I thought about jacking up the engine, but then I saw those hard lines coming from the radiator and didn't want to bend anything up. Also couldn't figure what part of the mount I could unbolt then get back together. I had an old Craftsman 90° drill but by the time I got it wedged in I didn't...
2am.......I was hunched in that wheel well till 2am trying to get that last bolt out! Gave up on it after breaking off a screw extractor in it and put things back together. Might try again after I get it inspected.
All that aside, I was able to use the Lisle drill plate. Only difference...
I looked at a couple different web sites and the part numbers are the same for the exhaust manifold and the gaskets. Oddly enough none of them offer the driver's side manifold for a 6.4.
Do the 5.7 and 6.4 use the same bolt pattern for the exhaust manifold? I'm having issues getting some snapped bolts out of my passenger side head. The 3 on the back port all broke off 1/16" or so below the surface. I tried welding a nut on one and the weld bonded the head. I got 1 with an...
I haven't tried any off road yet with them yet. Just been back and forth to work. I have some dirt roads around, but nowhere to hit mud without trespassing.
I got up early Tuesday and had my tires mounted before work. I explained to the mechanic about the tires and that they might take extra weight to balance. As it turned out they balanced quite well. One took 1oz and the others took 3-4oz of weights.
As for the ride, they do have a little...
My tires showed up as scheduled. They look like new tires. Only one tire has a liner repair, but I don't think this is going to be an issue. I've got an appointment next Tuesday to get them mounted.
I was looking at a couple places Sunday night comparing prices. I pulled up Treadwright's website to find they were running a March Madness sale, 15% off. After going back and forth I decided to pull the trigger on a set of the Axiom AT. They should be here Thursday. Not bad for standard...
Recaps (retreads) you buff down the tread only. A strip of premade tread is then glued on. The tire retains its original sidewall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udSUYURoDUc
The remold process puts new rubber from bead to bead. The tire is then put in the same molding presses used in new...
These tires are not retreaded. They buff the tire down to the core and take a little off the sidewalls. The rest of the process is the same as if they were making a new tire.
I've been considering getting a set of Treadwright tires. I've read some good things about them, and a fair amount of bad things, so I thought I would ask on here for some feedback. I'm looking at either a Warden or Axiom. My truck is my daily driver so I need something with decent highway...
18CrewDually no, I don't think I tried it over 15mph
BossHogg the trailer is a 2016. I pulled it a few times before I bought it and I think things worked then. It has the factory brake controller. I have not tried to pull the break away and move it, but I will try it this weekend.

The other day I took my car trailer in for an inspection. Before I dropped it they had me go thru the lights, and then asked me to pull forward and manually engage the trailer brakes. As I pulled forward and activated the stock controller nothing seemed to happen. We tried it in reverse with...
