    Fkd stuff up need help!!!!!!!!

    :confused:If the broken piece is pretty close to the surface an effective way I extract them when I brake off an easy out is to weld a nut to the broken stud. Just place the nut over the hole and plug weld from the end of the bolt out. You can do this without damage to the engine or threads...

    Body Lift???

    You just have to take the bolt out either on the top or bottom of the ujoint in the steering shaft under tha dash, then you install the extension that was included in the kit then tighten the bolts. It only extends the steering about an inch and half or so but it is really straight forward. If...

    update on my psd turbo kit

    I just did a body lift on my truck this weekend. I bought a 3" from Summit Racing Equip. It cost me $81 after shipping. I think factoring in ones time that is cheaper than building the lift. And it comes with the steering extension,front bumper lift brackets,and Fan shroud brackets to keep the...

But unpleasant none the less in the diesel industry is airline antifreeze(basically liquid methane).:puke:I pulled a no brainer one day winterizing a converter dolly and took a shot of the stuff to the face at about 100psi. :eek: The burning of...

    New member, old truck

    Nice Looking Rig! All these trucks are works in progress, Some farther along than others but none the less all cool. My favorite part is that I can always find somethig to alter,remove,replace,or modify in some way which keeps me busy and out of trouble for the most part until I pull it out on...

    projects to the truck

    I agree PB blaster at least daily if not more for about a week is the way to go. As the engine heats and cools the oil actually works its way in between the bolt and the head breaking the corrosion seal. Heat will help but be careful you just want to warm the area direct flame is a different...

    I myself have experienced something opposite. Although I did not install stacks. I did install a pretty short 4" straight pipe that dumps out right behind and below the pass side door.
