rofl That reminds me of an old sales pitch my Grandad use to do. He sold Allis Chalmers farm equipment. AC's manure spreader discharged out the side toward the front. He would tell people " the AC manure spreader is the only brand I'd stand behind".

You know, I've got a 3/4 ton Dodge and several trailers but there's a certain amount of satisfaction with taking the deuce to home depot to pick up a few 2X4s. IMO, the deuce is really not very practical to haul other vehicles because of the bed hight. I have found out that if you have...

It would be just about as easy as a 12 valve. The only thing you might have to do is have the ECU programed to your application ( because you won't be using the factory gauges or have any trans input). That's not that big of a deal though because just about any decent diesel shop, a Cummins...

If you're thinking of buying one of these, check underneath really well. Sh** is very corrosive and I've seen frames rusted completely apart on these type trucks.

I can see alot of states have stricter insurance laws than TN does. In TN it is state law that you carry insurace and they will fine you and/or take you license for not having insurance. The deadbeats just drive without insurance and when they get caught, they loose their license and just...

I'd steer clear of the high-lift jacks. While the do have their place, they get awfully "wobbly" up that high. You can do what you want with a bottle jack, some heavy duty jackstands, and a few pieces of cribbing to put under your jack. There's really no reason to lift the tires 1' off the...

I'd say there's a fair chance she didn't have any insurance. If she does, sometimes insurance companies don't like to pay out when they are drunk behind the wheel. She violated the terms of her agreement with her insurance company when she decided to drink and drive. All I can say is, good luck...

I have seen quite a bit (just by feel) of side to side movement on a new turbo right out of the box.

You should be able to tell by visually inspecting it and spinning the shaft by hand (making sure it spins freely and smoothly) and checking the shaft for looseness (side to side and in and out). There will more than likely be a little movement in the shaft but it shouldn't be "flopping" and...

Check that turbo out before you head out on a recovery. You don't want that turbo to go down and the engine eat the parts or it starts dumping oil and the engine runs away.

Did you're EGT or boost (if you're running a boost gauge) change? I don't have any idea what it could be but if it were me, I'd pull the intake and/or exhaust off the turbo and check the shaft for looseness and/or missing blades.

Sounds like your relay to me. First check all you connections and make sure they're tight and not corroded. then make sure you have 24v going to the relay from the battery with a volt meter. Then have somebody hit the start button while you check for 24v going to the relay from the start button...

I've got them on my truck. I have noticed that although they do have the anti-drainback feature, if I let my truck set for a couple of weeks I still have to wait until the filters fill with oil for the oil pressure to come up. I'm figuring the valves that prevent drainback leak a little and will...

I've got two new ones I can send you for $20 each plus shipping.

That's right. I've had several people wanting M105s but I won't buy them to sell. Even if you pay minimum bid you'll have to ask more for it that other people are selling them for just to come out on the deal. I just tell them to look around and find one because it will be cheaper than I could...

What other private company could pull some of the crap GL does and still stay in business? :cookoo: Look on the bright side. Atleast they called and told you and not waited until you went to pick it up only to find out it's not there.

You should be able to find what you need at one of the surplus dealers. If you're not worried about keeping it original, you can find all the parts you need to build one at NAPA or your local farm supply store. The yoke that attaches to your winch is the only "odd size" one and you have that...

Well if you use a heli coil you're going to have to drill it out also. There is more than enough meat there anyway so you shouldn't have any problems drilling it to the next size.

The silicone boots are New Star also but I've heard the hold up alot better. I just wish they offered them with a zipper.

I haven't had very good luck with heil coils in AL. I would just drill it out and tap it the next size and install a bigger bolt. I've seen many winches where this was done.
