Fact of the matter is this, they act like an open rear until one wheel spins up and then the governor applies pressure to engage the teeth on the side clutch plates. The big problem is when someone stomps the pedal and one tire immediately spins up to 40 or 50 mph and then the governor kicks in...

I would suggest you pull the diff cover and see what is there. Dirty oil is a given but any metal filings or chunks means you caught it before it let you down on the highway. 10 bolt rears are a dime a dozen so if it is bad you should be able to find another for 100.00 or less. Look for one with...

OK, Let's figure out what you have in there first. Did you buy this truck from G/L or private? If it is jacked up both rear wheels in the air and in neutral, turn one wheel fairly quickly which way does the other one go? If you hold one wheel and turn the other does the driveshaft turn or is it...

I hate to tell you this but you should not hear a gov-loc at all! What are you hearing? What kind of sound? Those Gov-loc's tended to hand grenade if you spun one wheel to fast before they had a chance to engage. I have seen a lot of them come right through the diff cover. Rick

You guys are talking about all different bolts and even different lengths. I am not all that well versed on the multifuel but I have built a couple hundred engines in my years as a mechanic. Has anyone thought about the weight difference of the bolts and the effects of that on the big end of the...

Why didn't you make the tank out of aluminum? Less weight and no worries about rust from the water that will inevitably be in the WMO. Rick

You repainting the Durango? Rick

ABS, That means you have to have computer controlled servos somewhere. Out of my league. Rick

Are the drums tight again? If yes then it is most likely rusty e-brake cables. Replace both. If the drums are not dragging then check the rear axle bearings. I would guess that since you said they were dragging from the start that the brake cables will be your issue. Rick

10,500 lb. boat. That is one big boat to trailer! Rick

IFTA should only come into play if you are hauling freight commercially. Anything that falls under ICC jurisdiction.

Do you have lock outs on the hubs? If not you may have a bad U-joint. Or possibly a bind in the differential, I am in no way knowledgeable about these diffs. Rick

If you think it is a u-joint better check them out now. If that front joint on the rear shaft breaks it will be an a first class ride to he!!. The shaft will drop, whip around to the side and if you are lucky the rear joint will break right away. Does not usually happen that way and it can do...

It has been a while since I had a DB-2 pump apart but isn't there a filter right at the inlet? If you are running WMO it is possible that you clogged that filter. These engines are not designed to run on anything but CLEAN diesel. While it sounds like a pump issue I also note what you said about...

I have a CDL A with all the endorsements except hazmat and that one is a nightmare I do not want. I keep it for the main reason that I already had it for when I did drive commercially. Couple things to keep in mind. EXPENSIVE!!! Mine is 150.00 plus for three years, at least that was two years...

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. If the longer shackle was on the rear of the front spring then that would have induced positive caster which is not really a bad thing. Since you did already correct for that if you have a wandering issue just try taking out the axle shims.

If that shackle lift was on the front of the spring as it looks to be you are going to have steering issues. That will change your castor angle towards the negative which will cause it to wander and the steering not to self return. You can get angled shims for under the springs to compensate for...

In the case of recasting you will find that a good bond is not gong to happen most of the time. The old post will have to be exceptionally clean, the mold will have to be preheated and the lead will have to be hot enough to melt the top layer of the old post to create the bond. Then it will have...

I have a set that I would let go for a lot less than 300.00. I will check and see if they are accessible when I get home. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Side terminal adapter, beat me to it. Make sure to clean up all of the lead on top. That is all electrically hot and will cause more fireworks if you are not careful.
