I do have one question. In photo 6, the one that shows the metal corner with the metal bracket/clip to secure the cover straps offset from the center of the ends. Which way does the metal corner go on the upright, with the center metal bracket/clip closer to the upright or the top bow? Or does...

For anyone interested, sizes for the uprights/stakes were: 45" long 2 3/8" wide 7/8 " thick I took the cheap way out and took a piece of peeling OD paint from the truck to Walmart, they put it in their handy dandy color match analyzer machine and pretty much matched the paint perfectly...

Here are some additional. The old girl should should be pretty happy with the new hardware on her back. :D

Well my cargo bows and hardware were shot so I decided to restore them. My stakes were rotted out so I had a buddy of mine make new ones out of oak and I painted them. The steel corners were in pretty bad shape so I stripped them with a grinder wire brush to bare metal and repainted them. The...

My alternator went up last year also. I did not have the time to fool around with it and try to take it apart. I purchased one from the classifieds, a 24V single wire alternator from Avengeusa. I have been quite pleased with the purchase. It works perfectly and have not had any further...

I also had a rear inner wheel leak on the driver's side. Definitely gear oil. I cleaned it off, fooled around with the axle vent and the leak stopped for a while. After a few weeks, the leak is back. This time the gear oil looks like light colored chocolate milk. Hope no water got in there...

I consider myself lucky in this case. Had the temperature guage not stayed pegged at 240 after the truck was dead cold I propbably would have started replacing the temperature sending unit first and then likely the guage after that when the sending unit didn't work. And you're right, the no...

I was having issues with my guages. The fuel guage would wildly jerk back and forth across the dial occassionally. Then my temperature guage started to run hot, then when it hit about 220 it started jumping back and forth like someone was flicking it. Once it cooled down it was fine again...

Should the guage be in the green all the time or just when the truck is running? Reason I ask, my Alternator is putting out the correct 28 votls when running. With the truck off, the guage reads in the yellow. When the truck is running, the guage reads in the green by the white mark where it...

The critters around here have a mutated conscious intelligence. probably escapees from a military lab experiment. I had two rats that invaded my garage. Ate through solid plastic trash cans to get to the contents, ate through the rubber door sweep on the bottom of the door to access the...

Ok, now it's war! Critters have gone too far. I checked my air filter yesterday and found all kinds of seat fabric and insulation in it. Little buggers have been going into my seats in the cab through the small round air holes in the wood under the seat and taking out the insulation. Then they...

Got the plug out. Used air ratchet and it came loose without having to heat it or utilize other "special operation tactics." Special thanks to "M816 Someday" for helping me out and getting it loose as well as straightening the dent/fold in my tailgate where someone smashed into it bending it...

Thanks for the offer going north Mike_Pop, I'll let you know. Ghostofagreatman I sent you a PM.

When checking the axle fluid lvels, one of the fill plugs won't budge. Tried breaker bar, socket wrench, socket wrench with hammer. It also looks like the square center is starting to round out. Any suggestions?

Yes, that is very close. Let me confirm with the gentleman and I'll get back to you. I really appreciate it. you will be coming east on 70 I take it?

Is there anyone in the Mt. Airy/Woodbine/Ellicott City/Damascus Maryland area that is going to the Aberdeen Md. event that could transport a set of troop seats to Aberdeen for a member in New Jersey that will be at Aberdeen? Thanks, Dan

There are no stupid questions. The only stupid questions are the ones never asked. Welcome aboard! I have found this site invaluable and there are plenty of great people happy to help out.:smile:

Great, thanks! I feel better now. I thought for a minute I was missing something that fell off.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the filter is inside the unit itself and the intake hole is supposed to be bare and leads to this internal filter?

I never noticed this before, but there is what appears to be an intake tube on the rear of the air compressor. I'm guessing this is an air intake? It is a hollow metallic tube but there is nothing on the end of it. Is there supposed to be some sort of an air filter on the end of it to prevent...
