    Oil Leaking Down Filter

    Look at the top of the engine in back. Many have discovered leaks that run down the back of the engine/bell housing. Valve covers or the manifold might be places to start looking. Good Luck as these can be difficult to find. Oh and Welcome to Oil Burners! Fill out your signature with the...

    Truck died when switching gears, can’t figure out why!

    It would NOT be a good idea to take apart your IP. This is a very precise pump with specific timing. If you think the IP is bad you could contact a reputable rebuilder. There are a couple here.

    Comprehensive list of must have tools

    I keep a 1/2" impact electric wrench in my vehicles all the time. Helps with tire changing, if needed, and any other heavy wrenching.

    Spinning Hub Stud

    Unless you can heat treat it, you will warp the flange. Also drilling welds is difficult.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Arizona "But it is DRY heat!" It is still HOT. I went to the UofA in Tucson back in the late 1960s and 70s. I went to Houston, TX around the same time and I felt the difference between DRY heat and Texan heat. Like getting out of a hot ****** shower.

    Dodge 3500 towing

    They maybe reliable but accurate? NO! What does Hot mean? 200 degrees or 220 degrees? This is why I always use after market gauges. Whose gauges is your call.

    Dodge 3500 towing

    Oil Pressure, Water Temperature are the main two that you should have. Voltage is one you can choose if towing might cause an electrical issue.

    Aggressive unidentifiable shake.

    One more thing to check; the pinon shaft and the tranny output shaft should be at the same angle (approximately). Shim the axle up or down using wedge shims.

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    I was working on a framing job and one of the workers shot his foot to the sub flooring. We called the fire dept and they came out and we all struggled to get the nail up enough to cut it off with a SAWZALL. The worker was screaming his lungs out!!!!

    Anyone else seeing broken front shock mounts?

    YES 3/4 inch toe in is too much. I remember setting my F-350 4X4 to 1/8 to 1/4 inch toe in. Death wobble can be the result.

    88 7.3 IDI Slow start with fast battery drain and heat

    You wrote "it doesn’t have any resistance" that means zero ohms or a short. The starter is your problem.

    You will need a temp gauge to see if you are running cool enough. With that aluminum radiator you should have no problem.

    12V power for accessories

    You can bolt it to anything that is cast iron on the motor. Not a valve cover or any other sheet metal.
