    Got me some tire chains

    I wanted a third set of chains to repair two sets. As we were going up Donner we got to the unchain area. I pulled over to unlock my hubs and right next to the truck were two chains. In now have three sets and can make two sets out of them.

    Brake issue

    I purchased a pressure blender. No air around the threads and no sopping to refill the master cylinder.

    Got me some tire chains

    My brother and I had to modify/rebuild chains for out dad when we were kids, like 8-13 years old. We have experience. When my daughter was going to school in Boston, she never chained up her truck. She would just lay them down to get over the slick spot and then put them back on the bed of her...

    Should I be able to move my plunger and the actual wastegate by hand? Mine may be frozen.

    Got me some tire chains

    We traveled from eastern Colorado to Sacramento over the past two days. I wanted to get some chains and remembered always seeing tire chains on the side where semis remove them. Went over Donner summit and stopped at the main unchain area. Took a little walk forward and vac and picked up 2 sets...

    Timing advance solenoid

    I think that is what it is called. I don’t know if it is working. Here is a video of both of the solenoids clocking. Tell me what you think. If it is bad where do I buy one? ok, how do I attach a video? The fuel shut off clicks, but not loud. The timing advance just barely clicks.

    Power steering gearbox

    Cracked #1 injector today and didn’t really get much out. My wife said it sounded like it was trying to start so I retightened it and it started. Took it for a ride and it did great. I’ll post another question on a new post. Thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it.

    Power steering gearbox

    I changed mine out yesterday. Not so bad. Now the truck won’t start. Cranks fine and I have fuel coming out the Schrader valve.

    Power steering gearbox

    Cubey that is the puller I have. I will also heat it up with a MAP torch. I also bought my replacement autozone. It is really tight. I can’t rotate the input shaft by hand. Can I expect to lose a lot of oil when I disconnect the lines?

    Power steering gearbox

    Oof. My wife has good muscles. I used a strap to lift a starter in my Cummins N14. Commercial truck. I have trouble lifting now due to a multiple myeloma lesion that made my left clavicle powder. Nothing to screw a plate too. Lots of pain when I use my left arm but I deal with it. I have...

    Power steering gearbox

    One has excessive play. I can turn the wheel 1/4 turn without changing direction of the wheels. I have attempted to tighten up the gear box but it doesn’t last. The sweat spot also tends to change as you are driving. We just took a 1500 mile trip and the closer we got to home the worse it got.

    One rear brake locks up

    I remember reading a long time ago that you could boil contaminated shoes or pads in a lye solution to bet the oil out of them.

    I decided I will remove the nut on the output shaft tomorrow and count the splines. Then I can order the correct box.

    Power steering gearbox

    i Am ready to order a power steering gearbox. Please don’t tell me to get the red top or whatever. I can’t afford it. There are 2 listed on O’Reilly. The difference in impute size is .010 and the output spline count is 32 vs 29. I don’t want to remove the nut from the output shaft until I have a...

    Cruise control surging

    Kenidi is awesome. I disconnected my abs module and the surging stopped and the Speedo no longer jumps intermittently at 80. It is all fixed. Thanks
