    LOTS of oil puddled in valley cover; Turbo oil drain?

    All of the sudden, my truck is leaking a lot of oil on top of the engine. as near as I can track it, its coming from the turbo oil drain, leaking upwards of a quart every 100 miles. The only thing I can think of is the sudden cold snap has screwed up the turbo oil drain somehow. That's about the...

    Large oil leak... From dipstick tube?!?!?

    I recently got tired of all the oil that was getting into my turbo inlet, an installed a RDT, (got tired of that even quicker and put it back to the intake), but I used too small of a tube and developed a big oil leak. I figured it was my rear main from the way the oil pan was decently clean and...

    IDI didn't start this morning. Time for Group 31 batteries. Where do I buy them?

    My truck has always cranked over a little slow (not too bad tho) but today at 9 degrees, she wouldn't start. I'll be replacing batteries and cables, and want to go with "group 31" batteries, but I'm not really sure what to look for. searching for SLA or group 31 batteries brings up a bunch of...

    I kick my clutch pedal, and it kicks back.

    The return spring on my clutch pedal is mounted so that when I push the clutch to the floor, the spring "cams over" sorta like a compound bow at full draw, then when I try to let off, the spring is pushing back with full pressure right at the engagement point, like trying to let off the bow and...

    *URGENT* Clutch Slave bore size?

    The parts monkey says I have two choices for clutch slave bore size. 1.125 and 1.032. What's the difference? Are the two parts interchangeable? This is my DD, and I'd like to be able to drive it to work again tomorrow. I won't get a chance to pull the slave until tomorrow am and hopefully get it...

    Any OBS trucks with the headlight relay mod?

    I have purchased relays for the headlights and running lights, but the headlight wiring doesn't seem as small as on my '82. Do OBS trucks benefit from running heavier wire all the way to the bulb connectors? I will still put in the relays to take the load off the switch, but I'm not sure I need...

    Pinion Play...

    I got home at 5:30 this morning from a 920 mile trip with a 4 horse trailer attached and this afternoon I was poking around making sure the truck was still in one piece and I noticed the pinion seal/plastic guard thing didn't quite look centered. Sure enough, the pinion had some play in it...

    Guess how much this hitch can handle

    I called up the bed manufacturer and asked how much their hitches are rated for. The answer I got was. "Whatever the ball can handle, like 5000lbs I think." ??? The drop, as well as the bed frame rail are 4x1.5" channel. The plate is 3/8". The plate is bent because the ball...

    US gear overdrive?

    Can anyone identify this unit? Isn't the US gear overdrive supposed to bolt between the Tranny and T-case? If so, wouldn't the input and output sides have the same flange/bolt pattern? http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/pts/2979729968.html
