This is about to get interesting!!

There you go! Welcome to the forum. The current crop of generators coming out of G/L all seem to have some sort of issues. Some are cheap and easy like a good cleaning of the fuel system and others are much more expensive like missing V/R boards and locked up engines. Always preview the set and...

Jerry, MEP's are NOT a hobby for you, they are an addiction!:twisted:

Probably got run over by his trailer pulling it with an S10 pick-up.:?

I tried to warn you about jumping into another thread. PM me if you have any questions on how to find what you are looking for. If you keep trying on this thread they will suspend your posting privileges! I will not offer again. Rick

Larrry, You might be better off opening a new thread instead of jumping in the middle of this one. You will get more answers that way. Rick

And I said, "All of the same things pertain". Death wobble is most of the time caused by something other than ball joints or king pins. It is usually found in the steering system somewhere. One thing that has not been mentioned is wheel bearings and spindles. I used to own a 4X4 shop so I saw a...

All of the same things pertain except it is much easier to detect worn ball joints. Jack under the axle and put a pry bar under the tire and pry up and down, if there is play the lower ball joint is bad. Grab the top of the tire and push in and out, if you have play the upper is bad. Ball joints...

Engineers! How do you figure when the spring compresses it decreases force on the bushing? It is bearing directly on the bushing. The upper king pin is slightly tapered towards the top and the only force on that joint is lateral so as it gets lateral force the bushing will try to ride up the...

Sorry, I didn,t see the links. I am old fashioned and use regular URL links.

OK, We all know about idling a military generator. BIG No-No. I have a question. Is there any way of disconnecting the critical generating components without disconnecting the engine operating system? Example #1, Can I unplug the generator controllers from the control box but still have the...

Marcus, We just went through all of this in another thread. Two of us even provided our own third party experiences with the government inspections. You were part of that thread, why rehash it again here? Here is the thread...

Just so you know, king pins and ball joints are different setups.

I agree that the stabilizer had to be replaced. The bushings will always look bad on the outer edges, that is why I said to have someone turn the wheels and see if they actually are bad. The part hanging out of the side of the spring really does nothing, it is the inner part that counts. With...

The stabilizer will mask the problem, a new one might even make it go away, until the problem beats the stabilizer to dearth. A properly set up front end will not need a stabilizer at all. I have not had one on my 1008 since I got it 12 years ago. The original was bashed in so I took it off and...

8472 beat me to it, it is not real common with Chevies but with the weight on the ground, preferably concrete or pavement have someone rock the steering back and forth. Put enough input into the turning to just start to turn the tires. Have them keep this up while you go over every part of the...

:funny::funny:

I will bet half of you are using speech recognition software.

Thats alright, you guys type too fast for me in chat. By the time I respond to something you are on another subject! Rick

All I get is a Windows 7 loading symbol just swirling around. It will go on forever but nothing will happen. I have the latest updates for Java.
