Hmm. Seems fraud & cheating are considered “democratic” and now I’m essentially a Dictator too, in spite of 3 decades of trying to help people and hundreds of success stories/testimonies, all flushed down the drain now because of my skin color but yet I’m the racist...and a Dictator...and it’s...
I can tell you first hand that it won’t heal itself, it will only get better with surgery (unfortunately). A couple of years ago I had the same injury and had surgery 5 months later. The surgery went great, 3 months of physical therapy and the surgically-repaired shoulder feels better than the...
Yeah I’ve got a Michelin 16.00x20 you can have if you pick it up, in Cedar City UT. I should be home around Nov 1st/2nd, and nothing planned through Nov/Dec.
I-10 will beat you & your vehicles to death across New Mexico.
If you drive across I-84 through Oregon & Idaho down into Utah, I’ve driven it this year through snow storms (going to OR & WA for work contracts) and not only are the roads very very good but the snow removal is excellent. I...

It’s cheaper and easier to just buy them & have them on hand when you need them. The part I’ve had the hardest time finding was the Governor Gap gauge (.200 wedge), had to pay $$$ for a Bosch unit as the KM was just not...
The attached Operator’s Guide should help; it specifies an appropriate ethylene-glycol based coolant; I would stay with a low-silicate GREEN coolant, as the newer orange or pink coolants may have adverse effects on cooling system components in older motors.
There is a Supplemental Cooling...
I assume you didn’t buy your truck brand-new from the manufacturer, so it is 30-35 years old already. Even if it was supposedly “rebuilt” by a government contractor, many items that don’t appear to be needing replacement will be left on the chassis during the “rebuild.” There are numerous...
