I'm just messin' with ya brother. It's all good. Thank you for your Service.

@ AECS. Did your brakes break?

Did your brakes break?

I bought mine from Advance auto parts. I had to modify the bracket that bolts to the exhaust by drilling another hole and moving the clamp that secures the lines. I also had to reshape the lines (very carefully) to keep them away from stuff.

If you read my original post, you will see that I was referring to numerous pages of posts on this forum, not the TM. When you type 'Injection pump check valve' into the search box, you get 395 threads containing that phrase. Each thread has numerous pages. I was originally trying to find where...

I know how to read a friken book Doghead. I figured I would get a smart ass comment from you. I did get the truck running. Apparently I had a loose connection at the wire on the injection pump. I drove it about 150 miles yesterday and it ran fine and started every time. I stopped last night to...

Oh by the way, the injection pump check valve is good. Thanks Recovery for telling my where it is.

My issue started last week. On Tuesday it cranked normally but ran for 15 or so seconds and died. I like to never got ir re-cranked. It started fine the rest of the day and I drove it probably 150 miles. Wednesday, same thing. Ran for 15 or so seconds and died. I ran the batteries down trying to...

Ok, I have searched for this but I don't have time to read through 4000 pages of posts to find out more information about the fuel pump check valve. I have heard it can break or come apart and cause a no start issue which is what I am having. Can someone just tell me where it is with out 10...

@Jakelc15, I'd say your wife is a keeper if she is willing to paint your MV stuff.

Thanks Robo, but, That doesn't make me want to pack up and move to Ohio.

Yep. My fuel mileage drops from 15.4 down to 12something when towing a car on the trailer. I'm not complaining too much though, because it tows a 1500lb trailer and 3500+lb Mercedes with ease.

This past Thursday, I replaced the steering shock as a precautionary measure to try and cure the death wobble. It only does it every now and then and I have learned how to quickly get it under control and to avoid it all together. I drove the truck 195 miles that day, then 150 on Friday, another...

I fixed the vibration I had between 40 and 45 mph. I took the rear drive shaft out and the rear u joint fell apart and was very bad. The tube had some dents in it from Gov-lick fork lift operators. The drive shaft shop re-tubed it, replaced both u-joints and balanced it for $200.00 She rides...

Most big box parts stores around here like Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts have a loaner tool program where you just leave a deposit, use the tool, then bring it back when finished and get your deposit back. A lot better than buying a tool you may never use again. Yes they do work well if used...

I think my vibration has to do with the fact three of the bolts that hold the trans to the engine fell out and the other three snapped off. That is why I had the engine out, and to fix a bunch of other stuff. I think it warped the flex plate. I should have replaced it but I plan to install a...

I went to Auto Zone yesterday morning and picked up a 60" and a 20" pice of ready made brake line and a union. I bent them as best I could to the original shape and installed them with the two P clamps that were still remaining to secure them to the frame. The TM called for a 78" line so 80" was...

It has been my experience in 36 years as a mechanic that coolant leaks are easier to find with a cold engine because the seals, orings and gaskets have contracted. Use a pressure tester when the engine is cold and you should be able to find it.

Did my first real journey since having the engine out for major repairs other than the usual test drive. I drove 65 miles to my sister in law's house to help my niece get rid of a junk vehicle. The truck ran fine but has a wicked driveline vibration from 40-45. I have to deal with that because...

We want more details on how you did the goose-neck hitch. At least I do anyway.
