    Question Front end vibration....

    Well...... When I got home last night, the passenger side hub was so hot I couldn't touch it (:censored: caliper hanging up....). I had already picked up new rotors/pads so I got them changed last night. The pads looked nearly new (maybe 1/8th" worn compared to new) and the rotors looked to...

    Question Front end vibration....

    I thought that could be part of it, but the 'pulsating' is MUCH worse (probably unsafe...) than what is associated with the brakes. Also, if I stop the truck and back it up in a sharp turn the problem will sometimes clear up for a while. It also doesn't happen when the truck is cold. After I...

    Question Front end vibration....

    Ok, here's my latest issue.... Truck - 2000 F350 Superduty Crew 4x4 manual tranny My front rotors have been warped for a while now and I have just been putting off getting them turned/replaced. Just in the last 4-5 days though, the truck has developed a pulsating like what the rotors...

    Help Needed 4x4 issues....

    After all the headache, I am beginning to believe it is just a quirk of the truck... The truck is a crew cab long bed and I think it is binding up just because of the loooooong wheelbase. I came to this conclusion because it doesn't bind up unless the t-case is engaged. If it was an axle...

    Help Needed 4x4 issues....

    I just bought it used from Kendall this spring. About a month after I got it, I found the 4x4 wasn't working (dealer wouldn't fix it.....) and it ended up being one of the hubs had been taken apart and put back together wrong. I fixed that and then noticed how rough the 4x4 was. Maybe since...

    Help Needed 4x4 issues....

    No, I haven't opened it up yet. The weather cleared up and now I will probably forget about it until the next dump :doh:. I have manual locking hubs and have been running with them in the lock position even though I'm in 2wd simply because I'm lazy and want to be able to throw it into 4x4...

    Help Needed 4x4 issues....

    I have a 2000 F350 4x4 PSD with a 6spd manual. Yesterday was pretty snowy and slick so I was running in 4wd. I noticed when turning I was getting a LOT of chatter out of the front end. I know this is normal to some degree because of the different turning radius, but this was to the point of...

    Help Needed Stray Dog Remedies/Solutions

    My dad rigged up his fenced in yard as a "live trap" one time and it worked quite well. He rigged a small rope to the gate through some eye bolts so when pulled it would shut the gate (latched automatically). He then routed the rope back into the yard and tied a piece of meat to it. The stray...

    Thinking of trading in your diesel on gas??

    I just can't bring myself to drive one of those 40mpg rice rockets simply because of the safety issues. I had a Dodge 2500 Cummins last year and was in a wreck in April where a kid lost control of his Expedition and came into my lane sideways. I T-boned him and spun him into the ditch where he...

    What are you paying for fuel now?

    Crumm....your fuel up there is cheaper than down here in the valley! Wasilla is still paying $4.25. I did find a station on the Parks that has the old LSD for about $.40/gal cheaper though (not the off road stuff, taxed for hwy use)! ;tu

    lots of white smoke/turbo maybe??

    Thats a bunch of bull that they make the employee pay for it... Yeah he screwed up, but $1,600 probably is a paycheck for the guy! :bs:smack

    Question Starting issues....

    Update... Today I was able to go to the dealer (intending on buying a set of glow plugs). I walked into service to ask about troubleshooting the glow plug relay and was explaining the problem when a mechanic who was eating his lunch overheard the symptoms. He asked if the truck was there...
