    Air compressor hot / how does it oil

    RE: Air compressor hot / turbo ID / truck history I pulled the air compressor off of the truck. You can use a wrench to turn it over but it is really tight. I also notice some metal flaking in the bottom. Hoping there was not too much metal dumped into the motor. How does the compressor...

    Blinker question

    I have my air assist lines running over the blinker wireing. Left turn does not work all the time. Lift the air lines and move the wireing and it works again. It is not always the flasher but sometimes the wireing.

    Ouversons vs. AVM

    I needed an O ring and talked to Randy about it. He said silicone would work just fine to seal if I wanted to do them that way.

    Anyone in need of a Towbar?

    Shipping on the bars is not cheap. I have had a couple deals fall through on the medium and heavy medium bars I have due to the shipping cost.

    Ouversons vs. AVM

    . I don't know anything about AVM but I can tell you the Ouverson hubs are tough. Not tough enough to fight a concrete wall but they are tough. I have had 2 failures with Ouverson hubs. BOTH WERE MY FAULT. One was water in the bearing from a torn boot and the other was from the concrete...

    Air compressor hot / how does it oil

    Lots of smoke. With my hearing I can't here if it is spooling or not. I will have to check it when I get the compressor fixed.

    Air compressor hot / how does it oil

    On I just got this truck today. Went for the test drive. Most went well except for the air compressor getting hot, very hot. If was hot enough to melt the fuel return line. I noticed new red silicone on the bottom so I am assuming there has been some problems. Any idea what is wrong. It...

    Canvas seat covers for 09's ???

    questions about flipping the rear hubs

    If you flip the hubs and have the extra money then replace the seals. I flipped mine and kept the original seals and used silicone in the grove. None have leaked yet. 3 years now. I do have a wheel cylinder leaking on one that need attention. I am running modified deuce rims with 3” added...

    Spin on filter installation

    Re: RE: Spin on filter installation No warranty, I knew that as it was not his fault. I sent the hub in. He said he could reuse the internals if they were ok and would knock some off the price.

    cant stop, goes right to the floor

    Bleed the brake lines first and work back from there. Has the master been replaced? Sometimes if you don’t bench bleed them first they will have air trapped and no peddle.

    HMMWV for $15K realistic?

    There was one in Austin TX 6 months to a year ago. I think it went in the 28K range. That is about the cheapest running truck in good condition I have seen.

    HMMWV for $15K realistic?

    Are you buying or selling one? A running truck in decent shape seam to be in the 20-25K and up. If you are buying make sure the title is legitimate.
