    Greasing question concerning the 2 allen grease plugs in the steering axles

    Yea the cross u joint type don't have a grease zerk. When there was the old ball type of CV joint they would use a long needle type grease injector and try and get the grease up onto the CV joint. If the mechanic knew the feel of the needle / joint he would feel when it hits the CV and try to...

    Did I throw a belt?

    If you can find the right tools to get the outer half of the pully to unscrew off is the first task. You might get lucky and it is only some what tight then your ahead of the game. As said above first the two jam bolts to let the outer half of the pully be able to screw off just like any nut...

    Bleeding brakes

    Myself I got to ace hardware and get there one gallon sprayer. If you remove just the tip of the wand it leaves the plastic threads. Remove the fitting on top of the master cylinder cap and screw on the wand. With just the cap and wand attached replace the cap onto the master. Then with gallon...

    Greasing question concerning the 2 allen grease plugs in the steering axles

    My thoughts is when the first axles came out they were ball bearing CV type not cross needle bearings. They called for grease to be injected in there. I have not seen a newer 5 ton with ball type axle ( 70's and up). I do not believe you could ever get grease into a cross type ujoint. When I do...

    Advanced timing or as you believe something is not correct with all cylinders or injection. That puts to much load on the engine and the valves are talking. If you have ever driven a farm tractor and put it in high gear when you take off the valves ping just as it starts to get going. I would...

    What is this?

    That is to be used in extream emergencys. That is the cab boost line and the line to the intake manifold is not hook up. In extream emergencys like you need to double your speed or your passenger has diarrhea they can open it up and it gives you 110 lbs of boost. It is a one time use only...

    Fuel tank crud..

    OK I will find a station that has it and try it in a jar to see how long it takes to dissolve it. I am betting it will not just make it a liquid in a short time just sitting there. From reading more looks like there are some chemicals that are offered but they are very dangerous. I got lucky I...

    Fuel tank crud..

    If biodiesel would cut it how would straight vegetable oil do? I still have the tanks sitting around and thinking about trying some just for smits and giggles. The correct name for the tar is asphaltenes and seems to be a big problem in the oil fields too.

    Fuel tank crud..

    Is it like tar on the bottom. That stuff I forget the name but large storage tanks and large fuel bunkers for ships can have the problem. I had two tanks that had it and just replaced the tanks. I tried gasoline and it soften it a bit but then it just made it harder. From what I have read heat...

    Fuel injection pump compensator bypassed.......

    Just because there is a sticker on the oil filters you need to take a pic and show us or read up and be sure it is bypassed. I have seen the sticker on one engine but the FDC was not bypassed.

    If you suspect a cylinder not firing you must find out. You could have trash blocking a port in the HH. You could have a injector not popping or even piston problems. You can use a screw driver or stethoscope and listen to each injector for uniform popping. You could feel or IR gun on the...
