Stuparman Losing a front steering tire at 70 MPH definitely qualifies as a BIG TIME oh sh!t moment, Then surviving it without a scratch, or totaling your truck, I'd say a thank you prayer to the big man upstairs just might be in order

Sorry for the VERY late reply, it's now been over 4 years since i just tied up my passenger side O2 sensor to keep water out of it, I'm happy to report after many off road trail drives with stream crossings, and lots of wet weather I've had zero problems with water staying inside that O2...

If people took the time to look at the upper left hand corner of the video Gordolordo posted it clearly shows that he is working with the HDJ81 engine,

When i use to work on aircraft fuel systems i used a special grease made to work around fuel without being dissolved, or washed away by contact with fuel, Below you'll find a link to where you can buy a 5 OZ tube of that fuel system grease...

The smart thing to do since you're already going to be dropping the trans pan, would be to go ahead and replace all the solenoids at once, The reason i say that, if you're having problems with one solenoid it's only a matter of time till you'll have problems with another one, So buy the...

I'd go with the stainless steel ones they won't rust The thing i don't care for with Helicoils, to install them they require a special oversized tap to cut new threads for the helicoil insert that can't be used for anything else, Next they need a special installation tool, Now granted those...

I used helicoils a lot when i machined aviation parts, but in my case i much prefer the use of E Z LOC thread inserts over helicoils, In the case of the OP transmission pan i would use a E Z LOC insert, They are easy to install, and are easy to remove and replaced if the threads get damaged...

They started out great when new, but as they got older they started to have problems with uneven tread wear on all 5 tires, Along with that issue, as they get older the rubber gets hard, and then they make LOTS of road noise as you drive down the highway, And before anyone asks, my alignment is...

This pass Sunday I'm checking out my local Craig's list adds for tools, and happen to come across a 15 inch Wilton drill press listed for only 100 bucks, On Monday i drive to the guys house that's selling the drill press to take a look at it, When i get there i can't believe what great shape...

The front hidden fairlead cover came with the winch when i bought it, sorry to say Ramsey no longer offers it for sale, As for the controls, i didn't like the plastic solenoid box that came with the winch, it was just to big so i made a more compact one out of aluminum sheet metal to house the...

For those wondering what a finished hidden roller fairlead setup would look like if they didn't use a Hawse fairlead

MrMacdugal, Looking at the photo of the aftermath of you changing those rear brake pads makes me realize how much i HATE RUST! That object laying on the ground that looks like a dirt clod, in another life use to be a brake caliper, I don't even want to try and imagine how much rust your going...

Another idea is to go to you're local Army surplus store and buy some used Nato fuel cans, They are the same can as the Wavian metal fuel can, but WAY LESS money, My local surplus shop sells them for 35 bucks a piece, Below are 2 photos of the swing out carrier i made that mount 2 surplus Nato...

Just a suggestion,"RTV/Silicone" doesn't play well with fuel, or fuel vapors, it will turn into a gooey jelly when exposed to fuel so i wouldn't use that to secure your cap In fact, I'd use a large hose clamp to secure the cap, that way you'll be able to easily remove the canister cap when the...
