bad a.... is to pick up your 14.00 or 16.00 when its on a wheel and put it in the bed of your truck. I am sure my body will regret is someday.LOL...oh man, nothing says "I'm a bad---" like needing a winch to deploy and retrieve your spare tire.

All in jest.That will get you a ride in a cop car.

I keep telling you!bad a.... is to pick up your 14.00 or 16.00 when its on a wheel and put it in the bed of your truck. I am sure my body will regret is someday.
Yes it will! It only takes one stupid thing to tear your back up, and no real way to make it the same again.bad a.... is to pick up your 14.00 or 16.00 when its on a wheel and put it in the bed of your truck. I am sure my body will regret is someday.
You can go over to a Horton thermal switch and solenoid and it will prevent any of that ever happening. It also gives you a manual override for better cooldowns and an engine brake if you need one.Fixed ShutterStat from pressurizing my cooling system...Again!... 1 year ago bought a new shutterstat which solved my pressurized cooling system issues (actually, i tried "repairing" the original before reading the posts on SS and subsequently rendered it inoperable - hence the replacement unit) ... Well, 3 days ago, big puddle of water under the truck due to over pressurized cooling system. Sinking feeling, head gasket this time? Bypass shutterstat, no issues. Pulled shutterstat today and replaced the end o-ring with a Hydrogenated Nitrile blah blah... (HNBR-green) o-ring... 2 hour test run - no issues, fan works as it should and no big pile of water under trunk; coolant levels normal later in the evening. Shutterstat - Clever - Simple and yet, big pain in the ....
Yeah, I saw your posts in the archives where you suffered multiple failures. I'm sure that was frustrating.They won't "tear" as per se. As the rubber ages and dries out, it shrinks. As it shrinks, its diameter gets smaller, and it pulls away from the ID of the bushing shell itself. So, in essence, the entire rubber isolator ring becomes detached from the metal bushing shell, which is pressed into the end of the bone (torque rod).
I'm not real fond of the pry test, as they may test OK, but then once they break free they will come off a few sharp turns later. The uppers are the ones you really want to watch, as they are the ones that prevent the axle from rotating. A few here have had them detach, and there is only one per axle, but when it does, the axle housing rotates, breaks the driveshaft coupler, bends the shaft, and can tear all the air brake hoses off. A total mess. I guess the pry test is about all you can to for evaluation though. A lot are coming apart due to the age of these vehicles though.
I replaced all of mine and added retainer plates (drill and tap) for when they detach in the future again another 20 years from now. I had 3 come apart one-by-one on off-roading trips which ended the fun pretty quick. Sucked. Only took 1/4 - 1/2 of a day to remove and replace them all. Can do it with the truck on the ground, all off at once, no problem.
Passengers side of the axle. They go from the top of each axle to the reunion behind the leaf springs on the inside of the frameYeah, I saw your posts in the archives where you suffered multiple failures. I'm sure that was frustrating.
Everyone keeps mentioning "upper" and "lower" but I'm confused. I'm only seeing a single pair of dog bones per side, under the trunnion bearings/leaf pack. 4 total, but the parts manual does indicate 6. Where are the other two?
Its just a day delay getting to you.I guess I should be happy to be in positive numbers, no matter how low.
TobyS-Its just a day delay getting to you.
My state had 95% of it's 23m acres that were old growth hardwood forests, oak, maple and quite a bit of walnut. That area was reduced to under 15% in the 1920's and today is just above 20%. Now we have corn, bean, some wheat that grows annually with lots of chemicals, but is barren about 9 months a year. That is over 18,000,000 acres of carbon sink, wind slowing, water holding and timber resource...GONE.
I hear plenty about taxing energy that are high carbon producers, but nearly nothing about removing the trees that slowed and moderated our weather.
Re 5 ton...I looked at the M929 and prayed that the two tires going low do not go flat before it warms up a bit and I can get them aired up. Took CTIS off, so at least I have a chance of keeping them up (new 395's XZL's).
