Did you ever talk to your driver? Considering it spent years in plow service, frame is in better shape than I expected.

figure out what was wrong with engine?

Gauge repair shops use what looks like a mini bearing puller. The point goes on the shaft, and 2 jaws grab on either side of needle. I have used 2 flat head screwdrivers with some success. Go slow, and keep pressure even. Very easy to bend shaft. I put moderate pressure on screwdrivers and if...

I had same thing happen on trans cooler line in 10 year old Ford truck. I regularly inspect the bottom of my vehicles, but the plastic clamp was trapping road salt water, and corrosion was not visible. Fortunately, I was driving in town, and spotted/ smelled the oil before damage was done. Cost...

OK, you guys started it. Going off topic for a sec. Why isn't MSN allowed on your systems? I run Win 7 or 10, depending on computer, MS office, Hotmail, MSN. Actually like MSN news. No issues.

! Glad you made it. That is a bad one. I can't tell what you were driving.

I follow you, did not say anything because never owned one, and could not help you. I do not want to fill threads with useless comments. My reason for asking about the fix was so if someone has the same problem in the future, they can search the archives and find your solution. As for...

How did you fix the issue in your 3/8/16 post?

When I retired, I thought I would give back, so I joined OEM, CERT and the Medical Reserve Corps. In 2009, they needed a radio operator in charge of local OEM station. Having worked on tube equipment on and off in the 1950's to 1970's, I had the technical knowledge, so I sat down one night and...

:deadhorse:Somebody needs to take your helmet off and give you a good wonk on the head:-P I am an old guy. I drove vehicles from 1950's and 1960's when they were new, and did all maintenance on them.I am familiar with all that stuff. The old stuff did not have a flange with wheel studs on end...

That is called a dual circuit brake system. You say brake shoes are adjusted properly, so that should not be an issue.

CUCVrus is telling it right. Drums get bell mouthed and out of round if overheated from hard braking. They only have support on 1 side. Quick check for out of round - in an open area, like an empty parking lot, go about 15 MPH and gradually apply parking brake. If you feel pulsating, drums are...

Like your license plate.

To be expected! When plowing, the loads and the duration of the loads placed on the truck are well beyond what was considered when designing the truck.

You, Patracy and others have found damage caused by severe overheating at the rear of #6. To the point of melting rear of #6 piston. I do not remember this issue when engines were in service, so something changed over the years, causing less coolant flow to the rear of the block. Water pump...
