Maintaining a NV3500

[sewlow]

Molybdenum disulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula MoS 2.

The compound is classified as a metal dichalcogenide. It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal ore for molybdenum. (MoS 4.) It is relatively unreactive. It is unaffected by dilute acids and oxygen. In appearance and feel, molybdenum disulfide is similar to graphite. It is widely used as a lubricant because of its low friction properties and robustness.

Torque specs for the fill/drain plugs is 27 ft. lb.s

The RTV is applied to the threads of the drain/fill plugs. Helps to prevent any weeping of the plugs.

How much fluid is supposed to be in the clutch master cylinder?

Also my truck makes a bit of grinding noise when I release the clutch on downshifts, I'm hoping it's my clutch is worn out, I believe it's original and has almost 245,000km on it, any ideas?

I did these tests here and it grinded in both of them [emoji17]
