    Newby Asks: Free-Wheel Front Hubs

    I have a Spyntec free spin hub conversion. I like it and do not regret buying it. At the time the truck needed both front wheel bearings replaced and decided to upgrade. I like the improvement in the handling and 2 lo is was nice to have again(I had a '91.5 W350 CTD). I plan on keeping my truck...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Too few of miles?

    I wouldn't let low miles scare me off. Like others said what shape is the rest of the truck in. Can you get history on it. I met a guy last spring who had a '01 2500 CTD with 42k. The truck was immaculate. I was there to buy a winch and ended up talking about the truck for 45 minutes. He said...

    Front timing cover questions

    216 inch pounds. Multiply ft. lbs. by 12. When I had my cover off on my 24 valve I think there was five. Three behind the cam and one above it and one down by the idler for the oil pump. I believe that is it, if I remember right. I have never had to use a speedy sleeve, I can't really help you...

    Xbox vs PlayStation 3

    I own a xbox 360 at the moment, but my next system will be a Playstation 4. Xbox has gotten a little full of itself lately when they were talking about the features for the next generation console(Xbox One if I remember right) which will be released in the next week or so. The big turn off was...

    I purchased a Pa performance about 3 or 4 years ago. Works fine.

    Neapco u-joints

    Installed some in my truck this past winter. so far, so good. My local mechanic recommended them. They are the greaseable ones.

    Quiz question

    I am one of them too. My excuse is I am single and have no one to sit around the table with. So I end up eating supper in my arm chair. When I was a kid we usually ate at the table together.

    That would make sense.

    chirping at shut down

    How old is your belt? My friend had this problem too. He never changed it since new, it had 220k on it. All that was needed was a new belt. The old belt looked ok just made the squeaking sound all the time.

    chirping at shut down

    My '00 would chirp. I put on a gaterback and no change. Replaced the belt tensioner and it hasn't done it since(3+ yrs).

    Camshaft bolts torque values?

    I can't look up first gen stuff with what I have. But for a 2nd gen 12 valve it says: Camshaft thrust plate bolts 18 ft-lbs. Crank damper bolts 135 ft-lbs. That seems high so out of curiosity I looked up a 24 valve and it says 92 ft-lbs and the thrust plate is the same at 18 ft-lbs. Hopefully...

    Do I need Air Bags?

    Thank you guys for the insight. The independent setup has more benefits than drawbacks and I will pass it along. Thanks Andy

    Do I need Air Bags?

    With the compressor setup can you isolate the left and right airbags so the pressure doesn't transfer over to the other side when turning and such. Or is this not a big deal. My father has some firestones and is thinking of a onboard compressor. He has no regrets about installing them, work great.

    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Prairie Rats?

    Hate them things, in the winter they like to find their way in the barn and crap on hay bales upstairs. Also in the morning they sit on a long conveyor from the silo's to the feed bunk. You fire everything up and go out to check it and once in a while get startled by one falling out. I swear...
