The cold brings out the little "gremlins" that cause a lot of trouble in transmissions. A good way to keep your older TH400 operating well is to let the truck fully warm-up before driving. I will start up my truck and go do something else for 15 to 20 minutes. By then it will be warm inside the...

The AW71 is a great transmission. It is made by Aisin Warner and their designation is the "03-71" transmission. It is also used in Toyotas. Like any good transmission if you take care of it, it can last a long time but like I mentioned earlier time is the killer of all rubber products. Granted...

What was the name of the shop ? If they are doing crappy work the word needs to get out.

That's what I've said all along, so when you get people who make crazy statements you need to have them back it up with proof. Or else your just spouting off BS which helps no one. True facts is what we need to help and advance our hobby. That is one reason this site has done so well. People...

That's what I was thinking to. If the belt is tight then it is the compressor. Not the first time I heard one like this that was trashed inside.

You know Chris this new job is seriously getting in the way of your most important work ! Mainly helping here on Steel Soldiers ! Just saying. :wink:

No, that is why you check the "Better Business Bureau" for a good shop. There are plenty of half-assed shops out there, but there is also really good shops. You just need to do your "due diligence" in checking them out. Also I'm still waiting for a picture of your 1989 Volvo with 300,000 miles...

Those are steel ? Then wow ! He did a great job on them !

I have stayed pretty much with "ORD" for all my aftermarket stuff. I have never had a problem with their products or their service.

First off you have a miss in the engine. Check and clean your injectors. Second you have a belt squealing. It more then likely is the air-compressor belt. Do you make air pressure ? If not then the compressor is bad. It also could be the water pump. Check your coolant flow by feeling the upper...

Your correct about properly adjusting the backlash on the PTO gears. They should be around 0.006" to 0.012" clearance. Any more and you will get what I call "gear flop" . That is when the gears have to much lash and they flop back and forth between the gears. This can lead to teeth breaking on...

At work I used to have a 50ft spool of 10 gauge wire with soldered alligator clips on it. It worked great to test for bad wires with my Digital meter and running power to circuits.

Hello everyone. Yesterday I started cleaning out the S250 shelter I got off auction last summer. There are a few items I don't know what they do. So can someone tell me what these are. These two pictures are of a "mount, resilient" MT-6146/VSQ-1 . So something mounts into it, but what ...

Those are some nice aluminum pieces, but can he make them out of steel ?

Volvo740turbo, do you have any pictures of your car ? Also a picture of the transmission would be nice. That way I could figure out what model of transmission it has. Some are better then others.

I'm sorry I haven't been reading posts as much lately. The wife is dealing with her moms home. Her mother passed away last month and my wife and her brother are going through everything. That left me here taking care of the ongoing construction and the boy. I got your PM and I'll post my answer...

WOW ! That looks like one of those "surreal" paintings ! Like the one with all those funky clocks. You think it's a truck with it's camper but it's not ! It's a bed-less truck "towing" it's camper ! WOW, that blows the mind !

OK let me see if I got your question right. Your saying you shouldn't run a deuce without an air-dryer in extreme cold conditions, correct ? You can run it fine a long as your up on the maintenance. Of course if there is some water in the system then it will freeze and can cause a lack of...

Whatever you do don't stuff your coveralls down the hole ! One of the mechanics at IHC in Tukwilla WA. did that. It ate the coveralls and still kept running ! After the rebuild (yes it needed a complete overhaul after that) there was pieces of coverall all inside that engine.

Then your due to have some seals go south on you soon. Some pictures of your car and dash would be nice to dispel any doubters out there.
