Hello everyone. I wanted to share with all of my SoCal members. If you are looking to update your middle seats the city of L.A. is auctioning off another pallet of Ford Explorer middle row seats. I paid $50.00 for 16 seats a few months back. Here is the posting for the auction. Public Surplus...

Dang, thank you all. I will post if or when I find anything.

To all of you. Thanks. I had no idea about check valves. And procedure for releasing air breaks. I have the operation manual. And all the PDF files. But most of this stuff I am not finding in a book. It’s all from the people that drive them.

Soapy water. Freaking genius! I’m working on things I can see, fixing what looks old (everything looks old). This truck is so cool but man was it neglected. And after yesterday, hearing the air leaks, it’s shined a light onto what I can’t see, or hear. Thank you all

I have it hooked up to the blue side.

Did not use the red side. Wheel chocks are now on the list, thank you for that.

Question. Has anyone ever hooked an air compressor up to your truck before, without the engine running? So, I have had the cab tilted fwd for over a week, been working on the engine area. Well, I made a quick disconnect air chuck an attached it to the front air supply. Because I wanted to lower...

Also, I had to remove the harmonic balancer to change the water pump belt. It had 4 of the 6 bolts finger tight.! Not joking. Now I...

Oh how I love theee 3116. Though you may be long in the tooth like the 7.3. You still carry the name CAT with style and ease. Best of all, no computer to say, "Sorry Joey", whatever plans you may have had, we will not be going. Oh how I love my 3116..... How was that?

I will do that. Thank you.

My wheel has a few cracks in it. It still works fine, as a wheel. Just wondering if anyone has changed there's or has any recommendations?

Oil Line of Death!!!! OK. I have not seen that one yet but now I am looking. Just watched. I like that guy's videos. And thank you for the heads up. I will get on that first thing tomorrow. And any "Must Change" items anyone can think of please let me know. Thank you all.

Thank you for the information. I will be looking all over the engine and vehicle for anything that resembles that sticker.

Hello all. Next on my list is a better steering wheel. Have any of you changed yours? I have been watching lots of videos on YouTube, about different updates and upgrades. I like Fastidious Restomods and his truck Abel. He has lots of great videos. I am also looking into side mirror updates...

OK. I have some work to do then. Thank you all. I will be posting as I go. Keeping everyone in the loop.
