The m1009 you need to pop the diff cover to drain then you can mop out the thick goop and clean the magnets. The 1028 could be the same, but I'm not sure.

I have never done one before and have been working up my confidence to get it done by reading up in the TM and on here. I hope to get it done this week, and I think I have a handle on it except for one part in the TM that's confusing. I took a photo and underlined the text I'm confused by...

Thanks for sharing. Personally, I like to see different directions people go with these trucks. It's cool you have had it since high school and it has changed as your life moves on. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the rest of the build.

I'm was not getting great mileage and have been working through a list of things to hopefully address that. A stuck engaged fan clutch reduces mpg. Also, I replaced the water pump and read that the clutch often gets replaced with that, but I did not do that at the time. In reading about fan...

Great, thanks guys. So to verify proper operation, start the engine and wait for the fan speed to slow down.

Thanks for your help guys!

The bolt is 1/4" so the square part of the tool is 1/8"

Like this?

NAPA has none in stock either.

Here is the bolt: You can see it mushroomed near the threads from me being a dumb gorilla.

I'm looking for the easy out. Advance only had 3/8" which is too big.

Here's how screwed I am

Hey guys. I was having a nice morning working on the truck replacing the transmission filter which seemed simple enough. All was going well until I misread the TM torque for the bolt that holds the filter as ft/lbs instead of in/lbs and sheared off the bolt. I tried a reverse twist bit to get...
