    New To WMO. Many questions. Any thoughts?

    Filtering & heat!!! Warming it up helps as much as anything! I try to settle my WMO, then sometimes hang up some “fat boy” jeans, tie the legs, let it strain thru, then settle some more. I used to run very rich, specially in summer, but not bout 30% in summer, less winter. Also have heat plate...

    That #$%^ serpentine belt chirp again!

    Few months ago mine was chirping/squealing off & on & I was using the bar soap trick. Turned out I had a bad IDLER PULLY. When I down shifted things let go. Threw the fan belt, spun my fan clutch off (cause I'd stupidly used anti-seize) and fan got into the radiator. Had to pull radiator &...

    That #$%^ serpentine belt chirp again!

    I have used a bar of soap on the belt while running and quietens down. Old mechanic showed me that trick.

    another ZF5 roll over thread.... with excessive roll over noise.

    Well I remember from my semi trucking days the alignment shop would "wedge" the steer axle to give it few * of positive caster, if level or neg then it wouldn't hold the road as well. (Visualize leaning forward over the steering wheel driving, or walking all leaned forward trying to walk...
