    Somehow I have a good feeling for you. Maybe your happiness is psychic.

    Take a look at the spark plugs. It may just be an intermittant miss. If you have Champions, toss them anyway.

    VERY nice!!
  5. Niel Hoback
    It sounds like you don't have a choice anymore. Suck it up and do it. Easy for me to say, right?

    Go to a big truck stop.

    That is some mighty fne work there. I wish I could do that.

    Where are you? Perhaps a second set of ears could pick up something.

    Have you tried listening thru a piece of heater hose? Move it around the clutch housing and the intake manifold also to check for a whistling air leak.

    Did you try it without the belt, because that what it sounds like. Touch the sides of the belt carefully while its running with a piece of chalk. It should go away.

    To put it more simply; you can be right, or you can be happy.

    Take the belt off and try it again. Generators can whine.

    Scotty, as old and cracked as those tires are, there is no such thing as good. Even if they were the best thing you could get 20 or 30 years ago, they are useless now. I take that back, a kids tire swing could be made from them. Then sell them as antique folk art to finance a new set!
  14. Niel Hoback
    Those Allstate tires Scotty has were made by Armstrong tires.

    Please excuse my stupidity. I did not put it together that you want to block the hole in the head. I have absolutely no experience doing that. Tapping and plugging does seem to be the way to go. The water pressure isn't that great so it should be alright.

    The seat for the thermostat is in the housing, not the head, so the head opening is really not important. I have put both kinds of thermostats in the cast housing because the stats are the same diameter. I think it would be easier to weld up the hole in the plate to block passage. If you are interested, I think I have a plate with no bypass hole that you could have for the postage.

    I just came in from changing from external to internal passage. The pump to block gasket did not have a hole for the bypass and it did a very good job of blocking the flow for several years. I used a wood plug in the bypass outlet between it and the thermo housing. Also replaced the external use thermostat with one for internal bypass. If I were changing back, would just replace the gasket, that will stop the flow.

    Nice looking truck, Greg. I like the wheels, too.

    Beautiful house, Bob. Enjoy it.
  20. Niel Hoback
    Thanks!

    No extras, I trust? Ain't it a great feeling when something goes right?

    Adding gas to the tank is a problem I've had myself. It seems like I'm always doing that. When you replace that steel oil line, get a brake line piece just an inch or two longer to make up for the shorter rubber hose.

    I recall my grandfather put them on the top of the door frame just behind the vent window. That way he could actually use the right side mirror. They were kind of curved downwards.
  24. Niel Hoback
    Well, good for you! but, inquiring minds want to know, how many are there?

    If you mean the main shaft pilot bearings where it fits into the front input shaft, there appears to be about 15 or 16 roller berings. Your best bet would be to scavenge them from another trans.
