I saw a 5 ton multifuel with a exaust brake last weekend. Doesen't sound like a bad idea.

As long as you anr't loosing compression, or mixing oil into the water or water into the oil you should be ok. Mine leaks between the head and block also. But it doesen't loose enough oil between changes to worry about.

I bleed at the front of the air pack first. then at the wheels

You can use oil instead of grease. Ive rebuilt a few of these at the fire dept and they all were lubed with white grease. So when i reassembled them i went back with the grease.

Digger if you like PM me and i'll walk you through it.

Mighty Joe's got it. The sticky goo is old motor oil that is comming in from the air compressor. I had the same problem is 2001. my airpack quit on me and i took out a 3 week old fence at work. Trust me fences are no match for a duece. I'd tear it down and clean and relube it.

When you step on the brake pedal the fluid moves a air valve witch pushes the big piston from the back. The air valve is probally sticking or the big piston sticking. The big air piston is lubed with grease. If the air tanks haven't been drained of water then water can collect in the big...

You might check the rear axles weel bearings also. They have been through the same service as the front. They are also packed in grease.

I'm guessing with the lower EGT's and higher fuel comsumption there is less BTU's in biodiesel?

I bought a set and got about 1 1/2 to 2 mpg better. But i haven't gone on a road trip with them yet. wal-mart parking lots are no problem now. I have a LOVE -HATE relation with them though. If you take your truck off road, ( mud- water) then you'll get to spend some quailty time repacking...

Yea I'm right there with you lance!! But you haven't truely lived untill you've done donuts in a duece!!!!!

Have you checked the relay between the starter button and starter solenod? it's mounted on the pass side of the engine just below the exaust manafold. Mine quit back in 1999 and fried my starter. $100 doesen't sound bad for a starter.

Warren i haven't purchased the ov style hubs yet but i will as soon as i can rase the $. As far as the selectro's go, The o-ring is the issue!!! it's useless!!! The hubs function great, but they might as well be open to the air!!

What seal #do you need? The axle has many seals. I have most #'s at home I'll Look it up if you know witch one.

I guess it depends on how much he want's for them. Being CV's hopefully not much!

If there is comm biodiesel how much is it per gallon?

What legal concerns? Do you mean untaxed fuel on the road?

I'm speechless!!!! Every thing looks GREAT!!!!!! Looks like i've got a lot of work to do!!!!!

Pappa, all of the filters Air , fuel, oil are easy to get. Your just need the part #'s . I think it was Monster Man who posted a list of the commerical brands and thier part #'s. Just look for that list and pick the brand you prefer.

The adjustment screw IHG refered to is for "backlash" between the worm gear and the two half moon gears on the pinion shaft. This is set during assembly. If you bushings are worn and you adjust the screw, you will take out some of the felt solp in the steering weel. But the pitman arm will...
