Do you have the stock filter arrangement? If so have you opened the drains on the filters to see if there is and water? It would take a lot of water to get to the pump though. Are the screens in the pumps clean? When you have it in the prime position are you getting fuel back to the tank? When...

I NEVER use those easy outs! They are designed to do just the opposite of what you want to do, they tighten the bolt in the hole. The best trick I have found is to place a nut over the offending broken bolt and crank the mig way up and weld through the hole in the nut directly to the end of the...

He is planning on driving it not parting it. The 6.5 is not a bad engine, like the 6.2 it is underpowered but they get fantastic fuel mileage. Does it have the 700R4 trans?

Welcome, everyone on here from NJ seems to be either far north of me or far south of me. I am dead center of the state. Rick

Sorry,I didn't see your post from the 18th. Yes camber is adjustable. The body being bent down will affect steering going down the road but not in the way you describe. You seriously need to look at the underbody and check the uni-body rails! If they are rotted out, which is what will cause what...

Depends on whether he was wrapping a duct or a duck. WOW, Not only jumped the track with this one but drove off down the road!:whistle::lol::lol:

Thanks for risking your equipment for this test. I am not in the slightest bit a generator engineer so I get to sit back and soak this all in. Is it possible to do damage on the DC side by running to slow? Also, another thought, If there were a load on the generator at the time you idled it down...

This is about to get interesting!!

There you go! Welcome to the forum. The current crop of generators coming out of G/L all seem to have some sort of issues. Some are cheap and easy like a good cleaning of the fuel system and others are much more expensive like missing V/R boards and locked up engines. Always preview the set and...

Jerry, MEP's are NOT a hobby for you, they are an addiction!:twisted:

Probably got run over by his trailer pulling it with an S10 pick-up.:?

I tried to warn you about jumping into another thread. PM me if you have any questions on how to find what you are looking for. If you keep trying on this thread they will suspend your posting privileges! I will not offer again. Rick

Larrry, You might be better off opening a new thread instead of jumping in the middle of this one. You will get more answers that way. Rick

And I said, "All of the same things pertain". Death wobble is most of the time caused by something other than ball joints or king pins. It is usually found in the steering system somewhere. One thing that has not been mentioned is wheel bearings and spindles. I used to own a 4X4 shop so I saw a...

All of the same things pertain except it is much easier to detect worn ball joints. Jack under the axle and put a pry bar under the tire and pry up and down, if there is play the lower ball joint is bad. Grab the top of the tire and push in and out, if you have play the upper is bad. Ball joints...

Engineers! How do you figure when the spring compresses it decreases force on the bushing? It is bearing directly on the bushing. The upper king pin is slightly tapered towards the top and the only force on that joint is lateral so as it gets lateral force the bushing will try to ride up the...

Sorry, I didn,t see the links. I am old fashioned and use regular URL links.

OK, We all know about idling a military generator. BIG No-No. I have a question. Is there any way of disconnecting the critical generating components without disconnecting the engine operating system? Example #1, Can I unplug the generator controllers from the control box but still have the...

Marcus, We just went through all of this in another thread. Two of us even provided our own third party experiences with the government inspections. You were part of that thread, why rehash it again here? Here is the thread...

Just so you know, king pins and ball joints are different setups.
