I believe the sound differance that I've encountered was from the IP timeing, if the pump timing is advance a bit you get more power but go to far and it sounds like the engine is coming apart add in the cold advance and it gets REAL loud! Try unplugging the cold advance and see if that quiets...

That seems to be correct, the over load springs I had IIRC had two leaves above the spacer and the center bolt I THINK went all the way thru. But its been awhile.

Looks like fun, when someone else is doing it!

Unless you hit something and bent the frame the above is the most likely cause. The rubber bushing that go in the front shackles is available at NAPA for about $20

I like the concept but that's a bit on the pricy side! Good thing I have a welder and bandsaw :) , I think I just found a new project

Especially if it's running!aua DOH!! and I knew better!

You said you changed the fluid, but have you checked the fluid level? Sounds stupid but even the simplest things get overlooked. If it's full and the problem persists I'd think of adding a bottle of Lucas tranny additive, I'm not a fan of snake oil additives but I have gotten results from Lucas...

WOW! At first I thought the lock nut failed and the nut just unscrewed itself but then I enlarged it and saw that that the bearing must've failed and somehow came apart and went over the nut! " I noticed there's hardly any fluid in the differential." I'd replace everything on that side and be...

[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] I'd just make one from a piece of sheet metal, just make sure you slip a piece of rubber hose over the steel lines where they touch and are clamped to keep them from vibrating and wearing a hole through them. I speak from experience! You never leak out ATF when you have a...

Maybe the key to your statement is 700R4?? As far as the engine/trans bolts , I've only seen SAE used. Who knows what has happened to these trucks over the past 30 years!

I'd change nothing but I would continue to explore and investagate. As far as the batteries go pos-pos thats exactly how GM did the civvie 6.2 exept they had one alternater and put the second battery over on the drivers side of the radiator. Take a close look at the glow plug resistor, it may...

I had a lead clamp break on my Kubota and ran down to Advance auto parts and grabbed a replacement, I thought it looked a little odd, kinda to shiny. When I got back and opened it I found it's made of zinc instead of lead. It works but it's also junk!

When replaceing a bad tranny don't forget to flush out the cooler lines! Why pay all that money to end up just putting conaminents right back into the system? There's a couple different arasol cans of solvent that is easily hooked up the tranny lines and blown thru, just make sure you use a...

YEAH! That's it, thanks it's good to know I'm not completely senile!

Isn't there a plastic bushing in bracket mounted to the frame that the shift rod pivots in? I seem to remember some being like that and I think there might have been a spring in there too, but then again I can't remember ____ anymore.

I just let one go, it went to the first guy that looked at it and he didn't bat an eye at $4000. Maybe I should've asked for more but I'm happy.

Years ago I rebuilt the front end of my plow truck using mostly all dura last parts, tie rods, ball joints, ectra. That winter was a bad one for snow and I was pileing it up on a curb island in the parking lot I drove a bit farther than I thought and my front end straddled the 'y' shaped island...

I would've gone with Moog, but didn't know about the Mexico thing sooo.. Dura-junk never did much for because who wants to change whatever part every year or two for the next forever? Guess I'd be checking at NAPA.

Another place dust and water can come in is rusted thru vent behind the fender and below the cowl panel. Quite common up here in NY not so much in AZ! Up here they get clogged with leaves and then rust out.

I always just assumed the bracket was due to the weight of the starter, not so much for on the road driving but more for off road where bumps would cause the starter to bend/break the bolts or ear on the block. Seen both but never on one of mine.
