    passenger side valve cover gasket tips

    If I remember right, I removed my alternator. Then was able to reach all the bolts.

    Return cap dimentions

    I don’t have dimensions, but the Delphi kit I got last year had an extra one in it. If you want it I can send it to you and you could reverse engineer it. I only have the straight one, didn’t get any extra corner ones.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I have always had good luck with Walmart’s batteries. I remember reading somewhere there’s only a few producers anyway so it’s probably the same as more expensive ones. I used to work there and someone came in with a big excursion saying we sold him a bad battery. The policy was to replace it no...

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    I had a 2003 Taurus and those were the most awful headlights I’ve ever had. I had to do the polish a couple of times a year just to be able to see anything. I remember the high beams were worse than the lows. Snowstorms were real fun.

    Cruise Control Cable Questions

    Yes, that's where a cable goes. That little white part can come off (carefully, it's probably very brittle). The rattling you hear is probably the little ball that's swaged on the end of the cable. The ball/cable slides back and forth in there when you use the foot pedal. When I put cruise...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    How about put a pass-through differential on the truck and another drive shaft to the trailer axle!

    92 Factory Stereo Removal

    I think it's too late, but I was able to get mine by letting the glove box down and pulling the little keeper thingy from there. I had the same problem, passenger side wouldn't let go.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    This sounds like me. I have multiples of many tools because I couldn’t find it when I needed it so bought another. Then of course found the original right after I’m done. Case in point, I was at the hardware store with my Dad getting some things for siding the house. I had a framing square on...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I haven't been to Starbucks specifically, but we have a local place that I get coffee from. I'm not a snob by any means, but it is better than the gas station and local. If plain ol' coffee is what you want they're happy to oblige. You just get the cup and you can fill it yourself or they'll...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Danielle, thanks for the pro tip! I had to go that route with the air ride in my old pickup. The service advisor actually suggested I open up a ticket with FCA. He was new at the time and maybe that’s why he suggested it. He didn’t last very long there. He is actually now the service manager and...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yep it sucks but it is what it is. Not our first rodeo though. The previous truck was also a Dodge but had air ride. There were a lot of exchanges with the dealer, and FCA, with that one. It's always a bit depressing when it seems like nobody will stand behind their product. Dealers...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I've had a few Hemis and the last two had issues with the manifold studs. This is more of a rapping sound. It started out only doing it for a few seconds after it had been sitting for a while. But it's been more frequent and random lately, and takes longer to go away. Sometimes I'll go in...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Hauling our newer Dodge in for a knock. It’s been an issue for a while but never seems to do it for them at the dealer. I think it’s a bad lifter. They say it’s normal and won’t damage the engine. In my experience it doesn’t take more than a few seconds to fill up lifters. Last Saturday I...

    Water temp gauge reading

    I'll third the hoses. A month or so ago I was losing large amounts of coolant, it would be sprayed all over the engine compartment. I was convinced my junkyard radiator had sprung a leak so I called them wanting them to honor the warranty. The guy said to check the hoses and I said there...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Cool, I’ve never hunted those. Late season is my favorite time to go. It’s usually not hot so it’s not as taxing on me or the dog, and we usually have the run of the place. It’s fun to try and outsmart the birds. Nothing better than the startled feeling when a big ole rooster explodes through...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    IDIBRONCO, you got it. There is actually plenty to keep one busy around here, even without much for hills. Looks like a good hunt. I spend lots of time in the fall chasing upland birds with my GSP. Are those sharpies on the left? I always thought of sharpies as little flying livers but I make...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    My son graduated today from a Deere service tech program today so we had to move his tools and stuff back home. I pulled a covered trailer with the IDI and it did fine even with the winds. I hit 1100 egt on a couple of the hills* with the headwind. Also filled up for $2.89/gal in Fargo...

    Cleaning out the radiator

    A radiator shop local to me was going to boil mine out at an estimated cost of $60. Mine ended up being full of pinholes so they didn't end up boiling it out, but at that cost I can't justify buying and playing with all the chemicals to clean it. I realize that doesn't do much for the rest of...

    Cruise control install

    That horn pad looks like mine. My wheel has no clockspring, just brushes. Thinking back to when I added cruise to my 94, there was a fuse under the hood that I needed to put in and maybe a relay? Not sure if I had to do anything on the fuse panel in the cab. I ended up buying the brake...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The Cub Scouts were bringing cans to the recycling center yesterday and they ended up with a lot more than they thought they had. I borrowed a skid steer trailer from someone at work and helped them haul the cans. The wind was pretty intense (~30mph + gusts), and on the trip North with the...

    Wood u buy a high mileage turbo 6.9?

    Our Lowe’s is pretty good as far as helpful staff. Also, if you can find a product on their website it will show you what aisle and bay it is in the store of your choosing. Our menards is hopeless if you need help. They usually reply that it’s not in their department and check with someone in a...

    Wood u buy a high mileage turbo 6.9?

    We have to replace a bunch of sheathing due to moisture damage on our house. Two years ago while building my shed it was $12 a sheet. A month ago when I checked it was $35. When I actually bought it last week I paid $42 per sheet. I was considering just tearing down all the tar board on my house...

    Shaking at Idle

    Could be, I was randomly thinking I should put in a fuel pressure gauge today. What a coincidence. It is the stock mechanical pump, I can just check using the Schrader valve correct?

    Glow Plugs Brand Rec

    I think it's re I think it's regional. I have a Napa in the town I work in that's great. The one close to where I live is less great. They smoke in the store, are fairly unhelpful, and generally visibly irritated when they are forced to help me out. Last time I was there I asked for some...

    Shaking at Idle

    Maybe not then, no surging while driving or at idle.
