    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    It has been over a week now since I last had to add brake fluid and now the level is staying constant. Still no evidence of any exterior leaking and the fluid loss has now stopped. Total brake fluid loss was a little over 9 oz. total. It is now holding a steady fill level. I am going to...

    Radiator Leak

    I also checked with a radiator shop to see if they could repair/recore prior to buying new. The gentleman said it could be $550-$750 if nothing major had to be done, but said once he got to checking it if there were several leaks or the inside had a lot of weak/thin spots making a rebuild...

    Radiator Leak

    My radiator also had a small leak, but my radiator has many issues. The tube that attaches to the neck rusted out at the filler neck connection and when it wants to get to its happy level it blows fluid out the rusted hole and all over the driver side of the engine compartment. Big mess! And...

    Why won't my sprag engage?

    Interesting question on the sprague. Mine does not have an airshift however it would not engage either. I checked the TM's and did the adjustments and it seemed to be adjusted properly. However when backing if not perfectly straight, when placed into forward drive the stearing wheel would...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Interesting how a few key words in these posts spawn additional avenues to check. Kind of like the tv show "House" with everyone brainstorming with ideas until the correct diagnosis is identfied. I LIKE IT! When RL mentioned gravity, I recalled the fluid dropping only to the bottom of the...

    Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    Breakfast at Bob Evan's was great. Plenty of space for parking. Was good to meet fellow SS members, check out different trucks and swap stories. Unfortunately I had an evening commitment and could not make it to Action Figure Bob's, so it was good to at least get out and meet in the morning...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Did not service the fronts. But funny you mentioned the gravity aspect of the fluid leaking out. The fluid only leaks out down to where the hose connects to the bottom of the reservoir. At least that is where I caught it the last time it got that low. However I cannot find any evidence of...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Thanks, I'm confusing myself now. Picture 1 below is what I refer to as the master cylinder. Yes, the fitting I was referring to earlier was bled. I'm getting my terminology confused, sorry. You are referring the J-pipe in picture 2 below correct? The one that enters the center rear of the...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Thanks to everyones comments and suggestions, I may have isolated the problem. Today I did a thorough inspection following all of the brake lines from the reservoir to the master cylinder to each wheel. I have found absolutely no leaks or evidence of any leaks anywhere. There is also nothing...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    If it were the air pack, would I see fluid when I drained the air tanks? After every use I bleed the air tanks. Nothing unusual has changed from normal, no fluid comes out of the tanks. I no longer have a vent line. This was removed when I added the remote reservoir which was from pegassus...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    I am baffled. I recently replaced all of the rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, inner and outer seals, inner and outer bearings etc. All brake lines were bled and brakes are rock hard. I also added a remote reservoir under the hood so I could monitor the brake fluid level. Here is the...

    What is the middle wrench? Lug nut/bud nut? And do either of the other ones fit the compresser for pulley adjustment?
