    Air pack problem

    Thanks Lou i will look but.. All glad hands have shut off valves on them and they have been shut off forever so even if it did have a vent the shut off would prevent a vent. the venting is handled with the quick drop air valve under the drives side. Or at least should be.

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    Air pack problem

    Well today a buddy " driving a Pinz" and i were out and i hit the brakes one to many times i guess because the truck just locked up at a light.

I dont have that much roof? lol

    5 Ton winch parts?

    I got all my stuff and have the winch out of the frame " because its the only way to change the **** brake housing" the roller must be removed to do so which is a real pain in the frame.
