Why would one need to pull the rockers and pushrods if the cam stays in? Bear in mind. I'm thinking like a gasser...

I've read that the cam gear can be pulled with a decent three leg puller. That would be the route I'd go. That or find a diesel shop and throw money at them...

I may be losing oil there also... for sure it's a crack in the cover though. Plenty visible. Went to check the rear air compressor bracket bolts and much to my surprise, one broken, one missing and one loose as a goose! In the future checking these bolts at every oil change is a must.

Well well... diagnosing an oil leak lead me to the dreaded front gear case crack! She really started leaking bad a few months ago and yes, I did inspect my compressor support bracket about a year ago and it was intact and the bolts were tight. Craptastic! Not sure I have bandwidth to repair...

The other day when parking my 16k air brake equipped trailer, I inadvertently unhooked the trailer supply gladhand whilst the knob was still in the supply position. It seems to me that there should have been a blast of air? No such... the trailer brakes work fine but it's always taken a long...

Long and very steep... never noticed it smoking before. Longer steeper and heavier pulls. The leak repair will suck. Pulling the power steering doesn't sound fun.

Been driving the heck out of this truck! She is behaving pretty well. Still need to finish the ac and do the sound and heat reduction stuff... finally got a cargo cover and frame and I love it! Brand new three color! She started leaking oil and I need to steam clean it so I can find the issue...

Any other thoughts? Stuck valve? Now I have little confidence in it and I drive it a lot...aaaargh!

Interesting issue today, while I was attempting to back up on the icy corner to pick up my generator for servicing, I slid into the ditch and got stuck. I think a locker is required soon... While attempting to extricate myself, I heard a massive whooshing and the low air warning went off. After...

Have not driven her for a few days and went out to light the fire. 10 degrees. A little ether button and violá, of she goes! Oil pressure came up right away. The CTIS did the all light blinky thing so I unplugged it and forgot about it til the truck came up to temp in the cab, boy, that took a...

The label is toast but I'd venture a guess that it's a warn in some type of grove made box specifically for the lmhc. I'll dig up more pictures of it.

Not sure if they are the same. The pic of mine is all I have. I've looked for a high amp pair for the other and no luck so far...

You are too kind. I have been breaking and building things as a hobby for 30 years.

Spent some quality time in the shop fabricating parts for my lmhc. Just need the connectors for the winch and I can complete it. These are proving hard to find. Have a cheapo temp winch mounted for now. I have a mast and boom extra to build another or trade for things I may want. Sent from...

My shift keypad has a small tear on the neutral button and doesn't like to select gears when it's cold. Any thoughts as RP to taking it apart to clean the contacts or a replacement? It is wtec 2.

Worked her hard last week pulling a 15k load up a 6 mile 8% grade. She did fine. Slow but plenty of power to get there... when I got home, I noticed the ujoint and yoke on the front side of the transfer case was wet. Trans fluid, dripping slowly! This should be no fun. Hopefully find time to...

Also looking for info on a winter front. Already my truck takes for ever to reach operating temp and it's not cold yet...

I've been looking for the elusive LMHC aka crane for my LMTV and finally found several parts but still incomplete units. Anyone hoarding any parts? I will likely have a few extra parts.

Compressor is in! Discerning eyes will catch the one lower bolt isn't tight. That boss on the bracket is located poorly. I haven't yet decided how to punish it into submission. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Success! After rereading the install write up, I realized the trans cooler bracket spacer was the issue! Nearly ready for a compressor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
