With having everything apart you may need to crank it over more than expected to bleed all the air out

To touch on the original question bar and chain oil would be my last choice I just feel like the possibility of a unknown negative Side effect would be risky on a long trip when you are trusting the truck to get you somewhere far away. If it did cause you one problem that forced you to get the...

Nobody has done it because honestly it’s a crappy turbo. It is terribly inefficient and does not have a good bearing cartridge . Modern turbos are far better in every way and in many cases cheaper unless you’re going for one of the big names with all of the extra features.

If you just want noises I understand but that is all it will be worth. It is not the right size for a small block and has no wastegate to control boost so it could go bad in a hurry. Gasoline engines also are the opposite of diesel in that you can not run a diesel to lean as to cause damage...

Because the ramps on the trailer would have been stuck in the dirt when the weight was on them and they would not have been able to pull it.

This is what I call reviving a old thread. Can’t wait to see the progress

If you are in to doing things yourself it can be fun to cut your own gaskets out of gasket paper stock. Obviously you should use pre made gasket for the cylinder head, exhaust manifold, valve cover, and anywhere you need a O-ring. But I like making my own for places that just take standard...

I just figured you had trouble reading

I agree I had no trouble installing the clamp and credit it to meticulously cleaning the groove with brake clean

Mine are Not tearing they are only a year old

If you are asking me my boots have not torn they have only been installed for about a year and I do not do any driving that puts my boots at risk for puncture from foreign objects

Being that these boots are in contact with grease you will not get one to last for more than a couple years. There is nothing wrong with zipper boots if you respect them for what they are. They are not weather tight so I would not recommend driving in rain and snow. The boots do not add that...

I did mine in the same orientation as tactical repair without issue. Can’t remember the answer at the moment but I thought the same thing when I got my boots. If memory serves me correct the purpose and orientation was obvious when installing

I went with the silicone ones from big Mike’s they have been on the truck for about a year with no problems so far. I would not want the boots to last much more than 2.5 years because you should be in there to inspect things from time to time. I could not confidently drive a truck as big and...

I am in a position where considering sale of my a2 to free up cash for a business opportunity and decided to list it on Craigslist. Some jack wagon flagged my listing within minutes of posting 2 times. Maybe this is a sign to just keep the truck as I really didn’t want to sell it anyway.

I am running 40 wt in mine

Nice looking truck!!!

Don’t they all slob oil down the side of the engine. Lol

If you have a stethoscope or a long screwdriver you should be able to isolate injector noise. Mine also is a little louder when cold but I always assumed it to be a rocker on the loose side. One day when I get new valve cover gaskets I plan to adjust the valve lash but it is low on the priority...

You should be able to change any dot 3 system to dot 5 without issues. You got a bad batch that had improperly made rubber seals. Brake fluid is unique in the fact that it is engineered to be reverse compatible. What I mean by this is any system it takes dot 3 can take any higher grade as long...
