Subject: re: more wierd stuff
Sounds like it's almost time to get a new alternator... or else upon
starting your idle is just too low till you rev it once? The old (read:
original!) alternator on Timex would act somewhat different... upon
light-off, it would almost the ammeter high on charge, then would a second
later drop down to almost no charge, then work it's way back up. I haven't
noticed anything like that on the new one (replaced the ORIGINAL alternator
last October... presently about 215,000 miles on Timex). Oh... it did
that from the time the truck was about a year and a half old till the
end... she's an '85. So it probably isn't anything to worry about anytime
soon, especially if it's been doing it for a long time.
Aluminum tube... hmm... have you seen your tranny dipstick lately?

Subject: socket nut
Any parts store should have it... it's a "four wheel drive wheel bearing
socket" (good name, eh?). Come in a couple of varieties, depending on the
application. You want the one with four little "nibs" sticking up, same as
1/2 ton Fords, etc. Should cost somewhere in the $15.00 range.

Oh, THAT! That's the vent tube for your tranny and transfer case. The
U-bend should be on the top, with the open end facing downward. It's
designed to work just like a snorkel... water can't get in because of the
air (or fumes in this case) bubble contained within the "U".

Subject: the great drive swap
using win95, or 3.1, or NT, use a program called "Ghost" to transfer the
stuff from the old drive to the new drive. It's the only program I know of
that successfully laplinks ALL the "special" 95 and NT stuff. Laplink does
NOT. So, all you have to do is hook up the new drive as "d", do the
laplink, then change the jumpers on the drives, change the CMOS, and you're
all set.
NOTE OF INTEREST: It is better to use a second machine to do the cloning
to... once you hook up a second HDD on 95 (I dunno if NT has this same
quirk, but I wouldn't be surprised) you're probably stuck with THAT hard
drive as a slave, always and forever. I first discovered this problem
about two months ago... actually, I've had problems with customers'
removable HDDs, but didn't realize that's what it was till I ran into the
problem on my machine...

It seems that they tried to print a report, and it never came out. They used a mac. We had them print the report using a PC. It worked great. After an hour or 1 1/2 hours, the mac report finally started printing. It took the PC just a few minutes... You figure it out. It is no secret that Macs cost more for the same level of performance. As for repairs and upgrades, you're not making a fair comparison. There are tons of third party components available for PCs. If you're not careful, you'll have a challenge. If you go with the better stuff, you'll still pay less than you would with a mac and have all the reliability. There is a greater variety of upgrades for the PC. By the way, windows 95 has PNP (Plug 'n Play) capability. As you said about the mac: "couldn't be simpler". That is, if you don't get some junky stuff like I did. My 8X CD ROM caused me tons of grief, but I finally got it to work with Win 95 when I read the instructions. Oh well... By the way...

So if you think your going to break the 44 then put a dana60 in the front as well. By converting the 44 from 6 to 8 lugs all your doing is making the rims compatible. I know many people with a 44 that have never broke them, but then again I know people that have broke a dana 60. And yes if you have offset diffs in the back your SOL, or convert to centered diff and change the tank. Jim[Back to Top]

Subject: RE: Cooling ?'s
Thanks to all who responded to my cooling questions. Here's a brief rundown on
where I'm at:
- Completed so far:
- New fan clutch
- Fan shroud
Solved my in-town temps, but highway temps still high.
- Currently in progress:
- Running Presto Super Clean (3-6 hrs., 10 max.)
- Planned for this weekend:
- New thermostat (160*)
- New rad cap (16 lbs.)
- New hoses
- Seriously check out the crack in the head
- After that:
- Have the system pressure tested
Am I missing anything?
Thanks again for all the suggestions, once again the collective FSJ brain trust
has come through for me!
c-ya,
Whit.
