Hi Thanks for letting us know the end of the story. I hate when you read all the way through a mystery only to find that the last page with the big reveal is missing. Cheers Phil

Hi Bill Glad you are making progress, reason I asked about position of the hot hub is with my trucks I have noted that usually it will be the passenger or right side of the truck which will run noticebly hotter. Both tires and hubs, reason around here is high crown of the roads tilling the...

Hi Frank Besure to let us know if fresh gas solves the problem. I never do a tune up or try to solve rough running on any of my trucks until I've put fresh gas in and if possible driven the truck for an hour. Amazing how often this fixes the problem with no other work, other than normal oil...

Time to go water sking Hi All You may have seen this but this is my idea of combining restoring Military Vehicles, fast boats, big diesels, taking a few friends out for a cruise and if you want taking the kids water sking you could do it all at the same time. Wonder how much fuel those...
