my truck does not have a parking brake at all( i removed shoes, cable,etc. ) my truck still does what dieselgreen's does. :neutral:

My truck is an air shift, no parking brake, and pinion bearings are new. When the truck is going backwards(only inreverse, with clutch engaged or disengaged) the trans makes what i would describe as a "nashing" of teeth sound. Its not as bad when the t case is in low range though. When you push...

i agree with ksm715

Where can I get a marydyne 5000 cab heater? Does anyone have one of these? Im interested to know how well they work and of course how much they cost. Thanks.

I like the ouverson hubs, those and air o matic stearing make driving pretty easy. And i bypassed my fdc and installed a pyro. the truck will really get up and move now!!!! And im thinking about some od green on the wheels or black:)

thanks for all the feedback guys. and highdiver, id say the welds are pretty tight. id say the bed would make a good air tank hahaha.

might take more pics of that as well:-)

thanks guys. 4 years of hard work. im going to go drive it here in a bit. never get tired of playing/working on it.

I may have posted these a while back but can't remember. All i need now is a hitch.

Got everything back togather today. Pinions nice and tight now. A little too tight. going to add a couple shims before i drive it again. got a little too hot after a drive. really a pretty easy job though.

Ill let you all know tomarrow what I end up doing.

Yeah thats not a bad idea

Since i bobbed my truck I have another 3rd member anyway. I figure my other axle could be in the same shape. And I work at a parts store so I get all my bearings a lot cheaper:-D. I cant find any play in the intermediate so I think I'll be good.:wink:

Ok so I got the pinion, bearings and seals pulled out today. Was pretty easy. Bearings are on order for thursday. Bearings had alot of slop. From what i can tell the back(larger) race had spun around in the axle housing but it didnt look too bad. What would cause that? Because when i took the...

Thanks for the feed back guys. Any sugustions on how to get the pinion nuts off?

Anybody done this job? I didnt find any posts.

To start off I didn't find any threads that answered my question. haha. On the rear axle of my bobbed truck the pinion has some slop in it. Maybe an 1/8th inch or less front to back and i can push the drive shaft up and down and feel and see the pinion move. I first noticed this a month or two...

I can get my pyro up to 1050-1100 on hills that arent too long. 700-900 crusing along flat ground. Will 1050-1100 hurt it over time?

Anybody remember ol' Daniel from USA 6x6? Well thats where I got the wheels and brake set up. That was a full year before I knew about steelsoldiers. Thats all I'm gona say about usa 6x6 :mad::twisted:

The calipers are off an F550. I need to run down the #'s(I work at a parts store). I'll try to figure the rotor #s out.
