that makes me think even more it's coming from somewhere else.. check around valve covers.. look straight above or a bit towards the front of the location where you're finding oil.. if there is any above any diff gaskets then it's somewhere above..

tick, tick is your exhaust manifold leaking.. if the fluid doesn't smell strong it's probably not the differential.. look harder to make sure.. the fluid should either be honey like or black (like very used motor oil) and smelling very strong..

don't think so on the shocks.. i think there are 4 O2 sensors on your truck.. at least 2... maybe it's time for a tune-up?

i think that's basically it (see below though)(no wheel at first.. it only gets in the way - it's a bit of a hassle) also observe the little wheel's direction of turning to make it spread out before you put the drum back on.. they are self adjusting from then on.. when you are done back up and brake semi suddenly (that's how they adjust) definately use brake cleaner of some kind (non chlor. is good) don't loose any of the springs, washers, etc.. do one wheel at a time so you have a backup reference, just in case... i tend to use a pair of pliers on the whole thing.. vice grips grab nicely the large springs which ican a bit of a pita to get on and off.. but not too bad.. take your time and enjoy.. you're saving over $50... (from above: you might as well check other components while you're there... CL, TREs, BJs all 3 for looseness, CV boots for tears, if the locking hubs haven't been serviced in a while do that, same for bearings.. )

wow, i wish, i get barely 14 most of the time..

dad needs to quit that... lol

1. not adjusted properly 2. when the shoes are on and the drum is too you have to adjust them via a little hole in the back by spinning the little wheel w/ screw driver; make it almost snug

Your guess is as good as mine, I checked the rad and everything looked fine. Coolant levels good. Temp gauge good. huh? you used those words not 88.. so what do you mean by steaming?

tighter

i went to a junk yard got glass for 50 and then had it installed by a glass place for like 35 or something like that..

fuse?

the above is my guess here too.. it could be fulel related also, check fuel filter.. had that happen on a domestic truck long ago..

if you didn't hear any horrid banging from the engine when it died maybe it was something else.. dunno.. it could be almost anything

ouch.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

yeah, i really like the ones i have so have at'em...

yeah that's the way i understand it.. starters in big rigs are as expensive as some of the trucks here.. plus big riggers live in their rigs and need power for microwaves, tvs, toys.. ahem construction equiment tends to be diesel also and it runs from 7am-till end of day.. also to start a diesel you have to compress the fuel hard when we gassers get help from the spark.. it's kind of like starting in gear (manual) all the time... that'd wear your starter fast..

the hot one? i am thinking of doing this too but i think i'll run a whole new wire all the way there..

lol. do take k9's advice.. hehehe it's a bit of a pita and i don't think i actually got it all apart but just opened it enough to get the vac hose in there and suck it all out.. look at the box and then start disassebly.. things probably had changed between our years but i had to pull the passenger foot pannell (just forard of the door) and then work my way around all those tight spaces and take out the screws and such untill i unboud it enough to pull away.. to totaly open it up one may have to remove the dash, or at least do way more disassembly.. if you have your windows up then i'd suggest you open the air to fresh air while you're in the truck.. it's not the healthiest otherwise..

i didn't look at the schematic but i doubt it goes to the fuel pump.. look again but my guess is that it goes to the ignition or the ecu or some place like that..

maybe you should show off the pathy eh?

... then it promptly returns to chew another hole..

didn't even read the other one.. maybe title it a bit differently..

clear lenses or something?
