    Rear glass replacement question

    Craigslist window is $25. Not sure if it's worth the hassle. Removing the window and getting it to seal seems tricky.

    Rear glass replacement question

    One of the sliding pieces is broken on my rear window. Is it possible to replace only the slider or does the whole assembly need to be replaced? I found someone selling the whole assembly on craigslist, but one of the non-sliding pieces is broken. Not sure if I can cannibalize the pieces or not...

    Some funny starter problems that i seem to have fixed, now i have trust issues

    Holy ****. I'm totally gonna buy one of those DB starters. Half the cost of my local auto parts store. I never thought about buying parts from amazon... Also, once the rain quits i'll check out the starter bolts too. It doesn't seem that anyone replaces just the bendix, i'm guessing this is...

    More specifically, is this evidence of a bigger problem?

    Some funny starter problems that i seem to have fixed, now i have trust issues

    My 1990 f250 NA IDI refused to start the other day while i was out. It made a single loud clunk when i would turn the key. This happend several times parked in the Safeway parking lot before it finally started. I drove the truck home and parked. It refused to start after that. I started by load...

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    However, the sad news is that while bleeding the brakes i discovered that my front caliper was leaking. Looks like i must have ****** up the threads when installing the speed bleeder screws. Looks like i'll be replacing my front caliper and pads next. Is it bad to just do one at a time? It...

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    Oh, and my shoes came with the guides installed making it really hard to mix them up. Glad they did, i'd have likely mixed things up otherwise.

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    Whelp, it turns out that I do in fact have a limited slip rear diff. I learned that i can check to see what kind of rear diff these trucks have by looking at the tab attached to the diff...it'll have an L next to some numbers if it's limited. I also learned, thanks to u/punkmechanic, that i can...

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    Ok, that makes more sense. I've got 4wd and so it seems like i also have a limited slip diff. I was really worried for a moment that i had accidentally uncovered some major problem with my truck.

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    Also, i just went and poked at the truck...and my wheels are both turning the same direction. The way i would expect them to if the axle was solid. For what it's worth, the truck was running great before i decided to do the brakes and i've put 10 or 15 thousand miles on it without much issue.

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    Huh, does it make a difference that i've been trying to do this whole process with both wheels off of the ground? as far as letting 'em wear in, how long would that take? seems like i'd want to check and see if they're actually broken in at some point...think i'd worry that i'd burn up my new shoes.

    A couple questions about rear drum brake adjustment

    I replaced my shoes and rear wheel cylinders and all the associated hardware. Now i'm trying to adjust the rear brakes before bleeding the system. I've turned the start wheel to what feels like it's limit in both directions. One direction locks the wheel (as expected) the other direction loosens...

    fuel return line replacement - some questions

    Huh. Good to know about the caps melting. I didn't see any obvious signs of carnage on the caps when i replaced the return lines. Would the injector leak compression/exhaust gasses into the return line or into the fuel supply line? If it's going into the supply line would that still melt the...
