Is there any damage on the front? It would not take much of a bump to push the brush guard into the fender and that moves the fender back just a hair and then someone opens the door which now does not have room and what you see is the end result.

I wish I lived closer to you. I saw your post on the needed recovery and the bit about the trailers. I would say buy them on trailers and I would pull them to your house where you could remove the generator and I would take the trailer away for you.

It is a fairly common problem and there are a lot of aftermarket solutions for it out there. Not really too bad of a job if you have decent welding skills or a good welding shop. The aftermarket plates are designed to form fit and weld in the critical areas. If you do not see the cracks with the...
If you look at a lot of the old antique diesel and gas hit or miss engines they mostly used roller lifters. They are not a new concept that is for sure.

They are all the same, It is a solvent. Do not use the vacuum line on your diesel or you will wipe out the vacuum pump, diesel engines do not produce vacuum. All of these suggestions are going on the assumption that you have a sticky lifter. Try this first but if it does not work do not be...
A Dana 44F is a Dana 44 carrier in a Dana 44 housing. It is a Dana 44 front, high pinion differential usually used in 78-79 Ford F250. Myself and many others have wheeled 44 fronts with 40 inch tires for years without destroying them. It is a matter of knowing how to drive. I have a 76 CJ-7 with...
Bill, I will go to bat for you. While I do agree with everyone about it being a downgrade it will be plenty strong as long as you do not overload it. Ford and Chevy both used the Dana 44 as a front in 3/4 ton applications at one time or another. I had one in a Ford 250 That had 40's on it and I...
Although I am not a big fan of additives I have seen Marvel Mystery Oil loosen up stuck lifters. This may not be your problem but it can't hurt to throw some in the oil and see what happens. Change the oil and filter at the same time, could be dirty oil.

I tried Delk's one time for a fuel tank. Guy who answers phone tells me they have them used for 65.00, hollars to someone else who say's yea we got them, who is it? Phone guy replies it is a guy from Jersey, Guy in back says yup, got two of them 75.00 each. Needless to say Delks will be my last...
Sorry guy's I just, do not have time to read all the sticky's or go through the classifieds. I have no internet at home and I have limited time I can play at work. I apparently have a bad oil switch. 002A started cutting out yesterday for no obvious reason, bypassed oil switch and have had no...
You are going to find that four hours under water is about 3 3/4 hours more than fording standards. In salt water at that. You will find that rust is going to form everywhere and very quickly. Anything electrical that was in contact with the salt water will need to be rebuilt or replaced...
I had a "so called" good Samaritan get stuck in my septic drain field trying to drive through my lawn to get around a tree in the road. They were not helping anyone and were not looking to, they were sight seeing! They are lucky they did not get freakin shot since I was in no mood for that crap...
The one thing that has not been mentioned here yet is rust. Think rust, lots of rust. You are in NJ, think even more rust! Front fenders and inner fenders, rockers, door and door posts, rear quarter panels and tailgates. I didn't mention the floor because it is probably already an aluminum...
