    2002 m1123 Brake Rotors

    If I remember correctly NAPA at one time had 2 flavors of these , cheaper and not so cheap = less runout.

    HMMWV recovery U-Haul nightmare

    I wouldn't worry about any of that stuff!!! Unless there were a LOT more tie downs involved the first minor upset and the HMMWV is leaving the trailer, no problem then........

    Fiberglass X Doors

    Can't disagree with that!

    Fiberglass X Doors

    I think they mean the doors with the straight upper portion. My understanding they only fit the 1114 series trucks. But I may be wrong!

    Fiberglass X Doors

    FYI.... There was a guy in Atlanta that sold xdoors a few years back. Corvette guy I think.

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Rumor has it that "dead" slim in the tank looks like coffee grounds on the bottom of the tank. Something to look for. You should be able to easily see the bottom of the tank with clean highway diesel (non dyed on highway fuel) .

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Power Service BIO KLEEN, a little goes a long way. I mix it with anti gel and diesel in a 2.5 gal jug and splash it before a trip to the pump. Don't ask how much, I have to break out the calculator or have my kid (math major) do the math. My suspicion is the translucent nature of the tank...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    I do not see the "sock" on the end of the pickup tube. Is it visible to you???? It should look whiteish...... You should be able to see the bottom of the tank with fuel in it if it's clean.........Anything other than diesel and maybe a small amount of water is all that should be visible. Cloudy...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    You are going to be amazed at what you find in the tank. The two cannon plugs above the "frame" over the driveshaft is the hardest part of removal in my experience, chews up old hands. Also if you are new to diesels I have two words for you"BIO KLEEN" . Gasket kit for the top plate and a new...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Maybe.......... had one leaking from the edge as you describe, but ran OK. Had the fuel tank off one TWICE and the second truck once. Both were nasty. I'm holding my breath!

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    My guess now........ messy fuel tank, not a pump. The "butter fly" valves can break in them but do not have the symptoms you describe. Less trouble to pull the fuel sender and eyeball the tank than replace a pump. Just my 2 cents. Please post a picture of the inside of your tank.

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Pull the vent hose off the top of the mech. pump and crank/run the engine, your answer is in what does or doesn't squirt out the vent tube on the top of the pump.

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Do not try this... put a can of CLEAN fuel in the passenger foot well, run a hose to the mech. pump, carefully tied up so as to not get into the tire. If the truck runs good your problem is south of the pump, if not bad lift pump or injection pump. In my opinion the filter housing needs to be...

    Rear half shaft seal leak

    OK , you need the seal, 6 bolts and special washers. Do not reuse the bolts on the inboard side. Order from one of the industry source 's the bolts, washers and seal. If the mating surface on the shaft is pitied or corroded you can correct that with a speedy sleeve (SKF 99199) . Its a pain to...

    Alignment help needed after shim removal!

    Not only do you set the toe on the rear but the "thrust angle" has to be set. The thrust angle just "points" the rear wheels centered with the chassis. The sting will work but not too precise. Instead......... fabricate a short piece of square aluminum tubing to set into the wheel not touching...

    Loss of power over 35 mph and black out of exhaust on acceleration

    I can't help myself.......... they need to be cleaned.......... a 1& 1/2 inch spade bit in an air powered drill will clean them up nicely....................................

    Loss of power over 35 mph and black out of exhaust on acceleration

    Not bad at all. I've seen mine MUCH worse. If you are new to diesels the fuel has some surprises for you, like "stuff" growing in it. Where you live an anti gel additive will be necessary in the winter. The biological stuff can accumulate in the bottom of the filter bowel and cause problems...
