    Got driveshafts balanced yet? Otherwise, it's like a grenade ready to go off at any time.

    I am assuming that there is no driveshaft phasing issue. I know that they are balanced. Phasing was incorrect on mine. Double check this. Are tires balanced? For vibrations you have some options. 1. Steelman noise vibration system (around $200) 2. Put of lift and watch for movement 3...

    Got driveshafts balanced yet? Otherwise, it's like a grenade ready to go off at any time.

    I have seen pictures of cracked bell housing, broken alternator brackets, cracked water pumps, and air compressors and gears damaged. In my case the interface of the compressor and power steering pump opened up due to a loose bolt. Those pesky driveshafts need balancing. It's not worth driving...

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    Can't do stamping, but can do flat disks. Flat disks I can cut in the next month or so. I'm very busy. My cnc plasma table is not dialed in yet. Need dimensions. prefer in DXF file format. If someone provides .dxf file with dimensions, I will cut you a deal when I make them. Pun intended lol Ha!

    Cat 3116 LMTV - Synthetic Oil

    I see what you are saying. I suppose it depends on the type of use. It could be argued either way. What I am saying is this. If you don't drive the vehicle enough to get it fully heated up each time (these are notorious slow to heat up), say short test drives, then synthetic is better. If you...

    Cat 3116 LMTV - Synthetic Oil

    Synthetic should be your choice if your vehicle gets started and stopped a lot with little drive time. It is typically more stable to oxidation, etc. I use Blackstone.

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?
