    sombody HELP me

    If they ask for it you will want to give it to them. VERY IMPORTANT you will want to give them the number of a landline that is in your name - not a cell phone on your EUC if they aver ask for one. If you don't you will be rejected and you will loose the item you bid on. They only ask for a EUC...

    Is this an engine crack or paint?

    I can't tell by the pics - though it looks kind of bad. With no oil leaks I would tend to go with paint. The best way to tell for sure is to hit it with a metal hammer. You should be able to give it a fairly solid hit and the hammer should just bounce off a good block. If the block is bad...

    15 minute rule - flustrating

    I think part of it has to do with the way the Government is regulated. If they don't investigate or prosecute in a few cases then when they do try to prosecute someone that gets seriously out of hand they are discriminating and the bad guys get off free and clear. EBay can cut slack, decide it...

    Recovery Time - Ft Sam

    Cool truck. It doesnt look to bad in the pics. Just clean it off and hiy it with a few cans of spray paint to keep it from getting worse, It doesn't have to be perfect. The truck looks good and if it made it all the way to Houston without any major problems I would guess it probably runs good...

    engine top front oil leak question

    Try taking the fan off and running it for a while. You should be fine in the winter - or probably even the summer in Canada. I took the fan off one of my trucks over a year ago to see how it would work on the road. It does well as long as I don't Idle in traffic for a long time. With no fan it...

    Best Way To Preserve Rubber?

    One thing you can do is to store the rubber parts in a dry clean place. Water inside your tires is one of the worst things that can happen to them. They use oil to keep moisture away from the rubber.

    Oil rcommendations for multifual engines?

    The oil recommendations are climate dependent. Here in Texas I like to use 40w mobile + 1 gallon of Lucas oil stabilizer. If I lived in colder weather I would use 30w or in very cold I would use 10w30. A lot of people use Rotella I just prefer Mobile both are good. I would always recommend...

    I Screwed Up - Kansas Pickup and Store

    I think they meant to say "thanks for making us more money" I wonder if they gave the guy that won a discount to compensate for your bid?

    I think it is time to start Drinking !!!

    If you can find one I don't think sleeves are very expensive. Freight shouldn't be a problem for just a sleeve either. A engine with a sleeve is just as good as any other. They take out the old cylender and press in the sleeve. Its just as strong - probably better because there wont be any rust...

    @#%$%&#%^*# I did it too... :(

    I think there is stuff in antifreeze that turns into JB weld after several years. I think you are supposed to replace your thermostat every 2 years to prevent the stuff from forming - not because of thermostat ware. I think you have to heat the bolts up until they start to glow to dissolve the...

    Hole in my J pipe

    For a temporary fix I would use exhaust putty. They used to have it at most auto parts stores. Its like clay that hardens when it gets hot. It is a temporary fix - untill you can find a good deal on replacement j pipe. At GL?

    Air Compressor Question

    I agree that the belt may have sat for along period and the cords may be broken or damaged allowing the belt to strech under load. Something I might also look at is the compressor. If it is bad it might overload your belt. Are you geting normal pressure? does it build pressure at a normal rate...

    Fan clutch on the NHC 250 Cummins

    I had to replace the air fan clutch on my freightliner worktruck. It has a 350hp Cat. It cost about $700 + core exchange for a rebuilt one. It took a full day to swap it out. Those things are heavy! I took the fan off my M35 that I drive in the winter. It saves fuel has more power and runs...

    USMC Kawasaki KL650A SOLD on GL!

    I had a kawasaki 650 a few years ago. I bought it brand new for around $4800. I didn't like the way it rode, it felt very unstable over 45mph. It started to leak iol after just a few months. I traded it in for a BMW 650. The BMW is far better without question. They are very stable and have...

    second bad T/C @#%!!!

    I agree. I would make sure there is a couple of inches left over after it is put in high then the lever is pulled up as far as it can go. Also checked for cracked or broken mounts. If the transfer case is moving around it can throw it out of gear. I would also look at the old one very close to...
