    CDR valve?

    Sounds good Buddy, See I have a good flow of vaper coming out the oil fill tube. I wonder if I just take out the CDR valve and let it vent to the atmosphere? I just don't want too much pressure building up causing oil leaks. Or doing any other harm to the engine. Or BK95 mentioned putting...

    CDR valve?

    Bison, I just picked up a 95 pickup with a boat load of miles on it. It has a fair amount of vapors coming out of the oil filler tube when I remove the cap. Do you suggest taking off the CDR and running a line back to the oil filler tube? Or to the atmosphere? Thanks.

    New Rig named Steve

    Nice truck, I think you should fix it up and keep it. You don't have any trucks with the NV4500 in it do you? Good time to put one of those many engines you have in her and have another nice rig. Where did you get that one?

    Thinking about adding 2 stoke oil....gotta couple Q's..

    I don't know if the 2 stroke oil contributed to my OS going bad or not. I work on alot of snowmobiles in the winter months. Alot of folks wanted their oil drained and replaced with a different brand this past winter. I put their 2 stroke oil in my fuel tank every time I would fuel up. The...

    Need new cyl head fast

    Let us know how it goes. Put big wheels on and enter it in the Monster Jam on Sunday. They started using that chemical around here acouple years ago. They put it on before the storm. Actually I think more accidents are caused from using it. It seems to get slippery when it snows on it.

    Need new cyl head fast

    If you don't need the truck and have another one to drive for the time being just give yourself a break. I have one extra vehicle in the family here. If one breaks down I don't have to get it up and running the next day. I get frustrated too at times and just walk away from it for a few days...

    1978 Nomad Trailer Restoration/Project: 88GMCtruck is at it again.

    Hey My Friend. What have you been up to? No I haven't figured out my problem yet. Last week I got my tranny put back in the 92 6.5 pick up. So at least I don't have 2 trucks down. On Friday I ordered a newer version of the OS from Badger Diesel. It is used but guaranteed for 1 year. I...

    Camping season is upon us. A lesson in Tire Safety

    I did alot of searching on the tire issues and most liked and had the least amount of problems with the Good Year tires. The Marathon tires is what I ended up going with. It would ruin a good trip or make it bad if I had blown out a tire. Especially a new tire. Not saying that a blown out...

    So what tows better ? Travel Trailer or 5th Wheel ?

    I had a 30' jayco fifth wheel and loved it. I then went to a 28' cougar fifth wheel because I got a good deal on it and it was newer. I put a hitch on the back of it and tripple tow with it. The fifth wheel you won't feel the sway at all. I have talked to alot of guys with tt's and they say...

    Camping season is upon us. A lesson in Tire Safety

    I don't know why it is so hard to find a good trailer tire. I searched and searched on message boards for trailer tires. I ended up going with the goodyear tires. It seemed like they had the most positive feedback of all the tires.

    Hard To Push Manual Clutch Pedal NV4500

    Smithville, Thanks I feel better now. The clutch chatter that I feel is when the clutch is engaging. Only when starting from a dead stop is when I feel it. It isn't bad but I feel it. I did use the fine fine sand paper on the flywheel very slightly and I used starting fluid to whipe the...

    Important(!) New(?) Discovery(?) about fuel pressure/ Feed The Beast Mods

    I pulled mine out today. I ended up tearing the screen on one side at the top of that filter. I located one for 2 bucks so I will have to take a 20 mile road trip Tomorrow. Mine was actually very clean and I have 220,000 miles on the truck. It has those 4 ears on the bottom of it. Now...

    NV4500 Before and after

    The three clutch kits I purchased always came with the pilot bearing and a throwout bearing. Make sure you replace both. I put the pilot bearing in but alot of others have used the bushing. I think you can get them at napa. If you get the brass bushing make sure you soak it in oil overnight...

    NV4500 Before and after

    Looks like you have it covered. Might want to have a friend there when you remove that NV4500. Darn thing is for sure very heavy. One of my friends had a tranny jack that went just as low as a floor jack. That worked awsome. Folks have different methods on putting the tranny back in. I put...

    NV4500 Before and after

    You might want to get the gasket that goes between the transfer case and the tranny. Mine always gets torn when I take it apart. You will want to have the flywheel resurfaced too I would think or replaced. In 96 you have the internal slave? I thought I was going to get mine done in a day...

    filter fuel tap or "T" on line to IP?

    Looks like a nice set up. Turboman, if that galvenized and fuel don't mix causing a chemical reaction statement is correct, that is very good input on your part. Thanks.
