Got it. Thanks for the further clarification. Usually I'm not that thick. Guess I just live without or find some other solution.

Good to know. I do (did) like having the detent to keep the door from closing when parked on an incline. If I could buy a used one for a reasonable price - I’d go that route.

@wheelspinner - I am in need of the driver side metal door stop (the one that is at the bottom of the door). I'd be happy to buy one off of your smashed A1 cab if it is still on there. I've pasted a picture below of mine (the spring steel broke at the detent).

Is that the A0014740JB Leece-Neville, or is it some other model?

I think I did a bad job explaining this. I added an air quick connect to my wet tank (see below). I often use my shop air (which does not go through an air dryer) to charge my air tanks before I start my truck to avoid the annoying beep of the low air alarm. I now think this is introducing...

I have some air leaks that I need to chase in the spring. I added an external air port (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/beginning-the-journey.208604/post-2462875) and I have been using this external air to charge the air system so I don’t have to deal with air alarm. Perhaps this is...

Thank you!

My experience so far has been: Cold compacted snow: Good (and better when aired down) Deep uncompacted snow: Bad - my truck digs holes really quickly; if it is much past he differential depth wise - I stay away Shallow uncompacted snow: Good - I’ve found about 2 1/2’ is about as deep as I can...

Confirmation question. All of the cage bolt openings should have dust covers on them correct?

Good suggestion.

There is probably 200lbs of ice on the undercarriage/superstructure of my truck. I’ve parked it in the garage which is marginally above freezing so it will melt off over the coming several days but I’m heading home so will just have to deal with it next time I come up - I expect that the brake...

Thanks. Helpful video.

It was less than 12 hours between driving it so I don’t think it was rust. I did have it lock up on me last spring once after sitting for a few weeks and that I do think was rust, but this time I don’t think there is enough time for rust to form (and also the chemical oxidation of iron is...

Just to close the loop on my ABS issue. I started my truck the day after the ABS light came on and let it warm up for about 15 minutes - it stayed on the whole time. I then started driving it an after about 5 minutes the ABS light self cleared and stayed off. I’ve driven it 4 or 5 times since...

Truck is a 2003 M1078A1, So we’ve had temps in the teens to twenties (F) along with some flooding over the last few days and after driving my truck through some of the standing water (foot and an half or so) then parking over night I’ve had real problems with my rear parking brake releasing...

We had a little over two feet of snow here in the Sierras today so took the truck out to stretch her legs a bit. https://youtube.com/shorts/r38aWJ-fJn0?feature=share

@GeneralDisorder Thanks so much for the comment. This all seems to make sense. Will likely have the truck back out in the next few days and will see if it clears on its own.

Paging @Ronmar : Reviving this thread to ask a different question. I have a 2003 M1078A1. Today I was backing up a steep icy driveway with chains on the rear wheels in “mode” (locked differential). There was a little bit of wheel slip and when I got to the top I noticed my ABS light was on...

First video is a Ford, second video is a Tacoma . . . I appreciate your attention to detail!
