I SEENT IT 1ST! KOOTER'S HERE!
Glad it's doing so well for you. So do you have aftermarket stub axles in that? I've know of some contacting and jamming up the selector when the cap's tightened down all the way. could be something along those lines or not enough gasket material under the bezel spacing it out correctly?

That's really cool Charles. I've still got Grandpa's worm drive Skilsaw and that thing will torque your hand right off your wrist if it binds up. Love those things.

So Tate what happens when the axle is hit with the punch? Does it break the c clip?

Slide hammer and punch simultaneously allow that spiral wound snap ring to roll out as intended without snagging on the lip of the case half and taking it with it.

Sell those bumpers, shed about 1000lbs and then the 318 might be able to move it too.

Keep in mind that on that year truck, the front diff on the drivers side dosent like to release the cv shaft due to the "C" clip that was used on the inside of that diff.
X5000!^^^^ remove the breather assembly to gain access to the end of the stub shaft, contact with a long punch and have the pre-ranger on the flange with the slide hammer and coordinate your strikes, you should be gtg. get it even the slightest bit off center and you might be buying JR's case to replace the one you just fragged. Full floater from Duane should work perfectly, 00-04 are of the same lineage. I know from Les Schwab days you can stuff 33" under the existing suspension with a level kit and bumper trim. I've had guys just crank up the torsion bars to achieve this, albeit the wrong way, but you could just get the right porkchops, throw some good billstiens on there and be done with it.

Happy belated birthday you old fart. me and you aren't that far apart. the wife is taking me and Sophie to AZ for my birthday on the 10th. Ken, my AZ geography is no bueno. how far from Marathon are you?
Tate, any idea where youre going? I can?t find a marathon in AZ. I?m down SE of Tucson.
So many goofy names to remember... I was in Anthem. a little ways north of Phoenix. We wound up checking out Montezuma's "Castle" and spend a little time in Sedona, aka hippy central. Very beautiful state though Ken. little dry though

So what you're telling me is that a group of marketing mavericks, the best and brightest minds with their fingers on the pulse of today's society, observed the enormous void in the "women's man cave market" and the best name they came up with sounds like a nickname for lady bits?

Chased a ground issue in my Peterbilt. All the chicken lights came on with the dome light when I open the door. Crazy. Wrestled the starter out of my new tinker toy the Nissan Pathfinder. That was fun. Not really.
Most importantly I got out and voted.

That song came out the year after she was born and she fits all the lyrics pretty perfectly. we listen to a lot of music together, whenever we're driving and I like to get her talking about why she likes certain songs and how they make her feel. I have always thought of music as cheap therapy and want her to have an appreciation for it as well.

That's how I look at things too Dooley. We had a 5 month term miscarriage a few years before Sophie. Put me in a really dark, angry hole for a while. a little before I found this place and these men of God. Looking at it from the perspective of the soul was so precious he had to have it back helped me reconcile my anger and sadness with acceptance and relief. God bless all who have to bury their children.

I bet they make it here before the hurricane. Either that or they will use the hurricane to their advantage. They will get stuck in the middle of it and it will be all Trumps fault.
A sacrifice the left is probably very willing to make. (vegas?)

Koi would be very cool, potentially bring $$ in, but bluegill and smallmouth and catfish can be eaten, and breed. just adding to the self-sustainability of the place.

I'm thinking besides the grass carp you could stock some smallmouth, submerge one of those pesky tree stumps that tried to kill you and have some nice cover to flip spoons at. Just sayin. Those stones couldn't have been quarried any nicer sir, really good work there.

Since Shawn asked and I didn't want to clutter up Dave's thread anymore than we already had, I got my results from Blackstone back and it would appear that Jiffy Lube is off the hook, one way or another. Everything is consistent with them having put in 5w30 albeit cheap stuff, but not waste oil. (that is unless they were just covering their tracks and changed the oil again before sending Cyndie down the road to their "authorized mechanic." Either way, 6 in one hand 1/2 doz in the other scenario, so I'm going to do a hot flush, run some seafoam and ATF through it, dump new flush mixture in as I'm draining old out, and cycle it once again w/ new fresh oil, filters along the way etc. if it works, I'm back in business and sludge was my culprit all along, if not, I'll probably drop a good used long block in there rather than rebuild the top end of a 193k motor and oil pump... I'll keep y'all updated but for now it's just depressing.

Just get the lube serviced by Jiffy Lube. They'll put in waste oil and the rest will be history

You know those differential sales guys..... 
Just for that, I'll be sponsoring Dave's rebuild when he finds the bad bearings.

« on: October 17, 2018, 12:18:33 PM »
Also could be pinion bearings Get the rear axle up on jackstands and have the wife accelerate then let off the gas and listen near the pinion support. Deceleration noise is typically loss of preload and bearings buzzing while the pinion gear runs in an "off" spot on the ring gear coast side.
Am i the only one that finds that method a bit odd....?
- put rear axle on jack stands
- stick entire body under said vehicle
- have WIFE put it in drive (and hope its not reverse)
- smash gas pedal (pray shes not pissed at you or been watching too many murder tv shows)
- then listen for noise with head next to axle
?
Only strange to those with Ex's I suppose
