Well driving home from work today with a loaded down truck when I started getting lots of vibration from the drivetrain. Pulled over crawled underneath and shook the drive shaft at the differential and its all kinds of loose. I've replaced all my bearings and joints except for the diff. Im...
So i got a buddy who is looking at this 7.3 non turbo ambulance. Seems clean, 60000 miles the seller has sent lots of videos and pics of the truck and everything looks pretty good. The guy says the alternator needs replaced, never done work on a idi van before. Lots of wrenching on my truck over...
So I'm changing oil today and checking all my fluids and greasing stuff up after a long winter. I wire brushed off all the gunk from my Dana 50 plug checked the fluid, cleaned the threads and put it back in and noticed it doesn't screw in all the way. I'm pretty sure this is just as far as it...
So I found the noise.
The rear drums definitely need replaced, so I rebuilt them completely.
But when I was under the truck I saw my carrier bearing was leaking grease and found it to be the culprit.
Now check out this mess I found on my drive shaft. Sloppy work.
I had no problem cutting...
I have a smf LUK.
Only couple years old.
Like I said hard to exactly hear where the noise is. But I just took a drive and now my suspicious is pointing towards the rear wheel maybe. Tomorrow I'm gana lay on my flat bed and have a buddy drive around slow so I can listen lol.
I'll update what I...
So I posted a previous thread thinking my fan clutch was going out on me, started hearing a bad metallic vibrating noise. I swapped out clutches and the noise still persists which was a disappointment. It's so hard to hear where exactly it's coming from but I have a fear it's from the...
Well here she is.
Almost all done, got the steel perimeter and stake pockets for the flat bed to fabricate but the major body work is done.
I'm officially rust free in PA lol.
Ya I like the factory wheels and the gray also.
My original hub caps don't fit these rims, but I kinda like them with out.
I want some black lug nut covers tho searching for some.
So just some finishing touches to go.
Visor.
Headache rack.
And some touch up.
I used raptor coat bed liner and I got to say it's pretty sweet looking.
My truck is all about durabily and function.
Will post pics of her all back together.
I have a old fan clutch on a parts motor I'm gana put on and verify that it's definitely the fan clutch making the noise. If so I'll be looking for a new one, I saw the conversion didn't include a fan clutch just a new kinda fan so that's not really what I'm after.
No the noise isn't there at start up.
Everything feels tight there's no wiggle.
I thought it was my transmission also but upon having someone else listen it was definitely coming from up front from the fan.
What's a good quality fan clutch out there?
I think the one I bought has a lifetime...
