    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Well I got my new steering box in, I think I am one rag joint away from Javi mg the tightest steering brick nose in existence. The box was about $300 I think. One of my tires got impelled and my ignition switch is still having issues so I can’t drive it much yet, so far I’ve put 1500 miles on it...

    I would take it to a weld shop it wouldn’t take very long to fix that.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I bought this cheap air horn on Amazon so I will let you know how it sounds, priority is below the steering box but I can’t hear the factory horn over the diesel rattle so I wanted an upgrade.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Looks like they retail around $300 mines ordered and should come in this week the main advantage to redhead is it’s a true rebuild not a parts store pressure wash and resale.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    The pain funnel continues, power steering seal blew out of the bottom of the steering box throwing all the PS fluid out at once. Order for a new redhead box submitted and will be placed on Monday. I had to take the belt of the PS pump and “Armstrong steer” home. That IDI makes for an unpleasant...

    B pedal slowly going to floor w/eng running

    The pain funnel occurs with anything over 10 years old, at this point I plan on it.

    Thumbs up for 7lb radiator cap!

    I have a #13 cap and it seems to be handling 100 degree weather just fine I will likely stay with that.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I went to check the gear oil level in my transmission yesterday night (it leaks) and all the bolts holding the transfer case in were falling out and only finger tight so I had to fix that before driving home from where I was.

    what goes into pulling an idi?

    Just support it with a jack and leave it there.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I got the rear axle seal replaced and the filter head and coolant filter for my coolant filtration system are in. Oddly the Napa part was wrapped in news paper.

    Alternator brand options.

    I have the best rebuilder in town, we are on a first name basis he has done so much work for me.

    Sad day and clutch (I thought...)

    Plus one on the plywood it’s the only way to go, and when working in gravel if not using a jack put down a harbor freight tarp in case you drop a bolt or fastener

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Does anyone have a replacement cargo light they have had good experience with?
  18. captain720

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Does anyone know if the thing above the back window is a third break light or a cargo light? Mine is broken and just wires sticking out if the cab. I got my coolant overflow working and I can start from inside the cab, I am currently getting 16.6MPGs and I lost a rear axle seal the other day.

    pdp filter head

    It would cost me a few hundred dollars in labor to make one of those at the fabrication and machine shop I work at, plus have you seen aluminum prices these days? It’s almost at cost for aluminum! I’d say it’s a great price from my perspective of making things everyday.

    what goes into pulling an idi?

    Plus most of the tractors I’ve worked with have an “auto lowering feature” (leaky hydraulics)

    Running new motor oil vs waste motor oil?

    I add a little new oil to every tank and it works great

    Running new motor oil vs waste motor oil?

    This thread inspired me to throw half a quart of new motor oil in my fuel tank as additive cause I wasn’t going to use that oil anymore (sold the rig I used that oil in) and my 6.9 runs much much better now! The change was unbelievable

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Based on the recent thread on burning NEW motor oil as fuel I was inspired to throw half a quart of new 10-30 synthetic Mobil 1 in my tank cause I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything and it’s free fuel. The difference it made was unbelievable! When I first pulled my truck out of the mud it had 10+...

    Running new motor oil vs waste motor oil?

    2500 lbs won’t even squish your springs down that’s nothing. Handles like empty and has lots of power.
