    Dash electrical refresh questions

    I guess that's where my lack of ever drinking a single beer excludes me from knowing the "taxed" feeling haha Just thinking from my angle where space is a premium and relays/wiring may be more of a hurt than a help. But then again I do have so many accessories going on it's hard to remember...

    Dash electrical refresh questions

    I would close that account on the spot and find a new location at minimum for sure. I honestly believe it's all about the team at that particular store. I have no complaints about my oreilys. My crazy requests stump them every time initially, but they work hard to understand how to get the part...

    Dash electrical refresh questions

    On LEDs, the amp draw of a good set of bulbs should be less than a single halogen bulb(about 5 amps total). I wouldn't bother with a relay, it's way overkill, and would not actually make them brighter. LEDs run off a driver chip that controls current usage to some extent, so they really are...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Load distribution I would certainly agree with, but nose high to me seems to point more to rear spring issues than front. In fact I would suppose worn front springs would reduce positive castor distortion because they should somewhat try to retain to their sagged upward arch (thereby fighting...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Sorry,nope. In fact to my knowledge not a single part is interchangeable between a super duty Dana 60 and an old body style Dana 60.

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Been quite a while, but that's how long it took me to find it. Sorry the viewpoint is not better, only one where the trailer outriggers are still up

    Suspension Gurus, please step in here!!!

    See out of balance tires cause the wobble on a daily basis. Working on lifted Jeep's all day you get to learn where to look haha, they leave the factory with it. As all others have said though, even if the tires are the "cause", they may not be the total solution. You gotta make sure the...

    Need clarification on leaf spring shackle bushings

    The whole set of energy suspension new bushings is less than $40 if I remember correctly. The new bushings you already have are actually the factory style on some trucks. There were options. To get them in though, most always you need a 20 ton shop press and a strong right hand to hold the leaf...

    93.5 7.3 Turbo defueling after getting to temperature

    Either of the two big names in quality pump rebuilding right now are actually very competitive in price on their stock rebuild levels to a junky parts house reman unit. If you don't go used but known good, it doesn't make any sense not to buy from one of those two really. Sent from my Moto Z...

    Water crossings-How deep is too deep ?

    Aaaaa oh that makes a little more sense. I guess your only about 10ish pounds lighter than me. Does it actually feel like "suspension"?

    Water crossings-How deep is too deep ?

    You must not have seen much newer than 99'. (Not that this is a really bad thing) I would be willing to wager than you could not buy a vehicle new today that still has this configuration. Para cord you say? Does the foam not collapse and push it around? I guess I forget not everyone is as...

    Water crossings-How deep is too deep ?

    Probably won't ever kill that one.(ignition that is) I'm not sure if your familiar, but the ignition switch on bull nose trucks is just a rod that runs through the column to a pack of thick awg wires at the base acting like a mechanical contactor. Hard to go wrong with that haha. I suppose it...

    Water crossings-How deep is too deep ?

    In the 2010 Nashville flood I repeatedly went through water deep enough to wash my windshield. No ill effects. I was going fast enough to keep it out if the cab too so that was a big bonus. On my dually now with all my bellows breathers and well sealed snorkel, I'd be willing to go as deep as...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    No worries from me, I chased the rabbit with you haha. And on that note, very possible. It takes every bit of 4 hours to do it right, so most shops like to avoid doing it right..... Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    2 Month Routine Squeak

    TWP-did you try the water trick? Mike- did you check to see if the belt is moving funny or riding funny on any of the pulleys? A optically minor shift sideways could cause a squeak as well. If your sure the problem is that the belt is stretching in and then becoming loose the only real...

    2 Month Routine Squeak

    I'm somewhat curious if you guys are getting the right belts. There are different lengths and the parts counter guys aren't the Best with our engines. I also wonder what brand your tensioners are

    2 Month Routine Squeak

    I would try a gates or ford belt. Some have said the gates didnt work for them, but every time I've had a belt issue like that a swap to gates fixed it for me

    2 Month Routine Squeak

    Take a squirt bottle of water with the engine running and spray only the ribs of the actual belt. If the squeak goes away it's either the belt itself or an idler tension issue. If the squeak still there it's probably a pulley bearing or pulley misalignment. Hopefully that will get you going...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Rhk, did you have it truly aligned (not just toe adjustment)? And how is the toe?either of those things can cause tire wear and are no-fault specifically of a ttb. I know we've gone pretty far off topic from the original posters intent I just didn't want him to get a bad impression that the ttb...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    No Riotwarrior you are completely correct I misspoke and meant to say gcw. It was a fully loaded log hauling crane trailer. Extremely well-balanced, but even at 10% tongue weight, that's near capacity of most bumper pull hitches. I'll have to see if I can find the picture and post it up

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    If two guys hunting gear and a small trailer noses the truck high and wears your tires, I would check to see if something else is wrong. The specs (0.4ish if I recall to 1.1 ish) allow for full safe suspension travel and while maintaining proper tire wear. I again speak from experience that...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Yup. A little more than I usually pay, but not too bad. There is a lot more involved, but usually price including all brackets and such are not far off just a d60 from an obs, or a truck with one. I am looking into good wheel adapters to eliminate the need for a rear swap myself mostly for the...

    Axles and 4x4 Questions

    Let me correct myself "By 92 all ttb's (f250 trucks) were Dana 50"
