My truck is the same way! Nice score! Do you feel bad about what you paid? :)

Torsion axles work best on single axle trailers like this, however being fully loaded all the time will reduce the life of the rubber cushions inside the tubes. Easy to fix by replacing the complete axle. Good luck with your project.

You can even purchase these from numerous places on the bay down to $132.38. They are not exact nor are they Delco either. We have been thru this before. They are all knockoff new manufactured. The adjuster bolt is 5/8-16 thread sae not metric like original. Some will have alignment problems...

FinditParts show to have limited supply for $204.66 including $47.06 core. Oreillys shows $236.99 + $40 core.

That should be 1984 K30 Chevy, but alternators are one part that is different from civvy.

Every vehicle or tractor I have runs hot when low on coolant! :)

The little puddle of oil could be diesel that came out of injection pump shaft seals. It runs down valley on top of engine, then thru a hole and down the back side of engine to the ground and looks like oil. Check it out. It could be a leaking supply hose that goes to same pump.

I would replace that relay if it has already tried to weld the contacts together!

You may not be getting a good seal between the new heater core and the housing. Therefore the air is not going thru the core but around it. You can add high density weatherstrip foam to get a better seal. Your new aluminum core should produce more heat.

In Thanks a lot Chris! Wishing you the best in this venture!

Look at a Kat's Heaters Thermostatically controlled tank heater # KH13150. 120 volt- 1500 watt. These have been used for a long time on tractors and trucks.

Try Hillbilly Wizard.

Did you make sure the torque convertor is fully seated into the transmission? If it does not seat fully into the front pump you will have problems mating engine back to transmission. Do not force them together and start the engine! You will have to do it again and work on transmission!

Wow! I can not get parts within the USA in 5 days sometimes. USPS will haul them all over the country until they figure out where they go! Some parts I never get! UPS can lose parts too! This does not happen all the time, but it does happen.

Change the front transmission seal while it is easy access.

You have the wrong torque convertor! It must have the six mounting pads on a 6.2 diesel. Squibbly just went thru this on his rig.

In southern states kerosene was not always available. Therefore truckers did add gasoline to prevent gelling when colder weather than normal showed its face.

The hardened non greaseable u-joints will outlast the cheaper greaseable ones at least 2-1 or more is my experience. The cross is a lot stouter without the hole drilled for the zerk too. If yours have the originals there is your answer for sure!

Truckers used to add 10% gasoline to high sulphur diesel with no problems. I would not recommend that with ULSD. I use Power Service in my diesel year around. Use Arctic formula in the winter time. Use double rate if operating below zero to prevent gelling.

Have you tried soaking it with all of the magic stuff? I like John Deere multi purpose spray lube. It penetrates and lubes.
