    Draining your oil...any opinions?

    Never used one, but magnets and cardboard and newspaper and all kinds of contraptions to keep the wind at Bay definitely done those.

    Oil leak above the oil filter, rear oil cooler head? what do I need to know before I start taking it apart?

    I remember it being pretty simple but very very messy. I bought a drip pan that goes underneath washing machines or water heaters to help catch all the drips and runs.

    Oil leak above the oil filter, rear oil cooler head? what do I need to know before I start taking it apart?

    Be real gentle with a ratchet strap putting the cooler together. The O-rings can get damaged. Consider re-using the old oil for the leak test. I poured mine thru clean tee shirt material. (Oil is expensive, you can always change it again)

    Where is the "low point dimple" on a wheel?

    Try breaking down the tire and mounting it 180 degrees off from where it is now. Usually helps with hard to balance wheel tire combos.

    LC is Lake City they make military ammo in 5.556 and 7.62x51. Winchester and others sell it. If you look close (and or clean it up) the LC brass probably has the NATO cross also

    Diagnosing OD Flashing when shifting to 3rd. Brake light circuit?

    So I'm not super familiar with the system is there a speed sensor of sorts on the rear end? And would get confused by the gear swap? I know there's a sensor back there but I thought that was just for the anti-lock brake stuff. I don't know. Does the cruise control still work before and after...

    Fummins I love my IDIs, but if you want to trade money for performance it's repower time.

    Diagnosing OD Flashing when shifting to 3rd. Brake light circuit?

    The engine rpm (tach) sensor is also a common failure point. The sensor usually keeps working but misses so the trans gets an incorrect RPM signal. They're cheap to replace. Something to consider.

    Need a new motor

    It blew a head gasket, took it apart, almost every cylinder in both heads it cracked up, between the valves, into the valve seat. and two scratches, maybe cracks in the cylinder walls. Put it all together just so I can drive it to our next place when I move and tear it down and change motors...

    Need a new motor

    So where should I go to get a new 6.5? Or are these motors just crap? Am I wasting my time with it, is there any other motor that will swap in pretty easy. I have the 4le8 auto and a stand alone controller is not a big deal.
