  1. I'm no exception to the rule I'm in the frozen northern states too with lots of salt, mag-cloride, and other road chemicals too. Yes I'll tend to agree I tend to grab the ol' Anti-seize bottle more than the tbe of Loctite.
  2. Nothing fancy here. I do everything by hand checking the angles, etc.
  3. Something to add while I was digging around Loctite site. Any of the loctite colors (Red, blue, green) are all thread protectant from the elements like rusting and corrosion too. So thinking of the Anti-Seize vs. Loctite they both are going to protect the threads from corrosion and rust. But one is going to lock the fastener together to prevent vibration from loosen then fastener when anti-seize might not work well in a vibration application.
  4. Here is the video. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEfVU5KhoBc Being you asked... POOF! Upgraded...
  5. Sthl 046 Magnum here... Curve cutting can be a few things. [*]Pulling hard on one side of the handle bar. [*]Dull chain on one side. [*]Worn bar where the chain can rock back and forth. My Saw is close to 20 years old with the orignal factory spark plug and air filter yet. Every year this saw has to cut at least 9-12 cords of wood. No idle issues or starting issues. Usually fires off on the 2nd or 3rd pull with the choke. Stumbles out then click high idle yank again. She lit and ready for work. Just got back from this spot again 2 days ago with a load very much like this one... Screamin' Beaver is back at it again.
  6. Cheaper the better. The more money or expensive the more metallics they add to the pads or shoes. I buy the absolute cheapest. I don't get wrapped up in hype of brand names or anything. I look at this way Dodge got the lowest bidder tof brake pads who ever they were and mine lasted 185K miles with a exhaust brake. Only needed a light rotor turn to bring them back to true. So around 370K miles I'll do it again.
  7. Replacing injectors is the easiest but got the highest price, when pulling and cleaning is the cheaper option. With those kind of miles in might be a good idea to just replace.
  8. Everything you need is right here. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=29
  9. Good to hear you got it out. I heard of thing like that happening. Most grab it with channel locks and lightly pull and twist.
  10. Should be the trailer fuse under the hood in the PDC (Power Distribution Center)
  11. Good reason I do all my own work on my truck and vehicles. Also I don't care if there is a insurance laws about me being in the work area of a shop. I'm always out with my truck. Typically the only shop I go to is get tires done. Even then I watch my truck closely. I know the owner of the shop but I don't know his crew.
  12. Check for vacuum leaks. If there is a vacuum port near the troubled cylinder the lean mixture will act like a misfire. I had this same problem on MoparMom's 1996 Dodge Ram with a P0306 code well changed the plugs, wires, injector (#6), still had it. But come to find a hairline crank on a vacuum line now its all gone.
  13. I typically kick the throttle up for a burst to match my RPM's so I'm not dragging the clutch to meet my downshift R's but to be close and drop the clutch in with little effort or shock. Most of mine is from skidding logs in the forest. Can be a bit harsh at times.
  14. I would have to side with Wild & Free... NV4500 are a better transmission in the sense of rebuilding compared to the NV5600 transmission which is rather difficult from, what I've learned about them. Even though NV4500 only has 4th and 5th overlapped it still a awesome transmission for towing. I've only use 3rd gear on a local grade which isn't a biggy. But all the other highway grades I can pull 4th gear with no problem.As for that clutch it looks like it failed like mine did but I didn't shear mine off like you did.
  15. As for my RV I won't advise hanging a 650-700 pound ATV off the back. Its bad enough I got a 50 gallon water tank right at the rear bumper so the 650-700 pound ATV might pose a big tongue weight issue being I'm rather marginal now with a full tank of water. I didn't opt for the toy hauler for the simple reason I did want to have fuel / oil fumes inside my living area. So that's why I selected a bumper pull trailer because then the bed can haul the ATV, generator, fuel, extra supplies, etc. My RV has very limited storage for odd ball things...
