    Help, my hose hangs down too low

    Basically, your truck should not wear Burmuda Shorts without underwear... Secondly, it is the Diesel slobber hose...it keeps the side of the engine from getting all oily from the common malady known as Diesel Slobber.. It is a little blowby and putting the hose on the pipe just introduces the...

    deuce front axle & grease

    I really get confused on this one...there should be no GL1 anywhere near the knuckles.. there is a inner oil seal way out at the chuck (chunk) to prevent oil from getting into the axle housing..

    M105 Trailer Brakes Won't Release ... AAAARRRRR!!!

    Not too many of em had the breakaway brake set up...sorta like spring brakes without the springs.. Draining the air tank and not hooking up the two hoses will let you know for sure if it is mechanical, not air or hydraulic pressure keeping the wheels for turning.
