    Hardest time starting when cold

    This year I put in new glow pugs first, which kept the WTS light on longer, a new glow plug controller, which did not seem to do much, and finally two new batteries which made all the difference. Now at 12F without being plugged in, it starts. The old batteries would always hold a charge and...

    Overheated and now blows white smoke

    After many years of owning diesels and operating diesels at work, it pains me to admit, I topped it off with gas!!!! I found out when I was looking over the fuel lines and pulled the filter. The fuel didn't look right. I went back to the station I filled up a a couple of towns away. In high high...

    Overheated and now blows white smoke

    On Thursday I over heated my truck pretty good. I drove a short distance home. On the way, it ran fine however, I noticed the oil pressure would follow the throttle. In the past it always stayed pretty steady. Pulled it up in the driveway no trouble. It was hot! Topped the coolant off tonight...

    Leaf spring bolt removal from truck

    Cut off wheel is the answer. I used a chisel to move the leaf spring end over a bit to get in there. The only sawzall blade to not roast the teeth off 5 seconds after I pulled the trigger was Bosch. It was a real bear aligning the holes. Thanks

    Leaf spring bolt removal from truck

    Can't get the bolt out. I did try rust penetrators, heat, and a hammer. It doesn't turn at all, used a big cheater bar. Because it is not springing back, it must be fused to the shackle.

    Leaf spring bolt removal from truck

    I am trying to replace the bushing, but I can get the bolt out to drop the spring. The nut came off pretty easy, but that is as far as I got. Thanks

    Leaf spring bolt removal from truck

    I have read a bunch of post on removing the bushings, but I can't get that far. The bolts are stuck. Tried sledge hammer and heat. I kept the nut on back out flush with the threads to not mushroom the bolt. What next? A sawzall between the hanger and leaf spring, drop it and then burn/cut the...
