Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

You should invest in a meter. Harbor Freight often has a decent one for $4 or less, although they're currently $5 (https://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=multimeter). I have a few of the...

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

I bought a kit for $20 with all the guts for both sides.

My adjusters don't have a body. Don't forget I have rear discs. The body is built into a much larger stationary piece of heavy iron. All I...

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

I'm glad I decided to take them apart to clean them up...turns out one is broken.

Do you have to prevent the tappet from spinning in order for the adjuster to work?

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

My adjusters are not seized but they are incredibly difficult to turn. If they're simple to disassemble and reassemble I should do that, wirebrush, lube, etc.

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

Fetch, if your frame is that bad, you should check your brakes. I'm doing my rear disc brakes and it's blown up into a huge project. Everything is rotted. I may have to take my axle apart to replace...

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

Re: Looking at a used truck tonight

When the difference in tow ratings is the powertrain then, IMO, you can safely tow the larger load...you just need to go easy on the engine and transmission.
