    quick ? about my U-joints

    it turns out that the NVG246 case has a history of developing leaks in the case. i'm dumping Auto Trak fluid all over the West Valley. i'll keep milking it until it goes out. maybe i can make it to next tax (refund) season.

    quick ? about my U-joints

    lol ok- lots of opinions on the cover, which is cool, but one vote for the nylon u-joints. i have another car, so i can take the diff cover off and if it looks too far gone, i can get around till i get another. Atomic- the truck is in AZ. i think it came from OR or WA, but for the most part...

    quick ? about my U-joints

    unless its 1/4 thick, i don't know if it would survive a cleaning. the rust is very deep. like i said, the picture doesn't do it much justice. my question about the joints was, are they the nylon-injected or the ones with the clips? how can i tell?

    quick ? about my U-joints

    i've never seen any more than mine, so i don't know what they look like. can someone tell me if i have the nylon-type? as you can see, my transfer case seal is due. got the seal and the new fluid, just need to find a minute to do it. and, while i am on the floor, check this out- time for a...

    wrecked the hoe...

    well, after paint, about $2400 in damage... i'm sure this is retail. i don't think i would be paying that with my discount.

    wrecked the hoe...

    i've been to 3 yards out here and NONE had any Tahoes or Suburbans. wtf? i really don't have the money to deal with it. i'm a single dad with 4 sons. that's what insurance is for.

    wrecked the hoe...

    nah, it was *ahem* my fault. i actually tried to call her today, but she didn't answer. strange- she hasn't answered calls from my insurance either. ---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ---------- i can't afford to do any mods on it right now. she needs...

    wrecked the hoe...

    I thought it was going to total, but, since I'm in the industry, I get a discount and that's probably the only thing keeping my truck on the road. basically, the car in front of me looked like it was going to roll the light that turned yellow. i went to follow her through and she decided to...

    wrecked the hoe...

    not too bad though. a little Mighty Putty and some water and it'll be like new. psgr side fender is wrinkled, too, but that picture's not working. i guess now would be a good time to do a nice aftermarket grille and lights, but the budget does not permit :(

    ok NOW i need some help

    No, it was seated all the way. Got the hold down deal on it, bolted it down. I don't know- it went back in the way it came out and it was still wrong.:shrug: Yeah, not looking forward to the whole 184 lb ft, nut stripping, knuckle busting, curse fest that might ensue. I wish I had a...

    ok NOW i need some help

    thanks! i think this is the toughest repair i was willing to make of the few things it needs. i think i will pay to have the idler and pitman arms replaced. i don't really feel like f'ing with those. it needs rear shocks, a transfer case seal (that i have the seal driver for), and maybe...

    ok NOW i need some help

    i know it better than i did, that's for sure

    ok NOW i need some help

    apparently, just because you put the distributor in the same way it came out doesn't mean it's right. i saw the video referred to in the other thread and saw how the distributor was connected to the oil pump. it got me to thinking. i checked the slot (no easy task, in the dark) and it was...

    ok NOW i need some help

    i found this thread while searching for other similar issues and this sounds very close to what i am experiencing. i didn't spend a whole lot of time on it tonight, but i think i got cylinder 1 at TDC. the line/mark on the crank pulley is lined up with the notch on the front cover and i...

    ok NOW i need some help

    i tugged on all the boots at the plugs and number 6 came off like nothing. i pushed it on and restarted the engine and now it runs worse than before. it won't stay running for more than 10 seconds before it dies. i'm going to take the distributor out again and double check that. i couldn't...

    ok NOW i need some help

    for evap? i don't remember there being too many vaccum lines involved, but i will check.

    ok NOW i need some help

    nope. it took a little work (and patience) but it went in exactly the way it came out. i did mark the the rotor to distributor and distributor to manifold. if i try to move it a single tooth, the rotor would be way off. the CEL is on, but i do not yet know what the codes are. it wouldn't...

    ok NOW i need some help

    i just quarduple-checked the plug wires this morning and they all seem to be run correctly. i checked most of the boots to see that they're seated and the ones i did check were ok. i was talking with a tech friend who suggested that since basically a full tune up was done that the timing may...
