Trucks with breathing difficulties?
I am puzzled.
I believe as does Jim Allen that a lot of myths are linked to exhaust systems.
A motor has to pump air in and waste gas out.
Back pressure = pumping loss (not a direct quote but from an idea from a really beaut book "Jeep 4x4 Performance...
Synthetic oils
My preference is for synthetic oils in the KJ. It matters not whether you apply my answer to diesel or petrol. Some argue that it does not matter but I could say to you they are the technically uninitiated. If comeone can argue against me on this molecular level of oil...
Clevis
Hey evilmonkey. Good advice here so far.
I hope I understand what you are trying to do.
Assuming no spring compressors, or that you have 4 arms,,,do you have a spare hydraulic jack (it wud have to be a porta-power - I'm guessing not) -nip up just enough to creating some friction...
Paper or DVD
Thats sad. I also prefer the paper version but the original books shipped to Australia was more than a few $$$$ more. Even tho electronic versions are inevitable there is something to be said about the link between the brain & seeing it on paper.
I think its a bit like...
Word up

Black gunk
Submit this wud be rubber from overheating + friction + hardening seals/cups caused by the presence of water (yuck).
Yes they are mixable (with residues in lines only) but there are protocols:
*mixing...limited
*unopened containers etc. unless you are in a position to vacuum...
Bleeding brakes/fluid
With all my vehicles, I pressure bleed (so it takes no time) every vehicle every 6 months as this stuff is so hygroscopic (some say hydroscopic) but it likes water!!!
The alternate is sleeving all master cylinders, slave cylinders with stainless to avoid corrosion / temp...
4wd when & where
Owners handbook is pretty clear - please read this is you are unsure especially if you are new to 4wd.
Different folks apply different terms from different breeds of truck & country. The last thing you want to occur is transmission wind-up. Ther's some good brains here...
Diesels misunderstood
Despite the efforts of Dr Rudolph and the fact that these motors have been running for a hundred years in some cases, I think you seriously do need to find a dealer who has an understanding of diesels. They are the best technology (even in their most "crude" forms) - I...
