I had 400ci engines added simple mods, cams, carbs, intakes, headers, ignition systems, 4 gear K30's, and they do drink the fuel under load. They can and do have some drag. Pulling 6 ton skidder plus trailer I would get 8mpg and hope for 10. But under mid throttle and plenty of torque left...

Yep for sure, I use Permatex copper anti seize on anything that I know will need thread protection, taken apart at a later time. I also use it on shock eye, rubber bushings, swaybar bushings, leaf spring bushings, sway bar bushings. You get the idea that I have a lot of uses for the stuff. I...

Starts Better also, new batteries and starter.

I ordered some ACF50 also. Looks like a good product. Thanks Tinstar!

And lots of grease on the finger. And take off the wheel and wheelwell, makes it easier but is more work.

Fram air filter at 12 bits well give me ten!

Hello olly hondro, I like the tube doors. Did you use the stock mounting location and hinges? What about the door strikers? Thanks.

Rust Never Sleeps

Well you could try a salvage outfit for your shaft, or have one built. But I would save the take off parts, driveshaft. Good thing there are still plenty of parts around, unless you live in the rust belt.

Congrats Hillwalker, Enjoy every minute of install, fabrication ahead. I have to look around the forum and see if someone has done a trans doubler. But that is the very kit I would like to try. Good Luck!:p

Its real hard to see, maybe a metal detector?

Maintenance, exercise of the seals, which I believe is movement of the engine and drivetrain if so equipped. Fluid additives I think are also necessary with the age of some of the equipment in that todays fluids do not have the required properties needed for protection. Zinc, sulfur important...

I could not access the video sneekyeye, but did read Chaski's post about the locker. Hopefully has saved me some time, will change fluid, inspect. Thanks

Yes you could call it play? Or backlash?

I drove the 1008 today to pick up some magnetic drain plugs at parts store and got home and kind of felt a little slack in changing gear selector from drive to reverse. Shut down truck, blocked wheels, put in neutral to check u joints. Now the bad news, seems that there is a little movement in...

Mg84648, that is one repair or maintenance area, the propeller shaft that gets overlooked and abused. That is one assembly that when repaired makes you feel great about catching the problem before carnage happens. Did the new universal joints come with grease fittings? Now part of routine...

What yard is the truck in Volvo if you don't mind me asking. What year?

I am still waiting on my SF97. Cant wait to get tags. Then have to decide how to tag? How about some advice on best tags for CUCV in Missouri? Will historic tags work? Thanks MV Owners

Outstanding! I am glad it was so simple yet a pain in the ass. Now you have piece of mind knowing that it is fixed properly. On the other hand now you have to wonder what else the prior owner "has fixed". I forgot to ask if there was a magnet in pan. Keep them doggies moving....

Volvo, sounds like it might be sucking air somewhere. Might be time to replace rubber hose in bent areas. I have replaced most problem areas with either fittings, steel or copper tube. You have to have some hose but you can reduce some of the problems. I start having warning signs and I put on...
