    Denso Alternator

    Just thought I'd pass on a little tip, fellas. If, for any reason, you need to remove the voltage regulator, and you find that the screws for the top cover and backing plate aren't coming off with a phillips, stop right there and use an impact driver. I just replaced my old alternator with a...

    Call for Carb/HAC Diagnostics

    These are results from two emissions tests. The first shows a rich condition (high CO which then kicked up the HC). The bottom test shows a very clean pass. Note the extremely low .02 CO%. Also note, however, that the low CO% is a direct result of a pulled circuit shown by the bottom most...

    Gross Polluter

    This is a stock 2F with 110,000 miles. Driven 5K street miles a year. Looks like it's running real rich and I'm asking for ideas as to why. Carb was rebuilt before the last test in 2003 and then passed. It was running rich then too, but not this badly. Cat is 4 years old, new plugs...

    2F timing gear cover gasket. Possible shortcut?

    Has anyone tried or thinks it's possible to change a timing gear cover gasket without removing the pulley? I think it is, but I might be missing something. The seal is fine and the gasket is cheap. Could potentially be a 1 1/2 hr job. Aside from removing the belt, fan shroud and fan...

    Pulling up on the gas pedal to lower your idle?

    Of course, we're ruling out an adjustment or internal carb problem. But for any of you that have intermittent high idle, or have been using your foot to pull up on the gas pedal, the problem could be as simple as the carburetor's throttle linkage return spring. They can lose their tension...

    Will it fit?

    If you fellas know off hand, it'll save me a little hassle. I bought an unused second hand BFG All Terrain KO to use as a spare. The PO didn't want to pay for dismounting so he threw in the Centerline wheel. It's already mounted and balanced, so I'm thinking of just throwing it all under...

    Sea Foam through Brake Booster?

    I've always used the "pour down the carb" method. Sure, brake booster vacuum would take it in. But bb vacuum taps into the last branch of the intake manifold which only feeds 5 and 6. In other words, you're not doing anything for cyl's 1-4. .

    Damn grease gun!

    I've been using an old Alemite grease gun for years that never gave me too much of a problem. It's a lever type gun with the fill valve at the head. It can't use a cartridge but i've been using a home fabbed plunger to load the gun from cardboard tube canisters. Anyway, this time I...

    egr pipe / ? using bolts in place of studs

    I'll be changing the egr pipe, gasket, ferrule, and nut. I'll remove the cooler and pipe as a unit making it easier to separate the two outside the rig. Before re-installing, I'll connect the two together, but once in, I expect the greatest difficulty will be in tightening the egr pipe nut to...

    Steering Shaft Woes

    Hey guys, need some help. I've got some play where the steering yolk #39 clamps onto the upper splines of the intermediate steering shaft #630 (just in front of the firewall). Not alot of play, but enough to make me want to take care of it. Anyway, is there a fix other than tearing it...
