    10 bolt gov lock help

    I would toss that unit and put in an electric selectable unit. You can get the proper spider gears from GM but they are around 400.00 and for that much cash you might as well get something good. On a side note if you are not changing the gears you most likely will only have to set back lash...

    I won a prize

    I found a hobby shop that deals with these cars and I bought some new bodies so that I don't ruin the Snap on bodies. I see that I could spend a lot of cash in that store. They have some cool stuff and prices to go along with the cool factor.

    I won a prize

    They only get to play with them while I am playing with them. I retained ownership because they will destroy them in a day if left alone.

    New Tool for hoses.

    That looks eerily similar to what the IRS uses to find more money from tax payers.

    strange growl

    Without hearing the noise I would suspect pinion bearings. Can you grab the drive shaft and get any movement or play out of it? It could also be a wheel bearing. If you can jack up the axle and turn ice wheels by hand you may be able to feel or hear a rough bearing You may also pull the diff...

    kobalt tools

    That is a bummer. I have been dealing with my dealer for many years and he has always been a stand up guy. Of course. We also have Mac, Matco, and Cornwell dealers making the rounds as well so there is competition and incentive to treat customers good.

    kobalt tools

    There are quality tools to be purchased everywhere at every price point. What I am paying for when I buy tools off the Snap-On truck is service. In the rare instance that I break a tool I know that my dealer will come to me and replace that tool. I don't have to take time out of my day to go and...

    What are your thoughts

    Mechanically the truck is solid. After sitting for 4 years all I did was put in a new battery and pour a little fuel in the carb, pumped the pedal a couple of times and it fired right up. No lifter ticking just a little blue smoke that cleared once it warmed up. I drove it around for a little...
