My best friend has a 1986 Chevy 1 ton crewcab dually with the 454 in it. That thing is a monster and when running "premium fuel" can beat most cars off the line ! Of course he has a good cam and manifold added ! The only problem is the mileage ! When you get on it you can almost see the fuel...

Good right up Dave911 !

Are they the 6 bolt ones ? and how much do you want for one ?

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh whenever I hear about people having problems getting this bolt out. I have never had a problem removing or installing this bolt, but then I'm used to removing stuff like the rear Breda motor mounts that required two 18" 1/2" extensions (one with the wobbly end) , a...

You don't want to know what I carry ! Right now I'm setting up my M105 trailer for my Alaskan Expedition and it will have my tool box from work in it. At the last inventory (for insurance purposes) I had over $50,000.00 worth of tools in it. Yes I know I'm paranoid, but just because I'm paranoid...

These are pictures of a torque converters nose (snout) that must fit into the end of the crankshaft. All torque converters are aligned this way, even the big "Allisons" . This torque converter is for a Chrysler 440 .

That's good.

Are you running silicone brake fluid ?

Another thing it could be is the torque converter nose or "snout" that aligns in the crankshaft. If this is the wrong size then it would not "index" correctly with the flexplate. There are "bushings" you can buy for under sized noses that are pressed into the crankshaft. Or there could have been...

I'm pretty sure they are close to our buss tires and they weigh in at just over 300 Ibs . We had a tire worker at my base that was a semi-pro "power lifter" . He could pick-up a complete tire assembly and throw it up on a stack eight high ! I saw him a few years ago and he had had several...

I totally agree about keeping old parts around. You never know when that small bracket or adapter or wire or whatever is needed until your trying to buy a new one ! I guess I got this way from my father who lived through the "Great Depression". In that day you never threw anything away since...

The GM 6.2 and 6.5 diesels are all externally balanced. If the shop replaced the factory flexplate (which it looks like they did) then they probably replaced it with a regular Chevy "Gas" engine which are all "internally" balanced. The factory flexplate should have 6 mounting holes for the...

You might have bought them a year and a half ago, but that doesn't mean they are that old. I bought one that lasted 6 months. The rubber was starting to get hard, but I ignored that and installed them anyway. Now I will never go with rubber lines again if I can help it.

Replace your hose's. This is a common problem. The inner lining starts to break down and you can get "flaps" of lining that act as valves holding brake fluid in or not allowing brake fluid to enter. I went with the PTFE hose for mine years ago and have had no problems since. These are the same...

Your right about the sticking piston issue. I have worked on 4 piston calipers on our buses and some other vehicles and they can be a pain.

Problem is almost all calipers are sliders. It is extremely costly to build 4 piston calipers and only aftermarket has them except for a very few high-end vehicles.

Sounds like "lawsuit" time for the builder !

I know what you mean. Up here in the Pacific Northwest the summers are so dry we get forest fires every year. Then in the fall and winter we get so much rain the ground is saturated and then the winds come and blow the trees down. Then in the spring because of the water the vegetation grows so...

There are three types of rear PTO's for our deuce. One is the "dual shaft" PTO which has a front and rear shaft. The second is the "Transfer-Case" PTO. The third is a "rear shaft" only PTO. I have one of those I took off my Decontaminant Deuce. The transmission TM mentions them.

As long as it's an inch forward that's progress ! I just hate it when you thought you finished a project and then found out you did something wrong or left something out ! That is a step backwards ! I'll take the inch forward any day !
