Could really use some help - Engine knock
Just look for sellers on eBay with something of a reputation no lower than 99 but preferably 100. Also look for ones with higher review counts as well. Tells you they've been around a while and do good. Some people are on their and have storefront business but they are trying to reach further by doing internet sales. Warranty work is different, eBay gives you Some protection but not over a long duration. That one is a gamble, but that's why I said look for those criteria.

Blue book the truck, because 10k for a rebuild is more than I could ever ask out of my whole truck. Your better off trying to diy it if you insist in keeping it or parting it out. For the heck of it I just saw this: https://spokane.craigslist.org/ptd/5408111747.html

What about bad fuel? Cetane numbers being out of whack?

Yea, I wonder if you messed up the ecm or vp44 running the truck dead. Did you charge the batteries instead of using the alternator to do the work? I know you mentioned that they were charged, but how.

Oscillating chirp noise
I have a CAD. I didn't realize the front shaft had a slip yoke. Anyone know what u joint is most likely to go out in the front? Having trouble narrowing it down to what type I have in the shafts in the front. The local parts store wasn't very helpful. Is the double cardan unit hard to pull apart if they are the culprit?

It only makes the noise While in 4wd. Iirc, the front prop shaft doesn't spin in 2wd right?

I'm thinking it might be a u joint in the front driveshaft. Went on rock auto and I'm overwhelmed with the selection of I joints to choose from. Which joints?

Oscillating chirp noise
So driving home, I was in 4wd from our recent snowfall. Half way home suddenly I start hearing a chirp noise. It's oscillating as well. It Will make the noise going down hill but mostly When under load. If I take it out of 4wd, it Will fade away... What is it? Can I still use my 4wd?

Technology has changed when it comes to crashes. Remember, the old adage of steel behind you. But now the focus is on how to divert the kinetic energy of the crash around you. No longer relying on just cold steel to prevent damage. By employing crush points, a vehicle in essence can be crushed all around you to take up the energy from the crash. That's why you get to use a can opener more often now. A vehicle is going to be totaled more often then not now because of this very reason.

Yea, I don't know a whole lot about the therapy, but it'd be worth trying if nothing else works. Maybe someone can get his attention for me.

Thankfully our governor of idaho said he would refuse to prosecute anybody for killing wolves in the state of idaho for any reason.

Shocking video about Rev 18:2
A few things about that video: 1: I do not believe in the statement he made stating that the Catholic church is the true church of God. Many churches make that statement such as the seventh day Adventists and Jehovah's witnesses. Christ says in the New testament that you are to serve with all your heart and mind. We are to also love one another as ourselves. Apart From that it also States that whoever believes in him shall have eternal life. Not wishing anyone to perish but have everlasting life. God made salvation easy so it could Be possible for us to receive it. I cannot believe anyone when they state that unless a person is adherent to a certain church salvation Is not possible! 2: remember that the word is alive. The word is God. Therefore people tend to forget that when they study on scripture, they're going to come up with a different conclusion than others. Why? Because the word Is alive. It speaks to us differently each time. These are called duality in scripture. I have experienced it Many times. 3: finally Be of sober mind and keep your eyes to the sky as our redemption draws near! Don't consume yourself with trying to know the times and places of things. Yes let the word and God speak to you and blessed are we that study revelation. But don't rely on man to tell you These things. God Will speak to you when It's right and Will guide you. Don't Be afraid as he's with us and we've already won the battle! We are going to see some very strange and seemingly scary things but God It's in control. Keep your Faith.

That video makes me sick to my stomach every time. From what I recall, it was a whole family in that accident and they all died.

- All i want for Christmas..
Ever since I became a beekeeper I've been thinking about living in a warmer place. It kills me not being able to see my bees for half the year! I hope to put a basement in someday. When I bought the place the engineer told me the roof was rated for 40lbs a sq foot. I could get allot off snow and not need to worry. I'm in a valley and little clay as well, so drainage is good and I'm over a big aquifer, so I won't Ever need to worry about my well drying up! The 5th wheel on the other hand,i I've already shoveled a foot off it! Time to go plow!- All i want for Christmas..
Is for the power to stay on! With the amount of snowfall we've seen lately, our total accumulation has seemed to reach about two feet by now. In doing so, we've lost power literally 6 times or more in the past few days. I just lost power again. Heres to hoping the Christmas dinner Will go good tonight! Don't want to get caught without power in the middle I making a big dinner! Many times already, on the way home from work, I've Had to cut trees out of the road just to get home. It's never a dull moment around here..- Wasn't me!
Looks like it May have worked out better for everyone lol. Brother in law wanted a New truck anyways.- Wasn't me!
Glad to see it's not just me that can't drive a Mazda! My mother in law did this one. Thank you God that she came out good. Just bruising in rib area from colliding into console. Fire/ems wasn't going to come out initially but I called them and told them I wanted her checked out. We got to looking at the tire marks, she's very fortunate to not have had a worse situation. If she was going Any slower or went off sooner, she would have ended upside down in that creek. I guess I don't need to worry about putting the replacement parts on now. Truck is more than likely totaled. Water got into the cab and obviously engine bay. Passenger side not looking hot... What a night...- Running lights won't turn off?
Haha, it won't do any good. I can't read a wiring diagram to save My life. I believe this circuit is completely independent of anything anyways. At least I think... The trailer shop I had wire it up has a fused line directly connected to the battery. Just need to take some time to track it down. Dunno what I'm going to find though, nor what to look for.- Heated mirrors working?
My towc mirrors do not have the emblem that I can see. But I do have the switch for it at the hvac controls. Are my mirrors just non heated tow mirrors?- Dangerous times?!
You know what this means Mike... Were on the same page about the future times we Will face.- My fellow wood burners!
Hahaha... Good one. I recently brushed the flue out, didn't get much to come out despite burning less seasoned wood. I was pretty happy about that. Been burning a wheelbarrow full every two days. I just picked up a pallet load of north idaho energy logs Wednesday and stuck a couple in the stove with some wood last night. Wow Is all I can say. Got home with the house at 56 and a couple hours later before going to bed the thermostat was at 64. I also found out my fresh air kit is possibly connected to some ducting. Hoping it's not to the house ducting.. - All i want for Christmas..
