OE front spring bushing: Learn from my mistake and do not use "thin metal" blades. I am the proud new owner of four butter knives after not managing to cut all the way through one bushing sleeve: Contemplated my lack of 10 ton presses, ball joint presses, compressors, air hammers, and...

Godspeed.

So it's a flywheel noise. I've been hearing it less and less often, which made me stop worrying about it, but maybe my starter is getting ready to fall out. Thanks for the tip, @WWRD99 Now let's unhijack CUCVRUS's thread. :censored:

If you have a south-facing gable on your barn, that'd be a great place to rack up some solar panels. They've never been cheaper. Believe it or not, I did look into the GM crate EV swap for the K5, but details were too thin and I felt like I'd get in over my head right quick.

Bell housing? I could swear the sound was coming from above the fuel tank, but I kept thinking it was the exhaust rattling against something.

Since nobody addressed the fuel dribble, if it's coming from beneath the passenger side generator, it's probably your lift pump. If you're going to dig in, you might as well replace the hoses while you're in there. I didn't and lived to regret it.

Here's the channel I'm asking about: https://www.youtube.com/@CUCVCliff-do6gx I had questions about the resolution to the leaf spring bushing situation, but there was never a follow-up.

If that noise you describe sounds like a bell ringing on an old telephone, let me know if you find it. I've been hunting that noise for six months. It started up after some heavy off-roading.

Here I thought people were crazy for installing full side roller glass in squarebodies, but I guess I see now why they do it. What type of critter is that, @cucvrus ?

My experience with an open element filter on the 6.2: Blowby flows right through the tuna can, out the intake, gets sucked in the windows or the HVAC, and blows directly in my face. My dog doesn't like to get in the truck anymore because he knows it's a gas chamber. The airbox strangling the...

Alright, folks. Talk to me like I'm a fool because I am. I got into my wheel wells for the first time, and the only 4x4 I ever owned before was a Suzuki Samurai. I did put some new brake pads and slide pins on my M1009 yesterday and it made all the difference, but it looks like the rotors are...

Palloid gears are sort of like twin perpendicular, helical-cut sprockets instead of a ring and worm? I never heard the word before now and Google image searches weren't particularly instructive.

This sounds like a sponsored post or a promotion, but it isn't. I was all business for years and for all the times I've been on RockAuto's website, I never clicked the "Show Closeouts Only" button at the bottom of the Year/Make/Model/Engine menu, because it was extraneous to whatever task I was...

Doesn't the NP205 run gear oil? I know the NP208 runs ATF, which is the only reason I haven't been in a rush to replace the rear seal on my TH400, but if a transmission can leak ATF into a transfer case that's supposed to run gear oil, that sounds like it could be a rapidly developing problem.

You know, I actually had a 1980 C10 with the factory Olds block, but the guts and top end had been swapped for gas stuff from a Delta 88 or something back when it was a utility service vehicle. I guess they figured cutting the compression more than half would stop the heads blowing off. Real...

I've got another OE filter housing you can have. It's likely to sit in the cooler that seals in all the diesel stink from my fuel system junk for the rest of my life if I don't give it away.

I was just going to put a little heat shrink on them, but this sounds like a much better idea.

Makes sense they'd have boots on them. Wonder why mine are all naked. I'll sort this out after I get moved. Just about done buying a house.

I don't think it'll come to that, but that's a pretty decent price in the x25 bracket where we can do three entire engines for less than three bucks apiece.
