loaded up my empty pioneer rack with tractor supply stuff, got yellow handles for visibility but after shortening the shovel almost 5" to get it to fit the yellow part is hidden under the rubber condom, added a crowbar as it fit and because, i think i can sneak a 6 or 8# sledge under the shovel...
the case against gl5 is the EP additives can attack the yellow metals at high temps, and thusly drivelines with brass/bronze are generally gl4 rated (my old bmws spec gl4 for the same reason and redline mtl is mothers milk for them for shift quality, but they can also deal with atf for cold...
chilled my inner seal housings with freon as they were laughing at my 10# slide hammer which usually rules all, prob burned $20-30 worth of r134 but it got the job done, found perfect combo of 3/4 drive sockets and extensions to drive it back in
on my 395s on mraps i decreased pressure till the tread blocks on the shoulders contact the road when i still had the 109 box on it it was around 35, with a drop side bed im down to around 30 and could stand to loose another 5 maybe, but im not sure i wanna go that low on the hwy, think im...
snap on torque-o-meter is my poison, they are made by a few other companys, pictured is my 600lb unit i scored off ebay unused from a navy source for under 150, i have em all the way down to 1 inch pound resolution and they hold calibration right up till the head slips, which takes about 10...
if you need the goodies to set the timing on a p7100 i have em (also have the ve tools), dial indicator so you can get the advance right where you want it for performance or to exact for your cpl's spec, my 887/215hp 12v likes an extra 2 degrees but not every pump has the same tastes and "the...
could copy skidsteer OTT tracks, most simple set ive seen uses two lengths of grade 80 chain welded to the [ shaped plates easily made in a press brake, heres the set on my bobcat i rebuilt when the bolts and links were hogged out and sloppy, the pic with the impact you can just see how the...
mine has a detroit in the front and it was a bit of a pain to steer on NDTs but was near undrivable on 395s on pavement, worked just fine in a field, hubs were a must and as long as one is unlocked i can steer (needed to drag a very large tree down the street and into the field and didn't have...
i've only heard mine trigger once in a couple hundred miles, possible others occurred underway when noise levels are too high, never been able to pump the brakes and get em to pop, even after pumping the brakes down to 60#, i think they need to have the non compressable water in the chamber when...
premature opening (popping at a low pressure) of a failing injector would effectively advance the timing in that cylinder changing the noise, one thats dumping too much fuel would imbalance the power output across the set. normal diesel operation is controlled detonation
