    Chain Saw Recommendations

    I was just alerted to this old post and I reread what I wrote on post #17. My saw is a Stihl 048, NOT a 028. I cut about 7-8 cords a year and this saw is still going strong.

    Needs tips on reinstalling NV4500 in '99 2w/d

    If you try to put it in with the bell housing on the transmission it seems to go better. I've done it both ways on the ground and bell housing and transmission bolted together works best.

    Hard starting when the truck nose is downhill

    Sounds like you have some old cracked rubber fuel lines around the engine that will have to be replaced. Look for damp spots on the hoses themselves. You may get lucky and find the leaker easily.

    Doug, I had this same thing happen to me. I checked all that was mentioned and found nothing out of place. Tried several times to fix it and no success. I found it by accident working on the valve cover. The main wiring harness on the firewall had dropped down on the valve cover after coming...

    Starts, dies, restarts fine diagnosing

    vacuum activated 4wd

    There are a lot of things that were left off my truck. No blanket for under hood, no grab handle for drivers side A pillar, and no rear liner? forward of the wheel for keeping mud from splashing all over the rear underneath. Seems like there are a couple more things too.

    Doug, your post caught my eye. I'm in Chocowinity, 20 miles from Greenville. Here's a thread from a while back that should help you with the fuel pump problem. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/252069-Electrical-Problem-on-1999-2500-that-mechanic-can-t-diagnose
