I've tried pushing in . . . so far no luck While I was in the area, I just spent a fascinating half hour scraping mud out from under the dash. Where was the private with a toothbrush on a punishment detail? Apparently not on my truck

I've tried taking he cap off of the diagnostic port and I can't figure it out. What's the secret to getting that cap off. And what does the switch under the red "don't touch this" cover do?

The huck bolts were the easy part, getting grade 8 bolts locally was difficult. I went to Lows and two different Home Depots and I got a few to put the rear shock upper mounts back on. I still have a center support in the frame, where the rear air lift points (crane lift?) were, to bolt on. I...

I've been cutting off Huck Bolts this morning. 18 bolts in 90 minutes I've been cutting off Huck Bolts this morning with the angle grinder and cutoff wheel. 18 bolts in 90 minutes. I just stopped for a cup of coffee . . . now back to the grindstone . . .

I just ordered one of the stronger cab cylinder and reinforcement kits on ebay. I may not get it installed right away, but getting it while I can find one seems sensible.

I don't believe the hand pump or air/hydraulic pump are working now, Meanwhile, the immediate problem is solved. The problem was not the hydraulics at all, but rather a mechanical interference. The cab was landing on and stuck on the arch that holds the cab lock. Judicious application of a...

Where do I get the updated stronger cab cylinder?

Hand pump is not working

Did it appear to bounce when it locked up? I don't know. Didn't see that might cause the safety to lock as it pushes back thru the system and allows rapid passage thru the restrictors in the control valve... All new to me Shift the control to raise and try and raise the cab a...

The air operated pump is just spewing oil now. I did fill the upper reservoir. Right now I can't lift or lower the cab.

Thanks for that. Now I've got an issue with cab tilt, I could use some advice. I backed it out of the garage today and pulled out the red pin in the cab lock manually. It was really stuck. I'll want to re-build that. I got the cab raised and cleaned up the engine. The hydraulic pump is...

I really appreciate you guys, it's helping me a lot, newbie that I am

I found these. Right part number, self locking: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273011732609

Are these the o-rings...

OK, I've got the valve stems in my ebay cart. Where do I get the O-Rings and wheel half nuts?

Not going there any time soon . . . Meanwhile I've got another small issue. My truck came with a *shredded* tire on the right front wheel. Picture attached. I've got two new 2023 Goodyears and I went to mount one of them on that wheel. I got it mounted fine . . . although it was a learning...

This is exactly why I asked the question. I haven't bought a plasma torch, I was just considering it. I will now shelve that idea. I don't plan to be welding on the chassis, I'll get a professional for that. I do plan on taking an adult education welding class in May and I may get good...

Yes, I'm going to delete that lift structure, once I figure out how

I'm considering using a plasma cutter to cut off huck bolts and a few flanges that protrude above the frame rails. I'll be grateful for any wisdom about this. I guess it might be similar to welding on the truck and the ECM might be in danger. Will the battery disconnect be enough? Or do I...

Yes, I'm taking off the spare tire and it's lift mechanism. I'll be doing the Donaldson air filters to replace the stock filter and snorkle. I'm not sure what the "forward crane lift structure" refers to, but in principle, I'll be doing everything I can to get the habitat box as close to the...
