The H4 headlights from those military guys are a nice option. They are relatively inexpensive when compared to HID or LED and work great. Very happy with them so far. I was unaware of the harmonics at the lower idle. Mine is already set at about 800 and is very smooth.

Congratulations on a successful recovery with very little problems. Welcome to the green addiction, I hear you about free time to work on it but once you get going you won't want to stop.

Also finished my hood strut kit as well. Kit works very well and is solid. While I had my glovebox out I cleaned it up, gave that a fresh coat of paint, new stainless screws and gaskets on the box and the door. It is nice to have my door stayed closed now while driving.

Okay, got a few other things done today. Here are pics of my license plate holder.

It is amazing how much of a mess a small amount of oil can make and appear when it splashes around!!

You are correct and my oversight. Thank you very much Gringeltaube!! This is definitely something a lot of us benefit from and with the info you guys provided appears to a relatively easy quick fix for a persistent problem.

Dam, I think I speak for everyone here when I say thanks for an awesome discovery, research, repair, and write up. Awesome write up, thanks again. Glad to hear it was a successful endeavor.

Thanks for your reply, I just wanted to be sure about the part as there were many part numbers being tossed around in this thread. I appreciate the time and effort you put into finding the right seal and thank you for that. Also thanks as well about the answer for fill level. This is my first...

So which part number was the Viton? I just cleaned my underside good so I need to see if this is my culprit. If so I'll order it. Do I need to drain the transfer case at when removing this? Or does it just come right out with no issue? Thanks

Here is the paint can of the paint I used. Didn't get to finish my hood lift today. Plan on Thursday a.m. Degreased my motor undercarriage a bit and installed my lighted license plate holder from those military guys. Will get pics later.

Thanks Peashooter as I pan on repainting by end of the summer or early fall. I will look into that link.

Thanks for the heads up I'm looking at finishing it up with my sons this morning. The paint is Rustoleum 'camouflage' rattle can paint. I'll get the number off of it. It did match some of the lighter spots very well. I wasn't to worried about a perfect match as the truck does have a paint job...

I wish I had known. Would of rather of supported a member than an Ebay vendor.

Got them from a vendor on Ebay. Was $35.00 for the set but they worked great. It was the first time I had ever done the air compressor and the belt. A bit interesting tightening up that pulley for the belt, took a couple tries to get it right. Having the wrench set was a big help. I'm sure I...

Also started to install my hoodlift kit from SS member BBQROD. Have to say the kit is very well built and everything fit perfectly or rather the pieces I installed today did. Here are some pics of the pieces bfore and after paint, then installed. I will have the other parts installed and the...

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. Got some things done today. Removed my compressor to replace the base gasket. I had intended on removing the compressor mount as well and replacing that gasket also but there is one bolt down under the mount that I found I could not access as the...

Hang in there Dan, I know it is frustrating and I'm sure I can speak for most of us about it just not going fast enough. Unfortunately all of us are working on trucks that are generally 40+ years old and lacking in the maintenance and care department. Truck looks great and your efforts will be...

Would it be easier to use the 5.9 cummins radiator and shroud and fab up mount brackets for the radiator?

I understand your point. I did look at the unit this a.m. and it has the holes in the bottom for screwdrivers and such to go all the way through. It definitely looks like a repainted version. While I have to say it is a cool functional idea, if I had know of the harbor freight unit I likely...

Pretty much where I put the holes on my deuce. Without drilling the holes it is much too quiet for a deuce. With a couple small holes on sides, you don't even see them, it is much louder and fine for a deuce with a muffler. If you have a straight piped deuce that you need ear muffs to drive you...
