If duualing the exhaustes, I’d always want a pipe out each side. Need a splitter back of the transmission X member unless there’s room betwen the X member and the flooring boards. 🤷😹

Just dont hard boil them egggs furst. BWAHAAAAhaaaaaa

But I want to see into combustion chambers. Is there a GP/video camera option ? ? ? ? 😹😹😹

I read that google search, about the saran wrap, while at my friends, we both thought that was funny, but, would certainly keep dirt out of that CV joint.

1988 Buick. NAPA was factory on axle and ball joint, plus at least a week out and postage stamps. Oriellys will be here Wednesday He said, Unless Orielly is shutting down on Monday for some reason, usually its Tuesday after ordering on a Saturday. Axle is Precision brand, same with ball joint...

Yup, 😹😹😹 It struck a funny note in me too. But, good infurmaishun. 😹😹😹

Yup, got the car in the garage. Lower right Ball Joint shot and the CV axle boot on left side. Decided to replace the entire CV axle.

Welcome to the forum ML.

I love that truck.

I wonder if a smaller pulley could help boost things up a little.

I’ll hold off in the loads until I get this figured out and fixed. I was afraid of the lowered boiling points with it not being pressurized. Got plenty to do here until that time comes to move them old dozers from up north. And then the son bought a smaller road grader. It is over in Ohio. We...

No more drips under the truck. I’ll be needing to pull a heavily loaded trailer about 60 to 70 miles before too long. I hope its okay to haul such a load with the radiator cap loose. Weight on the trailer will be in excess of 20,000 pounds. Some mighty fine hills between there and here too. Any...
