You are aware that the timing is advanced along with the idle raised during warmup aren't you? The advanced timing will cause a louder than normal rattle but only during warmup. If it is after this time period then there is a mechanical issue and if it is intermittent I would lean towards the...

Couple of ideas, I have seen a lot of 6.2 and 6.5 lifter problems. Mine has one that will tap like **** sometimes. Very seldom it will lose power on the one cylinder. I have just been too lazy to change it, I do not drive the truck that much any more but it has been that way for many thousand...

You know darn well that if it is the same mechanic that is checking for block leaks that did the head gaskets then he already knows what is leaking and he is not going to admit he screwed up. I would also vote for head related, more specifically head gasket repair related hence the reason he is...

Well it definitely looks like a modified starter solenoid. You can see where the housing and been modified by adding the mounting plate and what looks like the boot end of a power brake booster and probably the brake rod. The welding is REALLY sloppy, sort of like coat hanger type of welding so...

I was not going to get involved in this thread since I am not a gunship pilot. I am not a chopper pilot at all. What I am is a ground pounder that had his sorry butt saved on several occasions by gunships in Vietnam. NOW, I am NOT putting anyone down here period. I will say that I have known...

Bingo! You know exactly where I am coming from. That is a part of my job I am not crazy about and I will always give a second chance, no third time charm though. If you are too stupid to figure it out by then............................. And do not even use me as a reference! The guy I mentioned...

:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted: Just make sure that the stuff that is being used on the truck is not being paid for be a job order at work!!!! Would hate to see someone lose their job just to bling their truck. Actually I not only have seen it I was the one that had to fire the...

Check out post #46.

Just curious why you needed the trailer? That is a lot of trailer to haul around just fore the genset. I just slid mine in the back. Rick

I have noticed over the years I have been on here that you are the first to jump on someone regardless what the situation. Is there some reason for that? He had an emergency and perhaps it was worded incorrectly but other than that it was both informative and also asking advise. I drove a truck...

Well you know how subtle I can be.;-)

Dang Mark, You got some nice looking legs there kneeling down next to your car. :lol: Race training does have its advantages. It has saved my butt on more than one occasion. Rick

Just got the same garbage. F*** them! Yuppie a**holes!

I agree, lose the unistrut! A fist class job needs fist class materials. Then fix the bumper! Rick

OK, I do not own a 900 series truck so I am no expert but do they not have a maxibrake type of system where when you lose all air the rear brakes lock up? In Divermans case it sounds like only one axle applied and he was able to over ride it. Might want to look into that! I will not debate the...

Carnac, I missed the NOS water cans at Gilbert, are you going to have any here? Rick

Got it. What do you want to bet there are a ton of washers missing from the bolt bin.;)

Why are you guys all talking about spacers? I am looking at the amount of hub sticking out of the wheel and it is the same as a standard wheel so no spacers there. Why do you need the spacers anyway? Rick

I belong to a couple of camper forums and there are a lot of Canadian members and they will tell you do NOT try to take guns into Canada! Even the law enforcement in the border towns have to turn their guns in to Canadian authorities and get issued guns from Canada for there time there even if...

The interference on mine was on the frame where the main rails of the hitch met the frame. The support for the tie downs or the pintle support, one or the other, interfered by a little bit so I had to grind off just a little of the side of the hitch mount. My pintle is still mounted. I also...
