  1. That's a sweet truck. How much is fuel up there. Diesel is 2.40 to 2.50s down here. Rumor is barrel prices have gone negative today
  2. Managing to keep working in the boise area loving fuel prices as the world crumbles
  3. When you have to let off to make the up shift does t slam in. Does it upshift with normal pedal pressure. If so what rpm.
  4. Dabble in s few things. Currently sitting here wondering how to now survive. Taking any work I can get from dirt to trees and mobile welding hell I may have to fall on grass cutting Its gona get rough 4 months ago I bought a house. Ughhhh
  5. Been out in jeep quite abit lately. Got a new toy to now not even rubber can hide from my hacking. Improvement was very noticable on these fronts. Photos wont load. I bought a tire knife and turned the jeep tires. There kinda a cross between a tsl and Parnelli dirt grip
  6. Offcourse I have to share a picture turned out I shount have because I'd rather have not known the under sides coated in diesel. Grrrrr
  7. There are good shops Dynamic happens to be one that's computer savvy. There builders youl never hear of in your area maybe even working out of they're garage. Look towards small shops race car guys. Sled pulls
  8. Fuel pressure will fluctuate with voltage slightly. But barely. That pump looks normal I wouldn't assume it's been replaced. Mine was done at bout 150 I now have about 180 on the second pump it still has the void sticker. Would be nice to go to 500 on this pump.
  9. Lol deep is mid I guess. Goerend holds +2.5 ppe + 4 I do really like the goerend pan. I was unsure about how low the ppe hangs but hasn't seemed to be an issue
  10. Maybe the pinion nuts backed of little and is allowing the gears to walk in and out of eachother causing a vibration that is harmonically removing bolts slowly. This happened on my dana 80 took me a long time to track it . This also ate my gears. I'm still running it but getting tons of metal dust nd chunks. I may upgrade to a dana70 when my 80 goes. Damn thing just keeps going but is eating itself. I did think wheel bears. Checked both sides multiple times. The have that little staple thing that keeps the axle nut from backing off I think that cant come off because the axle bolt flange keeps it from backing out. I think. I had done rear rotors nd thought I'd reinstalled bearings without the correct preload. Almost all things come back to what I ws just working on this why I kept going back to wheel bearings.
  11. I think goerend is mid pan. The ppe like I use is what guys call a double deep. Over years I've never hit a rock or tree with my pan. Closest I cam to do any damage ws when a Buick skylark kinda side swiped me and drove under my rear axle. I do really like my ppe pan I did lots of reading and had to have it. It is a damn solid unit.
  12. Haha I wanted to see if tv stop had been fiddled with. Are we locked down?
  13. I was like sweet noones at Walmart in mtn home at 9PM last night. Well they were closed
  14. Tube fenders just about done.
  15. I ran it to pdc. Grounded on the fire wall.
  16. No we can read pressure off the accumulator port in the the transmission. I'll have to make up another gauge. Th he last one exploded in my cab when trans pressure broke 200psi. It's only 165 ish now. Alittle bit ok slack in cable is okay. Would Wednesday work sometime after 5
  17. Lol. Yeah we're all going to get it. **** its coming. I live the bachelor life maybe I need to stock up
  18. Technically it shouldn't have alot of free play. The procedure to djust this cable is checking it at wide open throttle with converter locked in 3rd. Rpm when it makes the shift at wide open throttle should be 2800-3000. Tightening the cable will make it shift higher rpm looser lower. Theres is tv stop inside the tranny to set minimum pressure off idle this is what I I am curious about.
  19. The tv cable comes over the pulls tv lever to rear Has a plastic sleeve over the end that looks liking a writing pen body. It will pull off towards the motor with no tools. Doing this will allow you to see and feel freeplay. Tube may aslo already be loose This is on drivers side pretty much under driver seat
  20. I think that is vent. Yes I can look at it but no guarantees we fix anything. Driving normal what rpm is it shift at?
  21. I dont have stall ing issues with 100s and dont think many do. So I think 50 work without issue. My mind goes to maybe some thing be off in your trans compared to most Did running idle work. I'm in boise to I'm wondering about TV cable stop and pressure off idle. Is there alot of slack in tv cable at idle truck not running theres a 3" sleeve you can pull away from bracket to be able see slack in cable on tranny end. I can look at it and see if anything looks abnormal on the outside And toss pressure gauge on it see pressure off I'd. I'm guessing it has higher pressure like 100psi plus off idle wich is good but may stall the motor when dropped in gear. Does it down shift well when on the brakes coming to light?
  22. Some of my family has been exposed and are locked down. I have not. My father and I will keep working s long as possible. Someone gotta keep the dirt moving. I've got major repairs to do on our old case 580. When it's time she comes with me. My pickup is at home were the 580 will be coming. I'm planning my work so it keeps rolling no matter. This is the hiwy looking towards boise from star. Very little traffic. Its surreal.
  23. I guess I consider 50s stock. Your in Idaho?
  24. 50horse injectors are considered stock replacement. I dont think you've got enough fuel to stall
