Clink? Hell, I thought he said "clinic". Made more sense. ;p

And unlike other forums, there are no dumb questions here... But let's get that post count up. Ask away :)

@Plasa should see your post

Ah, LOL !

The seats are all stock LMTV seats. Pre-A1R have a metal plate under the seat, the A1R has no plate and won't smack your butt on every bounce). Not sure which he has here, but if they have a release lever they are the A0 style. If the have a release knob they are the A1R style. If you are...

Interestingly, it's not mentioned a lot in the TM. Only references I see off hand are in the brake troubleshooting (just to test for air pressure).

Here the TM https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1082-and-m1095-tm.214455/

The tag is usually hard to read, but "Push to release" "Pull to Set".

With all these EV SUVs and trucks using electric compressors, the junk yards may soon offer very solid a/c solutions. I've been teething at the bit to get my electric a/c installed, but I have to get the cab latch rebuild done, the interior insulation and rear panel installed first, and the...

No, they're pretty well tucked in. The longest one is still some 4" recessed within the cab. Sorry for the crappy pic, it's raining cat and dogs or I'd take a proper one.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what he said, but if he's seeing no fluid in the reservoirs then that should point to air in the lines (and not fluid). No fluid, no pressure, no worky. Again, I'm assuming (which is bad) that "no dice" means no fluid in the tanks. Lets say that the system is only...

So no fluid in the reservoirs? Sounds like air in the line to me. Fill, cap, pump Fill, cap, pump Fill, cap, pump Focus on the manual pump first. You can even leave the cap off and hand pump. Watch the fluid level drop, top it off. If it starts puking oil as the fill hole, then cap it and...

What model truck? A0, A1, A1R? Which engine?

Nice Way more fun than the OEM horn. But I want to hook the OEM back up to another switch. The looks on people faces when they motion you to honk and you go "beep-beep" is hysterical. Then I can lay on the air to watch them jump... I've installed Vikings on my two trucks. I was able to...

No, not on the standard trucks. The 27 gal may be a winch truck with it's giant reservoir). A gallon should do you (but I usually pick up a spare to carry). And a ground pan to catch any discharge (a small kiddie pool was the cheapest I found). If there is a leak. what you add will often...

That's a good sign that the pump is working. Get some fluid in there (both reservoirs) and find if a leak exists. That's the most common fault.

And above all else, if/when you get the cab up...block it up with a 4x4. @chucky has a good story to tell about the fluid dumping out in an instant when he had the cab up to work on the system. He got to use his head to hold the 4000# cab up until he neighbors and rescue arrived to take some...

Yep, extremely common for the reservoirs to go dry if there is a leak (and with 20+ year old rubber o-rings, there's always a leak eventually). Top off both reservoirs 1) the one at the manual pump and 2) the one behind the cab (next to the hydraulic pump). Pump, fill, pump, fill until you get...

Yep. And I drove my 2008 home like I sole it (from AK to S. TX About 900 miles). The truck had been stored indoors, had 1500 actual miles on it, and I went thru everything prior to hitting the road. Stayed on the main highways and had heavy tow on the phone for each leg. Strolled along at 60...

Step 1) Remove all passenger seating (leave driver seat installed) /solved ;) Congrats on the truck !
