In my 2018 Dmax. It's time for new batteries. Would like to stick with classic flooded lead acid. I personally have not had any luck with AGM. Any U.S. manufacturers left? If so, What sticker (brand names) should I look for? Duralast/Azone? Interstate? Everstart/Wally World? Suffice to say I...

Maybe a 12x20.. Free standing. All steel. Would like it to be fully enclosed with 'some kinda' door for an average vehicle. (9x7 feet) Something not permanent. Tractor Supply sells one for around a Grand but it's just a roof, open all the way around. Trying to get some ideas. This will be...

Noticed the banner ad and thought I'd say WELCOME to The Truck Stop. We always like to see pics and videos of the venerable 6.2 & 6.5 engines and associated parts, and welcome discussion and info you would like to share.

For a small engines it's a big problem. Chainsaws, mowers, trimmers, back up generators, log splitters, snow blowers, old cars and trucks. List goes on. Anything with a carburetor and/or rubber in the fuel system. Aluminum suffers the ill effects too. It's become a big problem because of the...

Or so I think. This one is in the '93. (truck in sig) Got right at 250,000 miles but I think the thing has been 'rebuilt' at some point in time. Probably with just clutches and seals, just a guess. Doubt the roller sprags or bushings were done.. Like I said, just a guess. So we have this...

Got a friend with a low mile 4WD cab and chassis 3500HD Duramax dump 10.5' flatbed truck. Maybe 37-38k miles. It has the twin tank sutup, one fore and one aft the rear axle. Since it was new it's had a problem with the rear tank pumping itself into the front tank and overflowing it onto the...

Truck hauls big 15,000 lb or heavier toy hauler campers for a living. Nationwide. Canada. All weather. Still looks and drives as NEW. Well cared for no doubt with a tune and minimal mods. Belongs to an Ex big-rig driver. He stopped by while I was at a friends place today. I must add that it's...

So I have this Diamond T, a '67 with a 6-71N. Dunno if it's 2 or 4 valve, dunno what injectors it has.. Yet. It's just a toy. Thought I'd like yet another truck that turns diesel into beautiful noise. :D Nobby you out there?

Excuse me while I re-machine my water pump.. A nagging coolant leak led me here. Found the block to timing housing leak. This one caused a raised eyebrow or two. Anybody run into this on their H.O. Pump? The shiny areas is the mill bastard file doing it's thing. Took a minute or two to get...

Was expecting to see some play. Got what I was after and then some. Was tight upon install 24,000 miles ago when I built the engine. May just leave it alone. Reason for teardown was a coolant leak from between the timing housing and block. Chain and gearset is a Cloyes. Going to drill a cam oil...

I have a 1800 amp Kinetik brand AGM battery that I run in the '74 C10. It sits most the time but gets toyed with every now and then. Never had any discharge issues until a few months ago. Battery went totally FLAT like .1 V. It's not a cheap mistake BY FAR. So now I'm trying to resuscitate the...

Any cheats? TEC2 would be nice yeah. 2000 Buick Century 3.1. Had to do both rear brake lines from ABS unit to hoses. Used a mighty vac with canister. Haven't done the pump and bleed yet.

Spider gears. These are a weak link in an otherwise stout 3/4 ton rear diff. Fixing a plow truck for a local hospital and one of the tasks on the laundry list was finding out why the rear was clanging and banging. Well I found the problem captain. Also found that GM has an updated gear kit...

So I have to share my latest tool find. Two AAA batteries, 8 LED's, magnetic pocket clip.. Huge light for a tiny package. The Larry by Nebo.

It's a older '78 2WD extendable backhoe. Nice old machine. 4 cyl diesel, shuttle shift, 1 yd bucket etc.. Fell victim to electrolysis in the liners, engine took on some coolant but was shut down quickly upon loss of coolant. We are re-assembling with new liners, rod bearings, rings, lifters...

Have an opportunity to buy a gently used A/C recovery machine. It's an older model used for R-12 and it's variants. I read somewhere that it will not handle R134A. So, two questions. 1. Is this true? 2. If true or not, can I at least use it to draw down a system? As in, does it have a vacuum...

There's the E's M's maybe a few others.. R? Is this export? Mostly looking at the M's 5085M, 5100M on up to the 5115M.. Are these made 'cheap'? How about the E's? I know virtually nothing about 'em. Any experiences to share?

I don't know what this is but... since tapatalk doesn't have and APP for a windows phone I must use a 'full site' browser. Not a big deal.. Is there an app that works other than tapatalk? So..something in the TTS software makes my pop up keyboard go away when trying to post/type.. Over at...

Few questions for the style I have in pic below.. (or was it 88-94 maybe..) The buttons, are they supposed to be lit up, lights on? The lettering and symbols? Mine aren't.. :dunno: And the fluorescent display, is there a way to dim this thing when the lights are OFF? It's annoyingly...

I have a 10 year old in dash CD/Mp3 receiver made by Alpine that has suffered a casualty. The 'Bio-lite' display has bit the big one. It's actually a well documented common problem.. Everything else on the unit is perfect, just can't see to make any adjustments which is no fun. I have the...
