yep, knock out the freeze-plug and put in a 1500W heater. 15-30 minutes of preheat and it will start like it is 70 out:)

inboard of the air filter. usually a red cannister on top of a solenoid valve(oriented vertically)..

And tha And that reservoir seal ring is important as the reservoir must be sealed enough to pull enough vacuum to draw make-up fluid from the main AOP reservoir…

Pretty easy to make any truck manual to demonstrate. The last two of Dave Andersons roundups I went to, I brought a little switch box that has my dead controllers cannon plug and one momentary double throw toggle switch installed. I could plug into anyones CTIS harness And manually control the...

Does it have fluid? Allen head Filler plug, outboard rear corner. They are pretty simple and quite robust, usually if they have fluid they work(trying to think if I have encountered anyone with a bad one, its usually something else)… quick test, select suspension raise or...

Hand pump not working?

it takes hydraulic fluid to hold it up, and at only 6" up, it should come down all by itself via gravity, unless it has somehow tripped the safety check valve in the cab cylinder base. Did it appear to bounce when it locked up? This may have been possible if you were low on fluid and pumping...

At the very least stem Oring seals, and wheel Orings. Expect every rubber seal on this truck is bad, and you will probably be mostly correct:) you can get all the lift arch hucks with a cutoff wheel, I did:) i chose rail on rail with captured “springs”(hydraulics) for my habitat and am...

Well, if you unplug the controller, that will disable the system. With the tires aired up and the controller unplugged the tires/wheel valves should hold air. You can confirm this 2 ways. 1. The CTIS dump valve over the rear axle and the front CTIS dump valve beside the transmission(passenger...

Didn’t delete the expansion tank, re-located, it, as it is necessary, but does not need to be up high. You could mount it on the rear bumper and it would still work as an expansion tank and air purge, you just cannot fill the system from there when it is down low. I put mine down behind the...

What General said about hucks. Right angle grinder and a cutoff wheel. Heavy welding gloves and face shield!. If y0u cut all the way thru the shank, the released tension causes them to pop. To avoid this Cut thru till you are almost thru the shank, hit the collar with a hammer to break the...

I contemplated the same thing until i realized the toyota handles would fit. if you do it, I would suggest you leave access to the wires directly to bypass the controller and power the releases directly if the controller quits...

so are you planning on relocating the spare tire, air filter and accessories and removing the forward crane lift structure?

So what are you planning for the truck?

Uuuh thats just the mount location for the chem detector… The box with the wires is your anti-lock brake controller… The box with the hoses is your air operated hydraulic pump… Don’t think you want to cut any of that out:) don’t think I have seen any of these trucks with a chem detector...

Look for a torque multiplier to do break the lugnuts. The 63:1 unit I have only takes around 8-10 pounds of force to break them free. Dont forget the studs on the left side of the truck are reverse/left handed threads You will want a looong bar and torque measurement head to get an accurate...

You will also want some cribbing. the bottle jack base is not very large so will tend to push into any soft surface you are working on.

Yep, you are using the cab cylinder rod end as auxiliary storage. If you connect a hose barb and hose where the vent port is, and run that into another small vented container all the way to the bottom, it will draw fluid from and store excess fluid in that aux container automatically, the same...

The hose fittings are JIC-4. Both the cylinders and the manifold ports use SAE-4 ports. I wouldn’t really worry about plugging anything until you are actually going to delete part of the system… https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brands/No-Brand-Name/JIC-4-Male-Plug-2408-4-9-2408-4.axd...

Ok, well the stock hand pump is 4x4x3.5 outer dimensions, but it is perhaps 1/8” wall thickness and radiused corners a square 3.75x3.75x3.25 is 45.7 cu/in minus ~2.5” for the radiused corners leaves ~43cu/in when full… and the fluid draw cannot draw every drop of that fluid so there will...
