Get a torque wrench!

I thought you were in Oregon. Did you move?

Still

Also in WA and reading because I would love to have one if these. Haven't had the nerve to bid on any as I don't know much about them or have any heavy truck maintenance experience. I like the ones Suprman has out there in my home state of CT, but too far away. I saw a really nice privately...

Found it in the other thread: The gauge indicates between 9 and 10 psi at high idle, then when the idle drops it’s between 6 and 7 psi.

Napa See: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/spin-on-fuel-filter-mod.114158/#post-1434074 and https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/stanadyne-fm100-fuel-management-system-upgrade.93781/page-2#post-1433286

I have one on the filter input. I'll go out after telework and fire it up and let you know what the pressure reads if that's what you're looking for.

As an aside, I got my gasket scraper from Wilde Tools on their sale page: Wilde Tool Specials and Closeouts

Thanks, I'll return it then. In case anyone ever searches for this info I changed the thread title. Thanks to all the help it wasn't really a tough job at all- just unfamiliar territory. I used the vacuum pump to pull the old gear oil out through the fill hole. I figured the pump pulled...

When I realized you weren't waiting by the forum for my questions, I went outside and figured it out. :D Question- do I want to use a limited slip additive with the 80/90 gear oil? I got some, just don't know if I want to use it. The LO doesn't mention it for the 1009, but the gov-lock is a...

The guy at napa knew what the bolt was- walked over and got it from the peg board. Everything going smoothly until.... The pinion gears are not coming out. In the video he just rolls them out- but the gov-lock doesn't look like that apparently. Can't figure out how they come out.

You wouldn't happen to have the part number would you? I have to go back to napa for the gasket- they were having it delivered from another store.

Thanks for the video- doesn't look too bad. Got the parts and oil, will be attacking this afternoon.

I dug out the parking spot for the trailer, then used it to bring in a yard and ¼ of 1½ clean basalt gravel to make a pad. All with hand tools.... o_O I still need another half yard to level it better. That 1½ gravel is hard to work with a shovel and rake. Still looking for the bow bracket...

Thanks . The narrow shoes were removed and replaced with the proper ones, see post #5. It smells like diff fluid to me. What's involved in pulling the axle?

I had a funny feeling something was amiss. When I was putting the whole thing back together I had a hard time turning the star wheel. I got to thinking about it and went out after (tele)work today and pulled the wheels and drums off. Yup, put that bottom spring on wrong and the barrel of the...

Previous owner left an oil pressure gauge line back in there?

Thanks doghead. The narrow ones came from rock auto, not sure how I ended up with those unless I was too lazy to go outside, take the wheel and drum off, and measure them. :sleep: I went to the local parts store with an old one and made sure they matched. The girl at the counter brought some...

What the heck happened here? Six hands and a leg to hold everything, get it all back together before I noticed that the shoes I bought eight months ago are much narrower than the ones I took off. I bought them on Rock Auto and these were the ones they selected. What do I need exactly? New...

Keep the pictures coming!
