Mine has a large Phillips head screw on the cover, I normally just screw it in finger tight. I agree, that line can be a bear to get started. At least from below I have some finger and thumb leverage. Glad I am not the Lone Ranger on this one...
Nice looking tow vehicle too! Those 105s sure work over a pickup or Blazer. Glad you made it home without your receiver hitch pin breaking. The whole works would be free to slide out and go cause mass destruction. I had one break on I-135 once, the trailer was chained to my hitch, thankfully...
Some of your responses did not make any sense, I could not figure out how you used a small crescent for instance as I can barely get a 3/8s stubby on my vent line. Then I saw some M35A2 master cylinders on Ebay. Mine has a 90 degree elbow on the cap, it would be so much easier if it had the...
Barrman, I am running straight #2 diesel with Power Service. I was running #1 or premium fuel on the way home because it was below zero up there in the Black Hills. I was fortunate in one respect, my tank was about empty, so I did not have much old fuel to mix out, I suspect now that all my tank...
That is it, on one of the steeper hills in our area, Coronado Heights. I just rolled slowly until I had a good straight shot at the camera guy. I think it was around 1500 rpm and climbing. There was almost no breeze, so the smoke was hanging pretty good. It does smoke a lot though, much more...
Yeow! Mine smokes quite a bit at idle, maybe I better invest in a pyrometer. What is a good target exhaust temperature on the Multifuel? My old Dodge usually runs around 750 to 900 on a really hard pull, otherwise it seldom goes over 600.
I do not run mine nearly as fast as some of these guys do. Usually around 48 mph tops, normally around 42 mph at 2,000. It pulled all of the hills coming home from Ellsworth AFB in the high side of 5th. I thought coming out of the Missouri River Valley on I-90 we were going to have to drop a...
It sure was and it only has a small tear around that cracked bow, I am guessing they snagged it removing it. I think it will be easy enough to fix, I have plenty of material from my 105 purchases. Thanks again for all of your assistance. Knowledge is a wonderful treasure to have along on a trip...
I just leave the window on the right side rolled up and try to stay below 1800 rpm, today I left the window down and they seemed fine with it. Mine has the D turbo as well. I wanted a C, but maybe this is not so bad..... Glen
Today I changed the oil in the truck, installed the cargo cover, tightened up a few bolts, squirted in some grease and then checked the brake fluid. There lies my question.... I had always taken the vent line off of the cap from the top. Today I started that way, when I dropped the 3/8ths...
Another great looking truck, of course it was close to new then..... anybody else catch the bridge plate number? :mrgreen: Nothing new I assume... Glen
I like the motorcycle line, the happiest day of my mother's life was the day I sold mine. 8) If you need anything from Kansas, let me know. This is not the place to buy a deuce though, Riley deuces bring a premium price! Glen
I took on many projects over the years I probably could not afford. Maybe going out less and partying less did me some good. I may have not been able to drive a couple of them for three or four years, but eventually I got there. I managed to make it into my 50's with no arrests, more than I can...
