I can't commit to being in teh parade as I don't think my truck will be driveable yet but I will at least view the parade. Thanks for sharing.

I got about half the dome light install completed this week after it got too dark to work on the wheel bearings. My deuce doesn't have the front center holes for the cab top, so it's currently not fully bolted down. I also need to do the wiring. I may go ahead and install a 24v to 12v 800w...

I've got access to a 4 axis CNC machine here at work, though I'm certainly not good at CNC. I'm just starting the lesson program required to even be able to touch them. I need to crawl under my truck and check out where we could possibly make milling it easier. I'm particularly concerned...

Thanks! Its certainly a labor of love. My wife isn’t convinced that it’s a good idea, but idle hands or something like that!

Got the drivers side axle u joint replaced and the whole side put back together. I didn’t have any leftover parts so it must be okay!

Welcome from the Woondinville area. Be warned that you're likely to not stop at just one..

While waiting on the U-joints to arrive, which will be today!, I worked on a different project. I'm working on improving nighttime visibility of the truck and so have put reflectors on the front bumper but I also wanted to have something the sides of the truck at the front. I bought some...

Trying to use that GI Bill to complete my Degree in IT Management, it'll hopefully help me at my actual job... though with as many hours as I'm spending working on the deuce, my wife might say that it's my real job!.. We should definitely find some time to drool over trucks.. err I mean hang...

Craig and I were attempting to do something similar last year with a DSE 710. I know he got at least the remote start functions working for a 003A. We were attempting to modify his work for use on an 803 but both of our lives took our attention elsewhere. I do think he has a thread on his...

I've been slowly working on getting the old gal back up and running. Between work and night-college, I'm busy! Got the drivers side torn apart and mostly cleaned out. I'm sandblasting and repainting pretty much everything that needs it becuase it was a mess of rust in there. I know i should...

Not much help here, but I just worked with a generator installation company to recently replace my old breaker system that had a Main and a generator Subpanel. I was trying to get an ATS capable main breaker panel but ran into legal issues. They couldn't legally install a ATS without load...

Welcome!

I used my sandblaster on the first airpack, wanted to see what the electrolysis would do. it was definitely easier!

I started bending brake lines for the front axle last night. Hoping to start tearing apart front hubs this week to clean/inspect/replace wheel cylinders, replace front boots, and repack wheel bearings. I also played with using electrolysis to clean up a slave cylinder.

Thanks! I wish I'd have known that before I ordered two new switches. :/ The SMARPI for dual-circuit still notes using the hydraulic stop switches. I did find the PSMAG sheet on updating and have ordered the kits from Eriks. I did find that there is a small conical rubber oring between my...

Got the first airpack rebuilt finally. I ended up going with 80 grit glass media from HF , changing from 12 grit walnut shell that HF also sells. It works much better. I also installed an inline desiccant dryer at the sandblasting cabinet to help with media clumping...

I've begun work on rebuilding my brake system, much to my wife's dismay when she viewed the receipts for parts and tools. I bought a cheapo sandblasting cabinent at HF. I figured it'd be a good start for $112. I've already ordered a new gun, the one in the kit sucks. (or rather it doesn't...

I got a chance to briefly troubleshoot my dash Brake light this morning. It illuminates if I have the parking brake set, but did not illuminate during complete brake failure. I do have a dual circuit MC. I took the wire off of the proportioning valve and determined it's a ground type system...

I think these have the petcock between fuel filters 2 and three, similiar to a LDT right? if so , did you bleed there? drivers side, back, side of engine. If you're getting fuel there, with the in tank pump, I'd crack an injetor line open on the block side and see if you get any fuel out...

Hey Scar, don't feel bad, I wonder if it ever actually works, even if the documentation says it's supposed to. I'll move this discussion to my thread to not bloat this one more. Looks like it's based on a ground out on loss of pressure to illuminate, so maybe my switches on back of airpacks are...
