thanks for the video!!! Man we went round and round trying to get this stupid thing off. So headed to Harbor Freight this morning. Picked up a set of cheap pullers. Grabbed the 6". It worked ok but kept slipping. I put grooves in the fingers. Game changer. Put a lip on each finger to grab and that made all the difference.
How is it running after doing the fix? Kind of made me nervous to throw a new cam in there when the old cam lobe is all ate up. Thinking all that ground up material from the cam lobe was likely to have worked it’s way into the cam bearings somewhat. Son’s truck, ex wife’s money…. Decided to just get a new reman motor.
The truck now has 16k more miles since new cam. When I tore it down I inspected the cylinders and still had nice cross hatching and no lips. I have ran mobile 1 synthetic since day one. I changed out the oil pump and changed and flushed the oil 3 times after work. It’s running better and sounds better than when it was new. I guess I caught it before any damage. 3k total including the delete and tune.
Great spot, and finds. I have the Abe Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin medal I dug in Maine, pretty cool to see one of the other medals. Yours is the only other one ive seen dug
I'm in Butte Larose, St. Martin Parish. I'm 51 and just ordered my first detector, a Nokta Makro Simplex. I have some places in mind and hope to get permission. Until then, I'll be learning this new hobby and detector. Are there clubs here? I moved here from Denham Springs after the flood. We got hammered.
Thanks. I used that puller but my 1 hook kept slipping. Instead I took each jaw off. put the jaw in the halfmoon holes sideways and rotated 90degrees so it was straight. once all claws were in i reassembled the puller in place and to the furthest holes in the claw, so I could fit my puller in between the claws. puller bolt was then too short so just put a deep socket on the crankshaft side to give the bolt more reach. came off like butter.

I have the same color car and noticed only half my 3rd light works, which is annoying me now that I know that. This is my 2nd light, original totally died so got the whole license plate holder n all off eBay for $50 few years back. Also the whole plate holder n all is black which really offsets the rear and looks great! But now I know how to take the light apart without breaking everything.
Seven years later and your post is still saving people money, can't beat that. Thank you. The nearest Autozone is about an hour me, so I bought the led strips at WalMart. Probably about an inch short on each side, but didn't make a difference, nice n bright. Had to make a couple of tweaks, but nothing major.
I worked for Peterbilt several years and was in charge of all maintenance on the LSU truck. Fun times attending all the games and out of state games. LSU truck was my first priority. Geaux Tigers!
É isso aí amigo detectorista. Pois eu também tenho um canal no RU-vid: Leon detectorismo. E seu vídeo me dá mais ânimo e coragem pra continuar essa aventura. Pois se for possível se escreva no meu canal: Leon detectorismo. Obrigado! Que DEUS abençoe sempre sua vida! Em nome do senhor e salvador Jesus Cristo.
I'm gonna try it, it the 5th ticket I get for not wanting to pay 450 to replace it.. pray this works for me.. can't believe they didn't just make it to replace the bulb 🤦♀️😤😤
Back when I made this video you could buy the the whole light but insanely high. Just take your time separating the housing. Hardest part. Let us know how it came out?
@@LaRelicHunter I did it, took apart with heat gun. But the led lights I got didn't work 😕 😪 I got to different ones solid red and the multiple colors. No luck 😪
@@SuperBigdaddyjohn nope nothing special just an LED strip light. You can use white lights since the lens is red or use red for that bright red look. Hardest part is separating the light housing. Take your time with it. A heat gun and patients.
There is a really big mound in Lafitte. People built a grave yard around it and someone put a few graves on the top of it. There is a big live oak growing on it , it has to be pretty old. Kinda sucks that a graveyard was put around it.
May I ask what areas are y’all detecting in? I live near Labadiville and I understand there was a battle or something near here that pushed the troops back to Thibodaux and I’ve been wanting to go in the sugar cane fields and try but I haven’t built up the confidence yet.
Hey Bill Yes your in a great area. Battle of the 4 crossings and George’s landing are great spots to start near you. Make sure to ask permission from the farmers. Have not been there in a while but one of the farmers is Randy and at George’s is mr Brian H.
Help a New Orleans good fella out I’ll take one of your throw sway fields anything I have found tremendous things in New Orleans but I bet there’s nothing like hot in the field a plowed field that is I’m used to hitting that hard dirt or wherever I can that’s public property but I do quite well from French cannonballs to 3 8 reales name it but I hunt often and I hunt hard. I will Metal Detect for hours just if there’s a possibility that there’s a confederate bullet because all I’ve gotten is dropped three wranglers but there’s nothing more beautiful than that smooth confederate bullet. If you feeling good one dayAnd you wanna throw this good old boy a bone please think about me I don’t drink (anymore) but I’ll bring y’all a quesadilla you know how we do it
Look at the trees around the hole , 3 feet up from the ground is obvious that's tree trunk showing, hence I seriously doubt a college having a blast license in the first place and all have a archeological classes that hands on training, I have seen many burial mounds in Arkansas exactly the same way from greedy diggers, but hate to say it somebody done dug it
CAUTION! I learned the hard way that doing this with a nylon retainer on the intermediate oil pump drive shaft can break the retainer and have the intermediate shaft come out with the priming tool.
Hey man, I live in Lafayette, if ya ever need some company, I’m down to meet y’all. Got me a Simplex+. Really want to find some old stuff and learn where the cool places are.
Do not attempt this if someone is still having/reading in 2021. Glue on the top side is not reachable and you will just end up wasting time and potentially breaking the plastic
I can say this man! Take a good look at your hands and I bet no man ever accused you of being lazy! Those hands look like mine! Hard work and sweat on the brow. Getter done. That and I hate gloves!
