    Nv4500 teardown and rebuild

    I rebuilt my NV4500 about 5 years ago. Used a manual from 4x4repairmanuals.com. It was one of the easiest rebuilds I have ever done. The manual was very detailed and step by step. If I had it to do over, I would have used gaskets and gasket adhesive instead of Permatex black RTV on the gasket...

    Steering gear rebuild - FAIL

    I'm a little late responding to this but, if you haven't replaced your pump yet, just rebuild it yourself. If you can rebuild a steering gearbox, this will be a piece of cake for you. Rock Auto has a good rebuild kit, and you don't need any special tools. Just one seal and a bunch of o-rings.

    Glove box issue

    You're on the right track. You already got the hard part, it took me a while to figure out the latch. Looks like you're just a little crooked, it may be pinched. Mine slid right out, although it was tight

    Machine gun noise when accelerate then a backfire occasionally

    Believe it or not, my 94 dually was doing the very same thing. My 454 would hammer like that then start back firing after it had been running a while. Couple times the engine died and wouldn't restart until I let it cool down, then it would start right back up. Took me a while to chase down the...

    Hey everyone , I'm new here and hope to be around a long while

    Welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing you picks. High in the sky is the way I like my square body. Here's a pick of my old bog truck with Rockwell 2 1/2 tons, 48" flotations, and 15" of lift

    Seat Belt Question

    Did they fit your original mounting locations and fasteners? Or did you have to order mounting brackets?

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    I feel you young man, you're exactly where I was at in 1989, trying to pay for my 78 on a Burger King salary! So here are some of the tips I learned the hard way. First, if you have any leaks, fix them. If oil can get out, water and mud can get in. Make sure ALL of your vent hoses are clear, and...

    14 bolt axle tubes are… coming out????!

    Should have added I cut the plug welds out with an end mill in a Bridgeport mill. I did this to change the pinion angle on my rear end due to running a 12" suspension lift and trying to improve the drive shaft angle. It was a bad idea, I went to far and changed from having u-joint problems to...

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    You have received a lot of good comments, so I guess I'll put my 2 cents in. I have run everything from 35" Haugs on 1/2 tons, to 44" Gateway Gumbo's on ton, to 48" Goodyear flotations on Rockwells, and can tell you it really just depends on what you will be doing with the truck. You said you...

    14 bolt axle tubes are… coming out????!

    You're right, they're a press fit, but not a very tight press fit, hence the seepage. Maybe size for size, I was able to push my tubes out with a 4 ton Porta-Power. Anyway, can you tell me what rod or wire you used? Did you have to heat the casting up before welding it? I assume you have been...

    14 bolt axle tubes are… coming out????!

    AuroraGirl, I suggest marking the axle tube and the pumpkin with a sharpie or scratch it with an awl, drive it and see if there's any movement. It does appear from your pictures that there may be a little oil seepage around the plug welds and maybe at the axle tube. There's very little chance...

    removing rear leaf packs eyebolts and U bolts without a torch

    Bucket is right, if you don't have a torch you will need a Sawzall and some good blades. The Diablo are good blades, I have had good luck with the Milwaukee Torch blades too. The problem you are going to have is at the front spring eye bolt. If you can get the bolt to move at all, the nut...

    Help with Drum Brakes

    Is that a semi floating 14 bolt rear? The cables sure look like my 14 bolt full. Do you have hubs sticking out of the wheels with bolts in them? If it is a full floater, I would say you will not be able to use those existing cables. In the picture of the drivers side bracket you can see there is...

    Help with Drum Brakes

    That 2 bolt plate on mine is just a cover or guard. My cables are the push in design that snaps into the backing plate, and the rear end is a 75. Are the 2 bolt covers missing and you can see it bolts in? I've never seen a bolt in design

    Setting a cab on jack stands

    Now I understand what you're doing. In my opinion you are being a little over cautious, but that doesn't hurt anything, always better to be over cautious! The dolly you built looks more than sufficient. The dolly I used was nothing more than a cheap wood movers dolly with 2 x 4s laying flat...

    Setting a cab on jack stands

    Any reason you can't put your jack stands at your body mount holes? I wouldn't trust the rockers to support the cab and not bend

    Wiring 'factory' gauges 'directly'???

    Yes, you are on the right track. I did this very same thing back in the early 90's when my printed circuit board shorted out. I had purchased a Sun gauge pack with a wet oil pressure and water temp gauges. I didn't want working gauges mounted externally somewhere in the cab and dead gauges in...

    My 1976 GMC K20

    35's are where I started. Just don't get hooked on 4 wheeling like I did. First I broke my 1/2 ton stuff, so I went to 3/4. Got sick of breaking 3/4 ton stuff, and went to 2 1/2 ton Rockwells. Broke those too. Now I've gotten smart as I've gotten older, and going back to my 3/4 ton stuff and...

    My 1976 GMC K20

    Nice! A 3/4 ton will easily handle 35's. You can go 38's or even 39.5's if your not too rough with it. Not sure if Washington has lift laws

    My 1976 GMC K20

    You got a sweet truck there! Looks like a Camper Special, good bones. You have any plans for it other than body work?

    Electrical issue.

    I always start with grounds. A loose ground is usually what causes multiple items on different circuits to fail

    3 port fuel tank selector valve

    I got mine from Rock Auto. I had to do some rewiring to make it work

    3 port fuel tank selector valve

    All of these 3 port universal solenoids I have found have been for 5/16 hose. I found one from Summit that was listed as 3/8, but when I got it, it was also 5/16. I had to go to a 6 port, then just capped off the unused ports.

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    I think you have taken care of any air issues you had, if the squealing has gone away and no more bubbles. Is your brake pedal real loose, sloppy?

    master cyl leaking !

    Have you raised all 4 corners and made sure the wheels are turning freely? It may be a brake sticking
