That just means you will still be here once us old farts are gone !

Yes, I'm not to pleased about the DEF fluid and filter system either. The only problem with buying used is, if you don't know who owned the vehicle and how they took care of it you just gambling that this will be a good vehicle.

So your a locksmith now. I could have used your expertise a few days ago ! I needed a lock rekeyed (lost the keys) . It was one of those circular locks. Cost me $45.00 for two new keys. Your pretty close about the oil pressure. You need the pressure, but the flow is the most important part...

I never heard of this class action lawsuit ! I wonder how far back it goes ? My brothers 1 ton Silverado is a 2014 and his injectors and pump went out on him after 80,000 miles. I asked what brand of additive he was using and he said none. Then he said the dealership asked him if he used a good...

The dealership recommended "Stanadyne" but I've used "Opti-Lube XPD" for years now in all my other diesel engines with excellent rusults. So I've just stuck with the Opti-Lube. Yes my truck was a special order. Took six months to get it. It has the 6.6 DuraMax diesel along with the Allison six...

WOW ! The same job for 40 years. That is extremely rare in todays world. They better give you the gold watch when you retire ! So your a mechanical engineer. Have you ever looked at the deuce rear tailgate ? A while back I was trying to figure out a simple way of lowering and raising that...

I would seriously consider replacing all your copper lines with some DOT Poly lines. Very reasonably priced and will last your lifetime. You can even reuse the brass fittings. Just get new ferrules and your good to go.

That is one nice truck you have there "brian" !

Your not the only guy who wants a nice commercial sewing machine ! The things one can do with a good machine is endless ! Especially if your a military collector like we all are. Canvas is everywhere on military vehicles. The cost to have stuff like that made is extremely high. Better if you...

I agree it is better to have a shop do it. I have the special tools and they cost more then $10.00. More like $250.00 for the different punches needed. They are all special sizes and shapes for the different types of rivets. Then there is the learning curve. How many linings are you going to go...

In todays truck world, the air pressure should be set to 120 PSI. That is industry standard.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a IHC 1200 ! That was a great truck. Wished I still had the ones I had just a few years ago.

Over the years I have thought of buying a nice commercial sewing machine so I could sew canvas and leather items. The amount of money needed and all the other equipment needed to properly sew those changed my mind. I still look though.

So you must have a commercial sewing machine then. I had a friend that used to make canvas products. He had a large commercial machine he bought and did jobs on the side to pay for it.

I know the transmission can be built up to handle the torque. Almost any transmission can be modified to handle tremendous power. The problem is the cost and the factory is not gong to spend that kind of money modifying their transmissions. Also, if you modify the Allison it can handle...

In 1979 I was working at "Neals Detroit Diesel" on Allison transmissions. Looking back, that was a pretty good job.

That's very true.

Nothing a little high speed grinder cannot take care of !

Now that is interesting. I first heard of the Torsen/Gleason back in 1979. That is why I assumed it was designed then. I didn't see any applications for it until the 1980's though. I guess I need to quite posting things from my memory. Now that there is Wikipedia anyone can become an "expert" by...
