Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I crawled back under my van again.
Only after I paid $212 for 2 new u-joints and 2 new weights welded onto my driveshaft.
Installing a driveshaft is much easier than removing one that has been...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I was at Jeremiah's, but I pulled the driveshaft in Brush and am now in North Platte, Neb.
Next time I'm that way (maybe Aug?) we should get together if you are in town.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I crawled under my SMB ---- Why? you might ask.
The van developed a mild vibration and rumbling noise under certain condition.
It was fine cruising down the road; it was fine while...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Replaced my house batteries.
Damn, AGM batteries are pricey! My rear dinette has to come apart to get to the batteries. 4 hours, including driving to get the batteries and reassembly.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Installed 'new' FICM with Atlas 40 tune. New air filter at same time. I'll bet I could do it in less than 2 hours next time. Don't you just love a learning curve?
Seems quicker off the line,...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Finally pulled the FICM out. It is still good, but I want to upgrade and keep this one as an emergency spare. I couldn't order the new unit until I proved to myself that I could pull this one out.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Replaced the VSM (Vehicle Security Module). The old one started randomly locking/unlocking the power door locks - really makes you jump in the middle of the night! Pulled fuse F2.23 from the fuse box...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Improvements to the shop air compressor are for the SMB, right?
Added a solenoid to the compressor output:

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I would be concerned about the bungee in an accident. No way will it hold a partially full container in place in an accident. That could be a major problem in an already bad situation. A secure metal...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
New turbo. After 7 years and 80K on the rebuilt unit. Runs about the same, but this never sticks like the old one did sometimes. Sealed a couple of exhaust leaks at the same time.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I used the standard Ford coolant, also known as Zerex G05.
A lot of diesel guys swear at that coolant, but I've had no problems and it is too much trouble to flush it out completely and switch to...
