  1. @CUMMINSDIESELPWR you should just get a hold of President Trump and tell him to just sign your stimulus check over to NAPA, it'll be easier...
  2. I though most vehicle a/c cycled intermittently while in defrost mode to help remove moisture from inside the vehicle? Helps to keep the inside of the glass fog free on wet days.
  3. "Mr President, i need a check for Me, Myself, and I. Thanks!" $3600
  4. Yup, I run the the adjustment screw all the way to bottom just lightly seating then I back off from bottom 1.5 turn to give slack to the gear teeth. You'll have to lift the output shaft a bit so you can get the slack you need. You can do the 1/4 turn method but you might have to do it like 20 times till you get the slack taken up.
  5. From what I remember reading on here, they are set for there own truck. I believe there is a very small possibility that you can switch them and they work interchangeably, but I believe there Vin numbers have to match closely, and there are alot out there. @Mopar1973Man I believe can answer this question much better than I can.
  6. Finally got the truck back from trusted installer. The owner of the trusted installer shop took a class and got trained on manual transmission rebuilding just to fix my truck. Turns out the only thing wrong with the transmission this time was the input shaft wasn't shimmed properly. Transmission now shifts great. I'm letting the truck sit for a few days and then I'm going to go fire it up and drive it cold to see if it still shifts great. Owner of the trusted installer shop says it shifts great cold or warm. This is the happiest he has been with the transmission. Trusted installer's opinion: transmission would shift a whole lot better with a factory clutch over the dual disc, but acknowledges the dual disc will outlast and out perform holding power of a factory style clutch. Since this isn't a "race truck" or a "street toy" where super fast shifts matter the whole package will probably serve me well for years and miles to come. While it was there the list of items repaired was: All ball joints Control arm Hub & bearing Allignment Thermostat Front/rear diff and transfer case fluid And I know I'm forgetting something but I'll update this thread in a few days. Truck drives straight as an arrow. It almost feels like the newer modern trucks ... 80% of the way there. There is a little bit of play in the steering box but that is to be expected on these trucks. I have a steering box brace to help with the box deflection, but the box itself is on the worn side. It's not too bad yet and I'm still recovering from this bill maybe at a later date I'll think about a box, but right now the truck drives so good it's not worth it to me.
  7. I definitely understand where you are coming from. I was a bit worried myself after installing LED bulbs, new housings and the color changing bulbs in my turn signals. But it was no problem during the state inspection here in NC.
  8. I prefer the copper-nickel brake line. Easy to work with and can be ran wherever you want. Will never rust.
