Truck is going into shop for some work. Did some wheeling and dealing with David and Johnathon at Swamps for some mechanic work and parts. I've been running without gauges of any kind, just running by the seat of my pants, so, exhaust temp, tranny temp, and boost gauges going in. I have...- wanderer

Injector O-rings
Thought I would post on this board about my injector problem this week. The o-rings on my baby swamps gave out, and they were replaced by swamps diesel tuesday evening. Apparently the o-rings that have been used are of an inferior quality, by Bean, and Swamps. They both have changed...- wanderer

Fuel leak
It looks like I have a fuel leak under the truck. Not sure if it is the pump, a hose, or an o-ring somewhere. I sprayed the engine off tonight, and will try to trace it in the morning.- wanderer

E40D problems
Looks like I am going to need to change my transmission pretty soon. 1st gear is not liking the start-off thing, must have something to do with my right foot and the black soot going out the tailpipe. :angel: I've got a guy who can rebuild for me, but I don't know what parts to order right...- wanderer

Proposed alternative fuel tax
I've been reading about Oregon's alternative to taxes at the pump. Interesting technology that will make homebrewing more costly. :puke: Here is a page with a few articles about it...- wanderer

Front rotors on '96 F-250 4WD
I'm getting ready to change the rotors out on my truck this morning. I've done this before, and I pulled the hub and rotor off together last time. The guy at NAPA told me that I didn't have to do that, just pull the rotor. I can't remember now how it is put together, so I am skeptical.- wanderer

New radiator
I had to buy a new radiator today, 433.00 at the dealership. The cooler that is bolted in front of the radiator broke loose and rubbed a hole in two of the fins of the radiator. Easy replacement, but I hated the price.- wanderer

Brake problems
Getting off of the interstate ramp this afternoon, my butt puckered up, as the brakes didn't work properly. Hard pedal, and it would stop, but the pedal slowly would go down. Got it parked at my house, and popped the hood. Brake fluid reservoir is ok, and hardly any residue on the...- wanderer

Cat 3316
I've got a friend who is looking for a Cat 3316, 9Gk, engine for his truck. We tease him about the mosquitoe fogging ability that he has now. I think he said it would be around 8,000.00 to rebuild the current engine in his truck, but I suspect there is someone here who has a cheaper alternative.- wanderer
