    Smoke from dipstick tube

    Howdy All, Just when I thought everything was going fine I see smoke coming out of my dipstick tube. Have I just missed this all of the years I have owned my truck or is this indicative of something else going wrong? Thanks, Craig

    What in the heck!?!?!?!?!?!

    The jack stand was still there, I took the handle off of the jack and put it in the garage with the tire. If the floor jack had been the only thing lowered I would have just thought that I hadn't done a good job making sure it was twisted into the hold position. But with the jack stand lowered...

    What in the heck!?!?!?!?!?!

    So I come out to finish working on my truck this morning and I find it sitting with the driver side 1" off of the ground! At first I thought that the floor jack had collapsed. That thought was quickly followed by "where is the jack stand I had under the truck?" The following pictures show...

    Oil Cooler update

    Hey Crumm, Trust me the over spray does nothing but enhance the bed of the truck, and covers some rust. This truck had been used for construction work prior to me going to nursing school. In May I get a slotted V-neck tail gate. It's kind of nice to have it as an additional "work...

    Oil Cooler update

    Howdy All, Well I got the oil cooler put back together and bolted into place. I fired it up and let it run for about 5 minutes. There was no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil. If it was going to mix it would have done so pretty quickly right? All in all it was not a bad...

    Oil Cooler Problem!!!!

    Hey Geonc, Thanks for the heads up, I will be careful. It came out without too much hassle, God willing it will go back in the same way. I don't know where the RTV worms came from but it makes me glad that I am also installing a coolant filter while I have everything drained. Take Care, Craig

    Oil Cooler Problem!!!!

    Howdy all, Well I got the oil cooler out of the truck without too much of a problem. However, now my problem is how do I get the end caps off? I have a breakdown of all of the individual parts of the cooler but there is no description in my Haynes diesel manual for "tear down and...

    Opinions on engine rebuild

    Hey Don, The oil is coming from my oil cooler, I bought a re-build kit (seals & o-rings) and hope to pull it apart this weekend and repair it. While I am at it, I plan on putting on my coolant filter. Craig

    Have you been to this site before?

    Hey BushPilot, I have to agree with you. For 230K I want some serious space. I like the Earth-Roamer but that is a lot of money for a 4X4 camper. Craig

    Price of Diesel?

    I was in Waco over the weekend, the low I saw was 2.68 the high 2.74. Here in Dallas (in my area) 2.69 - 2.94. The 2.94 is at the Shell station at Ferndale and N.W. Highway. That guy must think his stuff is gold because he always runs way higher than any of the stations that carry it close to...

    Tool Box locks

    Howdy All, The factory locking mechanism on my tool box (Delta I think) is shot. I was planning to put a pad lock on it and wondered how some of y'all who have done this did it. I bought some hardware at Lowe's today but before I do anything I'd like to see y'alls set up. Thanks, Craig

    Police officers

    Not that this makes it any better but we just heard that at least he didn't have any kids to leave behind. As an R.N. I can honestly say I am glad that I don't have to worry about giving care (I am at a different hospital) to that Freakin' waste of space who killed Officer Nix. God forbid I...
