    valve problems

    My thinking was to replace all valves and springs. Should the rockers really be replaced? Guess I will have them looked at. Thanks for all the input guys. The glowplugs were all intact so I do not know what the exhaust sucked up that caused this to happen or if it just happened from the 200+...

    valve problems

    Well I spent 6 hours on saturday tearing it apart. Did the drivers side first and every thing looks great there. The passenger side is a little different though its no wonder cylinder #5 was not firing. The good news is the pistons all look great no valve impressions or obvious cracks or other...

    valve problems

    1,3,7,2,4,6,8 are all around 400 psi on my compression tester. number 5 will not build compression due to the fact that the exhaust valve is stuck open .... possibly bent, broken or other wise not correct. I will find out more today when I tear it apart

    valve problems

    well I limped the truck 45 miles to my grandmother's house to pull the heads this weekend. I hope it doesn't take to long to get the valve job done. I dont have another truck to use this time while fixing this thing. So no work till truck is back together. Is there anything else I should do...

    valve problems

    Ummm I think I have a problem here. I have exhaust gases coming through the valve spring on the number 5 cylinder. Now that tells me that either the valve spring is broken or the valve is broken. What are the chances it is just a spring? And how do I fix this problem HELP!!!

    SHOCK ABSORBERS

    go with the air bags and new gas charged shocks from rancho. My truck lives a loaded life every day every mile... 9300lbs. before I load any materials on it. Most days it is in the neighborhood of 12000lbs. when fully loaded. gas ranchos made a big improvement, then I found a new set of rear...

    Timing and blue smoke

    rotating it towards the passenger side advances the timing... but to do it right you really need a timing meter. Tell where you live maybe some close to you has a meter and can set the timing for you.

    MT-480 Setup tips

    so does yours have a good luminosity probe because mine tach pick up works but I have no lumi probe.paid 5 dollars at a local auction house for it so I did not mind that it had no probe I figured I could find a good used one or just spend the green on a new one.

    my drivelines & the devil chased me round

    Winter added bed weight

    :rotflmao Calling for 3 - 5 here hmmm maybe I will actually use a shovel instead of the broom this week:thumbsup:

    Glad I got a good deal on the truck, it's killing me in parts!

    my 16 yr old truck has no rust on the cab anywhere. I figure I can put 3000 per year in it for the next 10 years doing what I do for a living and still be far ahead of going out tomorrow and buying a new one that will probably be wore out in less than 5 years.... I don't know but thats just my...

    Kick the tires and light the fires

    ahhh comon Joe its called antifreeze it will keep you from freezing won't it?:rotflmao :rotflmao Seriously though I would say you have a problem with that stat. Mine will warm up to about 190 or so while running 45+mph but below that it stays between 165 - 190 still warm enough to run you out...

    Winter added bed weight

    Just the shear weight of my truck on a daily basis is enough for me.

    New to forum.

    I would have to agree with this statement whole heartedly. I live in central Ohio and have never plugged mine in during the 5 years I have owned it.It has only refused to start once when it was real cold out and that turned out to be a seized advanced auto starter that was only 45 days old. Oh...

    Well she did it to me!

    I dont know about the IDI in a 8n ford but the guy I did some work for last year has an Isuzu diesel and 5 speed bolted to to the tranny in his 50's farmall with a tricycle front end. cookoo cookoo cookoo He claims it will do 60 mph I really dont think I want to be anywhere near it when it does.

    different rear ends

    I don't seem to have any problems getting stuck as long as I keep the front end on solid ground.... that being said I figured out an easy way to change the glow plugs... just drive in the yard till you hit a soft spot and the front end will sink to the cross member.:oops: -cuss Boy you sure can...
