runaway before it even goes that far. On a truck that is use often and you have checked the fuel control and it is working free as it should it will not...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    When you say you tighten down the shut down cover or did you remove the fuel control assembly and tighten it down to tight? The shut down cover rod was not strong enough to overcome a stuck fuel unit control assembly or not hooked into the fuel control unit assembly correctly. What is the cause...

    fuel in crankcase

    Myself I always rotate the crank the same way the motor runs. If for some reason I pass the head marks buy just a little when I reverse rotation I go well past head alinement and then rotate the crank in correct rotation again and try and hit the head marks. Never had a problem on head removal...

    fuel in crankcase

    You know I am a big fan of your work and the 6BT swap plus the restore is fantastic. In the video you said we had to remove the four bolt timing advance window. You said for the head to come out it had to be 1/2 tooth off so we would be sure not to get the IP 180* off. Do believe we only have...

    Differential fluid leak at rear wheel

    All the seals are a 4 on the pain in the donkey to do. The setting up if the geared hub is a 7 to 8 on the pain scale if you have never done a hub set up. You will need a shim kit and I use a geared hub that has the face cut off to set the lash. Plus you need to make, buy or borrow the correct...
