You sure? My truck as the same tick...

Sounds good. Pull all of the drums and check wheel cylinders, bleed brakes, etc. as soon as you can. Enjoy!

There's a guy here local that needs a new input bearing to his transmission. He's rebuilding a take-out and putting it behind a 5.9 Cummins. I seem to recall a thread with an issue about the correct bearing. Do any of you know how to source the correct bearing or part number?

It’s funny you mention that as I did think about it. There’s a difference between cosmetic (old school bumpers, tools, chips easily, thick, bright and shiny) and industrial chrome (binds very well, matt finish, very durable, super corrosion resistance, similar to galvanizing (matte) in...

About a year ago I replaced the switch for the brake lights. Well, it crapped out again, so I got the kit to install a switch in the brake air line (the one that is atmospheric pressure unless you hit the brake pedal and then it pressurizes the line per the governor regulation) and I have...

I installed the brake switch upgrade kit from Erik’s. Glad to have working brake lights again. Hope this switch lasts more than the one that was in the pressure line (a year or two is no good reliability). Working around the master cylinder and air pack I find that stubby wrenches are a big...

Valence, Good job on that step. I want one! Aussie, what material is that oil cooler part? You have a good idea about adding a coating. Correct me if I am wrong as I have not taken mine apart, I think that housing is cast aluminum. Solutions of 25% ethylene glycol to 75% water aren't so bad...

I'm working on this and have the short air pack. Do any of you have the info on how to hook it up?

Thanks Valence! I’m trying to get some things sorted out myself. I’m working on installing this and the brake switch upgrade (moves the switch from the high pressure line to the brake pressure line for the trailer circuit). I got the switch kit from Erik’s (Brake Light Air Operated Switch...

The flame heater can leak into the intake manifold.

I think you need to do a compression check before jumping to conclusions. There is also the possibility that you have an injector issue, broken push rod, rocker arm, flat cam lobe, etc. It might also help to do a cold start and monitor the exhaust temp close to each port to see if one is...

Yes, many thanks to Aaron for setting this up again. Many thanks to Warcat for being so good with the kids. If any of you have contact info for Peter, please let him know I would like to talk to him about supporting him with desert tan vehicles for the parade. We had a bit of an issue on the...

Get other projects done. HA! I keep shooting for that and it never happens...

You might want to drain the oil and check it out also. I noticed the same thing and this is what I found: See post 3898 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?67703-What-did-you-do-to-your-deuce-this-week&p=1761523&highlight=#post1761523

I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm looking into this again. Yes, it is common to use something like silicone grease in manufacturing for assembling o-rings. You just want to use a lubricant that is not the same base as the o-ring material as it will break the o-ring down in no time. Did...

I did a brake light check this weekend and found my brake lights out again. About a year ago I replaced the switch as it was bad. Now it looks like the “new” switch is also bad. I’ll double check it this evening, yet I’m fairly sure it is bad as I checked the tail lights themselves. It made...

I dug through a pile of take-outs a year or two ago looking for one for my truck. I noticed many of them had crappy solder joints (tiny bit of solder in the joint) where the fill neck meets the tank and also where the 1/4 ish-inch tube connects. I picked one that seems to be good everywhere...

There are a couple here in The Republic that are planning to leave early Friday. We talk about the AM, but lunchtime is more likely. Where are you coming from? Starting before 3PM every day it's stop and go on 5 N beginning at Capitol\Barbour all the way to the Interstate bridge. I205 isn't...

BUMP. I'm coming!

Rusty, Yes, you do good work. Would be nice to see it in person. Will you make it to the Chehalis event this weekend? -Brian
