    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Is that because an engine crane won't lift high enough?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mmmmm yummythat dear friends cam from my radiator. I am pulling the engine now tis a 7.3 idit with zf5. Question, what have you guys found most efficient to remove to yank motor out? I'm hoping I can leave tranny attached and remove the hood and yank it without messing with the core support...

    Repeatedly bad u joint

    No I don't clutch dump, as stated driveline are expensive lol. I'm really leaning towards some angle or other being off. It's mostly academic at this point I've got another truck to get on the road and the wife is quite strenuous in her objections over continuing to dump money into it. With...

    Repeatedly bad u joint

    U bolts were tight but not torqued, can't really calculate angles cuz we couldn't find the back half of driveshaft afterwards. Based on what all has been said my suspicion is on the axle yoke and or wondering about a damaged differential, like if it's dragging, if that makes sense. A few miles...

    Repeatedly bad u joint

    Stock suspension on 33s yes on drive shaft carrier bearing, brand new when I had the driveshaft rebuilt. U joint was new and lubed up but not over lubed, tranny mount is square, truck travels straight down the road. Leaf spring are newly replaced . To the best I and several mechanically...

    Repeatedly bad u joint

    So I just blew the u joint that connects the axle to the driveshaft for the third time in probably 1500 or less miles, this last time I had the driveshaft rebuilt and balanced, that was certainly less than 500 miles ago. I replaced leaf springs and mounts several years ago after a tbone wreck...

    Stub shaft wear

    Excellent, thank you for the suggestions

    Stub shaft wear

    Hard to see but the poly coating on these splines is flaking in sections. Drive shaft shop says it won't balance because it's flaking but no one supposedly makes the proper stub end anymore. What do y'all think? My thoughts are take all the poly coating off with a new carrier bearing and...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally fitted new style rad into my bullnose, cutting and welding later she lives! First time moving it under it's own power reminds me how much I love driving this thing. Next problem. With about three start ups and one short move. I was showing my buddies and we noticed the fan had...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well the reason it's getting one instead of another idi is cause I've got one. Swap will be cheaper than rebuild the 7.3. that only leaves me with 3 idi trucks lol

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well a buddy of mine came over to shoe a horse and his wife volunteered him to help me install a mechanical fuel pump on my crew beast. Don't mind his wave, he's a misguided dodge guy. Didn't want photo evidence he'd driven a real truck lol. We hauled up the canyon twice and blew a head...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    We've been approaching the 80s up here which is miserable enough but then I ran a load to Vegas last week. 112 degrees never got to shut the truck off at night cuz it never got below 85

    Short and fat to tall and skinny

    O man that's not what I wanted to hear! I've got a buddy that is headed to a scrap yard for some stuff for his truck. He thinks he saw an ad for a 6.9 in there so I might have one this evening. If not I might just fab a core support up to fit the taller rad