  16. Hex0rz, I got a few place you might want to hang out then. http://www.idahoturbodiesels.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=168 http://forum.idahoopencarry.org/ Both are good places to learn more about your 2nd amendment rights for the state of Idaho. One is the IdahoTurboDiesels.com which is a forum site based in Boise, ID and then the IdahoOpenCarry.org site for information about open and conceal carry of weapons. Personally knowing the police force is reduced and not as present any longer I tend to open carry my 9mm Star pistol more now. MoparMom isn't liking it much but what good is a weapon at home in a closet when you out travelling around the state? Yes. I've got a concealed weapon permit too so I'm good with covering up too. Like I picture I saw on idahoturbodiesels.com basically said, "The average 911 call response time is 25 minutes but the response time of a .357 is x,xxx feet per second." With that being said knowing my county sheriff office is over 52 miles away. so it could be 1-2 hours at least before a Sheriff or deputy would arrive after my 911 call. As for people there is still a lot of good people around here but lack of money, beer, liquor, drugs, etc will make good people do really strange and stupid things. So here at my place I lock up every night nothing is left open and unlocked. All vehicles are put in a garage for the night and even there the vehicle are locked up. RV is locked up, Guest house and shop are locked up. Even the main house is locked up at night. What is nice is the fact that since we are out in the wilderness there is no street lights, no yard lights, nothing. Trust me some nights are so dark that you would kill yourself stumbling around in the dark trying to get to my front door. Good luck getting into the house and trying to get out before either Diesel or I get you!
  17. I don't see why not. I would still limit it too 3 years or 30K miles which ever comes first. This is Dodge owner manual specs.
  18. I would suggest it... Mine is doing exactly the same thing.
  19. Like this bracket... This bracket was discontinued and no longer produced.
  20. Weird... :think:Some of the strangest things about ECM problems that are hard to figure out.
  21. Problem. Can't haul the ATV in the bed of the truck with a 5th wheel or a gooseneck.
  22. Something UltraGauge will not be able to do... ScanGauge II is going to be capable of data-logging and using USB cable to dump logged information to a personal computer. http://www.pureenergysystems.com/store/ScanGauge/USB.htm Something to aid in deciding on which to buy...
  23. I did the same thing too kept the stock filter can and added a Vulcun Big line kit to the filter to the VP44. Stable and very little pressure fall from idle to WOT. (2-3 PSI only).
  24. If got a Reese WD setup for my 8,500# trailer. Mine is the chain and bars type and believe it or not I had to lighten the tension on the bars because it was capable of making the rear of the truck too light and promoted sway issues. In theory 13-15% of your gross weight will be tongue weight. So roughly speaking for my own trailer using 13% against 7,500# gives me 975# of tongue weight. But my water tank is at the very rear (at the rear bumper) of the RV so this tend to make my tongue lighter (not good).
  25. First thing you need to do is move to a location where you away from any services. Like I'm 20 miles north of New Meadows, ID and 15 miles south of Riggins, ID. There is no cell service here at all. There is phone, power and internet. That's it. We pull the satellite dish off the house 8 years ago and no longer have TV either. No FM radio either. Since we are so far out power is a issue too. When storms or a accident occurs sometimes power can be out for 24 hours or more like 7 days. So I'm completely self powered here with hydro, solar, or gas power generator. I've got 24 volt battery bank hooked to 4Kw inverter to power the house. So the way I designed everything was to consider what if everything was to quit power, phone, highway washed out, no emergency services, etc. This it was the way it was for the 1996-1997 flood of Idaho. The highway was washed out in several places, power lines dumped in the river several places, telephone lines where yanked off the houses from falling trees just down the road. Our plan is to have enough supplies for at least 30-60 days of normal life. The flood had us trapped on a 2 mile island without services for over 9 days. It was tough. But we made it fine with the few things we did have. But now we are well stocked and ready for any storm or outage. You got to remember even every day shopping for bread, milk, and eggs is not a quick round the corner thing for us. Even this is a 35 mile one way (70 mile round trip) to McCall, ID. Like I broke a pulley on the lawn mower blade deck and had parts order for my truck (A/C Parts). Now you got to go to Ontario, OR for stuff like that which is 125 miles one way. This takes planning and consideration. You don't just hop in the truck and drive that distance to pick up 1 part and come home. What you do is delay as long as possible and get a shopping list together for Ontario, OR and then make a day trip of it. Like right now MoparMom and I have to do a Emmett, ID camping trip with RV to go shopping at Winco. This is where we do cases of can goods, large amount of meats, etc. This is slick because now you can store all the frozen and cold stuff in the RV and not hurry home. Not to mention after shopping all day the last thing you want to do is try driving 3 hours back up canyon. So at least you can get so good sleep and be safe driving home! I will admit there is a world of difference between the way I live to most people that life in a city. I always think to myself I'm responsible for my family and me. There is no one else out here to bail us out. What I mean is truck breaks down who are you going to call? There isn't cell service here. Someone breaks into the house the county Sheriff is over 2.5 hours away like calling 911 is going to do anything. So I have my choice of weapons to protect my family. I do work for the local fire dept. so fire protect I'm covered. But what I'm getting at is that I do not rely on public service very much to bail me out. I make sure I never get to that point.I better quit...
