2005 T800 Around 350,000 miles and 14K hours.

[ATTACH] I have had great luck starting with 3M rubbing compound and then finishing with 3M Perfect-it EX. Expensive but works great. For my...
The mechanic that worked on my truck had a hunch that it could be the driveline. He pulled it and sent it to a shop that I believe was able to...
I had a T800 with a slight vibration when on the throttle. Turned out to be a very slightly bent driveline.
Yes, unbolt and plug airlines. It will be heavy so make sure you have a way to support it as you unbolt it. If it’s been on the truck a while...
