You stated new wires, but what about cables? When loading the cables have you checked for excessive heat in positive or negative? What about painted surfaces? And Tinstar is correct that my last problem was the starting slide on the steering column. I grabbed a known good one and replaced and...

I am a believer that a lot of the dually conversions are from Texas. I think that truck was a motorpool conversion to what was needed directly at the time that the upgraded hardware became available. I also think that was a 1031 that started life but that a field commission was applied as I am...

Tag I am going to try this.

Starter bolts, have you replaced them with new?

What condition are the battery cables in? When you bend them do you hear a crackling, brittle, or looking at the ends do they look corroded or off color? Twist the ends of positive cables to feel for retention or looseness. It sounds like you may have found the problem. Check the cables...

Not to many hands know how to use road graders. Kind of a lost art form. The last grader I seen working was a Cat 14G that was GPS operated. A very complex machine that in capable hands can accomplish many tasks.

Palm buster, I can remember about 25 years ago when the last time I used one. I will say that it sure beats the Western Wheel horse drawn grader that I have.

Even in parts to someone who needs, would be able to gather up what they need. Heading out to a salvage yard or two in the morning to hunt for parts. Or maybe a whole vehicle.

Is there a Military jetski to put in the pool? Style points off the chart!

Signed Up Had some catching up to do, and will pass on the petition to other clubs and motor vehicle enthusiasts. An attack on Freedom is not going to be overlooked by anyone who decides to Voice their concerns about their own Hobby, or even Lifestyle. There are many Businesses that make a...

Did you check rings with oil to see if they are sealing while heads were off? Did you tear heads down and at least lap the valves? Were the pistons at top of bore at top dead center? Advice or help can only be givin, then reason has to be a self decision.

If you like projects or parts for projects, $200.00 or walk away. Leave number, He will call[thumbzup]

Also remember to use NEW head bolts as after being yielded once, stretched bolts will have a different torque to get an as before result. And may fail in doing so.

Most of the heads that I have looked at are cracked between the valves. True that a micro crack when cold will be harder to see, remove the valves and check for visible cracks, discoloration. Water leaking into the cylinder from a cracked head will have the carbon removed from area of the crack...
