Ended up seelling the truck. Can't remember what the guy that bought it had to put into it to fix it. I think it needed atleast a bearing and maybe a king pin. but not entirely sure.
Alright so I got home and looked at it. The outer coil at the end of the leaf spring isnt tight to the others on either side... on the rear leaf springs all the coils at the mounting point are tight together, but the fronts arent. Could this be the problem? I only have 1 tie rod end that looks...
Thanks for all the responses guys. Sorry I don't have any feedback for you all. I got tied up with college stuff and am about 2 hours from the truck. when i get back this weekend I'll work on it and hopefully have something to tell you all.
Alright so I have an ongoing problem... the truck steering is sticking and then its like it hops over to the other direction. It has a brand new power steering box. It has pretty worn front end components. But also, I mixed the original fluid and power steering fluid a while ago not thinking...
Thanks guys. not necessarily a novice, just wanted another angle on what might be going on. I have a feeling its the box everything else seems tight. I'll make sure I go back over everything again. I've dealt with steering, this it just something new and weird that I've never felt before...
Soo having problems with the truck... again. Problem just started. I can be driving perfectly straight down the road, steering working perfect. Then the truck will suddenly pull left most of the time sometimes right. This happens while driving straight down the road. It won't let me correct...
Truck started perfectly today, glow plugs seemed to work right with the switch and everything. let it idle for probably 20 min. Got out to it so i could take it to the gym and at the same time see if everything was working well. The voltmeter was working today? but was reading like one of the...
Update: Got the alternators back in, batteries hooked up, started her up and it ran at idle for about 30 min when I shut it off. The Voltmeter definitely Isn't working, it started up and ran anyway
I pull them every time I recharge them. I thought about getting them tested but they're literally about 2 months old. It's my DD I've been freeloading off my family for the past couple weeks and it kills me to have to ask them for help. But yeah tomorrow is supposed to be 15, which is slightly...
Noo sorry if that was taken as me cursing you for asking if I checked it was total miscommunication. I was just saying that it was real cold, I have a tendency to use explicit language in my everyday talking. Thank you for your input. I honestly havent checked much of anything past the 12V buss...
Its all good man... Youd be doing me a huge favor anyway no worries. and sorry warthog.. I sensored it myself it that makes any difference. wont happen again
@ranchhopper, i tried to call you yesterday, no answer left a message. I feel like if its anything that has failed it would be a solenoid to the glow plugs, but I dont know where to test that. and I dont think it would effect the 12v buss because the glow plugs are still 24V
Soo the truck is still down. rebuilt alternators... guess that wasn't the problem. I was doing another parasitic draw test today and it drained the batteries while I was testing it... about 25 min. both alternators unhooked. I can't seem to figure this out... the weirdest part of the whole thing...
