This farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named Kenny. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem." Well, Kenny the rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Kenny. The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in the barnyard, but first he gave the rooster a pep talk "I want you to pace yourself. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me, a lot of money; consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun, "the farmer said, with a chuckle. Kenny seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house and Kenny takes off like a shot. WHAM! Kenny nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that, the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen and, sure enough, Kenny is in there. Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese down by the lake. Once again - WHAM! He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Kenny out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next morning to find Kenny on his back out in the middle of the yard, mouth open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the air. Buzzards are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colourful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself." Kenny opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says "Shhhh, they're getting closer!"

Yeah it says cleaner air for Iowa on pumps, Wonder how much polution it takes to make it just like the 0 immission electric vehicles, someone somewhere had to polute to make em, just lithium batteries alone can't be that healthy. Hopes and dreams

I'd love to but it seems to be everywhere here, hard to find regular anymore. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough idk.

Not great from what I've seen. They claim to put additives in there to 20 below, but I've put some in the glass jar and set it outside overnight, in the morning it looked like slurpee at -10.

I've been using bio for a while now since that's all I can get around here for the most part and I haven't added any two stroke to it. There was a chart somewhere saying that if you use 5% bio then it lubricates way better than any other additive. Our pumps labeled 5 to 20% bio, so I don't see a reason adding anything when using bio blend. I noticed I'm getting a bit less MPG using it but the price offsets that just fine, 30/40 cents cheaper than regular.

Here we go

Sorry to say this but you guys are just scratching a surface of what is really going on, not just here but in the world. Lies are everywhere, virtually everything we're told is a lie. Information is out there if you're willing to look.

Cool, do you sell shim kits for vp44 truck injectors. I got mine few years back from you set at 320bar but I'm pretty sure they have settled down. I don't have that many miles on them, maybe 20k so no reason to do anything different other then reset the pop. I'm just getting things lined up now so I have everything when time comes. In process of building a pop tester from a floor jack now, seems to be popular option. If you don't sell shim kits maybe you could point me in direction of who does.

I actually drilled and tapped for a grease fitting facing 90° towards rear on both sides. Tiny hole all the way through and a 1/4" one for the fitting. First I do the fitting then drill through, this way I keep all shavings out. So when I pump grease in I have old come out from sensor hole while I spin the hub. Then I use a vacuum to get as much out as I can so it's not packed full. Worked great until I changed hubs chasing abs light issue that ended up being rear end sensor. I kept the old hubs as there's nothing wrong with them and what I did is put mineral spirits thinner in there spun the hub vaccum repeat 4-5 times till they were completely clean then pumped fresh grease in and put then on the shelf. To each their own, I'll be tapping new hubs some day in future after I get some miles on new ones, because I know this method works if you pay attention to what you're doing.

What he said, used to be $50 torrent at dap. You pay full price for smarty and when you return it they refund money but keep 50 not sure how it is now. I've been wanting to do this for a long time but been using quad high idle so far.

Does look odd but I don't think that's the problem. Black sticky stuff could be assembly lube still working it self out of the guide, or it could be that your new seals worked them selves up of the guides and got smashed by the retainers. Happened to me, had my head redone and short time after I had bunch of seals that popped off the seats and got hammered. Started rough with lots of smoke, took valve cover off and sure enough. Check them out, then make sure you have no vacuum leaks, they contribute to excessive blowby and in some cases lost oil.

Just seems that it's windy more often then I remember

Back in the day friend of mine had an early 80s chevy, of course we jacked it up 12" with 3" body lift and put some 44 tsl's on it, man talk about death wobble, we were going to an off road park on hwy which has been closed for quite a while now thanks to local government and not wanting people enjoy life, and it started hopping so bad we went of on shoulder almost in the ditch. Everything seemed tight on front end, the only thing I can think of the axle was rotated from the lift so much that's what did it. Idk but it did that to him every so often, he never did fix it had some fun off-roading then sold it to some guy he met at the park.

Some where...

Just put a denso in and forget about rebuilding your Bosch. You can even put a slightly higher amp 160? one from Durango I believe. I rebuild my Bosch it's not too bad. You'll need more than just a rectifier, brushes and armature will need to be changed also along with bearings that are pressed on. Honestly if you get a genuine denso should last a long time, that's why I don't see a point of rebuilding unless you want something to tinker with or money is tight. denso has a power stud in different location but everything still bolts on just fine.

Yes, most important part is it's adjustable. With time your front springs sag a little this puts extra pressure on the track bar and shoves the axle to the passenger side. Every time you go over bumps it gets yanked back and forth, really it takes a lot of abuse. That's why when you go to install one, most of the time you have to lift up on the frame to get holes linend up and then you let it down and all that pressure is put on the ball joint. I'm surprised they last as long as they do to begin with. Add a lift and that will offset the axle because the track bar is too short at this point and that joint will wear out even faster. I wish 4 link suspension was legal, that's the way to do it. Newer dodges kinda got the 4 link going but not a true one. I liked some buggies where front and rear end can be on opposite hills angles crawling up a cliff and cab is centered, smoother ride with coilsprings too.

If you have a factory track bar I bet it's shot. Hard to check it by yourself, need to start the truck and have someone wobble steering wheel back and forth while you look at the end with a stupid ball joint. With the truck weight basically resting on that joint it will feel tight if you just went under the truck and pulled on it. I would highly recommend adjustable track bar with bushing instead of ball joint. I made my own a while back and haven't had any issues. But for the amount of time I spent it makes more sense to buy one, probably safer too. I'm pretty confident in my fabrication so I did it, I would not recommend making your own to everyone as it's an important steering component.

Jag it sounds like you have too much air in bags and possibly wore out or weak shocks for what you do. Of course front level kit doesn't help you in this situation. Eat the turkey save the chicken, they get a break this time of year.

I don't think so, it looks like it's been changed by a dealer at some point, my truck has exact same sticker and po told me that the original owner he got it from had the pump replaced under warranty. As for your surging issue it sounds identical to what I've experienced a while back. I too wanted to change the vp44, that's how I found this place. First I changed injectors it seemed to help but didn't completely cure it, then I checked ac noise and found I had bad diodes. So I rebuild the alternator and it got way better, and eventually when WT article came out did that and it lowered the ac noise a bit more. I didn't have any white smoke then it was surging but fee times seen it come out of tail pipe after long hwy run coming to a stop sign, twice now and what's wired both times at same stop sign. That's normal, just play with the go pedal to keep it from dying. I'd say check ac noise to be sure, codes, go over grounds etc. White smoke is timing related usually. What fuel do you use, bio or regular and if regular do you add 2 cycle oil to it.

No cam bolts, I still need to do this myself. As for tierods I have a 3d gen T style one, took few tries with tape measure and now it seems really good, no abnormal wear on tires after 7-8 k a season, then I rotate tires. If anything you want 0 toe or just a tiny bit positive. There are more than one way of doing it. I had axle on jackstands, spun tire holding a screwdriver so I had a straight line then did my best measuring. When I did adjustment tires were on the ground, not sure what's the best way, it worked for me.

What they said^^^

No I see, not really. Ok makes sense thanks
