You probably are hearing valve knock. If you havent had them adjusted, its probably due. Have them check at your next service....or before your next service. Change ur clutch plate and change spark plug. Clean carburater. check Gearbox problems if any......

Ya think that might be the problem? AZZHAT-LOOK AT THE PICS

Oh and BTW diesel engines don't have spark plugs.

Ask mommy to turn the computer off

can't make any time like this gota stop every 50 miles and look at pics.

and to make it worse im running out of socks!!!!!!

start using t-shirts

Thanks for the "heads up".

Should run on down to the clinic right quick.

Nice ride there.

Looks great as is, don't go adding lites and crap.

Truck like that-Less IS actually more

OUCH- what does cylinder look like?

Didn't break down? That is a surprise.

Now iff'n it did, THEN you can be like OD.

With a name like that, I'm sure the staff is very.....ummmm...... nice. Pics of waitreses would be nice also

Top picture-is that hole there for a reason? Thinking that a screw might go in there and the shaft has a notch that the screw goes thru. A reduntant feature to avoid steering wheel/shaft seperation.

VERY fortunate that it was caught before total seperation. Have heard of set of duals break away and travel off somewhere.

AND the front view

now the drooling can start

Not quite Rob's type, but we can start here

Mack Trucks to hire in October

Anyone want a job?

Can we use you as a reference?

Oh chubsy ubsy, if love was like a rose, I'd stick my nose in the mud-Little Rascals

Yup. She is already planning additional projects also for the out of doors such as a screenroom off the back door, a foyer for the front of the other house, a new back entrance for the other house also. The list keeps building. How am I supposed to work on trucks with this going down????

Rob

Permit delay, permit delay. Some red tape stuff regarding setbacks, yada,yada...

He's not too far off in a gasoline engine application. However, the information is completely inaccurate for a diesel engine which does not produce a vacume in the intake manifold. Actually the intake is open to atmosphere pressure at all times unless turbocharged. Then the manifold is pressurized upon engine operation by the turbocharger compressor section.

Any diesel engine in a chassis that uses hydraulic brakes has an auxilary vacume pump installed onto the engine to provide this vacume.

Rob

Thats why I asked.

A lopey cam is that which seems like it about to die and is common to hot rods. To run this cam you must have higher compression above 9:1. You wont be able to get everything from what you want.

The vacuum they speak of is efficiency of cam to produce vacuum in the intake plenum. The lack of vacuum is due to the lope of the cam and it causes sensors to not be able to provide correct fuel and also all your power brakes wont work properly.

HUH?

"Momma" wants to go to the lumber yard/home center to check on garden center items today as the is in the need of some plants and bushes to finish out the landscape around the house. She asks if I'd like to go also. "Well sure", as I think this would be a great time to get a few treated boards to replace the broken ones on the decks of both my trailers. Well, we get to our local "Menards" store and she heads off to do her thing, and I do mine. I catch back up with her about 1/2 hour later and she has on the cart not only a couple of bushes, (boxwoods) and some plants that I have no idea about, there is a sliding compound mitre saw, (a nice one too). Asking what that is for she tells me it's so I can finish the jobs I started about 12 years ago, (or so). Awww Geez, I hate when she hammers me like that cause the "Momma" has a mind like a steel trap that don't let go. I just get caught up in the shop and she goes and schedules my next two weeks of evenings for me.

We wound up getting out of there with about a mile of casing, base, brick mould, caulk, paint, perimeter weatherstrip for the garage door, and a new astragal seal.

Guess I better get good with the saw.

Rob

Measure twice-cut once

Y'all sit on the WRONG side of the truck. Shift with the WRONG hand, drive on the WRONG side of the road.

But them prime movers are badazz

It's gonna be a loooooooooong time before I see that.

But y'all up north can have it. Done my share of plowing

My member title is also updated now!

Mechanic vs technician is really related to the engine type. Mechanical engines were a straight forward machine. Listening to it, many "good' mechanics could diagnose the problem. And a couple things here and there to check and replace the proper part.

Now, with computerized units, the computer "should" diagnose the problem. BUT, to get the proper replacement. Many of you gentlemen here have told that the engine computer has to be re-flashed because a part was changed.

A $2.00 part was changed but the re-flash cost, what $300 or more.

But what do I know, I just stab it and steer it

Y'all pulling the axles too?

It's recommended that you put truck at an angle to fill valleys in axle housing. Leave it bout an hour each side. Then recheck level.

Never mind

Between the Ford truck thing and now this. I don't know if i want to hang out here much anymore.

LL where are you
