    Pitman and drag link geometry

    Since replacing my aged OME suspension with new coils, I've heard a clunking sound when I encounter particular types of bumps. I've checked and wiggled everything in the front end. My thinking is that the geometry on the drag arm end and pitman is off - as a result the rod end whacks the pitman...

    Factory winch - testing while off-vehicle

    Howdy, I'm trying to figure out which part of my factory winch is the problem. Is there any means of testing it off-vehicle? Ground and power seem intuitive, but I'm not sure how to bypass the #1 magnet switch (under the battery). Is it possible? Overall, I my winch isnt working. The #1...

    Tired OME suspension - thoughts?

    I installed my OME 850/863J and 60070/60071 just over 5 years ago. Since then, I've covered a lot of ground and added a bunch of weight. In short, the trucks handling is pretty brutal, especially things like washboards, and off-camber roads. I'm looking to upgrade and have eyes on a couple of...

    Summary of my experience with a heater core removal

    I knew removing the heater core was a "pain". But didnt truly appreciate how intense it was until I was nearly done. The experience somewhat reminded me of being an expecting father for a first child - no amount of warning really prepares you at all :) For anyone looking for a "what the big...

    Brake pedal travel - not spongy brakes

    Thank you in advance for the insight! Here is my problem: brake pedal travel is really long on the first, and only first, depression of pedal. The second and subsequent presses, brake are amazing. Backstory: I took it to the shop and the front rotors machined and new front pads were installed...

    Heater blows hot only

    My heater decided to blow hot air only, no cold, no a/c. Its not a thermostat thing right? I had to maneuver the dash a bit the other day - could it be the flexible rubber hose going into the rear of the heater control unit has come loose? Seems odd, but its the only thing I can think of...

    Window electrical problem: One side stopped working

    Last week I noticed that the left-hand side of my truck's windows (passenger side as its an RHD) all stopped working for no apparent reason (Left front & Left Rear). I would greatly appreciate thoughts on where to continue my troubleshooting efforts. I checked the Driver master switch...

    Quarter panel attachment clip

    I was trying to remove my panel the other day, and the backs to the attachment bolts broke off (all rusted). Specifically, they are the backs to the bolts right above the wheel. In order to stick the panel back on, I need to find some replacements. The trouble is, I have no idea what they are...

    Any downside to installing a second aux Trans cooler?

    Hopefully a quick question - is there any downside to installing a second aux transmission cooler? My transmission gets stinking hot during forest service road climbs (easily >250, which is bad). I already have a one aux cooler (fin type) and it helps, but clearly not enough. I thought about...

    Transmission temp question: what is "too hot"

    Wanted to ask a general question about what is "too hot" for a transmission temp. I guess the follow-up question would be: what should I do about it. When I do big climbs on logging roads (~30kmph), the trans temp quickly rises to about 250 degrees. It seems to level out there if I keep the...

    Passenger heater hoses - easy question

    I want to temporarily remove the passenger heater unit from my HDJ81. This will be a stupid question, but I am going to ask it anyways: What are the 2 hoses leading to the heater core full of? Is it coolant? Sorry its such a dumb question!

    Didnt engage rear locker before removing axle - now what?

    I am a dumbass. Apparently I should read the details a little more closely before tearing apart the rear axle. I cant for the life of me get the short axle back into the diff. I didnt engage the locker before starting - perhaps that is my problem. Now that I am stuck, how can I get unstuck...
