    Front axle seals and boots stepXstep

    What I remember some were having trouble when seating the bearings with 100 / 150 foot pounds pre load. The outer grease seal was breaking the tab off. So going 75 or less spinning the wheel / hub we seat the bearings. Back off from that and go up to 50 foot pounds then back off that 1/8 - 1/4...

    Last truck off the sold property.

    I have never lived on the 5 acres in Newberry just used it and rented it out for a while. Lived in Gainesville and moved to Interlachen house 2010. The property is cleaner than when I bought it. By Mr. Deuce.

    Trickle charger / maintainer

    As said I do not know but it does not fault when I did it. Also batteries have always been maybe one volt low when I charged them. No drain when the 3116 just sits. Been two months since he paid for it just not picked it up. Other thread I posted I will not let it off the property without the...

    Last truck off the sold property.

    Your right Allen need to fix the money pit first. I sold the 5 acres to a member of SS and I feel he got a real good deal. After I got all the OD stuff off the property and now the green grass is growing the sale just about makes me sick. I hate to say it but I was hoping his loan did not go...

    Trickle charger / maintainer

    Ok if all four batteries are still hooked up and using my Noco Genius charge does it still need to be on AGM. Hate to say it but I have not been using the AGM with the four 6TL in the truck just regular 24 volt. Would seem to me if I was just charging just one battery in the shop then yes use...

    Last truck off the sold property.

    This was my first truck and was given to me by my best friends wife when her husband was taken from us by a bad car accident. I offered it back to her and his brothers without charge but they said sell it and keep the money. Yea it needed some money and work put back into it but it always...

    77' Jeep M35A2 leaking hubs in the front.

    Not if you have the newer style cross type of U joint. We only need some grease on the ball and claw older type.

    zipper boot replacement

    Lets start with the retainers I like. I had tried the straight wire ones and they can cause the rubber to bunch up just as it comes together. I like the ones in the pic that have what I will call the slider or shield up by the screw / nut. Now the one with a control number and manufacture number...

    zipper boot replacement

    Problem with that is there is more than one type of what we call rubber. Some do better than others when exposed to petroleum product. I do not trust any thing from China for our boots. A simple Google will tell you that Petroleum products will cause some rubber to break down way too soon. I...

    PURest Air Dryer constantly purging/leaking

    Problem with that is if not cleaned or fixed it will just happen again. Wonder if some Cat compressors just spit out more junk than others. I have not had any problems with mine but I have no hours on it. Sold the truck just waiting for the man to transfer title before I let it out of my yard.

    Torque stick or torque wrench

    I have a math block so I need my four way or the torque wrench. Also need to find work for the torque wrench as the cost of it was not cheap.

    PURest Air Dryer constantly purging/leaking

    Forget what model but check valve can cause that. Something about air up the system shut down truck remove the pressure line off compressor or dryer see if air dryer is leaking air from the wet tank back through the air dryer. If it is compressor unloader is staying open because of that back...

    Saw this on the back of a flat deck in Regina Sask.

    I like the helipad on top of the cab.

    NHC 250 questions

    Well there is a cleanable screen filter in the PT. There is a screen filter on the in coming injector ports. Most of the time if one of the 250 I was running poor I had the PT rebuilt. Also checking all rubber fuel lines and if I remember pick up tube can have problems. If you had a gage that...

    Torque stick or torque wrench

    How long is you bar? I dragged out my old four way and measured my bar and it was four feet. I used this before I got the torque wrench. I did not jump on it just pulled down nice and easy not even using all my strength but a good pull. No sense popping the family jewels when I do not have to...

    Yet another engine oil and diesel fuel thread

    Robo McDuff I would say yes. All though I push the aftermarket additives I will say if I find some 2 stroke oil and since I no longer really use it I dump it in any truck that is close. I even find unopened 2 stroke bottles at my recycle trash dump on the pallets and I grab it no problem.

    Torque stick or torque wrench

    I do not think you need a 6 foot bar and someone to jump on it. As a matter of fact I know you do not need a 6 foot bar and someone to jump on it to put on the lug nuts. I have a reversible torque wrench and we need reversible because of the lefty tighty thing on the drivers side. Also I am 180...
