    very common, I did 2 trucks in one week not to long ago, but you need to pull it all out and asses from there, you have a 75% or better chance that the bolts are Finger loose and just need to be hit with some heat.

    Fuel leak from injectors?

    Look into the valley of the engine, the leak may be the injection pump and the fuel is leaking out of the valley drain, it exits just above the oil filter. you don’t have your vehicle model and year listed so it’s just a guess, it’s also possible the drain back lines are leaking on the...

    Smart box question

    Any other box other than an S3 is garbage, the yellow label Nartrons are notorious for stuck GP timers, if that light is on? You are getting voltage to the GP’s…and that’s not good.

    A slipping transfer case isn’t the end of the world, some of your statements are assumptions on your part, but I’d rather not go into that, I’ve sold many many trucks into the EU, I can first hand tell you how they are broken when they arrive because of boneheads at the transport companies and...

    Transmission or reducer issue in 1152A1

    Make sure the detent spring and plunger are still present, I’ve had more than a few trucks from the auction missing these parts because they drained the Tcase fluid as part of Demil and transport from overseas via the detent plug…some are missing the plunger, others missing both the spring and...
