I have a whole folder full of manuals and I frequently confer with them to find stuff out. But I'm learning as I go and if I had known that was the flywheel (I did caution others about my ignorance) it would've been easier to search. I did a further search from the first response and came across another thread that turned into what this one has turned into.
I'm sure some who read this might be shaking their heads now and thinking I shouldn't own one of these. My confidence that I can figure things out, that I'm not afraid to ask for help even if it makes me look like an idiot, and ability to get things done one way or the other that I've done my whole life are reasons why I decided to buy something I know/knew nothing about.
I just thought it would be faster to quickly post the pic here and if people didn't want to respond, then I'd spend more time tracking it down.
My learning has been done by coming up with an idea, figuring out the terms of that part or place in the truck, researching what I can in the manuals and crawling around trying to do it. I know a professional car mechanic and he's helped on a number of things, but the truck is new to him as well. I also have a professional truck mechanic shop that will work on things that I feel are beyond me.
I do certainly appreciate the posts here and others I've received when I've made other posts/questions. Sometimes, like my post about "highway handling", I did about an hour's worth of searching on the board before posting. Thing is, my post was up and people started to reply did I find the keywords that I didn't know about in order to do a better search and/or follow the links that people posted about previous threads that I couldn't find because, again, my ignorance.
I hope I don't come across as sounding pissed in this post, I'm not. I just want to make my position (and ignorance) clear and to assure people that I will almost certainly continue to ask questions because I'd rather ask and be ignored than not ask. I will also keep looking through the manuals and I will probably miss stuff.
Attitudes it's all about your attitudes around here. Jack & Jill drove up a real steep hill to fetch a pale of water in there Deuce. Good thing as they had a good attitude and the Deuce never lost oil pressure.
