    What is this vertical bar tow hitch?

    I used to have one of those....... It's an ATV 3-in-1 hitch, Ball, strap bar, and a hole for a garden cart type thing, they're only rated for 1500lbs or so for the ball, 500 on the pin hole IIRC.

    2026 Best Oil Filter for the 7.3 IDI?

    I'll stick with the FL1995, but that's because I have a case of 12 in the garage.... 80% efficiency at 20 micron BTW..... Pretty sure from looking at my oil after 100 miles a piece of window screen is good enough on an IDI.....

    Tap size + cleaning threads + steering zerk

    1/4-28 thread (generic US grease zerk), tapered on the zerk so it seals tight rather than bottoming out They're probably metric zerks, I have bulk packs I carry in my service truck for both standard and metric in different sizes from 6mm-10mm and 3/16"-1/8NPT I'd clean it really good and use...

    DD214 is a good idea! I will never claim to have been anything other than an office worker when I was in. 1N job code.

    Lip of sleeve at bottom of cylinder

    Learn something new every day. Everything I've ever dealt with was primarily a drop in with a counterbore or line welded/line bored (those were decidedly non-standard as they were steel blocks, but so were the applications), have also dealt with a handful of straight sleeves that were...

    Lip of sleeve at bottom of cylinder

    From my experience, that ain't right..... A sleeve should completely fill the bore, I've never seen anyone do anything like that. That alone is enough information that IMO he should be redoing it, show him that the piston skirt extends below the cylinder.

    Starting and Trans issues after removing ambulance box

    1) They'd be replacing any harnessing they touched with NEW on their dime as soon as they decided to cut any wires, I've done that job with someone on a '91, there was no reason to cut anything. 2) The liability is 100% theirs and the blame lies solely on their shoulders. 3) They sure wouldn't...

    Samco Sport Silicone Radiator Hose Reviews

    In my experience, on equipment the silicone hoses don't last as long as the regular reinforced rubber hoses.... I'd just sleeve regular hoses for the look if you want to do that.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Home sick, so I fired up the old girl for the first time in 8 months (didn't get any big snows over the cold months, she's just sat all winter) Gave her some "fooked" batteries from work (the kids don't understand that checking water levels in the batteries can save a customer hundreds of...

    Block heater installation - block heater won’t seat

    Somewhere in my toolbox I have a piece of rebar welded between 2 sockets I made up just for that bolt......... IIRC it took some unholy conglomeration of specific extensions that were 3+3+1+1 length, but it had to be 3" because a6" was actually too long..... That was my '83 extended cab that...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drove the truck in to the work shop, lotsa mangled 1/4" plate, a bent piece of 1/2" plate, 3 sheared 3/4" bolts, and a 3/8" thick bracket with a broken weld, didn't think I clipped the tree that hard, shows what 5' of leverage with a cclb 4x4 behind it at 5mph will do.... Picture of the 1/4"...
