Wheel spacers to remove dogtrack
100% certain. even though they use cone seating, the weight transfer is at the hub ring, not at the studs. bottom line, it's your truck, do what you want to do. when something goes wrong and the accident investigator hangs it onto you, deal with it then.- towcat

Wheel spacers to remove dogtrack
86 and up wheels are hub centered. as long as you get spacers that have the hub centering feature, you're good. another thing you can do to push out your rear wheels is to put in a pickup dually rear axle and run singles.- towcat

Not a diesel but still down! Toyota help!
i'm trying to determine if you busted a timing or not. if you did break a belt, the motor will spin almost twice as fast since there is no compression.- towcat

Flywheel Fiasco
years ago, I used to clean up on good used dual mass flywheels due to misdiagnosis. unless you are missing springs on your dual mass flywheel, be absolutely sure your injection system is in top shape before condemming a flywheel. often a lazy injector will cause a flywheel to go ******* due to...- towcat

FS 1986 F-250 6.9 Diesel 4x4 $8,500

At least you're away from the salt air of the outer sunset. GLWS. :D- towcat
