Try eastern surplus...not for $70 though! Those days are long gone. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Please keep us updated on how this plays out. Fortunately, MV accidents are rare and it helps other members to see what happens when it happens. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Swapped new radiator in. No more leak. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Deleted - TapaTalk did not show that I was replying to the very thread I was quoting. Sorry!

Not sure what exactly you are asking. The hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder that you operate with your foot is used to both activate an air valve in the air hydraulic "air pack" that then assists in moving the hydraulic slave brake cylinder of the air pack AND the MC hydraulic pressure...

Stared at the coolant dripping..no, running, from the rad support and disappearing in the sand. Maybe one of the rad solder repairs finally gave out. Maybe a hose. I have a spare radiator. Maybe time to replace it....I will find out. WHY DID I HAVE TO SAY OUT LOUD TO MY WIFE ONLY YESTERDAY THAT...

Glad you are ok and nobody got hurt. That's probably the most important part. As for the steel soldier combat casualty: What you do not see, yet, without disassembly is what else took a hit. Steering knuckle? Pitman arm? Front axle shaft on this side (if the axle shaft got knocked, is the...

Funny, that - the original turn signal switch on my truck did that. I opened it up and it had some blackening of contacts and otherwise looked healthy. I am not the world's greatest electrician and so I just checked and cleaned everything, re-assembled it and it never worked again. Nada...

Fleetmech. it's one of these things I had never really thought about, so thanks for bringing it up! Turns out, at least the Deuce is consistent! If the hydraulic side fails, one's sphincter will grab the seat cushion really tightly. Imagine having this happen while pulling a 10,000 lbs air brake...

I'd like to know as well!! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

May I ask what your reasoning is for keeping the 9.00-20 tire size? I have had them on my truck originally, driven it long distance that way and I would never go back after changing to 11.00R20 size. The lower rpm alone are worth it for me. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Here is the air line diagram: So, what you are asking is "is the piston (4 and control valve piston 5) inside the compensator mounted to the airpack actuated by hydraulic pressure, air pressure or mechanically"? Based on the assembly instructions, the control piston (5) protrudes into the...

Did you bleed the air pack first? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

....and if you have lockout hubs, no jacking up of the front wheels is required! 1:0 for lockout hubs!

They do, but they don't read them. So they never know which symptoms they are supposed to show, according to the book! That leaves me to figure out why they don't feel so good and what we are going to do about it. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Good that you got her home! Now the work really starts! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Well, it doesn't sound like you are crossing downtown Atlanta! Best of luck! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The e-brake is not helping much if the truck is moving faster than walking speed. It will stop the truck e..v..e..n..t...u...a....l....l.......y . My e-brake is serviced, tight and holds the parked truck strongly. I gave it a try at about 25 mph. It was like I did nothing. Maybe block...

Installed in cab storage box. I had this aluminium box, originally for a PC or power supply, and bolted it between the seats. I welded 4 bolts to the bottom of the inspection cover and set the box on top. Easy to remove if need be. Doubles as an arm rest! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
