    need help after spin on filter install

    I don't think you've got an air problem. You may have a problem with your IP. Use the checklists in the TM to troubleshoot.

    Do glowplugs make any noise when they go bad?

    I've never heard a noise come from a bad plug and yes leaving the key on for more than 30 seconds can burn up the glow plugs. Time to get a GP tool and start replacing. Save yourself some trouble and wire your accessories to run without the key and turn them off when parked.

    How strong are 10 bolts really?

    ? I have removed my completely worthless comment. I don't know what I was thinking. I read one thing, think another, and write something different all together.

    How to soften ride?

    Check out JC whitney for leaf springs. I had mine made at a local shop, but I should have ordered them based on the price difference.

    How to soften ride?

    Changing out the springs is the only way to drastically soften the ride. I swapped mine out for lighter springs (in order to correct the chevy lean) and added a load only spring helper. The spring helper mounts on top and has no tension unless loaded. I also added new shocks (OEM). The truck...

    There are two wires around the Injector pump. Green and Pink . Pull the pink. I never had any trouble finding filters. I hope i don't in the future.

    need help after spin on filter install

    Bleed the lines / check for leaks. My question is - why change to a spin on filter, unless the current filter setup is busted?

    breaks

    If you can't trust the brakes your in trouble. Rebuild the entire brake system. It's not all that expensive if you do it yourself. Replace all lines. Remove, inspect, and flush out the porportional valve (rear), brass valve on the front bumper, and thouroughly clean the master cylinder. Flush...

    Transmission Pan Question

    Also, I would be really weary about using excess amounts of rtv on the pan of a transmission, with filters that have the same micron rating as my sliding door screen, they seem to be a bit touchy of having anything floating around in there. Use the gasket. Just a small amount of rtv can ruin...

    Filtering wmo with 2 x oil filters

    I've never read any of these filtering threads, but I like the systems mentioned. Mine is very simple. I slowly hand pump the oil into a 1 Micron rated tube filter (It's kinda like a tube sock). The tube sock is hanging over a 55 gallon drum (lid removed). It flows very slow at about 1 gallon an...

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    I have a set of wide aluminum billet hole style rims that would fit. I don't remember the exact width of the rims, but they are much wider than stock and to wide for my taste. If your interested send me a PM.

    Dually Conversion (For looks)

    Just buy the add on kit from JC whitney. They have cut to fit fenders and some type of add a wheel block(rims and tires not included). If its just for looks, youll regret it. Tire prices are still on the rise and you will have less traction in the snow. I personally don't like it, but a set of...
