I was very disappointed when the issue continued after replacing the governor. Had the same issue with plugged ports. But I was very careful to switch all the fittings over and make the new one just like what came off. There's even one port that's open to the air, but has a screen in it. The...

Apologies for the misunderstanding. And thank you for the thoughtful and detailed reply! It's only the relief valve going off. However, the dryer does work as normal after whatever the problem is "unsticks" itself. So.... I've not traced the routing of the full air circuit yet. I'm going to...

Yes. I crawled under the truck to locate the odd noise. It's LOUD! Sounds like an air chisel for about a second every time it blows. Had to crawl up between the rear axles to reach it when replacing with a new one. And that was no easy task, let me tell you, because there's no room for a...

Yes they do. And I have had it off the truck for a full cleaning and service. Pulled the cartridge to double check after it started the odd behavior, but it's clean and dry. On that note, it's popping off at the tank relief. However, once it builds pressure the dryer dischargers...

Roger that! Trying to get more familiar with it myself! The bound paper copies of the TM's are a big help. Much easier to see than electronic copies. The warning buzzer has never worked on this truck. And I've not yet taken the time to figure out why. My assumption is that it must be...

Having an issue with the air system after the truck sat for awhile. It builds pressure in the tanks until the safety relief valve starts blowing off, but nothing shows on the gauge in the cab. About once every minute the relief valve will blow due to overpressure, but nothing connected to the...

Update: Kyle Wolski over at Black Rock Fab helped me out. He had the dxf files on hand to do the conversion as featured on "Hank's Deuce". It uses F550 calipers all the way around, and B700 rotors all the way around. Unfortunately, he didn't have some of the materials on hand to fab a set of...

I already tracked Keith down on Facebook, the long way around. He's not accepting new messages, as of this afternoon, and has nothing on the auction site. Also searched C&C, and all the usual suspects... didn't find anything from them.

This is NOT a pro/con thread comparing drums and discs. Have spent long HOURS searching, reading, studying on the subject until I'm blue in the face, and not interested in entertaining anyone's opinion about which is better, or why. Also, not asking to join in a technical discussion, which has...

I'm in.

I'm in!

Great price! I was in need recently, and thought I had searched everywhere...missed this one. Bought four cases from Rock Auto; 12oz bottles, $4.87 ea., 6 per case. Total was $148.36 including shipping and tax for 2.25 gallons. Ya win some, and ya lose some! 😅

Reading up on adjusting the valves. Lots of info also relating to adjusting the rack. Noticed at least two forum members mention having the tool set. Wondering if anyone with the set would consider loaning it out? Postage paid both ways, of course!

Unfortunately broke my drill bit on the second rivet. Not being careful...SNAP! I'll get back to it and post more pics soon as I replace that bit.

Took a look at the situation today on both a steel hood, and a fiberglass. The steel will be easy-peasy...just drill out the old rivet, pop on a new one. And luckily most of the washers are in much better shape than I remembered: All except for the bottom washers on the side panels, some of...

Agreed! My 99 has a fiberglass hood, and it's ok. Weighs about the same as the steel hood. Unfortunately, somebody busted off the corner hold-down...and tried to fix it with Bondo! So have some glass repair to look forward to... 😏 Last I checked a N.O.S. fiberglass is about $800! So I'm...

That's a good point. Pretty sure rattle can is good up to 200. I've used it for touching up automotive applications that get at least that hot. Have some tractor/implement paint in CAT yellow I'm going to use to touch up the valve cover...and the camo green I used on the thermostat housing...

That's a good question, glad you asked! Well...I used some flex seal on a pair of insulated pack boots one time to waterproof. Worked ok, except it cracked pretty soon in the creases and folds where the fabric flexed. But I figure the insulation blanket doesn't flex, so it should be ok...

Yes! Excellent info! Looks like that's JC Sales, which comes up as a parts supplier in other search hits. Much better price, and best of all they list the measurements I was looking for: Tubular Component Diam.: 3/16 Grip Range: 7/8 to 1-1/16 Head Diameter: 3/8 Material: All Steel L1 Rivet...

Yes, only available in packs of 10, so far as I can tell. Guess I need to stop being lazy, and just get to cutting! 😅
