    Waen 2990 manual lockong hubs

    Yeah I rewarched the video, you can see the grease from the inside of the warn hub kinda splooge out. That's basically how mine looked at the end. Maybe more? Hard to compare. I'll need to dig it out. Got hit by 8 inches of snow!

    Waen 2990 manual lockong hubs

    Yeah, i basically mirrored what vortex garage did on his video I didn't pack the entire hub no. Hard to explain i guess. Yes,packed bearings, and put some on spindle shaft. See this is where I'm confused they come pre greased. And you just dropped list of all sorts of other lubricants. I...

    Taillights harness broken

    Never considered mice. I've seen a few running out but not enough to even entertain that as a possibility. So coz we have an outdoor cat that roams in our land. But...I guess anything is possible!?

    Taillights harness broken

    That's what i did i was gonna cut out the poopy part and spkoce there. But it was so dry and crispy everytime I'd try to separate the 4 wires into individuals or would just break. Luckily i got a 25 ft reel for 50 canuck bucks. About 20 usd. Lol Not difficult labour wise, just following the...

    Garage upgrade

    Been manually lifting the 12 x 12 shop door and pulling a rope to close it for 10 years or so. Kinda a PITA coming and going but I was too cheap to pay for a door opener just for convenience as physically I had no problem raising and lowering it. Then last weekend we pulled up in the Blazer and...

    Flip up wipers arms?

    I'm bringing up this post from the grave a bit. Auroragirl mentions the jeep wiper splines fit. Also, @AuroraGirl , in your picture the ?Ford? Wipers do look bigger, but don't appear to interefere, unless the picture is misleading. I've got the bayonet arms on my 82 burb, and if you look at...

I believe the block heater works when I changed my syarter last year I could hear the heater kinda ticking away. Injectors aren't bad to do ive got limited tools and am working...

    Glow plugs half work

    @ByrdDog , That's a common complaint with these old Detroit. 6.2 and 6.5 get all the hate. Truth be told mines loyal. Low power. Take forever to warm up. Bla bla bla. I love mine. Sure it's not fast, but I don't give a hoot. As far as compression, I dunno. I dont have all the history on the...

    @legopnuematic Lol zip ties n bias plies, get out of here. I am literally watching his channel as we speak. That guy can keep his junk going. Then again he's got a lot of spare parts. And a lot of spare engine, trucks, etc.... I don't. But yeah I watched that slave lake episode where he gets...

    Glow plugs half work

    @77Dmax I thought it would. Old smoke n rattle and shake. And the good side only had 3 good ones. Sure i could've switched one out n all. But I'd rather it work properly....ish. Its been on average -10 maybe a bit colder with wind chill. -13 celsius so... 8 or 9 Fahrenheit. I had a smart...

    Glow plugs half work

    I don't like using any starting aids. Ether, brake kleen, magic. I was desperate just hear it chug. I didn't know GPs were that crucial to ots starting.. I had it plugged in. Battery booster. Treated her nice etc etc... And it's now started. I dunno about stock but. The pink n blue wire...

    Glow plugs half work

    Oh never mind. Now there's no voltage or amperage on passenger side. Just dandy. Something is real screwy. I'm gonna triple check the fusible link again
