    New fuel pump install

    I think it more of a 'squeel' than a 'squawking' sound. Best thing to do: Clean the shaft best you can Place a dab of bearing grease on the shaft, half way up the shaft Push the shaft all the way home REAL FAST, place the fuel pump lever in the hole and UNDER the shaft bolt it up and your...

    Odometer question

    I was biding on two M1008s, side by side (twins), one was listed as 28K and the other listed as 82K. I wound up taking the 82K as the other bidder went sky high! When I was on the GL lot loading mine up, we popped the hood and cab of the 28K and looked around. I was glad that I got the 82K, the...

    Pouring a babbitt bearing

    Thanks for posting! Pouring Babbit bearings, that brings back memories! I (we) had to pour bearings for 2" to 6" shafting for winches. Nice sweaty, dirty, and potentially dangerous!

    Fuel Tank Replacement- Opinions and Experience Appreciated

    Friend of mine had his 2 yo Dodge fuel tank replaced because of it, saw it on the floor of the dealership, and it had turned white on the top where the bed meets the cab. Perhaps a Monday or Friday built tank? Perhaps I should have elaborated, Large commercial boats cannot have plastic as fuel...

    Fuel Tank Replacement- Opinions and Experience Appreciated

    Its called UV degredation. I believe Dodge had a problem with theirs in the early 90's?, and the aftermarket ones were not much better. I also work on ships and we cannot use plastic for fuel tanks, and after having 2 engine room fires...enough said. I just do not trust plastic for fuel.2cents

    Front Diff Cover

    M1008, that is what I WOULD like, but will not spend big money for a cover. Mainsail, that would be so NOT cool, and is not going to happen, it will be fixed the right way, the first time.

    Differential ratio Poll

    When I posted the poll, I have all intentions of leaving the TH400 as the tranny guy said the transmission was in excellent shape. I am running 33" tires with the 4.56 and the engine revs pretty high on the highway. I was looking for better highway RPMs but still have good low end power. I do...
