  1. Thats why you the man, I have no clue. Thanks for what you do, so we have such a cool place to come to.
  2. Welder fabricator for 25 years and I feel your pain. Cutting with propane sucks bad, especially double and I cant imagine triple layers geez that makes for a long day.
  3. Same here, I snore like a freight train so Im told. lol I carry a water bottle to bed and it seems to help my sinuses too. Dr says to get a humidifier. I use Afrin once each nostril if I just cant stand it any longer. But only use every 3 days or so. I bale hay in the summer and fall and flonase helps. And sleep in my chair at times too. When I read this I sound like a mess.
  4. Oh man I'd be pissed. You gone hunting yet?
  5. Yes thats the hose and I got the oring coming.
  6. Having a heck of a time finding the right oring for the pressure line that screws into the bottom of the pump. The one they sent is to small. It slides over the tube and the nut pushes against the tube into the pump. If I make any sense. I came across doorman part number 926-157. I hate to keep throwing the credit card at it and coming up with all sorts of orings. I would buy a set of orings but my luck it would have everything in it but the right one. Any help would be great.
  7. My son raced dirt track for 7 years, dont get me wrong I love racing but geez dirt track takes its toll. Fenders, hood, bumper, tires, holes in the radiator, fights in the pit (my favorite) New clutch, new eng. Seeing huge pile up's in turn 4 and here he comes 1st place out turn one. Emotions up and down, it will make an old broke man outta ya quick. Well weve had a couple years off now so lets fix it and lets go.
  8. This gasket came with thick washers with rubber seals. I get their idea of pulling it down tighter but I think it will warp the tin cover. Its new to me thats why I asked. Im just going back with new gasket and the old bolts.
  9. The million dollar question is who use's the thicker washers and who doesn't? Ten years ago they didnt come with the set and I never had a leak.
  10. Did the WT mod before I took it down for repair and its awesome. The charging is perfect the interference is practically zero. The cruise control is dead on. I just hope the vp is happy when it come's back from DAP.
  11. The felpro also came with 1/4 inch thick steel washers with rubber backing along with the thin washers that go behind the bolts. I guess they are for extra cover support.
  12. While my VP is out for repair im resealing left side of block. The old mounting bracket for the stock lift pump is in the way of removing push rod cover and it has a seal back there id like to replace. Am told there is a cap/plug like on old chevy fuel pump where you can cap it off. Not having any luck finding this. Anyone done this and know where I can locate? FOUND IT, LOOK NO FARTHER THAN DAP
  13. The only oil Im familiar with is Amsoil, I ran the 75-90 Trans axle gear lube in my nv4500. I know mobil make one but I cant remember it right off. Others will chime in shortly.
  14. Well dorman makes napa and from everything I searched its on backorder till February 10th. I can get Felpro, any bad reports on felpro lately?
  15. Im starting the project today and checking in to see if there is a preference on what gasket maker to go with as Id like to make this a one time deal. Thanks
  16. Ok I know on autos this helps with TC lock and shifting and such but whats the biggest advantage for a manual truck?
  17. So I completed the WT mod and now how do I test for ac noise? I know I should have done this first but didnt think about it. I also know its in here somewhere but cant find it. Help a guy out.
  18. My tach recently stopped working but after about 5 min or so it started back working again. I was told the cam sensor, so Im pulling that tomorrow. There's an injector install article in here Ive read several times that has helped me just by reading and going over what Ive done it might be helpful for you.
  19. 1st start up of the morning and no tach. 4-5 min. warm up and it starts working again. Do I have a problem in the making?
  20. Yep, made it once again.
  21. And now it's on its way back up. 3.97
  22. If you had a load of mesquite youd be set right. That gets so hot it can get dangerous.
  23. Ok here in south Tx it gets really hot 108 - 110 heat index 115. so what mixture am I looking at for keeping it cool? 50 - 50?
  24. Now we getting to the meat and potatoes of antifreeze. I often wondered about how well it mixes.
  25. Merry Christmas
