    Rocking felt in front 1/3 of vehicle, out of balance tire or?

    Removing these appears to have helped after taking a short ride today: about 3/4 of what came out of the 10 tires, started saving them to show you guys once I realized how much there was

    Rocking felt in front 1/3 of vehicle, out of balance tire or?

    I don't feel any play in the wheel but I will inspect the tie rod ends. Tires are not cupping. Truck was through Depot 3-11. Would they have replaced the shocks out of normal routine, what kind of inspection can be done on the shocks? Thanks!

    Rocking felt in front 1/3 of vehicle, out of balance tire or?

    Driveshafts/u joints look fine, I went through and greased the truck and inspected them as I greased them. They front tires do have some rocks stuck in them so I plan knockin them out and spinning the front wheels. Size of them are up to or around an inch so maybe that's all it is. I'd laugh...

    Rocking felt in front 1/3 of vehicle, out of balance tire or?

    hey, I've noticed that the truck gets into a bad oscillation around 30-40 mph and the whole front of the cab feels like it is being tossed around. Feels like an out of balance tire but I don't feel anything in the wheel like you would in a car. I am familiar with hopping from the rear axles...

    Draining Fuel Filter - M923a2

    if you are looking for the big filter make sure to look up WIX PN 33401 not 44301 if you plan on using that part, there is a typo in the spreadsheet.

    M923 Fuel filter/water separator issues, won't drain, can't prime

    Well I tried warming it up and it still wouldn't give. I got it to rotate clockwise about 15 degrees and then wound up with the handle in my hand.... Either it was seized and or the paint that they sprayed down over the whole engine bay got up in there... New one on the...

    Quick note, Is the PN for the WIX filter here correct? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoJuiPMjMpsVdC1OLTN2WGtXNzVNcUsxVnotLXZYUlE#gid=0 Shouldn't it be 33401 instead of 44301? I saw someone in a later post corrected this. I have one on order from amazon now so as soon as this...

    M923 Fuel filter/water separator issues, won't drain, can't prime

    Loosening the bolt is what I planned on doing but not until I know I can prime the system. It is on the plan on things to do but it went from #1 to #2 job thanks to the primer pump being bumped to #1 LOL

    M923 Fuel filter/water separator issues, won't drain, can't prime

    It is 38 degrees out right now. I got some wd40 on the primer, it does not say twist to lock. I just figured it was due to there being an opening for something to slide through on the nut it goes through. I'm going to let it think about how bad its been for the next couple hours and see if it...

    M923 Fuel filter/water separator issues, won't drain, can't prime

    Hey, M923 I was following page 3-27 of the operators guide to draining the water out of the fuel filter and ran into a few issues. 1) There is no top inlet valve, just a 90 degree turn towards the rear of the vehicle I was thinking of cracking the filter open to let it drain. Before doing...

    M939, what are the air lines on the park brake doing?

    Mine too sounds like it lets the air out when applying the parking brake. Anyone have a good explanation of the air circuit involved in this?
