  1. 2500 m ??? How about doing it at 50 years old ?
  2. I believe you're right Paul. Reason I went to CR was cause of the anti lock brakes. Then after accumulating all the tools for them, I gave away all my Stemco tools. Your last line is often overlooked. Nothing has a chance of working if it's ruined from the word go.
  3. I'm serious. by then I'll be in my seventies. I'd like for common sense to make a come back before then, but there'll still be diesels lingering by then. Even if they are Howos.
  4. What's the worry ? By the time it happens ??? all of our Jazzys are already electric.
  5. Grit Guards don't work on as many things as they used to because of the exciter ring (tone wheel) for the anti-locks. The correct tool is a must though if using one. To add to Joey's mentioning the correct adaptor as per the seal's packaging, the adaptor is just big enough to fit over the spindle where the inner bearing goes. Then the contact surface that pushes the wear ring on is flat ( the wear ring has no choice but to go on straight ) . If you use the proper tooling (as Joey said) you won't end up with a wear ring like in the picture. Some guys would remove wear rings by driving a chisel into the wear surface. If it was hit hard enough it could nick the wear surface of the axle housing (spindle) or ??? if a previous failure grooved it up, that's where a coating of silicone or number 2 Permatex comes in for inside the wear ring. That picture looks like it was driven on with a punch or hammer. Now a days there's all sorts of wheel seals that don't require a installation tool of any kind. Then there's the adjusting the wheel bearings after determining if they're serviceable ......... whole other story. (like someone who would do that to a wear ring would put the wheeel bearing nuts on with a hammer and chisel too)
  6. Larry.....STD is never a good option
  7. What a nice looking R model
  8. An 11/22 is a 12/24.5. 11/24.5 will go right on yours' but you may need different spacers and wedges. An 11/24.5 will be a little smaller than a 11/22, and depending on manufacturer you may not even notice. !!!!! 22.5 is tubeless 20" and 24.5 is tubeless 22" !!!!! AND 24" tube type is a whole different animal all by itself. Confused yet ? (lol)
  9. You're ok Mech. If you pointed out a single disc pump..... well then I'd wonder
  10. That's a Small Cam in that truck. I see a compression release on there. Looks to be a 350 with the intercooler on it.
  11. Change to a Big Cam is a easy swap. After so many years, maybe it is by now ?
  12. If you're correct , then the shape that hood is in gives me a yard on . Lots of goodies on that truck still.
  13. But this bird brain is going for the pre puberty girl look. What kinda creeps think that should be celebrated let alone encouraged ? It's really strange .
  14. Thing I don't get, yeah the guy's a fruit cake and all , but he's trying to look like a little girl. Who in their right mind finds anything attractive about that. It's really weird.
  15. Proof biden's economic plan is working.....it's no joke. Between that and the budweiser thing, at least drinking is down.......or maybe more people are just going straight to fentanyl
  16. He'd have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling folks Zikes
  17. Buy a truck..... you'll get cranky pretty fast
  18. Happy birthday Jojo. More proof the cool guys are born in April.
  19. Just a touch of air in it, and WD40. A Dayton you need a couple 2 X 4 to get the rim off the floor.
  20. A bicycle tube lubed up with a little air in it in the gap on the side you mount it from, take the valve out of the stem on the rim you're putting the tire on and as it airs up it squirts the tube right out as the bead comes up. Not dangerous or anything. If you get the hang of it it works pretty good. Tubes come in 20" and 24" . Done hundreds of them that way over the years until I snagged one of those rings with the holes in it and the air.
  21. You can use a bicycle tube.
  22. He might think it's 8 cents......8 eigh. What a moron
  23. Truck tires are way easier to mount and dismount than car tires. Sounds dumb, but I think they're way easier. Tubeless ones anyway.
  24. Are they tubeless ?
