I drove these trucks for a year in Belgium in 1985, and when I bought mine I had to refresh on all the operations. Amazing how much I had forgotten over the last 27 years. I can't even IMAGINE getting in one with these types of questions and not having read the informationon the trucks. To me...

HA Ha! If you can't weld well, weld a lot!

Can't agree more. Its easy to do for the original poster.

I think he did make a suggestion, make smaller subsets in the classifieds so that people can focus better on their specific areas of interest. Right now its basically just a large hodge-podge, honestly I don't look at parts for generators because I don't have any. I'm sure the same goes for...

Ok, so today I made a very ugly temporary repair, while I am still waiting on parts to come....It seems to be holding on a test drive, hopefully it will make the 50 mile trip to a friend's house so we can replace the bushings. Good news is, ALL of the offending noise is gone, so I am sure this...

Welcome from Central NY. I have a 1009 currently under renovation after being customized by a falling tree

I like it!

Does anyone have any results from this type of balancing on G177s? Same process?

Yeah they are definately on the list, I have a complete set of serviceable driveshafts, as well as two axle assemblies, so no matter what at least I have the parts to fix. I was thinking the diffs because there is a lot of oil on the seal and that was always dry, so thinking there was some undo...

So after reading the TM, it says that these uppers have to be "pre-stressed". Has anyone done this? If not has the install survived OK? I guess I just can't understand what this is doing. Any thoughts?

Been looking for one. Got one?

So I have been chasing a horrible "bag of marbles in a steel bowl" sound for lack of a better term. It all started after I played with my transfer case for the first time, so I ASSUMED the problem was in the transfer case. The scenario: Get up to speed, start coasting down from about 40-45...

Ummmmm still working on that one......

Got one of the toolboxes mounted today. Had to order a Cat converter though, so gotta wait for that to come in now. Ugh..

Well, I got them in. Only took about 15 mins to change the two of them. The old shocks had NO rebound at all in them. I could easily squeeze them closed and they didn't even try to come back out. They are still sitting on the scrap pile fully compressed.:shock: Took it out for a ride and...

I got the Monroes, about 65 a piece at NAPA, prob gonna be Thursday til I can get to them.

I just picked up my NAPA replacements. As soon as the rain stops I am going to put them in this week. I have a lot of wheel hop and leaking stock shocks, so fingers crossed this is the issue. I will post up as soon as they are chaned in.

Just found another picture I forgot I took. I thought it was kinda cool.

No I am mounting worklights that will illuminate the trailers at night for loading assistance etc. Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback !

The RV coach was a little over two tons, as far as the dumpster weight ticket. The rear springs were almost on the snubbers. Now they actually have a slight arch to them, and I still have Firestone airbags installed that can be aired up. Now with the bed (I took off the sides and tailgate to...
