Wish i had a Jim L closer to me (Ga.) but i will settle for being able to read his posts/responces in helping me get things figuered out. If he was closer he would be getting a vist from my 710! There are two names on here that are the "go to" guys. When i have an issue/question i search t...

Ok guys some more info (but i still will not see the truck until this weekend) It had not rained until after the truck was on a rollback going down the road. So water would not be the problem. The fluid i saw the next morning was oil base. It was coming from BETWEEN THE BATTERY BOX AND THE FUEL TANK...

Driving down the hwy at 60ish mph and had to get on the brakes really hard to stop. Well after a few seconds of "wow glad i had the emergency" went to start off and it would barely move but would roll down hill just fine. You could feel it trying to go but best i could get was 2-5 mph in a...

I don't know why you would. If you can get the friction material, re-riveting new material on an existing shoe is pretty cheap done at a heavy truck brake place. I am always up for a challenge :) It would be another thing i could mark off my list of things i've done! or tried to do! lol I can get a...

Anyone ever tried to re-line there brake shoes? Thought i would try it on the rears to start. Any tips would be great! Which type of pad would you use: Low-Friction, Med-friction, High friction or Semimetallic? Anyone know how wide the pad (not shoe) is? trying to keep from removing the drum just to...

Anyone know where to purchase a wiper gear ? Thanks, Shawn

Well i hope i don't have a CRACK PIPE or even a pipe that FELL OFF! Damn that would be bad! Sry couldn't help myself. :lol: A problem with the oil sump pipe means i would not be lubricating the top end? Other words it sucks oil up or is a drain? How do i check to see which problem it is out of my th...

Thanks Dennis for the introduction to Fred. I have spent the last few hours watching and reading about the man. Good stuff!

Started off under heavy braking (lol) it would start smoking OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. Grayish color smoke very thick and would clear up in app 15 sec. The other day went to the store and going through the parking lot it did it without braking. Took a little longer for it to clear up app 30 sec. It's no...

Driving home last night from opening weekend Dove shoot and the same exhaust valve spring broke. It been 8k since I replace the last one. Any thoughts on why? Dennis, Jim ....ect

My rear door is custom being that the top half is alum / lexan. I wil...
