    Help! Pinion Bearing question

    So my Pinion seal is leaking on the dana 44. Since I am going through it I figure I might as well replace it as well. So I tear into it and replace the seal. I notice that there is some play in the pinion gear. Hmmm. So my question is this- Is the pinion supposed to have some up and down...

    what is this called?

    I hear that. I use mine very rarely. But it is a very nice tool to have.

    what is this called?

    That makes for a long day. When I get to that point I am thinking "use the liquid wrench" aka oxy/acetelyne. That strikes fear into most any bolts. It also tells the truck that you are not putting up with any nonsense and it better straighten right up. Uh huh. LOL.:)

    This is a understatement. I am giving you a rep as well for helping me out on my thread also. Thanks for keeping me straight.:)

    what is this called?

    ^+1 on what he said. Maybe an hour and half to get down to it but not to fix it. I am doing the same thing to my truck right now. She is not being easy. She is fighting us all the way. I have removed and replaced 2 axle joints, spindle bearings on both sides in about 4 hours. This is on a 78...

    2 Tone Factory Paint Measurements

    I have a 1969-1973 Early Model Crash Estimating guide that an Insurance adjuster used back in the day. It does not talk about colors, part fitment issues but it does give detailed pictures along with part numbers, cost of the parts and estimated time to replace the parts. It shows trim pieces...

    2 Tone Factory Paint Measurements

    I just went out to the small garage and measured my fender. I have the same exact trim as the Blazer on my truck. Here are the measurements so far. A- 13 5/8 B- 14 1/4 These measurements are taken from the top black line on top trim to the bottom of the black line on the bottom trim...

    I let me son buy this... I know I know...

    I have a 2001 Dodge extend cab Sport that is the same color. It has the 44 front end which is one reason I bought it. Take a close look at the brake lines. I had to replace every brake line due to corrosion. Damn Mexican truck anyways. If the transmission has been worked on then you should be...

    What kind of tool box do you have at home??

    I can believe that just by looking at your pics of your toolboxes and your garage.:) If I had to make a living with my tools you can bet I would have Snap On or Mac.

    Found on eBay Listings

    I am keeping my old hood because it has that perfect patina. It should be worth more $ since it has the direct cold air section on the very front of it. That is code for rust holes in case anyone didn't know.:):popcorn:

    4 speed over drive

    Ok I have heard about those transmissions but I didn't know what they were. I have the 465 with a 205 and that is fine with me.

    What kind of tool box do you have at home??

    I really had to laugh when I saw this.:) Let me just say that you would love to have me for a neighbor. I have one neighbor that comes to me for everything. It is a pain sometimes. If I moved, he would be lost. My dad used to work at a Heating/AC company that specialized in Lennox furnaces...

    4 speed over drive

    I have never heard of a 4 speed manual with overdrive for these trucks. I would say you got a good deal on it too.

    4" Lift Inquisition

    I think I read somewhere that the front brake lines for a 1999- I think- 1 ton has the longer factory front brake lines. I am not certain though. If it was me I would buy the lines that will mate to the later calipers. The reason is just in case you roll another front end under the truck. I...

    What kind of tool box do you have at home??

    Here are my two little tool towers. They are stuffed full. I need another but I do not have room for it. The tower by itself is my son's. He is almost 16. He has had it for two years now. It is pretty full as well. The single box on the bench is for working on rifles and also holds scope...

    Cup holder

    I looked at that for my truck too. I have a SM465 in mine with a bench seat and I don't think it would work. I did see one on CL for $20 quite a while ago. So I would keep looking there. You never know. BTW-back in the day when I was single a cup holder was the girl sitting beside me! Ha!Ha...

    white lettering: in or out

    I would mount those tires with the lettering out. Don't be ashamed to tell everyone what they are. Now if it was a tire that had white outlined letters then I would put them in. BTW- I try NOT to be like everyone else. I do not care for custom black rims. If I have to pay big money for rims...

    Is this cab worth trying to save?!

    You did the right thing. I would have never thought twice. I am facing the same problems and more with my cab. If I ran into the same deal and had the money, I would do exactly what you did.

    1974, 1975 Blazer parts

    Exactly. I have given him the benefit of doubt. However my patience is at an end. I paid using a certified letter and postal money order. I am pretty sure this constitutes postal fraud. I will be in contact with the post office. I will send him another registered letter letting him know the...

    1973-87 Hood

    Well I learned something new today. That was pretty interesting. I didn't know these trucks came with a hook built into the hood or cowl.

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    This is good to know. I never thought about tipping a tow truck driver. But when you think about it, they are providing a valuable service. So I will be tipping when I need their service. Now I am the kind of guy that says where do you want this strap? Is there anything I can do to help you...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    We just changed the drag link out today. We started on replacing body mount bushings. We got the two on the core support changed and got one bolt out in the back of the cab before stopping for the night.
