    Lucas oil makes a contact cleaner. Its the shit but it does leave something behind. Not as much as a residue but a dry coating. Used it to clean parts before painting and it was a mess.

    Well this sucks, pulled my neutral safety switch to clean it just to find out it's a sealed unit and costs $200.

    So my 'stop' fuse has blown twice today which doesn't allow me to shift into drive. What should I check to fix the problem?

    I noticed two wires coming from my taillight probably used for a camper. Would one of those touching the metal of my truck blow the fuse?

    Actually, that looks like plenty of clearance to me. No need to run a wheel spacer.

    Cleaned the underside of my hood today. It could get cleaner if I use 91% alcohol or some other harsher cleaner. Maybe another time. For now, I'm satisfied.

    No compression occurs at the top of the wheel/tire. You'll be fine.

    Without a doubt. This used to happen to me with my old ford ranger. Two wires that were run for a camper by the previous owner kept shorting on the rear bumper.

    Rebuilt one of my Camburgs today. Leaked more than I realized and threw the wear band and an o-ring and chewed them up internally. Got some nice metal on metal action. Good thing I had some spare internals. Nervous to check the other one now.

    why not just change the seal and be done? you add thicker gear oil to slow the leak.

    If your looking for an excuse, well, sure. It would be a bit simpler and cheaper just to fix the seal tho. :rofl:
