�� yup, awkward access can definitely multiply the degree of challenge!

did you have the rear plates removed?

Thanks, I've had this and the TM's downloaded for a long time and have skimmed through them a few times. My truck seems to have almost no rust underneath and any bolt I have undone was no problem thus far... unlike trucks and cars i work on which get a salt(and/or calcium chloride) bath every...

I am no expert in this so correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand, the specs are different for different models and years because of the difference in weight and the fact that camber changes at speed.

Thanks for the heads up Action. did you shim it yourself? are there different shim sizes available somewhere?

How do you do fine adjustment on rear camber? on mine there is just one layer of thick shims. are various thicknesses of shims available?

thanks, I had a feeling I wouldn't but already have the front lifted and wheel off. I might as well just change out the shaft before alignment. alignment is $147.00, I'm used to paying about $75 per car but I guess if it includes dealing with rear shims then its a fine price. It's supposedly...

planning to have alignment done. Expensive! However, should I replace my front right half shaft before having alignment done? been putting it off for a while, outer boot is torn. I'm guessing from the looks of it("seems" simple) that I can remove the shaft without touching any alignment...

OK finally got around to getting insurance and registration, drove it on the road for the first time and the fan kicked on every time the gauge needle pointed straight up(I think that's about 220deg). My thermostat might be ok, need to put new batteries in my laser thermometer. I'm guessing...

All of my belts are new and I've tightened them enough so as not to squeal. However, the two outer ones(alternator) continue to have some serious slop on the top(longest) span. By slop I mean they flex up and down when engine is running so that there is about 2.5" of difference between the...

but isn’t one of the testing methods for a bad head gasket to do an oil analysis for coolant in the oil? i saw a video of a really bad leak where coolant actually came out first when draining oil from the pan. i guess the symptoms vary depending on where and how bad the leak. im still hoping i...

i was just thinking about this again as i continue to worry🙁. if there was a head gasket leak or crack, wouldn’t the pressure escape back through it, especially if given a month?

how best to test the TCM and the switch?

just checked it. yes it turns on immediately.

Well I'm not building 15psi but there is some faint pressure when I open the cap after running for a minute. I did run the engine with the cap off and stared into the tank for about 30 sec to see if any bubbles show up. did not see any trace. any other simple ways to rule out head gasket or...

ok so i haven’t had time to really look into this further yet but your replies got me to go to the truck and at least see the current situation. after last shutting down of the engine(at about “240”degrees), the level was at the fill line. right now it was at about halfway up, and when i took...

Hey Dock Rocker, the thing is that in the past I have in fact witnessed the fan kick on when the gauge showed just above 200. But I will do as you suggested and use my laser thermometer. I am concerned about what suzucovich mentioned regarding air in the coolant lines. It kind of makes sense...

I've been running the engine for about 15min about once a month since autumn. been too busy to get it ready for inspection. it's been a long winter here in the northeast.. Anyways, today as I always do, I checked the oil level but also coolant. The coolant seemed low so I opened the fill cap and...

I removed the EESS box, opened it up, it looked like new inside(no burn marks), put it back together. I then installed additional much heavier gauge grounding cables, from the block to the box, also to the starter, to the alternator, and to the back of the dash. I made sure to unplug the...

I've got a 24valve 5.9 HO Turbo with a 6speed and a 4" exhaust in my ram 3500 dually. I don't really see it fitting in a HMMWV without doing a body lift. Also, without an axle upgrade the likelihood of twisting an axle in half like taffy would be significantly increased in my opinion. Serious...
