    fuel pump.

    From what I understand it is not as much of a issue with the truck being able to run as it is a issue with wear and tear on the mechanical pump. Or in other words the less inlet pressure it sees the harder it has to work to get fuel up to pressure.

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    I agree on one hand but disagree on another what I mean is that it depends on who places the production order. Some of the stuff that comes from China is acceptable quality but it must be ordered correctly. Unfortunately most that order from China are racing to the bottom and don’t care about...

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    I am not going to get in the debate of what is better 3 or 5 but I will say I use 5 in my truck. But on to the more pertinent question that has not really been dealt with. Your wheel cylinder cups swelling 2x it’s original size is a major problem and is not related to what fluid you use as these...

    Pic request - Singled 1200R20 with flipped hubs

    I understand that flipping the hubs is the right way to do it but it just looks to goofy.

    Welcome. I don’t know anything about the older gassers or have any parts for them but someone here will be able to point you in the right direction. Is the engine still serviceable or do you think it will need a rebuild after sitting open.

    Aftermarket radiator project for the M35A2 series

    For 150 if it only lasts 5 years that really is not a bad deal in my opinion. But they are using them as a cost effective option if you don’t mind spending money there are many reputable radiator companies that will sell you a more expensive piece of aluminum

    Rear tire is hitting leaf spring on sharp turns

    The springs keep the axle from drifting side to side more than the dogbones do. If it was not for the springs you would just rip the rubber right out of the bushings when loaded and turning. Granted if you have bent or damaged dogbones fix them but you may find bent springs or a bent axle. Don’t...

    Connecting Rod Bolts and Head Studs

    In the racing world it is common to drill out the factory bolt holes to accommodate larger ones. This is extremely common in Japanese gasoline engines that are pushed to the limit in drag racing because they are running incredibly high boost pressure. I said all of that to say if I was in the...

    She won't start

    That only proves that the in tank is working but if you have pressure at the injectors you know the whole system is working.

    She won't start

    I would crack the wheel née toe lines and see if you have pressure at the injectors. If you do then I would be looking at possible stuck injectors.

    Is this a real surplus unit or a add on

    I would not mind owning it but don’t know that my other half would be all that entertained about it.

    Balancing Tires

    Coolant in a tube would be ok as far as safety is concerned but not in tubeless wheel/tire combos. Many farmers and loggers have experienced the effects of coolant and the loss of friction between the bead surface. Imagine trying to pull a plow and the wheel spinning in the tire or having a...

    Oil & lubrication

    I have spent many hours researching oils and it is one of those things that is hard to get straight answers on. But to sum up my hours of research most oils are more than sufficient out of the bottle. Oils have progressed so far that even the cheaper ones are still good but the premiums just...
