    How to properly remove a cab without damage

    I stole these pics for a cab lift to go on a cherry picker. Notice it's adjustable for width ,the angle iron ends set in the door openings keeping it from sliding. If I was trying to use a bucket and tractor,I think I'd use angle in the door openings just like this but as long as would fit in...

    The More You Know. . .

    An electric choke opens via heat from an electric element. It closes by tension on a spring which losses tension as it heats.you don't need engine heat to open your choke. As for how to power it there are 5 ways I can think of but only 2 I'd actually want to use. 1 is a 4 prong relay...

    Ignition problems

    I wouldn't mess with the key and tumbler(I dont see an issue). I also am lazy So I'd buy an electrical part of the ignition switch. Next time it fails I'd push the original electrical part into crank mode with a screwdriver. If that works order and change the rack,(the rack isnt moving the...

    Steering does not self center.

    Reason I asked ball joints or control arms,was wanted know if the control arm shafts had been removed,sounds like they have,if the shims weren't put back in the right spots caster and camber will be wrong,not enough caster and the wheel doesn't return. But if it was aligned in the past with worn...

    87 V10 damaged transmission and transfer case

    Pic of where the transmission is broken please. As for swapping transmission internals yep.Its a fairly easy process,buy another good case clean it good. Get a manual and disassemble, reassemble in the new case. You won't have to mess with any clutch packs so should be pretty easy. The bad is...

    Ignition problems

    One of the legs on it cracks,then it flexes and doesn't move the ignition switch through it's range of motion gets hung on things etc,so you have to try and try and play with it until you get lucky,but soon the other leg breaks then there is no more getting lucky. As you see it is geared to the...

    Steering does not self center.

    Have you messed with the steering box if not don't yet. If it is a new problem after installing new components,I'd be looking at what has changed. Has it been aligned after all this work was done? Upper and lower? Are you talking control arms or ball joints?

    Mech Pump Inlet vs outlet

    One closest to frame rail should be inlet. You should put more details in your posts. Like what you are working on,what manufacturer of part,what engine etc. But thank you for the pic it made it easy.

    Snap ons tool warranty spells out warranted to original purchaser only,warranty cannot be transfered. It also spells out warrantied against defects and specifically says no warranty on tools subjected to abnormal use. A little touchy is where it states the warranty does not cover wear from...

    V2500 4in lift replacement? ORD?

    You aren't supposed to start adjusting the box with the sector lash adjuster. You are supposed to set the worm gear thrust from the front of the box. If the gear is moving forward and back when you turn the wheel it's not turning the pitman arm during that time. That's what was going on with the...

    TH350 Stuck

    Are you sure the parking pawl is disengaging.Put the drive shaft back in the transmission and try to rock it clockwise counter clockwise,see if it rocks if it rocks I'd assume the parking pawl is not disengaging. If it doesn't rock, I'd assume the heat caused it to sieze something. I'd tag Nick...

    TH350 Stuck

    How bout we find out why it's not coming out of park,which is what this was all aboutin the first place,he got side tracked by what he found in the pan. He needs to go back to seeing if the rooster comb and the linkage on the side of the transmission move in unison and without slop. Inspect the...

    TH350 Stuck

    Did you run the transmission selector lever through it's range of motion? Slime in the pan is not keeping the parking pawl engaged.

    Can't get rid of play in the steering

    Okay,so now we know where the play is,make sure the shaft isn't slipping around inside the pitman arm,if it isn't,then you need a steering box. Did you say you adjusted this box? Did you follow the factory procedure I posted? Just the little screw on top doesn't cut it. You have to set end...
