    To swap or not to swap?

    I have written a few things on those units here and instead of re-writing it all over again...if you want more info on them then just type in E4OD in your search box and put my handle in the other box and check out my opinion on 'em. I believe that there are equally valid opinions from other...

    To swap or not to swap?

    I second getting the codes first before anything else... If anything else...it will help with that head hurt problem when it is either fixed or you at least know what the problem is...yes, it could be simple... Once you are there...then you can take a long walk, drive, have a cream soda, or a...

    Aggressive unidentifiable shake.

    That end of the driveshaft looks pretty beat up to me...as if that end vibrated out and lost a u-joint at some time...or...someone had a hard time installing the u-joint... On the rear gears...(I am no expert, here...) but the numbers look normal for a 4.10 gearset...E5TW DA is part of the...

    Aggressive unidentifiable shake.

    That was my question...can you take a couple of pics of the rear driveshaft assy. and post it up...? Those puppies need to be aligned a certain way... On the diff gears...lets see what numbers you are talking about and how much backlash you have...do you measure it with a mic or just take a...

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    Hmm... you know...one of the tell-tale signs of an acetfolic is you start hiding your bottles everywhere around the house.... ...ask me how I know...wait...please don't ask... But...unless it starts interfering with your home and social life...it is probably not worthy of an intervention...

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    True...it seems that the man struck a chord with us and got a bit of feedback that he did not plan on... Remember...we here are Americans...and We are accustomed to speaking our minds...there is probably some disconnect with Our Ways and the culture that is prevalent 'across the pond'.... I...

    Fueling issue with only the rear tank

    It was a guy working for General Motors that said..."Parts left out cost less and cause less service problems..." It might have been Ed Cole...but it also could have been some other exec or engineer... Either way, that is what happened to transmission pan drain plugs, too... Ever had to drop...

    First Start Issue

    Which post on the battery are you using for this test...? I think that you should try checking if you have 12vdc to the fuel shut off solenoid when the key is in the 'run' position... If you do not, and.... if it were me...and I just wanted it to start and wait to check the key-to-solenoid...

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    "I don't have time to fool with that ****..." I am sorry about cutting loose like that but I was just remembering the last couple of times I had to top up my Darling Baby-Doll...(skid steer)... Other than that...things are going fairly well....I feel very fortunate, lately. Again...I did not...

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    Using that with one gallon is tolerable...but try to put fuel into a skid steer out of a five gallon can with one of those miserable things is....miserable... especially if you are standing on a ladder and balancing the jug and trying to hold the trigger and not fall off the ladder all at...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The snapping may come from some form of internal frustration...maybe a form of CRS... Well...I think that I can speak for the rest of us...'we' will be unlikely to ever snap at you...you are too good of a guy... Have you tried drawing him a big picture...complete with captions...giving him a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I tried that method a couple of times last winter...thanks to your suggestion...and it worked pretty good....I used mixed gas that was getting a little age-ed...it was not going to work very well in the chainsaw or weed-eater anyway... Thank you for that little tidbit...I added it to my mental...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I was thinking about using a bale spear but I remembered that I have an almost permanent dent in my shin from just a simple hitch ball mount... It always makes me wonder why some people think that getting cozy with your back end is somehow going to endear themselves to the world.... ???

    Whats this leaking now?

    Another idea for hole-making is empty brass cases... .22 and .223=5mm .243=6mm and 1/4" .280=7mm .308 and .303=5/16" .323=8mm .44=7/16 Ma Deuce=1/2" just in case you have some of that laying around and need to make a few gasket holes... Just my .22...uh...I mean .02...

    Dorman Diff cover for 10.25" rear. O-Ring or Gasket?

    My guess is that the groove is for the RTV sealer to make its own o-ring. I saw that method a lot from working on k****a equipment. I was not impressed...mainly for the reason that I had to seal something up and then wait a day to put oil in it...'they' made me use the 'factory-approved...

    Chronic repeated mouse/rat problem

    Would that be a 'stairway to rodent heaven'...? and then they get dumped to rodent hell.... that was the conclusion I got from a chinese laundry operating out of an old 7-11 store back in the 80's... I think I am supposed to be sorry for the rodents...or something... But I just can't help...

    Chronic repeated mouse/rat problem

    So...The Girl and I are temporarily living in a cottage until we finish the house...small, with a walk-out basement... She has a wooden workbench in the basement and one day I am getting some laundry and I smell some nasty-reeking stuff...and I look...and see a..what looks to be some black...

    Hello Sieg from Finland, This is 'X' from Virginia... It is morning here (Virginia) and I must get to work but I will address the one thing that stands out for me that could help you until I have time to read your post thoroughly... It sounds like the transmission is not getting the correct...

    So I loaned the truck. .. .

    It was a datsun or some other japan car that I brought into the shop where I was working in the 80's...got out and shut the door with the window down and the glass shattered inside the door...surprised the heck outta me... Went and told the manager and he worked it out with the car...
