This is crazy! I think Ill continue to stick with only using autos only pumps.

I will have to take you up that. I thought I had a slight grasp on it before the accident but after with the TBI and my memory loss Im not making head way. Nothing like waking up to that smell...🤮 Possibly, tomorrow might be better. I got this late and were cooking dinner then showers etc and all the fun stuff before bed time. Ill make sure to plan it accordingly, can we do around 6pm tomorrow? My listed phone is fine. Thank you @Tweety Bird for the kind words!

Man that sucks, a lot to deal with. They had to take out all of my large intestine and some of my short intestine. I had an ostomy for quite awhile, I know the feeling! I was absolutely miserable with it. Now I have short bowl syndrome which is a pain in the ***, pun intended, with everything hooked back up Sounds like were both in bad shape with completely changed lives lol, I'm here if you ever need to talk or vent 😉 The mudslide is just crazy! I cant imagine losing my shop, much less dealing with the aftermath. If I was closer I would help out with the dirt work, I'm pretty handy with a dozer and skidsteer.

Oh my goodness, I have been gone for quite awhile! Just thought Id say Hello to all and maybe explain my absence. I don't remember how long ago Its been so Ill just touch on the big things. I am out of the Army now, still miss it really bad and wish I could go back. Jan 2023 I was diagnosed with Cancer- although the best kind of cancer. Thyroid Cancer... Went through all the steps and finally got it removed and I have been clear ever since! May 2023 We lost our 39 week old daughter Brinley, She is in Heaven and Lord I cant wait to see her again! Aug 2023 I was in a BAD wreck. Got life flighted, almost died 3 times, I bleed out internally took 6 units of plasma and 6 units of blood (your body holds 8 if I'm not mistaken) broke my pelvis in half ( just think massive splits) broke all my ribs, multiple vertebra, had abdominal compartment syndrome, got sepsis due to a missed bowl perforation, they removed liters of puss and lots of other stuff out of me, and also had respiratory failure. Was in a wheelchair for some time, had to learn to walk again -weird feeling. Also suffered alot of head injuries and mental health issues. Oct 2024 We added another little boy to the family so now were up to 3 kiddos in the house! I worked for John Deere as a mechanic, was a Police Officer, a Firefighter, prior Military, and now at 36 I am permanently Disabled. So now I have tons of time on my hands! I'm back to as good as I'm gonna get, I tinker in the shop, do metal fab when I can, I do a lot of leather work too. I just got another 2nd gen truck that Ill be posting about too. Happy to be back and look forward to learning more and asking tons of questions!!! 😁 PS: I still HAVE NOT figured out this dang Quadzilla and tuning (years.....) !!!! 🥺🤬😤🤣🤣🤣

Have you checked for play in the shaft? Up/down & in/out Any visible grooves in housings, fins look OK, etc. I'm kinda leaning more towards a possible exhaust leak of some sort from from your card on a bicycle reference. Sounds are hard to describe and without hearing them, they can be perceived differently.

When you say rotating the turbo, are you meaning that you loosened the bolts on the turbine side and rotated the bearing housing? You can clean the gasket off by not removing turbo or clocking it. It will take time and patience but it will work. Sure taking the turbo off is easier, depends on what your doing to justify the work, additional time, and gaskets/seals. When you replaced your drain line gasket, I assume that is the only line you replaced, did you oil the turbo from oil feed side before startup? Same applies if you replaced the oil feed line too. Every time I do a drain line or supply line I make it a habit to pre oil the turbo bearings or bad things can happen. It could be that a manifold gasket is not properly centered and has an exhaust leak...

I'm the same 3.99 in Fair Grove, MO. Prolly cheaper in Springfield...

The NV5600 is not hard to rebuild, a bit clumsy to do, its completely different than the NV4500. I think it could just be the syncros and fluid from the past life. I have one of the best parts places for these transmissions here in my home town. Let me know if you need anything, and their super cheap (last time I checked).

What was exactly broken in it? There's not much to those t-cases and fairly easy to rebuild and cheap...

You could even put your own pop rivets in there. Wouldn't hurt, small and easy to do. And bolts work too as previously mentioned.

I'm in the same boat. Need entire cable setup, Then a second big bright light to tell me brake is still on lol.

I like it, done this on multiple trucks. Very nice, run it!

I got one of the big draw straws that's further up the tank. Any how I fixed it so will see how it goes. Here's my little concoction Plugged the broke section with a little epoxy and a screw, not proud of it but it works. Snipped off the connector end, put some new hose on with clamps and wala. Not to bad, even had time to make a nice bracket to hold fill hose underbed.

Since I don't use my draw straw any more, would that be a good place to return? It's pipe thread ready for a nipple...

Well I'm gonna have to splice mine in this evening somehow. I was messing with the fitting just to make sure again it was connected. Then we'll, you know, it snapped off... Guess I'll try and seal the broke end on the unit with jb weld or epoxy. Then put a nipple into the fass return tee into the fill tube.
