    Time to replace the clutch

    Well, I had planned on this next year but I loaned the truck in my signature to a very trusted friend to tow a car 400 miles from LA area to Modesto. He reported smelling clutch going up Cajon Pass, but no discernible slippage until he got to Modesto. He let out the clutch and the truck...

    HPR (high performance renewable) Fuel

    I was talking to a couple that I met in a parking lot (seems the IDI either gets you in trouble or gets you talking to new people :D). They mentioned a new fuel available in Northern CA. HPR, high performance renewable. I googled it and it looks like they process tallow, etc to get fuel. It...

    Power Steering Pump?

    I will keep this as short as possible. The truck is turning to the left ok, unless fully stopped, then the pump stops turning and the belt squeals. If I turn it to the right, it feels like the engine is off and you are trying to turn the wheel (stopped or rolling, it turns very little and...

    Oil Sample

    Well, I got some not so good news today. I sent an oil sample to Blackstone and the lead went up (bearings?). When I did the last test I had added Lucas to the oil and the lead had dropped by almost 1/3 (28 to 11). I left it out on this oil change and the lead went up X3 (11 to 33). I...

    Drive shaft center support bearing

    My rear u-joint is bad on the rear driveshaft. I am going to replace all three and was planing on replacing the center support bearing (supercab 4x4) while it is apart as it has a little play in it. I was just wondering if there are any tricks to getting it off and then back on or do I need to...

    DMF springs

    Well, I think the DMF is finally going out. I pulled the inspection cover and the 2 springs I could get to were loose. Not flopping around, just loose enough to wiggle and spin in place. I have had a weird clatter noise under acceleration ever since I did the IP, and injectors. I could have been...

    Oil drain plug size

    Very weird. I had to replace the engine oil drain plug awhile back. Clerk at O'Reilly's said it was a 14-1.25 and gave me a new one (only one listed). Went home and it didn't fit. Went back, found one that was 1/2-20 and it worked perfect. Thought, "oh well, just another miss size in the...

    Pump timing in Modesto, CA

    Well, I finally got a ferret adapter and a good timing light. Confirmed that my pump is definately going bad as the timing was at 3 btdc (didn't know it would run that far off). Reset it to 8 btdc (as far as I could get it as the pump is wore out). Runs much better, but a pump and injectors are...

    Probably IP, just wanted feedback

    Well, here's the story: Normal operating temp is 190. If I stop and it drops to 175 or higher, or under about 130 it will start no prob. If it is between 140-150 it usually starts, between 150-175, it wont start w/o either or letting it cool more about 50% of the time. Just put a new...

    Drive shaft center support bearing

    I have had a clunking sound for awhile. Finally got under the truck and found the center drive shaft support/carrier bearing assembly worn out. I found them, but I need to know which drive shaft it has: Spicer 1310/1330 Series (1.378 Inch/35mm Inside Diameter, Slip Yoke Style) or Spicer 1410...

    Need some ideas

    This could be a little long, but I want opinions on what is going on. I have had the truck 3 years now and have used several fuel additives (Lucas, Diesel clean, ATF, etc.) off and on. Never really paid attention before, but I hadn’t used one in about 5 tanks and the truck seemed to be...

    Alternative to locking fuel caps

    I have had problems with locking fuel caps as they are generally non-venting (Ca EPA? :dunno) and I get a vacuum lock situation with them on and the system pulls no fuel). I have been looking into other options with fuel worth so much and I found one that worked. I thought that I would let you...

    SMF stressing the trans?

    I am looking at going to an SMF in the future. I was at the local dealer for other things and asked about parts for the switch. The parts guy said it is a bad idea, and when asked why he said one of the mechanics was against it. I did not talk directly to the mechanic, but the parts guy...

    Fuel tank switch bypass

    Well, I finally did it and it works great! A little history. A few months back I posted to get ideas. My tank switch went bad (pulled off of the front tank, returned to the rear tank) (?). I thought about replacing the factory switch, to much money for something prone to failure. Thought about...

    Fuel tank selector valve is bad

    Well, the fun continues. The valve went bad and I am looking at options. 1) Manual valves. 2 valves (supply and return). Not sure where to get them but I don't want to do the electric thing again. 2) Gravity feed transfer line between the tanks (just like the semi's). This is what I am...

    Rookie 4wd Questions

    I have done quite a bit of off roading with 2wd vehicles over the years. I finally got this truck and I am loving the IDI and the possibilities with the 4wd. I just had a few questions: 1: With the hubs locked, can you switch back and forth from 2wd to 4wd high on the fly or do you need to...

    Good mechanic

    First I would like to thank all for all the great info. I haven't worked on diesels for 30 years and this forum (well recommended ;Sweet) has helped me start to get back up to speed. This truck is stock (so far :sly) and is in great shape, but I like to plan ahead. Does anyone know of a good...
