that sucks. i had a similar issue with a oil cooler line on my 03. i snapped the shaft on the p/s pump while snow plowing, now i got no brakes, no steering and no working fan, un hook the plow in that lot and drove it home, it was freezing out. fixed that on new years eve, freezing out too and snowing. get it all back together go plowing, next day the belt shreds, i failed to press the pulley all the way back on right. fixed that, new belt, then another day later im under the hood checking things over and theres oil all over the place. what i failed to notice was the belt knocked the oil line out its clip on the oil pan and it was rubbing the balancer and cut it through. buy new line installed it. pita too.

few days later im out doing clean up work. lines holding up fine, then as im blocks form home i got a large hill to get up, as i get to the top i notice i got no oil pressure, shut it down and stop at the top of the hill. look back and i just left a james bond oil slick up the hill. oil every where. so i fire it up, goose the gas kill it and coast down the hill, make a right turn and im 3 blocks from home, needed to fire it up and goose it once more a block from home, parked it on the wrong side of the road in front of my house. went to bed.

line blew off the filter housing. next day im under the truck taking a oil bath as its still dripping off the under side.

this is when i found out with a oil cooler its 9 qts to fill a 6.0 from dead empty. dumped in 5 qts, fire it up, shut off, check the stick, not a drop on it lol wtf wheres it going??????

Same luck I have. I noticed just before the line blew that my oil pressure is reading 80 psi. That's new.

Sheesh, @Tonyrodz, at least you have your chair. Way to be prepared!

 

[Massfloefi]

So, that was fun.

Working on drivers side right now. Didn't find any play but can hear some squeaking when I twist it left and right.

Besides checking the cv axle boots does anyone no what kind of play is not acceptable in the axles?

True, but only because my gf carries them in the truck.

If it was me, you're in there, might as well change them out.

The Dorman I bought was pretty good. The guy didn't route it correctly. I'll call tomorrow tho, just to price it out.

I feel that way but those aftermarket cv axles don't seem to get good reviews from all the researching i've done. Not many people around to rebuild them either. You know someone around your area Tonyrodz?

Rockauto has the AcDelco versions for $266.89

Tried Raxles but they don't have any.

Extracted a broken exhaust manifold bolt, installed ARP studs, a new manifold gasket, a new valve cover gasket and new coils (everything on a passenger side). Also found a cracked dipstick tube, which is probably a cause of my relatively high LTFT (9 during idle, 6 during highway cruising). Ordered a new dipstick tube and PCV hose, the the old one has become brittle and has cracks.

How bad was it getting those manifolds off so you can pull that out? My other truck is a 06 Chevy HD with the 6.0 and it had an exhaust leak pretty bad about a month ago so I went out there to to see if I could snuggle Mall up because one of them was already on kpop 0

Sorry my phone started tripping out as I was trying to write that post but what I meant to say is that there is no way you can spray paint the door panels and kick panels and it will last. I'd be afraid to do an area that large and have it start flaking off or chipping away

Went to install a new blend door actuator today In the rear.... found out that the actuator could be fine because when i pulled the actuator the rod came out with it. I'll grab pics tomorrow since I'm not done.....


But overall what happened was the rod snapped off the door which made it stay in the down position so only got air would blow. When i pulled the motor the rod fell inside the whole casing. So I spent a good chunk of an hour to an hour and a half figuring out how to take apart the rear ac unit.

I did it found the rod and jb welded it back together. I have no doubt that this thing is solid.


As I was attempting to reinstall everything tonight I could not for the life of me get this son-of-a-***** to line up. So I called it quits and left it alone and I'll finish it in the morning.


I also made a trunk organizer for my police gear. It's made from 2x10s and is 48"x36" with 3 sections. I'm going to sand it and stain it tomorrow and hopefully when I'm done with my ac I'll have a nice clean trunk ready for work Wednesday

I'll snag some pictures for you guys tomorrow

 

[Bombsquad85]

Ac is all back together there were no good pics to take. However I did start painting the dash. I picked a flat metallic iron color looks good so far.

 

[Bombsquad85]

all done



Sorry for the ****** pics I'm no expert lol
