    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Injector nozzle diameter

    In a effort to get a diagnosis of my stuck rings or glazed cylinders, need to know the diameter of injector nozzles. Or the size of the hole in the head. Because I've found decent prices on bore scopes online. But there are a wide range of sizes, 8mm, 7mm, 5.5mm. Thanks

    I've done a lot of searching/reading on front leaf springs and how to raise front of our pickups.

    First I should give a little background info on this problem. This door had/has a problem with the latch inside the door, it would not stay closed. Moving the latch "jaws" did not seem to help, the closing problem, and of course I slammed the door too hard once, then it stayed shut. The window...

    Wondering if spraying the knuckles & joints/crosses with undercoating would help or hurt???:dunno Since I've got the front shafts out and the joints are ok, thought this might protect them.... I suppose a person could ask this about any of the driveline joints???

    Questions & Help needed on front diff/carrier removal

    Need to pull my front carrier, again, to fix a oil leak. Few years ago I tried fixing this leak but messed up the RTV putting it back in. (Before the OB) Did some reading, seems like letting the drivers side droop might work. Have a Dana 50 and the problem is the passenger side axle housing...

    Questions on pipe sizes when I rebuild wmo system.

    Seems like everyone kinda goes through this, I'll be reconfiguring my wmo system at some point in time. What does everyone think about this... The line coming from my PS pump which pushes my wmo is a 3/8 brake line. Does it make a difference if my filter head lines/pipes would be 1 1/4"-1...

    The rod bushings are in, but still have questions???

    Got the new rod bushings installed and they are a bit to "small" for the piston pins. Is this normal with new bushings??? Or do the IDI piston pin/rod bushings pressed in???(didn't think so because of the lock rings in the pistons.) Or do they need to be honed to fit??? When I ordered these...
