  1. Thanks for the quick response!-) Back to wrenchin'
  2. Finally got around to replacing my exhaust studs (welded nuts onto broken studs and they came right out!-) Now I can't find my manual to look up min/max torque specs of the studs so I can put the thorleys back on. Thanks! Mike
  3. You also need something to weld to!-) Boxed mine with mostly 1/4"
  4. thanks Jim! (Just after I scraped the url off for being bad...)
  5. Or go with the Xtra heavy duty!-) Calmini steering may as well fix it GOOD!-) who is sleeping with grasshopper 4x4 and flamin' Calmini? Things are startin' to make sense now

    Temp Issues

    Neither of my pathies ever heated up on its own I put a piece of cardboard over 3/4's of the radiator and I have heat but the truck never gets too hot. 5W-30 is what I run in the winter a reverse flush for coolant, use regular water as it all comes out anyways. How did you get 19 gallons in the tank? 16 gallon/270 = 16.8 mpg I wish I could get that or close to it! Guess I shouldn't have added 500lbs of metal?-)
  7. Yep I got locked out a couple times, now I roll the window down (& have a spare key in bumper & Wallet) Was 10 below and I had to run out and unlock the gate at work on a Saturday as we were getting shipments (I was there alone) Doors locked as I got out to open the gate... Doors at work auto-lock also... And not a good time to have my sandles on. Going to give that fix a try (both my pathies do it so I guess I try it on the spare first!-)
  8. high output alternator Mean Green has been around for many years
  9. You sure it's lifters and not the exhaust manifold?
  10. when I run my 33/12.5's I have the same issues; 31/10.5's no issues. Due to all the snow/ice the roads are heaving a bit and with the crap on the roads it will pull alot. (steering stabilizer would help "roaming" effect) have yet to put mine on; had it in the garage for almost 3 years now... When was your last front end alignment? if you adjusted torsion bars etc it could just need an alignment. You choose a school yet?
  11. Blue top is a starting/deepcell (used one in my pathy all winter last year and it started in 20 below without an issue) Still had high CCA; I screw the winch right to the secondary top post (not the sideposts that could melt out when a winch is connected;-) separator link
  12. Is it falling in and out of overdrive? (3 speed with overdrive) or between 2nd & 3rd? What sized tire size are you running? Did you install an aftermarket cooler yet? (you should bypass the stock cooler)
  13. Take one for me! Work is suckin' today and just found out the company I work for has been sold...
