You Go MarkT!!!

yes to elec. cleaner.. (Contact Cleaner) that is sensor safe..

I didnt care for the di-electric grease either..

ok

just for kicks... switch the wires on the EUP.. I'm curious.. I assume valve adjustment was done by the book??

how do the plugs on the EECU look? are the pins dirty?

Thank you Mech..

5# hammer is good enough..

so you are getting an 8-9 code? are you also getting a 9-2 code? I preach this almost weekly here,,,,, ground's - ground's - ground's..

with the Blue can looking tool that i have.. you put a small bead of RTV on the back side of the wear ring, and by-hand,, push it on to the spindle, then the tool , with the correct head,, ( tool numbers are printed on the Stemco seal box), and use a mallet against the tool, to drive the wear ring on to the spindle.. remove the tool, wipe off ALL excess RTV, rub the ring with gear oil, for the install.. set the seal in the hub,(with the correct installer) then, install the hub.. Its the same as any other hub install.. You cannot use the wear ring with any seal due to seal I.D. it is a matched set.. I know many of you know exactly how to install a wheel seal, I'm just posting for those that may not have a vast knowledge of the different ways.. MACKS, as far as using heat,,, I expect it is done buy guys with good skills... unlike whoever installed the wear ring in the picture..

So this is my Stemco Tool set... Yes there is light rust on them,, never mind, I clean them before using them.. But the blue can looking tool is what is used, with the correct head, to install the wear ring you posted.. They are not to be installed with a hammer..

I like the Stemco 2 pc. seal.. You need the proper seal and wear ring drivers!!!!!!!!!! Stemco does make a Voyager series that is plastic and rubber, and I have had good service from them.. Now,,,, If the area on the spindle were the seal goes is comprimised, or mabey someone, just split that seal ring with a chisel, and they went right through to the spindle and made a cut,,,, well,, your choices are slim. the Stemco 2 pc. is the way to go, with a KISS of RTV inside the wear ring before install.. If you want to see a picture of the tool, I have the tool and the heads, I can post a picture... Now, back to what FJH said, He is right, those seals are really good.. Spindle condition will be MY question.. Pictures are always welcomed...

I'm glad you saw this DCW..

BobWhite, I bent the hood by accident. My hinges are worn out. I forgot to push in before pushing down.. My 76 C-10 has the braces on it, and the 81 C-10 is perfect.. Hell, Old Blue is a homemade truck made with 3 trucks.. it's my local work horse.. 👍

Hopefully he uses the steel lifters...

After reading this bulletin, I dislike ceramic lifters even more..

Ok.. that makes sense..

Those stubby trunnion bars are new to me.. I wonder how they get installed.. the 4or5 of them I had replaced, I used axle surgeon.. parts and labor was $1500.00. but this was also over 5 years ago.. they put the whole bar in with welded on clamps..

I didn't bite because the only time I put rivets in a rocker arm was on an early E-Tech for the top oil feed update.. I'm curious, and expect to learn something. Sure would like pics of the parts list and the rocker shaft assembly... And pics of the rivets..

He may have an RD with an out of adjusted hood.. ??

Oops..

MACKS,, ''You the man''.... That is the answer the 'poster' needed... all he needs is another top bearing cover and o-ring, and he can cap that lower counter shaft.

yes, thats a high dollar tool that grabs the snap ring.. you can grind a cheapo jaw puller down, and use a lady slipper bar (with care) to start the bearing out a bit or all the way as long as you are not gouging the housing. you can put a peice of sheet metal under the bar for protection. anyway.. those Kent Moore tools are crazy high priced...

Your not crazy Mech.. Like I said earlier,,, you have so much knowledge, it takes a minute to find what your looking for.. 🍻

they do.. a 2 jaw puller can remove the bearings... its coming back to me now..
