    '01 crew 7.3L longbed---New mbryson project....(like I needed another?)

    I love the 7.3, and if you find a good deal you just have to buy it... You have told me several times how much you liked your old 7.3 more than your dodge so i'm sure you will be happy. Mine just turned 180k, it is a beast and I love it the 4 or 5 times a year when I drive it.

    Subaru Outbacks

    Done a ton of Subaru Head gaskets and would never even think of doing them in the car, That's crazy!! too much risk for me, I would hate to have to do the job twice. I buy every thing off of Rock Auto for them (or used too) Pull the engine and do them both, have the heads machined and check...

    Need bearings pressed off/on D44 axle shaft

    I would never think a slight cut where the retainer is would be a problem and I have spent a lot of years dealing with metals and finite metal analysis. I guess if they went really deep with the cut it could be a problem, and if they cut into the area where the bearing was also, but most of...

    Need bearings pressed off/on D44 axle shaft

    Slot shouldn't be a bid deal because of the location, but that sucks for sure.. usually when you get close to through the retainer it breaks because it is in tension. Rookie move for sure, just goes to show that even a big name shop is only as good as the people it employees.

    How about a Shop and Fabrication Area on the forum?

    Isn't that a Toyota... I like the hood hold down though.

    Diamond Fork Hotsprings road closed?

    I know they have closed the sheep creek side and that usually means diamond fork is closed also.

    Need bearings pressed off/on D44 axle shaft

    If you are headed anywhere south you could drop them off at my house and Ill press them on, there are a bunch of dogs up Sheep Creek and I don't have any time to hunt right now so you could make some money and get them pressed on at the same time.

    Broken stud extraction

    There is a pretty good chance they will just turn out if you can put some pressure on them. I would get some spray lube in the holes and let it sit for a few hours and see if a small regular screwdriver will get them moving. I would guess I have pulled 50 plus bolts out of toyotas that were...

    Broken stud extraction

    That sucks Kevin, were the bolts just missing and you saw them stuck in the head or did they break from trying to pull them?

    Money to Play with

    We bought a Vacation Rental in Kanab 2 years ago and was a little slow getting it on the rental market but I put it on 2 websites last month and have rented it 12 nights in the last 4 weeks at $118 a month in the slow season. We have it rented in July for a week already and have gotten several...

    Off Road Tires

    Truck tires are ok, but I would just skip over them and go with something that will at least work offroad. I would get the TerminatorATV/UTV tires.....
