Engineers! How do you figure when the spring compresses it decreases force on the bushing? It is bearing directly on the bushing. The upper king pin is slightly tapered towards the top and the only force on that joint is lateral so as it gets lateral force the bushing will try to ride up the...

Sorry, I didn,t see the links. I am old fashioned and use regular URL links.

OK, We all know about idling a military generator. BIG No-No. I have a question. Is there any way of disconnecting the critical generating components without disconnecting the engine operating system? Example #1, Can I unplug the generator controllers from the control box but still have the...

Marcus, We just went through all of this in another thread. Two of us even provided our own third party experiences with the government inspections. You were part of that thread, why rehash it again here? Here is the thread...

Just so you know, king pins and ball joints are different setups.

I agree that the stabilizer had to be replaced. The bushings will always look bad on the outer edges, that is why I said to have someone turn the wheels and see if they actually are bad. The part hanging out of the side of the spring really does nothing, it is the inner part that counts. With...

The stabilizer will mask the problem, a new one might even make it go away, until the problem beats the stabilizer to dearth. A properly set up front end will not need a stabilizer at all. I have not had one on my 1008 since I got it 12 years ago. The original was bashed in so I took it off and...

8472 beat me to it, it is not real common with Chevies but with the weight on the ground, preferably concrete or pavement have someone rock the steering back and forth. Put enough input into the turning to just start to turn the tires. Have them keep this up while you go over every part of the...

I will bet half of you are using speech recognition software.

Thats alright, you guys type too fast for me in chat. By the time I respond to something you are on another subject! Rick

All I get is a Windows 7 loading symbol just swirling around. It will go on forever but nothing will happen. I have the latest updates for Java.

I have never been able to get into the temp chat. Found the Facebook page but could not do anything once there either. Oh well, back to reading.

50.00 isn't much more than a decent tarp! Thanks Gimp, I'll have to start looking for a couple of them. Rick

Yup, That would be the one I have, guess that is why search did not come up with anything. Gimp, How in the world did you figure that out? Toss a Hummer top on one for storage one day and say "Hey, you know............"?:D How hard to get, or should I say, expensive are hummer tops? This is not...

Did a search for M116 tarps and came up with everything but. Can anybody tell me if any other trailers use the same tarps or a good place to find one? Rick

LMAO!!! I do have to agree with scaring people off with the instant RTFM stuff. Some newbies don't even know where to find the FTM! Yea, I know, they should read it before doing anything else. I am sure we ALL read the manual first didn't we? Yea Right! 85% of those who answered yes are lying...

Wow, I am subscribing to this one. This looks like it is going to be a fun project to watch. I wish I had the time and knowledge to tackle something like this.

Even if he was just looking for that particular truck and Kevins name was not involved you have to remember he bought this truck back in the beginning of November. The one you pointed out just sold beginning of this month. What are the odds of two of these trucks coming up for sale so close...

Xylene is my favorite for the tar like gunk in diesel tanks.
