    Bleeding ZF-6 clutch hydraulics

    There is a bleeder screw on the fender side of the master cylinder on the firewall if it still has air in it after pumping the holy hell out of it.

    Why do carriers/shippers do this?

    That pallet that went right past your place most likely went by in the middle of the night on it's way to a terminal to be loaded on the truck for delivery in the morning. Just like he said, there's way more to it than most people see. I'm one of those a-holes that drive right by peoples shops...

    State of the Union Adress

    They all have their good and bad parts, but any one of them would be 10 times better than what we have now. This D-bag just needs to go... This is exactly why I won't watch him speak...:rolleyes: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/havent-we-heard_618462.html

    Motorcycle Hauler on Front of 2009 Duramax

    I'm not arguing with you just stating my opinion, and since 75% of my job is hauling oversize and overweight I have a pretty good understanding of how weight and weight transfer is supposed to work..... :thumb: IMO.... If a fifth wheel hitch is directly over or behind the center of the rear...

    Motorcycle Hauler on Front of 2009 Duramax

    I have always put the ball a few inches in front of the rear axle. If it's in front of the rear axle how would it be taking weight off the front or make it take weight off the front? You could put the hitch right in between the bed and cab and it would still have the see saw effect when taking...

    front locker?

    Here is an old thread with a little info about lockers in it. If you're looking to daily drive it and want to keep your mileage up, make sure you read my post in that thread. :thumb: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9568

    iPhone @ Verizon....? More likely than you think....

    Well I never really gave much thought to needing my phone to look for dinner but I took a quick look in the android market and downloaded an app that pops up every food joint in my town and with one tap of the screen pizza hut answered the phone...:rofl: I don't know how much easier an iPhone...

    iPhone @ Verizon....? More likely than you think....

    I still don't get the big deal with everyone dying to get the IPhone. What can they do so great that I can't on my Droid???

    amateur engine pull?

    I agree and a 1" works even better, but from the sound of his tool selection I don't figure he has a 3/4" gun and a big compressor to run it laying around. Just trying to say where there's a will there's a way...:angel:

    amateur engine pull?

    Even if you need to replace the water pump or want to just because you're there, you don't need the flywheel tool, I use a half inch breakover bar in one of the holes in the flywheel. It works perfectly fine for loosening and re-torquing the damper bolt.

    amateur engine pull?

    If you pull everything off the front of the engine(both acc mounting brackets, fan hub, and damper) while it's in the truck it will come out without taking the core support out of it but it's really tight and hard to do by yourself, so says a few scratches in my firewall and down pipe, and it's...

    Motorcycle Hauler on Front of 2009 Duramax

    I see this is an old thread, but his pics are of a fifth wheel which means it puts weight ON the front not pull it off. :thumb:

    Anyone here been to FrontSight?

    I paid $89 a piece for the ones I bought, just have to be patient and wait for the deals to pop up. I missed my chance at the $100,000 lifetime membership for $1900 a couple weeks ago. To bad I didn't have a little extra cash laying around because some of those other courses look like an awful...

    Anyone here been to FrontSight?

    I have four of those certificates. Not sure when I'm gonna get out there for it, but I can't wait either. It sounds like a blast from the few people I've talked to that have been there. Mine are for the 4 day handgun course, but I plan to do the practical shotgun and rifle, and maybe the...

    I got a new shooter

    I have an XDm 9mm. So far no problems at all, it's a great weapon for sure and I have no regrets at all from going with the XDm. I'm going to get a 40 sometime in the future but don't know if I'll go with another Springfield or something different this time. I carry a Taurus Millenium Pro PT145...
