Welcome from SE Missouri! Is the truck smoking more than normal? When you change fuel filter dump out old fuel in filter into a clear glass jar without lid and look at the fuel. Look for water, and black specks, fuel hose deteriorating. Also rust, color is hard to see but flakes aren't. A lot...

Sell as is, maybe someone will save it. Or if it is real badd then someone will get the parts to save many. Do you wish to part out? Or just sell as is and save your time for other things? They are not to available in my area and when I can I will acquire for the right cost, tear down and onto...

Transmission fluid is for, transmissions. Power steering fluid is for, you know. There is a difference. Read up on why.

Welcome aboard Sjoconnor. Looking at the TM's should always be looked at to give more insight of any current problems but you have a tendency to see other topics also gaining more knowledge of other systems, uses, or the correct parts or installation has been done. A lot of the problems may be...

We all want economy for repairs. We all want you to succeed with your quest for resurrecting an old warrior. The older more abused bodies take more attention to get near "new" or "young" results. Right Gents? Sometimes there is one that needs extra attention. Your Truck looks to be able to...

Wow the MV's up for Top are incredible again this month. After the talk about the pool and the MV jetski, and now a GPA with the summer ending and the lake shot. Well it is hard to resist, but the one question that I have is, "where is the diving board". You know a fella has to have an edge...

To bad your not my nephew and we could work out a solution, but I would not "sell" you the truck. Knowing the labor and capital it is going to take to revive the old Lady. Good Luck in your interest and maybe your Uncle will be happy that you are wanting to save the Truck.

After looking at my front axle on the dually mine is the same. Never realized that the lockout was that close to the lug ring.

You stated new wires, but what about cables? When loading the cables have you checked for excessive heat in positive or negative? What about painted surfaces? And Tinstar is correct that my last problem was the starting slide on the steering column. I grabbed a known good one and replaced and...

I am a believer that a lot of the dually conversions are from Texas. I think that truck was a motorpool conversion to what was needed directly at the time that the upgraded hardware became available. I also think that was a 1031 that started life but that a field commission was applied as I am...

Tag I am going to try this.

Starter bolts, have you replaced them with new?

What condition are the battery cables in? When you bend them do you hear a crackling, brittle, or looking at the ends do they look corroded or off color? Twist the ends of positive cables to feel for retention or looseness. It sounds like you may have found the problem. Check the cables...

Not to many hands know how to use road graders. Kind of a lost art form. The last grader I seen working was a Cat 14G that was GPS operated. A very complex machine that in capable hands can accomplish many tasks.

Palm buster, I can remember about 25 years ago when the last time I used one. I will say that it sure beats the Western Wheel horse drawn grader that I have.

Even in parts to someone who needs, would be able to gather up what they need. Heading out to a salvage yard or two in the morning to hunt for parts. Or maybe a whole vehicle.
