Hey zoto6ixty. This is a typical problem that has been around long before LEDs. If the "blinker" module plugs into the same socket, like a civilian vehicle, just get the one that is specified for any number of bulbs. I used to use this one for my vehicles that I used to pull trailers with. It...

I would use this procedure to check the front drive system. Run the truck until you have highest air pressure. Stop engine. Place trans in reverse. Jack up one end of the front axel and try to rotate the tire. It should rotate in both directions and make no noises. Look to see if the...

I had the same problem with mine when I got it. First I jacked up each front tire and rotated them to see that the rims were not bent. No side to side wobble. Finding no problem there I used 2 pieces of straight pipe held to the side of the tire (avoid any raised type on the tire) just below...

Just noticed the post of tie6044. If the truck in that picture is his he probably has forgotten more about this then most people will ever need to know. My suggestion of using the hammer was to tap gently. Not bang "very hard until something gives". e

Just started reading this thread. First thing, never let any of your body parts (fingers) get between any parts, any time, for any reason. The suspension parts of an assembly this big and heavy can quickly and easily tear things "right off". Or, worse yet, pin you into the assembly in screaming...

I agree with most of the ideas so far. If you have a leak in the oil cooler it would seem to me that, while running, oil would be leaking into the coolant. If this is happening the oil will usually accumulate on top of the coolant in the radiator/expansion tank. Remove the cap and look. I don't...

To the tinwoodsman. If those hinge bolts are still stuck in the hinges here is my methodology to remove them. This usually works unless the rust is real bad. After the bold head has broken off remove the nut on the other end and put a few washers on that end and replace the nut. Use lots of...

I have an M817. Accidently, I stopped and let it roll backwards... the driveline "wound up" and stopped the truck. Initially I thought a trans had jammed but quickly realized what had actually happened. My point is "I" would NOT override the automatic release of the front axel in reverse until...

Having spent my life repairing VWs to caterpillars I have heard your plight before. It does sound a lot like an alternator issue. Bering or belt. Could be just belt tension. Sometimes if a belt is tight it will still slip and make a lot of noise like it is loose because it is too OLD. The...

Didn't you say the NC dmv misinformed you that antiques are exempt from the usual restrictions? You might get off some of the fines by going to court and informing them that you were misinformed by the NC dmv that antiques are exempt from the usual restrictions and thus thought you were...

After verifying that the NCHP was wrong I would definitely go to court. If for no other reason than to let the judge correct him. Carry a printout of the law with you and as many examples as you can find. The law library of NC is most likely available on line for most of the docs you will need...

A quick and easy method to find fuel delivery problems, in any vehicle, is to connect a pressure gauge to the fuel line that connects to the IP after any other gadgets/filters ect, in the fuel system. 1) If your fuel pressure >at the pump< is adequate during the problematic event the cause...

I would speculate that the 5 ton's winch is not a "bolt on fit". When my deuce arrives, in a week, I will know for sure. I think I read that the deuce's winch was 10 ton... but I am not sure right now I've been reading too much spec stuff lately. If my memory serves me correctly your deuce...
