The one's I picked up today are D-Tech G050's. I'll see if I can get the narrow spade tomorrow but if not I'll probably change the spades to fit the wide prong. My spades are worn out, anyways. They barely have any bite. After looking at D-Tech's website, I think the plug I want is the G115. I...

Help, huh. Have you any interest and the tools required to help someone do a tie rod end and possibly a king pin? I'll bring the beer. I am a mechanic for a living and know my way around a wrench but 4wd if a completely new subject for me. I've always done my off-road on 2 wheels. I really...

Dang, picked up some 12 volters today and didn't realize the spade terminal was larger. I think they gave me plugs from a 6.5. Well, back to the diesel shop again tomorrow.

The truck is pretty much untouched and still has the 60 up front. As for the radiator. I will solder the hole once I find it. It only steams on cold mornings though and I'm supposed to be at work in the morning so I'll have to wait for the weekend to chase down the leak. I'm kind of leaning...

So the total damage, I've got one sacked out king pin on the left side, $40. One sloppy outer tie rod end on the passenger side for $59. And, the hydro booster got a little oil on one of the front leaf spring bushins and that is toast. So $25 for that. I'll get the tie rod end done this...

Thanks. Got in a big argument with the shop today about which plugs to run. I ended up leaving with the 24's. They asked me whats the voltage at the glow plugs, well with no load and a high impedance meter it's 24 volts. But with a normal glow plug load it drops to 12. So this just made me...

M1008, what do I use, standard civilian 12v glow plugs or 24v?

Oh I see, I don't even have ball joints with the Dana 60 and ORD is Off-Road Design.

Kingpin? I'm pretty good with mechanical things (I am a mechanic of sorts for a living). But, this is my first 4wd truck. A kingpin might make sense. Visually, the left front has a little bit more positive camber than the right front which is why I'm targeting that area. I tried to twist...

Anyways, the truck is in great shape. I got a smoking deal on it. So far, there are a few important problems. It doesn't start cold. I'm pretty sure this is glow plug related or glow plug controller related. I'll get to diagnosing it this week. Next, it wont hold 4-low. I've got a pretty...
