Wow! That IS the solution! Thanks, man! Rick

My thoughts are: a) Poor grounds affecting the operating voltage of the gauge b) Power voltage fluctuations affecting the gauge c) Actual mechanical problem with the thermostat d) Mechanical problem with gauge My recommendations are to tap the dash when you feel the the gauge is reading too...

Recovery, I've been meaning to ask: Why are you no longer the "Mr. Minimum bid" man? What happened? Did you win too many items at one time? Rick

Rayzer, your method is attractive for simplicity and cost! If you have not already done so, please post up a thread about your system and please include photos. Questions: Do you find it necessary to heat the oil (what are your ambient temps) and what is the gravity pressure head (PSI) you are...

Barrman, I have been caught in the same trap before: multiple failures masquerading as a single systemic failure. There is no way that I know of to anticipate multiple failures. Hindsight is sometimes all we got! Kinda like realizing later in life that school was a good thing..... DH is correct...

Bienvenue et bonjour de Costa Rica. Vous avez de bons amis ici. Rick

Man, that is one tough looking rig! I would be proud to park that in my yard! Maybe for restoration, maybe just as a piece of yard art! I believe it's a w300, according to the 6 lug hub pattern. Rick

Purchasing from GL means lowest cost, higher degree of risk and maximum time to ownership. Private party is highest cost, lower risk and quickest time into the drivers seat. Have you spent any time around the deuce? They are very basic and do not require lengthy training to operate, maintain...

Thanks for the lead, Clinto. Has anyone else bought and used the crimping tool and had success manipulating the female terminal springs other than Jones who has made a capture/transfer tool for the purpose? Rick

Great avatar photo there, LowTech! I like the paint job and seeing the rear suspension being flexed! Yeah, lessee what the crimping tool looks like. I could justify another special tool and forward the preservation of some trucks by cleaning up some terminal connections. Rick

My recommendation is to learn the NSN numbers of any parts or vehicles you wish to search for, then (with being logged on to your GL account) create a search routine that you can easily trigger anytime you are needing something. You can create searches using words, NSN numbers or both. It is...

Hi coach! I am glad to see you here as well as the other place you are known. Best wishes to you and enjoy the addiction! Rick

Wildchild you may be right. It may be harmonics going in and out of phase. I believe your situation is that when your engine achieves operating temperature it settles down at a RPM and smoothness that prevents or is outside the window of allowing the harmonics to occur. Question: What are the...

duece4Two welcome and enjoy the company! Rick

That helps! Now what didn't you explain this sooner when you were jousting with that other feller?!!! The warn snatch block in my Land Cruiser confirms your explanation and understanding. It says right on it it is for winch loads 1/2 of the block rating. appreciate the learning, Rick

Have you tried anything to confirm your diagnosis, like backing off the adjusters or pulling off the drum for a preliminary inspection? The reason I ask is that I don't often see broken springs. Corroded and rusty, but not many broken. What I have found on these trucks is crud in the wheel...

Ty, I cannot get my mind right. A 10k winch pulls 10k. Doubling the line back to the vehicle performing self recovery doubles the pull power but it is still the 10k being leveraged. In the above situation the snatch block will see 10k, and the truck front bumper will see about 20k..... I...

Mike, do you have any idea what those typewriter looking devices are that are seen in pic #7? Rick

Those tires are perfect for the wheel openings. Thanks and congrats to you. Rick

Wise guy huh? Why I oughta..... Get crack'in on that bob job and post some pics!! Rick
