If you do not have lockout hubs, front axles and differential, and front drive shaft spin all the time you are driving. What else gets lubed in 4WD?

Here is my 1971 with a 4BT.

I use an older version of the Cobra 75 All Road Wireless CB Radio - Dual-Mode AM/FM All the controls are on the handset.

The charge is low. Freon flow path through the evaporator cools the driver side first without enough cooling left for the passenger side. I have to do it occasionally due a small leak in my AC system. I use the procedure and the bands below in the chart to add to existing charge. I get...

I use the procedure and the bands below in the chart to add to existing charge. I get satisfactory results without evacuating the system. A/C PERFORMANCE TEST WARNING: REFER TO THE APPLICABLE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS FOR THIS SYSTEM BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING OPERATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE...

Ditto on EMF! Good Joints, good value. Use High moly (5%) grease in them. Grease that meets the Caterpillar pin and bushing specs will work. I use this: https://www.schaefferoil.com/238-ultra-supreme.html

Yes. It changes shift points and converter lockup behavior for better towing performance.

Have the oil analyzed at the next oil change, it will tell you what is going on with the engine internals. I use Blackstone Laboratories. Sample kits are free, the analysis is $30.00 if you send in the sample for analysis. You can sample through the dipstick tube if you want the analysis...

Brand and purchase location? My alternator is at 270K miles.

Just replaced mine. Interstate tech recommended MTP-65HD to get 850 CCA, and that is what I bought. Replaced my last Interstate batteries because they were 5 years old and I noticed a little slower cranking as the weather cooled. Interstate dealer gave me a little money on the purchase...

I do not think it, here are the facts: 1. The slots in the disk surface “clean” the pad in the braking phase, regenerating the friction material, removing debris or glaze. Downside, pads may not last as long. 2. The slots disrupt the layer of water on the disk when driving in the rain. The...

You are not convincing me. You are correct that slotted rotors are not needed in normal conditions. But, when the gray haired lady pulls out in front of you in her 1985 Buick, I want all the advantages I can get. Loads of information available on the benefits of slotted rotors that contradict...

No, I do not get it yet, explain it to me. Slotted rotors provide better braking performance for several reasons, improving safety. Period.
