I replaced the air operated Brake light switch and it worked out just fine. I'm glad the brakes lights are back and working. I spent most of the day yesterday working on the Davit. The two hold down locking bolts were both rusty and frozen. On the ISO beds the Davit it mounted in the bed. The...

It looks like the Cab and Cargo cover issues have been resolved the the help of Bruce and Mark. Both Cab and Cargo Covers look just fantastic......... Thanks Guys, C'dub

Hey Chris, Thanks so much for the advice.......I aired her up, turned on the park lights with battery On......I tapped on the switch and the stop lights went out....and lasted for the trip down to the steam cleaner and when I got back the stop lights were back on...Hahaha........Looks like I'll...

Hi Bruce, I'm sure your right. Thanks so much for leading me in the right direction. I'm just glad she drove so well at 60-65 and I wasn't even pushing her at the least.....I really must watch my RPM's so I don't over speed the engine. Cheers, C'dub

Hi Bruce, That could be a very good reason the speedo is off calibration because of the size of the tires. I know one of the main differences between the M925 and the A1 is the tires, but I'm basing it an A1 by the data plate in the cab. It is a little different then most I've seen. I'm just...

Got it............... [thumbzup]

Thanks Chris, I'll check it out.......I wonder if one of the wires was disconnected during the repaires, because it was working fine when I droped it off......or I'll just tap on the air switch or replace it..... Gona check the manuals now....... Thanks Again, C'dub

She drove home very well, crusing at 60-65 so my wife says (in her Honda Civic). My speedo was saying 55-60 with the RPS's at 1900. The stearing was tight and she never wondered in the lane at all. But.........I noticed the brakes lights staying ON..........darn...!!! just something else to...

Sharleen has arrived back home again....finally........ :D Now it's back to the work at hand and getting her ready for the MTA summer picnic this Saturday....... This will be my first picnic with the MTA boys and I'll shoot many pic for all to see. I just got a Woodland Camo Cargo Cover a...

Hi Chris, I just talked with the mechanic last night and he said Sharleen should be done tonight and tomorrow he's taking her out for a test ride and breaking in of the engine. I should be picking Sharleen up on Friday morning. I just can't wait....... :D Cheers, Cdub

PM sent............. seya, C'dub

Hi Chris, From what the mechanic said that the water in the oil could only have been caused by the liner " O " ring going bad in two of the cylinders not the head gasket....just doesn't work that way. The excessive smoke and blow by was caused by bad rings on two of the pistons. I don't believe...

Well it looks like it could have been done differently and much cheaper but I decided to go the hole nine yards with a complete overhaul with genuine Cummins Parts. The overhaul kit from Cummins included new liners, pistons, rings,re-manufactured heads from Cummins, injectors, wrist pins, and...

Well Sharlene was dropped off at the engine mechanic today. She wouldn't get checked out until Monday........ We drove about 45 miles with out a hitch. Gages were reading 50 psi for the oil, 220f for the engine temp and the trans was running about 125-150f. I tried to keep the speed down to...

So far with the oil and new filter......fuel tank drained and new fuel filter and a couple of peck cocks.......... " Sharlene " is definitely born again HARD.......!!! Sharlene fired right up and gave a little cough until she got a taste of the new fuel. She loved the new oil running through...

Yea, no problem with the Big hole, or the Big plug......... I should have used a BIG FUNNEL......hahahahahah.... :oops: Wow....I never saw a funnel fill up so fast......that oil was like Molasis. C'dub

Well..........this is going to be good...........I wish I had my camera I was all set to change the oil Sunday afternoon. I had my five gallon pails and drain pan just in case with a few oil rags for those little oil drip in the driveway. Well......I got the funnel in the catch can and...

The white smoke smells like antifreeze and there is oil leaking out of the head where it meets up with the exhaust manifold on the right side rear head. There is no sign of any oil leaking on the left side of the motor what so ever.....dry as a bone........ The truck starts in a flash of a...

Hi Chris, Glad you asked...... This is the reason for starting the systems operations maintenance checks. The diesel mechanic friend of a friend stopped by with his service truck to take a look at what the problem may be. He hasn't ruled out the head gasket but has an open mind on how things...
