There’s a video on YouTube of one of the parades. Three of my trucks are at the 41:40 time stamp: https://www.youtube.com/live/U8gl-Pqa8RE?si=mtGOYTIt7R88GQ1u

I missed that, but it looks like white walls to me.

And a few more:

I could probably make this a standalone post but it fits in here so nicely. Anyway, Cheyenne Frontier Days is almost over for 2025. It was a busy time. Three days with Fort DA Russell Days, four downtown parades and one stadium parade. Lots of pictures!

Outstanding!

Not sure if I posted these. They were from a couple years ago. Hope to have them in this years parades and static displays.

See figure one. TM 2815-237-34P. You’ll probably need the engine serial number to get the correct one.

Not sure. I’ve not used this method before. I guess it depends on the condition of the parts. If they’re in good condition, it should help clean them up. If any of the parts are breaking down, i.e. cracks in the soft parts, it won’t do any good. In my experience, silicone spray won’t rejuvenate...

The set up you are looking at seems to fit the bill. I personally don’t use that much equipment. A simple brake bleeder, a wrench to fit on the bleeder fitting and a container to catch fluid. Start by filling the brake system. Then pump the brakes a few times to try and build up pressure. Next...

I’d recommend you not worry about adding any more brake fluid until you fix the leak. Personally, I won’t drive my trucks with leaking brakes. I had a sudden complete brake failure because I didn’t fully understand the brake system. Your call, regardless the brakes need a full inspection and...

Nice!

Looks good to me. I’ve changed several of these. It’s always messy. I quit using rubber gloves (actually nitrile from HF) because they never last but a few minutes.

The world will be sadder if we lose you Rusty. As far as wasting time, in my case, what else would I be doing? Better yet, what would I rather be doing? I can’t think of anything better than tinkering around my shop and the multiple projects that will bring me a sense of satisfaction. Yes, many...
