Lucas also carries a green colored grease that is much thinner than the red tacky they carry. What’s strange is that it is labeled as #2.
I personally grease my truck every 10,000 miles, although sometimes I go a little over. Yes, some joints do expel a little bit of water. I haven’t...
Check your shocks and torque rods for loose bolts or worn bushings. You may have to take out your shocks to check that they still work. Leaky...

I compared the torque spec list you posted for standard bolts, and they appear to match grade 8 (strength) bolts with the thread pitch number on...
I’ve seen many trailers with mud flaps behind the DOT bumper and a gap of about 6 feet from the tire. How does this make any sense? Also, the very...
Now that you mention it, it would make sense that they upgraded my one box to GHG14. It’s good to know.
About the primer pump to prime the fuel system, well, I finally learned how to prime the fuel system the basic way without any tools other than a...
I don’t have a CAT engine, but I’ve gotten my manuals from a site called MyPowerManual. There were cheap. I see there are 2 or maybe 3 manuals,...

I don’t think it’s engine oil and I don’t remember it smelling like oil, but perhaps it’s some other kind of oil. There is no leak, though. This...
This is the small cover directly under the flywheel housing on a DD15 engine. Is this brown substance normal, or could something be leaking?
As a disclaimer, I want to say that this work is physically demanding, especially for a newbie who doesn’t know the proper techniques in the whole...
So the method I ended up using was wood and napkins to protect the teeth and my trailer landing gear as a vise. I was getting a little worried...
Yeah, you’re going to have to clean the engine a bit to get a better look. It can be the air compressor or the fuel pump.
Your best bet is to get under your truck and take a picture of your transmission tag, which will have your transmission make, model, serial...
Try your fuse box.
What’s the engine? I’m reading that the air compressor gear for a DD15 engine will need 155 to 185 lb·ft. It also says that the threads are...
