Interesting ... I just watched it this morning because it came up on my feed. ! Had no idea it was a members ride.
The video was edited very well. Nice work on the truck. I saw a lot of the things you did to the truck that you didn’t talk about. Alternator, headlight control, roll meters side...
Thanks Al. Prep was just to power wash it. Pick a few spots of peeling CARC off it and paint. I have found the surface to be so rough that it accepts the paint easily. The bare metal holds the paint just as well.
A couple years ago, I did a test. I had a sheet of 16 ga that was “clean”. I...
Behr Premium, exterior, latex enamel - Satin finish. If only we were closer, I could have painted your trailer, your truck, replaced the window and put an engine in it for you!
I used an airless sprayer for the green. I could not get it to spray low enough. I was getting drips. If you were...
* I installed a super duty flagpole holder in the bed. The 1.25” sch 40 pipe will bend before the mount will break.
* Replaced the air dryer with a SKF Brakemaster 2000 air dryer. Supposed to be a straight swap out, but it took some drilling and hunting down extra fittings to make the lines...
Thanks. Got it done.
This didn't turn out to be a straight swap out. Bolt holes were about 2” narrower on the SKF, so I needed to drill 2 new holes to match up with the SKF.
The fittings didn’t fit either. One of the 1/2” fittings worked out (the 90 degree inlet) but I needed reducers and...
Having an issue with wiring. Me and electricity aren't best friends, so, I think its best to ask.
From the Dryer, P1 is power, J1 is ground. On the truck there is a black wire and a white wire. I cut this wire off the old dryer. Figure black is probably ground. I put my multimeter on each...
Oh, ok. I was trying to figure out where oil could have com from.
Transmission is a mix of 15-40 and 10 wt hydraulic fluid (15-40 in it prior to fluid change). So ... definitely looks like it could be tranny fluid.
T case interlock fail ... could this have something to do with my inability to...
Today I changed out the rear lights for LEDs. Hooked up the air to the air-ride seats. Changed the air filter to a TMG filter. The glass barely registered any pressure, but I bought the filter, so might as well change it out.
There was some oil in the filter canniest. Clean engine looking oil...
I used a wet shemagh on my head, ball cap on top of that, to keep it in place and another wrapped around my neck. It was a lifesaver. Like a mini air conditioner for my head. Have to keep wetting it down, but it works.
It makes a huge difference.
