Starter Kickback
I took off the starter when I got back from Florida and checked it out. The spring on the starter gear is very weak and I can see wear marks on the gear where it was hitting the flywheel when the engine shakes and kicks back during shutdown. I took it to the starter shop and the guy said not...- Bucky

Starter Kickback
When I shut down there is a sound kind of like the starter is getting spun by the flywheel just a bit. It could be something else but I don’t have any idea what. Any thoughts? Bucky- Bucky

Fuel Pressure Flutter
With normal driving the fuel pressure will stay around 10 lbs. Recently my fuel pressure gauge has started fluttering or bouncing when I accelerate or when the truck is under a load. When it bounces it will go from about 6 to 20 lbs. and fast enough that it is kind of a blur. When I let off the...- Bucky

Lost 5th gear
I lost 5th gear two days ago. (830 miles from home.) From what I have read, when the nut backs off the engine will race but there isn't any gear noise. When my 5th gear went, there was a grinding noise. 1) Does that sound like the splines on the shaft wore off? 2) I would be interested in...- Bucky

AC/Heater Fan
Thanks guys. Jared, I found the resister and it seemed to be working fine but a corner of it fell off in my hand so I went to NAPA to get a blower motor and resister. The motor was $67 and the resister was 80 something so I got just the motor. I haven’t had a problem since. Why doesn’t my...- Bucky

AC/Heater Fan
I cleaned the terminals on the plug down by the fan and put some OxGuard on it. It seems to run better now but I won’t know for sure till I drive the truck for a few hours. Bucky- Bucky

AC/Heater Fan
I went to the bone yard and got a fan switch. No change so I guess I’ll try the blower motor. Bucky- Bucky

Front Wheel Bearing Source
I think I have a front wheel bearing going out. Last time I needed a front wheel bearing I had to get one from the dealer that was already pressed in the hub for close to $300.00. I went to Motion Industries and they found a supplier that had the bearing but the supplier wouldn't sell it to...- Bucky

AC/Heater Fan
My ac/heater fan has started running at irregular speeds lately. It will run fine for the first hour or so and then it will start acting funny. It may change speeds 3 or 4 times in one minute. Sometimes it runs so slow that I have to shut off the engine to hear it but it doesn’t stop completely...- Bucky
