Welcome aboard!

Roger that Stuart! I'm on it my friend.

Hoorah!!

I absolutely love my vic-1. So much so I have one in every truck with two complete systems for spares.

I just used the seatbelt bolt holes from the driver and passenger sides. One from each

I would go back to a bench seat. I added a middle seat belt for my daughter so she can tag along with my son and I. Plus the bench seat affords the ability to put green radios under the seat along with other gear;-)

Opps, thanks Will. I forgot to mention marking the housings. Went back and edited the post.

Now Im wondering if the non whistler has the same internals. Just an fyi, the non whistler is designated the 3LM-319 while the whistler is the 3LF-319. Now I need to add the non whistler to the rebuild project list..lol

Thanks Dan, your truck must be very happy;-) Your truck sounds awesome! [thumbzup]

Dont forfeit your truck man. Youve got the ss brotherhood standing ready to help out.

Rebuild ii 12OCT11 The toughest part of this rebuild was the documention process...no joke. After each step, I had to wipe my hands so I could take a pic[thumbzup]. Well worth it if it at least helps out one SS. This rebuild process is pretty easy as long as you do your research ahead of time...

Rebuild Process I 12OCT11 Let the REBUILD begin!!! The first thing I did was again wipe everything down once more and blew everything off with air. Keep your exhaust wheel away from the edge of the table!!! I almost dropped her 3 times. One drop and that's it for the rebuild process. 1)...

Arrival of 3LJ-319 Rebuild Kit.....FINALLY! haha 11OCT11 Yesterday I got my OEM Schwitzer Turbo Rebuild kit (SCH318364). I cannot stress enough. Buy the OEM kit if you can. It is made in the USA. There are several Chinese junk kits out there. Everything looks good, everything is a match. This...

Now is the time to take all your parts and give them a good cleaning. Pay particular close attention to the wheels. Be careful not to distort the fins in any shape or form. Be sure you're in an area where there is ZERO chance to drop them. I just placed mine on a towel on the work bench. Most of...
