    Recovery straps remove downed brush/branches/bushes well

    Who knew? pic to follow but I cut down a bunch of branches and new trees that grew up beside a bush in front of the house and let the leaves and all that fall off, and thus able to see, then I ran a tow strap around the bundle and yanked it as a whole out with my UTV. Satisfying.

    GMT800 radiator "jumped" out of bushing/retainer ?

    Thoughts ive never seen a radiator do this.. Idk if its recent or a long time ago, I was under the driver side and I saw a loose thing, I grabbed it, it was a mount/donut for a radiator I realized. Then I went from above and saw how far ahead that radiator is, its supposed to be in that...

    gmt800 tailgates suck

    They are heavier than square and gmt400 tailgates, bulkier for no reason, they use the same trunnion/hinge design as 1980s squares and gmt 400 (which is fine, just no improvement either), they use the same cables as gmt400, and the handles are chincier than gmt400 (how is that possible) and the...

    3-4 harsh shift 4l80e

    This is for my 2005 with 6.0 but has anyone had any experience with the 3-4 shift being harsh? I expect the shift to be harsher under a situation such as WOT and letting off the throttle (letting it shift up to 4) but if i take off from a stop and accelerate with 25-50% throttle till it wants...

    Which side of the radiator does the trans cooler lines go into?

    So I have learned some interesting things from a ford(haha) but also GM transmission engineer(former, rather) and when it came to my f150, the transmission cooler goes on the passenger side, where the cap is aswell, and he convincingly dispelled the idea the trans needs to run into the radiator...

    Does this look like a Toro Dingo type equipment attachment?

    The bucket side if it was disconnected would have the top slip in part, the sides, but the bottom is only 2 large tangs that have the hole for the pin that stick out a good 4-5 inches and are only a couple inches wide. Just seems like its the toro dingo but the pins are placed different damn...

    Snowblower prep

    How would transmission fluid end up pooling on the intake? TH350

    I am still trying to figure this out, I have never seen it before. But I have ATF pooling on my intake, and my dipstick is damn near full to the top with red watery fluid so I assume literal water is in there(which I also have no idea where the water is coming from...)

    What defined the shape of a SM465 shifter? The rod part

    So Im sure no one has ever thought of this before but I am curious if anyone knows. A google search only found me that some one ton late 60s trucks would have a double bend instead of the single kink which from appearances seems standard? THese two are the same shape. the one in the corner of...

    Shortest height wheel/tire diameter for 14 bolt from?

    To my understanding I don’t want to 1) overheat the bearings 2) potentially cavitation the fluid? I have my axle tubes pretty much submerged but it can’t be 100% just because of the non extreme angle used to fill it I am talking about my shaft less trailer btw I was told to make sure to be...

    Can you convert 4wd to 2wd... without changing front suspension?

    This may seem like a retarded ass question, but beings the front axle (d44 in this case) in my dads 75 k25 is fine, his engine is fine, but his transmission is toast, and he needs a lot of u joints even if he fixes the transmission and his Np203 is probably a little worn out anyway.. I wanted to...
