    Pinion Seal Adventure - Bad Superseded Part

    The other day, when I went to replace my rear brake pads, I found oil *everywhere* under the back of the truck. Complete mess. Seems to be the pinion seal. I dumped a quart of gear oil into the diff and it didn't fill it. I just got back from about a 3000 mile road trip in the truck. No...

    Hi folks, The Spring reservations for Canyonlands opened this morning and I got 3 nights on the White Rim trail March 26,27,28. Sites are for a max of 3 vehicles/15 people. Probably depart on the 25th and camp somewhere between Rifle & Moab, and return on the 29th or 30th. Haven't figured all...

    Axle Groove

    So I tore down my DS hub today because I've had a bad case of birfield soup for awhile now. But only on the drivers side, and it hasn't been that long since I rebuilt it - probably about 10K to 15K miles. Upon disassembly, the axle seal looks fine. But the axle has a bad groove in it where...

    Rooftop tent - Ladder needed to support cantilever?

    Hi Folks, I recently bought a new rooftop tent, and was surprised to find that the cantilever portion barely held itself up. Was thinking it was defective and wrote to the vendor with pics. Their reply was that the ladder is considered integral to supporting the cantilever side of the tent...

    Recommendations for a good mechanic in Prescott

    Hi Folks, My daughter just graduated from NAU and is leaving for a job in Oregon in a few weeks. So, of course, her car (05 Honda CRV) took a dump on her today. Radiator definitely failed, may need rear brakes as well. It's at the dealership now, and they're telling her on the order of $2K...

    Interest in Rimrocker, Mid July?

    Hi folks - I'm late planning summer travel. To much stuff going on. So I pulled up some maps this morning and started looking around, and Rimrocker caught my eye. https://rimrockertrail.org/ What do you folks know about it? I'm thinking mid July, maybe depart 13th (Wednesday) or 14th and plan...

    Visiting from Colorado - Trail recommendations around Prescott?

    Hi Folks - I'm down from Colorado Springs visiting my daughter in Prescott through the end of next week. Thought I'd get out and see some trails while I'm here or join in if there are any group runs planned. I have a fairly capable 80 series - 33's, locked, 2" lift - and moderate experience...

    Sliders & Bumpers - best approach for preventing rust?

    I'm pulling my steel bumpers & sliders to strip and repaint. What's the best approach - prep, primer, topcoat - to keep the rust at bay as long as possible? I'll be sandblasting and/or grinding to bare metal and am comfortable with HVLP, rattlecan or brushing. Not to concerned about material...

    Wiring a 5 pin relay "backwards"?

    I'm running electric fans on my LS swapped 80 series. And they pull alot of power - nominally 25A, but they pop 30A fuses. Uncomfortably close to the limit for the run of the mill 30/40 relay. a thought confirmed by some forum posts indicating relays weren't lasting to long with this fan. So...

    Sheet metal slip roller?

    Anybody have one I could run a piece of steel through? For the heat shield around my catalytic converter. Else I'll have to do it the hard way.

    SOLD  1993 1FZFE Engine & Transmission, additional parts, blown head gasket - Colorado Springs, CO

    1993 1FZFE engine and transmission, 260K miles. Engine likely has a blown head gasket - haven't pulled the head to confirm, but that's the most likely issue - block test showed exhaust gas in the coolant. Before that, it ran great. Engine has Photoman's alternator bracket and a 120A Sequoia...

    Transmission shop recommendations?

    Hi Folks - anybody have a shop they recommend? I have a 4WD 4L60e with 90K on the clock. No idea on condition - drive and reverse worked, but vehicle was in no condition for a test drive! At the least, I need to get the output shaft swapped to the 2WD version, but would like to get a little...

    Mobile AC discharge service?

    Know anybody who does this? I'd prefer to do it the right way and not just vent it.

    Slow Motion LS Swap - (aka Heater/Cooling System Issue)

    Posted this in the 80 section - thought I'd repost here and see if anybody had ideas. 93 FZJ80, 260K on the clock. I've recently had intermittent issues with the heaters - no heat from the front, very little from the rear. Blowers are fine. Temp gauge reads normal. Eventually it will start...

    Heater/cooling system issue

    Got a problem here. 93 FZJ80, 260K on the clock. I've recently had intermittent issues with the heaters - no heat from the front, very little from the rear. Blowers are fine. Temp gauge reads normal. Eventually it will start working again for no apparent reason. Maybe after a bit on the...

    LC bleeding out at the Kum & Go

    I was wondering why I wasn't getting any heat this morning, so I kept an eye on the temperature gauge. Sure enough, it started climbing when I hit Powers. Pulled into the Kum & Go at Dublin and got out to find my antifreeze pouring out of the cat guard. I can't see it, but from the location...
