Re: Installing Starter motor
Is the black part that is attached to the jack, a plastic ABS fitting.? It looks like a coupler for (4"?) ABS pipe?

Re: Tinnertman Nuts
I think they were only put on there on the assembly line to keep the drums from falling off until the wheels were mounted.
I agree with you, they aren't needed now.

Re: Installing Truck Oil Filter Later
The new threads at the top of the "studs" are the right length so I can tighten the nuts down and lock them at the bottom of the threads with red Loctite, they are now basically bolts. They will be...
