Is there any greasing place on the INBOARD lower front suspension? 2wd truck Billm

Still available Bill

You pay shipping but otherwise free

Got these with a parts truck but can't figure out how to put them on properly. They go on the inner wheel ring but not tight Billm

On my 85 720 pickup the head pipe blew thru. When I pulled it off to get welded up I found that it has what appears to be a ceramic coating which I had to grind off to allow for welding. Is the coating a factory standard or an the victim of a cruel joke? That coating is a bear to remove!!

Well, it seems to be fixed! Greased all of the fittings on the front suspension and magically all of the squeeking and clunking stopped. I'm guessing that the truck hadn't been greased for about 30 years from the condition of the plugs hiding the greasing holes but it now drives as nice and quietly as a new truck. Billm

Ok, I'll try that but they are already pretty tight

Well-I pulled the bed off of it today and drove around a bit. Totally quiet, no creaking. Put the bed back on and creaking started again. I'm guessing that it is the pads creaking. I think that I will make up some new pads and see if I can make it quiet. Bill

I'll check it out in the morning Thanks for the suggestions Bill

Occasional clunking while driving. Coming from just behind cab. I've changed out the driveshaft and greased the rear spring bushings. Sounds like a 12" steel bar banging around, can't find anything loose underneath. Any ideas? Bill

I just ordered a new radiator for my 86 720 truck. What came did not fit. Now I realize that I should have ordered one for an 85 truck, not an 86. What they sent me appears to be for an 86.5 (same as D21). I have now ordered an 85 and hope that it fits. Billm

That generic switch works great. Took a bit of trial and error to fine tune it but now works. Billm

NEW, been on my engine for about 3 running minutes. Bought it because I thought that mine was cracked and leaking. Turned out to be the header pipe. Cost me $100 plus shipping. Will sell for $50 plus shipping.$50

I just ordered a generic adjustable vacuum operated switch from Amazon to see if it will work. It is adjustable from 0 to 90 kpa so it should work, we'll see Bill
