I'll agree Dexter axles are a very good quality and common to find parts. :thumbup2:As for the trailer he right again you want a strong trailer but you don't want it so over built that carrying capacity is reduced because it pure weight. Consider the loads you plan on hauling first what kind of GCW are you looking at? Then find a trailer that is capable of handling that load with some margin of error.

The wood shed side is dug out below the foundation level already and there is no water there.

As you look at the pic above the tappets fill the 2 holes and the push rods go up from there... If you had the luck on your side the bit wouldn't make it to the hole in-between the tappets that drops down in the cam area. That's why I suggest the tappet cover.But this is all in theory...

Oh My... That would be a problem... The best thought would be to pull everything off the driver side (VP44, fuel filter, etc) and pull the cam cover off.

That's cool...

No.. because the problem is that cheaper fuel use heavier doses of xylene and benzene to water down the fuel to make it cheaper. Adding more cetane on top just drive the already high cetane higher making matters worse. Refer back to the ASTM testing grid. Higher the cetane the lower the BTU's. Give you point of reference gasoline is roughly 110K to 120K BTU's.

Problem the back of the house is buried in the mountain... Just like the main house.

Power steering is gear driven...The only thing the belt turns... Fan, Water pump, A/C, and Alternator... Sliiping belt could be a cause...

Don't tell me you just free rev'ed it... That doesn't work. How fast are you traveling with your foot to the floor?In my vid this is up to 75 MPH @ WOT. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=grl72Up-8T0 As for the code... Double check the small wire to the relays. But fi they are good then the relay is bad just replace it.

Before throwing parts test it first...Pull the alternator and have it bench tested.Pull the batteries have them load tested.Check the alternator fuse for a crack. Yes these fuse can and will crack which will cause random open circuits or in your case a random dimming.Your right I would take a DVM and load check each circuit to find any draws that are excessive.

Yeah... Like me though I'm really close to weight rating of my LR D's ST Tires aired up at 65 PSI so it wouldn't be wise to push my luck...

You're getting really wet and muddy up there... Wow now that I could really read the article with a fresh mind... It's a mess up north and it explains why the the traffic down here on 95 has been light...

Dang... :duh:It tough to live in Idaho isn't it...

High cetane = Faster burn, early ignition, higher cylinder pressures, lower BTU's Low cetane = Slow burn, later ignition, lower cylinder pressures, higher BTU's (Better for MPG value) From the ASTM testing labs... Hence the knock cetane boosters produces where 2 cycle oil a cetane reducer doesn't do that.

Ok lets start with basics... [*]Is there any error code present? (Use a OBDII error code reader) [*]How is your fuel pressure? (At idle and WOT @ highway speeds) As for the error codes just because the light not on doesn't mean there isn't any error codes. As for fuel pressure you need to know both values because testing at idle might pass with flying colors but fail miserable at WOT at highway speed. This is really common.

If you wanted to confirm the valve and head condition then I would do a compression test to verify if there is any problems. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/34-engine-system/144-compression-testing

I think the key to it is not to operate the tire outside its designed limits and the tire will not blow out. [*]Proper Tire Pressure [*]Operate below the speed rating [*]Don't overload the tire weigh capacity

No problems here... I know with the research of local fuels I do not need to add anything more to the fuel...

Well thank you to the help of Relentless 70 today... He came up and gave me a big hand moving furniture out in the shop and getting all the carpet pulled up and out to the dump. Boy I'll tell you all the carpet was soaking wet yet. So wet that when we threw it on the trailer it was running water all over the place. Then Relentless70's brother came up with a killer idea to prevent this from happening again. Since all the carpet is pulled up and the concrete is exposed... We are going to cut a groove in the floor about 4-5 inches wide then lay in a perforated drain field pipe and stub it out the fondation of the house. Plan on putting 2 pipes in to hopefully keep this from happening again!I'll grab some pics of the house in the morning... I'm a bit tired...(Ummm... You guys need to tone down just a bit on the and ...)

Hang on a second... First off are you setting the VP44 to TDC or BDC? TDC BDC Second off lets stick with american measurements here not metric... 0.010 intake and 0.020 exhaust... 0.010 inch = 0.254 mm 0.020 inch = 0.508 mm

Well the rain that was suippose to come last night didn't show up at all... :woot:Things are still drying out... Now I got to get a hold of Relentless70 and see if I can horse trade with him... I need a second able body to help move furnature around and start yanking up carpet. Messy wet and heavy job...

Kind of like my AirDog 150 with twin filters and then having the stock filter too... Triple filter fuel... I know its clean...

I can use that kind of money to repair the guest house... (Carpeting, drywall, molding, etc.)

Here is what happened...

Mother Nature is going to pour the coals to the weather for tommorow. --- Update to the previous post... Guest house is a loss... Its flooded out 1" deep with water... My neighbor down the road has a mudslide for a driveway now... It's getting ugly with the runoff the creek is now getting muddy and plugging the culvert head for the river... So it might run over the top of the highway soon. Please say a few prayers for us in Idaho... --- Update to the previous post... I spent the better part of the morning with a shop vacuum and a rug shampooer trying to suck up as much water as possible. I know the carpet is a loss... But might as a well protect everything else. Then the culvert that our creek run back through was starting to plug up this morning so battling the pressure of the water I managed to stab the shovel in a few times and break part of the jam up. Then took a ride up the mountain checked on the irriagation system the dam is starting to fill up with debris and rocks. But there is absolutely nothing I can do till the high water stops.
