    Manual glow plug rules

    Well I'll admit I just did the driver side bank to hurry up and get me back to work. Been meaning to do the pass side but I only had four spare gp's sitting around and we all know the driver's side is the easiest to work on. (something about a big snail-shaped thing on the other side haha)...

    Manual glow plug rules

    Yea they are 60G's. You're right the picture does make them shorter, and of course so did my abuse, the only good one of the batch is the left one that I had laying around and threw in to help fire it up. I guess I'll have to try the duraterms 20 secs of glow time would wake an engine from the...

    Manual glow plug rules

    Hey all, my truck was getting harder and harder to start and naturally I checked out the glowplugs. I converted mine over to the ford solenoid a while back and was getting perhaps a bit overzealous on the push button inside. I pulled the plugs and this is what I found: Here are three old...

    Front Tires going bald faster than me!

    I think you confused schiker's sig with mine, I don't have spacers. And I would put the old tires back on except I mounted the new ones on my only set of wheels and I dont want to go through the hassle of remounting the old ones. They are comparable to BFG all terrains. I dont remember well...

    Front Tires going bald faster than me!

    So I jacked up the front and both tires spin independently of one another and the front driveshaft yoke (have driveshaft off now) does not spin meaning the 4wd does not appear to be engaged right? Just to recount, the issue is when turning the front tires disagree and want to hop. (I thought the...

    Front Tires going bald faster than me!

    Sorry forgot to mention that, alignment was just done on it recently and still feels good and I just went through and replaced anything worn in the front end (control arm bushings, ball joints, idler and pitman) I really think that it has to do with the 4wd somehow I just don't have much...

    Front Tires going bald faster than me!

    K here comes my ignorance with the chev ifs system. The tires are just wasting away and when I turn they skip a little like the 4wd is locked up but I have checked the actuator and it works fine and I can feel in the actuator cylinder that it is disengaging. Also I've taken off the front...

    Hey there, I am assuming the truck pictured in your avatar is yours, do you have any more pictures of it? I have a white truck and was thinking of doing the same two tone paint as it looks like yours has. Just too small of a picture to see so if you have more post em! Good looking truck

    Steering box rebuild?

    Good to hear that they rarely wear out, I will adjust it and do the pitman and see if the heavy chevy handles like a vette afterwards. Quick ratio anyone? haha

    Steering box rebuild?

    Great link, I had no idea you could adjust those. Well there you have it. Any idea how long it would take to pull it from the truck? The steering box is probably the only thing that I haven't touched yet on my truck

    Steering box rebuild?

    So I have an old k3500 and it has a lot of slop in the steering. I recently (within the last thousand miles) replaced the idler arm, upper ball joints, upper control arm bushings, and the pitman arm is next (though it doesn't have much play). Naturally, with everything tightened up down there my...

    Howdy

    Just found the site, good to see such a following for the old 6.5. I have a 93 k3500 myself with military takeout 6.5 with the trusty db2 for running weird stuff through the engine because I'm cheap. There's some great posts here and hopefully I'll be able to throw in .02 related to a few of my...
