Heck no! If the price is right? Thats all easy stuff, consider yourself lucky you don’t live in the rust belt...

I’m not around my truck this week, but what I suggested “should” be fairly easy. Tee in a quick coupler and add a check valve just before the horn solenoid on the firewall that is just before the horns. The electric side, IIRC the horn button completes the ground side of the circuit? If so you...

I would look into isolating the horn completely from the rest of the air and electrical system. That way you can keep the air tank drains opened/spring brakes engaged and the starter, as well as the rest of the trucks electrical system disconnected…

I checked my 1996 version of the –10 and the on-highway weights (page 1-9) and the key verbiage on the description and data sheet (1-18)we are looking for have already been omitted. I would think the pre CTIS 1984 version should still have them, let me know if you find those pages I will gladly...

I would guess for at least 3 years, 10 months, give or take 3 days…

For some reason I can’t make a link, so I just bumped up my thread for you a few hours ago. It may give you an idea of what you’re looking at even though it was very hard to get pictures that are easy to comprehend. Search “M925 winch control tower repair” and it should pop up, or maybe somebody...

Bump for @ger84

I forgot about the issues with these junk control towers, I’ll see if I can dig up my thread on beefing mine up. This can cause problems of not being able to fully open the spool valve and not achieving full pressure. I did a bunch of modifying to my hydraulic system during my dump install, but...

The pumps will not likely be worn with the little use they see. Pressure test will tell you if you have a problem. If your pressure is under 1700psi, let us know, I can post a link to my dump bed build that covers how to shim the pressure relief higher.

Correct, no shear pin on the hydraulic units that I’m aware of. The only real thing to check is the hydraulic pressure, 1800psi and 1800 engine rpm max IIRC. I have never been very impressed with the power of mine and have a pressure gauge taped in on mine. Similar to your experience, with...

I have no idea if these are hard to prime pumps or if yours is just wore out, but sometimes packing the gears with petroleum jelly or possibly light grease does the trick…

Looks amazing so far! Hope to see it running and pumping fuel soon…[emoji6]

It’s supposed to be a lot warmer the next few days. Might be worth waiting to test them again incase there is a chunk of ice in the brake valve that may just need thawing out.

According to Memphis, front is 18k, and as others alluded to rears are 44k, so 22,000 each on those. A lot of good advice here on other limitations besides the axle capacity.
