Actually, it's not the lean that worries me. What worries me is that I can feel the suspension bottoming out on rough roads. If this is happening...
Thanks for the replies. I have replaced all four spring bushings. The originals were worn to the point where they were very loose. Replacing the...
My 93 FLD 120 has the hockey-stick-type rear springs. They are twisted down. The airbags sit at an angle. It feels like the suspension is...
What y'all have is a cozy, fuzzy club, and I don't fit in. All I wanted was information on torque and turn, and all I've heard is that it can't...
Man, you ain't funny. You're childish, but not funny.
Torque 'em to 100. Then torque "Tighten the bolts to 100 ft lbs, then set it to something like 90 degrees. Start turning it until it flashes 390...
Does it measure angle? 'Scuse me... I see from your post that it does. Now here's what you do, funny man. Get on one of them engines that you...

From the reading I've done so far, I get the idea that the torque angle method is more specific to the fasteners being used than it is to the...
read this Torque-to-Angle/Yield Threaded Fasteners Hulld knows what I'm talking about, and so do I.
Here is what the engineers have to say. Torque-to-Angle/Yield Threaded Fasteners
Thanks for posting that article, Hulld. I just learned something valuable.
"Answer that I want to hear?" Not even close. Information that I need is more like it.
I don't have a 3/4" drive torque wrench, and it's more than a matter of "sticking it on there and givin' a pull." The engine is in the truck. I'll...
I have a question for you. Let's suppose I had one of those large torque wrenches, which I don't, and let's further suppose I had an endless...
I wish I would have had a fuel pressure gauge. There is another matter. The tanks were at half full or less, which means that there was a lot of...
Cool! You're a diesel mechanic by trade? Sometimes I wish I had chosen that path or something other than buying my own truck, but I'm 73 years old...
Actually, torquing by degrees is more accurate than torquing by ft. lbs. The method I described is very accurate. Think about it for a moment. A...
I have a 1/2 in. drive torque wrench. Half inch drive won't torque to 400 ft. lbs. I need to find out how much torque with the half inch, then...
