Looks really cool!! What does the little crank winch do?

That's about what mine looked like when I changed them. I figured there 30 years old ,they run the brakes and the power steering so why not? I tow for long distances with my truck and It's cheaper and easier to replace stuff like this now then ah 100 miles from home and on the side of the road...

Here's how Mine is plumbed. The front line is (IN) from the lift pump, and the rear line is (OUT) to the injection pump. The thing on the left is an over priced fuel heater.

Here's mine with it's BBQ grill.....

Well if you have a pressure tester in place of the radiator cap , of course the pressure would build when you start and warm the truck:roll:. Your radiator cap is a pressure relief valve that opens at 16 PSI. The pressure tester doesn't... This is why you pressure test the system cold and with...

If you just want to sell your truck that's fine I understand. However I think your jumping to conclusions that it's a head gasket. For starters does the truck start hard, or run poorly? Are you getting steam out of the tail pipe? Have you pulled the glow plugs on that head to inspect them? have...

Just my personal experience and opinion, with, and of (Auto zone). Is that they offer sub standard parts and real you in with the promise of a "lifetime warranty". After several experiences with there parts failing over the years . The final straw for me was about 3 years ago when 2 different...

Yeah that's ah new one for me :???:. I think putting it in backwards (If even possible) would have blown it out the other way? Could just be old ,and the rubber got soft?

Just my 2cents, I personally would NOT hammer on my driveshaft period. I'd sink it in that vise with 1 socket smaller then the bearing cup on one side. And ah socket larger then the cup on the other side, put ah large pipe over the T handle of the vise, maybe heat it up as suggested if needed...

You shouldn't be pounding on your drive shaft! You need to use the vise you have there and 2 sockets to PRESS out the u-joint. Then you can press the new one in.

Thanks for the write up. I've had my Gear vendors in for about 4000 miles now but I haven't gotten around to installing ah tach. I drive 220 miles a day, at 80MPH. I haven't calculated the fuel mileage yet either, but round trip is about $52.00, or aprox 3/4 ah tank. It's definitely a must for...

Agree, mine was line X'ed when I got. It is VERY durable. However I drive mine on the highway for 4-6 hours a day. I will be installing the rubber floor mat with the sound deadener on the back.

Here's what I did with mine, I just attached it to the original filter bracket.......... I found all the fittings at ace hardware

Here that first link didn't work.........http://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-polycarbide-abrasive-wheel-60571.html

Yeah now the fun part begins. cleaning , then fitting of the panels. I recommend get about 10 of thesehttp://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-polycarbide-abrasive-wheel-60571.html.,... And ah gallon of...

This does work! I just finished it. It is ah little fiddly but now that I've done it once, I'm an expert. I was having the same problem as the OP , but it only started after I installed my gear venders unit. In the morning when the truck was cold it would get up to about 65MPH and then go...

Here's another option if your interested ..............http://www.buyaradiator.com/i-s-2098aa.html

I think the red "Dex-cool" thing has just about ran it's course. You really have to look for it on the shelf these days. I just use the green prestone mix with anything stuff with ah bottle of (water...

Better way to get out broken bolts and studs... Weld ah nut on top, then count to ten , then unbolt. The nut is so you can put a wrench on it. and the count to ten thing, is so the heat can saturate the stud so you can break it lose.

Are you sure it's "Twisted"? As I remember those van dipsticks are crazy long, fiddly, and I think they did have a twist to them. Can you post a pic?
