    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    Well sir, you are entitled to your opinion. I have never had anyone else complain about my advise in the past ten years. I guess I can see where the one negative rep I got came from. I am sorry you do not agree with me. You will notice there are others that said the same as I. I will say no...

    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    If you are going to reply just do so from experience and not guess at it or post what you find elsewhere on the internet. Nobody slammed you, just pointed out that you were wrong in your description. You would not want to ask a question and receive bad info would you? Rick

    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    My bad! I pointed out the mistake and corrected it with the same mistake. :oops: I meant track rod. Has been corrected. I hate migraine headaches.

    Help with Death Shake/Wobble

    " A track bar and a sway bar are the same in preventing side axle movement, just different geometry. " 100% completely wrong! The first sentence in the paragraph above is also wrong. A sway bar reduces body roll by transferring weight from the loaded side to the...

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    People really need to read the thread from the beginning. He is getting plenty of fuel blowing out of the filter. You will NOT get a lot of fuel at the injector since there is not a lot injected at one shot. If the glow plugs are wet then he is getting fuel to the cylinders, or whatever is being...

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    Why?? It is cranking fine. That is also not a good habit to get into because ALL of the newer starters use rare earth magnets in the armature and they will shatter very easily even with a light tap of a hammer.

    My truck was stuck at the beach & I can't get it started.

    If the glow plugs are wet then they are not heating up, even a little heat would dry them in a hurry. If they were heating up the ether would have gone Boom! The fact that it did not even burp on the ether makes me wonder, do you have any compression? Does the cranking sound normal? Have you had...

    Upgrade complete

    BINGO! That will work, I think if you give that answer to all the others saying the same thing it will alleviate some of the issues. I will mention it when I see the question asked. Now, How do I get that to open when I log in? Rick

    Upgrade complete

    I think the problem here is that the threads are coming in to fast to read them all. There are usually 10 new pages between visits for me and there is no way I have time to read ten pages. The bit about the old way of seeing the the past threads that keeps coming up? I know you say it is never...

    Upgrade complete

    I can't follow the new threads like I used to, Now I can only see an ongoing stream which is useless to me and the bar on the left which shows very little. Am I missing something? I understand change but I don't live on here and have very limited time to spend here so I really do not have a lot...

    What model Genset is this?

    JP-8 is just another more refined form of diesel. You will find it will not touch the tar like substance I think he is talking about. Plus, the method you mention is a sure way to wipe out an injection pump, not exactly what I would call good advice. But hey, it's your machine, do what you want...

    What model Genset is this?

    Old fuel will turn into a substance that make stale gas look like Mister Kleen! It is NASTY!!! You will find that almost anything you use to clean it will make it even tackier. I have found the Xylene is about the only thing that cuts it, Xylene and a stiff bristle brush, heavy rubber gloves, a...

    M1009 Damage Assesment

    The front bumper has been pushed back into the right front fender. It is still there, that in turn has pushed the fender back. Not a big deal, chain the bumper to a tree and slowly back up, bumper fixed. Loosen all of the fender mounting bolts along the top of the fender and under the front and...

    Found them, Not exactly sure how or if I can do it again but at least I know they are still in there somewhere. The color combo's are still very hard to see, That has been a complaint of mine for years. Rick

    Oskosh snow plow

    I like the one with the muffler mounted to the roof. Less exhaust noise but that thing must have vibrated your teeth out! Unless it was rubber mounted. Rick

    Out of Fuel

    I am confused. You have one post and you start out with a poll asking how long we have been on here. You also mention you ran out of fuel but you have pressure at the filter. Do you have return flow through the return line? Plus all the things Hans asked. I am wondering if this is a real post or...

    Driveshaft Removal in the Field

    Keep in mind that the 10 day pick up is 10 BUSINESS days. No weekends or holidays. A lot of the time you can get an extension although I would not recommend it because that is just longer for others to pick over your vehicle. It also does not include days that they do not schedule pick ups so...
