  1. Hey there, searched all over couldn't find an answer to this, I find that I never really use my plumming, sometimes just the sink for dishes, my question, is it OK to leave the tanks clean and empty, or do I always have to keep some water insde? Thanks again for the help!
  2. Ok, one other thing maybe just in relation to the cold start valve is the coolant temp sensor, sounds like that can also cause slight flooding if malfunctioning, when hot it thinks it's still cold?
  3. Cool yeah it's a 22RE thanks, after thinking a bit more seemed likely the injectors were the problem. Can the distributer cap/ rotor or fuel pump/ filter possibly have similar symptoms?
  4. Hi, after driving a distance and only after a distance maintaining 55-60, short trips have no effect, i experience a rough idle when re-starting the truck, cold starts right up with smooth idle. Maybe fuel related? it's rough for a moment and then smoothes out. thanks!
  5. Okay guess I just needed to be a big baby for a minute, got it done but it seems like there is a tight spot, though there is no visible wear on the bearings, races etc. Repacked the bearings and replaced seals, everything looked good, sounds like one of the brake shoes is the culprit, I don't know? The seal near the outer bearing not the inner was definitely worn causing the gear oil to leak, but the grease was uncontaminated at the inner bearing. If that makes sense.
  6. Well finally got around to doing this, all went well until i reached the two bearing set screws. They seem to be held in place with a ton of retaining compound or Thor himself tightened them down, either way I've tried heat and impact with no luck. Why would these be on there so tightly? The split washers were a breeze, didn't use any special method whatsoever, funny. Any other tricks, I've already started stripping the screws using the right size driver. Suns going down with just enough time to put it back together and start all over tomorrow. Thanks again.
  7. Just got to a spot to work on this, so will I need to disassemble the brake drum and everything to replace the inner seal right? I'm a little nervous to deal with the brakes 'cause I have no experience. I'm currently on a trip and want to do as little as possible, but obviously if I need to take it all apart I'll do what ever it needs.
  8. Very cool, but to replace the the inner seal I'll need to disassemble the whole assembly along with the wheels, right? I have the pusher holes, happy about that, and its been covered in oil so hopefully not much corrosion to deal with.
  9. Oops missed that last one, ok so the inner seal must be bad. I need to drive 200 miles before I can really fix it, think it's a safety hazard?
  10. Forgive me, but are you saying you can pull the axle with the wheels still on? And should there be oil coming up to that paper gasket? I got a little gun shy when i took the nuts off, sarted thinking(don't do that much) maybe I need to know a bit more, those cone washers really are on there good! Thanks again, really learning a lot!
  11. Wow! Thanks for all the knowledge! So if I understand this, it's possible for the oil to leak out of the end regardless of the inner seal. If I take it off to repair is oil going start shooting out? I'm not a mechanic so sorry if these are stupid questions.
  12. Hey there, just noticed oil leaking from my passenger side rear axle. Looks like there is a gasket in the outer cap but on the diagram there is a seal on the inside. Is it actually the inside seal causing the leak? If so the bearings and the break drum are subject to contamination, correct? Or does the diff fluid flow through to the end of the axle? Thanks so much for any advice! I know this has probably been covered but I couldn't find it.
  13. Anybody installed these? Having some trouble here, seems like the axle mount is the wrong radius. The bracket they supplied is too small, maybe they just sent the wrong one. just wondering if any one else had experienced this. Thanks!
