    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Probably your dog clutches , if you Google pics of those , they eventually will round and that clunk you are feeling is when they slip to the next tooth. Not a terribly hard job , just getting the right tools and parts may be the real problem though, as you mention. I "believe" on certain...

    Erratic tachomether

    Complete longshot here. Do you have points ? I had defective point once and it made my boat barely run and my tach was all over the place. Basically one of the rivets in the points came came lose and was wobbling around on the arm. This is a video I made once I finally found out the...

    Erratic tachomether

    How is your actual ground cable ? The big one from engine block to battery post ? Those can get corroded big time. Especially when auto style cable is used. When this happens does the rpm and engine noise change at all, even in the slightest ? When mine was happening , not only were the gauges...

    Erratic tachomether

    Agreed. I had this happen a few years ago on my boat as well. I just spent an hour cleaning up every ground that I could find. I don't know exactly which one fixed it, but after cleaning them all up, that problem went away.

    Wheel bearings - old Dodge motorhome

    Yeah , the need for a specialty socket like that scares me a bit. The end of that looks very similar to the one for my bronco , the bronco one is just way shorter.

    Wheel bearings - old Dodge motorhome

    I just crawled all over around the axle and can't find a tag any where . I would love to identify it ahead of time so that I can order seals before ripping it apart.

    Wheel bearings - old Dodge motorhome

    This is all I can find in the owners manual, which of course doesn't cover much.. It just mentions full floating vs semi floating and I've never messed with any kind of wild axles like that . So I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

    2014 GMC Sierra AC

    Hey Scott , FYI on the acetone . I did this exact thing 2 years ago on my 91 bronco , the interwebs says don't use acetone , even though its a great flush , once you get the vacuum pump on there its very volatile and the fumes / pump could make everything go boom . It's probably overly...

    76 OMC 175 starting

    One other way to safely run a stringer on the hose . Do a quick google search on " prestone flush and fill kit" any auto parts store has it. It's basically a T with a hose cap . You can install that T on the hose coming from the intermediate up to the thermostat housing . That hose will be on...

    76 OMC 175 starting

    When it comes to shifting , do what you can to get the idle as low as possible on the carb and gently shift into gear don't jam the the throttle with those . Same goes for tilt ! Gently tap the drive down , don't hold the switch down..... If you ram it down you WILL break stuff I learned...
