Yep, tire lube. Also, check your rim nut torque. Should be 425 to 475 ftlbs, which most tire stores have never heard of! There were three different o rings in my wheels, and one of them was this really cool distorted triangle one with the point of the triangle going out. That one sealed up...

Also, check your alternator bracket. Mine broke, many do as it's a poor design. It was the weld on the front of the bracket where it connects to the block. It's u shaped, one side is welded, and that's the side that breaks. If you lost your serpentine belt, it's likely to have put extra...

Hmm. White smoke if it's pushing out coolant, but if it's blowing oil then it'd be blue yes? Other option I'd think was the turbo seals going out/wearing out and pushing oil in with the compressed air. But I could be wrong about the head gasket. Again, just guessing.

I'm just guessing here, but if you had an overheat you probably have a head gasket leak. TM 9-2320-386-24-1-2 engine maintenance covers the procedure for cylinder head removal and replacement. So, to answer your question, check it. If you think you can do it, go for it. If not, take it to a...

Many happy years and journeys together. We wish you the best. Jodie and Jerry

Hope I can help. Try carquest or naps for the fitting. Look in the air brakes catalog or section, that's where I find most of mine. Air that strong coming from the tire area is probably the hub line disconnecteded, but should be easy to see with the tire off. Air pressure might be your...

The 920 is designed for solid towing, so it's a bit more gearing, but way better steering. (I had to rhyme). You can put a box on anything, with enough time and materials, maybe a little patience. All the older series trucks ARE going to be uncomfortable for long trips unless you start...

oh, good point! you do want to swap those tires. If your spare is like mine though, you'll want to air it up and test it before you use it. My spare tire was unused, but the rim had a bad oring in it. Also, they probably cranked your wheel nuts on as tight as they could, or they will be...

Hi Skav, You're going to need to start digging a bit with google search. Go ahead and look up m109a4 and m934. Get an idea of what they look like. quick and dirty- the m109a4 is a 2.5 ton cargo box variant with a cat3116 motor and an allison 4 speed transmission. Your top speed is about...

Hey Ross, did you try turning on the headlights/driving lights, and seeing if the dash lights worked too? If they didn't, I'd bet you have a dead switch. If they did, I'd start thinking you have a wire disconnected near the switch. My money is on the switch. As far as the CTIS goes, if you...

And Jaymb, you can also call CM and see if they can rebuild it for you. If you don't find one here at a good price. After all, it's not working now, you might as well send it in.

One more quick hint. When my fuel pump (in tank) went out, it was a bear to start. Once started, ran just fine. Let it sit a few, and then same hard starting. Now that the tank pump is working, it's a beauty to start. When cold it takes an extra 10 seconds, but not like before. when it's...

Kurt, Nope, black on black for the bobber. I'll have to post a couple of pics later! Jerry

I've dealt with Mark, and he's been a stand up guy. He also does some custom work that's just amazing. Don't tell him I sent you, unless you have a case of beer. :-)

I say let's re-elect gimpy as admin. He11, we've re-elected far worse in bigger jobs. And thank you Chris, we've missed having a hand on the tiller.

Heard a rumor ctis can be programmed to another psi. I would really like that! One small benefit to the ctis is that it seems to be a good visible indicator when gear oil is in the valves that it's time to change your seals! But so far it's been little more than inconvienant to me.

Ok, I think the guy that got the 656 runs a tow company in Monroe. Think his name was Seth? Is mountain highway same as pacific ave? Then that's Stef. If not, I dunno but I will always be happy to drive by and see a new deuce! If it is a black bobber you saw, that's me! Picking up parts...

TadB. your answer is that the m35a3 hydraulics are attached directly to the cat motor on the back of the air compressor. The tank is in front of the drivers front fender. That answer your questions?

Unless there is something seriously wrong with the rim, there shouldn't be enough rust to cause failure. Something that happened with mine was the shop thought the torque on the bolts was only 150 ft lbs, which is close to standard. It's 425-475, and that's a huge difference with sealing...

Hey All, Ok, just to clear up some questions. Legality- I have always believed that beadlock WHEELS are illegal, and this website tends to confirm that. It states that internal beadlocks are compliant with SAE j5230 which is the standard to which wheels comply currently. LiftLaws.com - Are...
