it's the vent for the air valves. situation normal.

you guys that are mounting rings should also get the top plate for the back of the cab where the hard top would normall attach. it helps that area as well.

I have yet to find zipperless boots for the 5 ton. I've asked several dealers and nobody had ever seen any so I guess their not made.

809 speedo adapter will do what you need.

rebuild. time. sounds like the pressure side is venting into the res. bad oring possibly.

tractors are easier to come by as many of them are coming out right now.

will have to take the knuckle apart and redo it all. it's the only way to make it right.

if they service rockwell's then they should be able to get them but there isn't any reason not to call 1 of 10 surplus guys and have them on hand when you show up. BTW where are you guys getting the sockets to get the bearing nuts off?

I've got an airshift that was jumping out of high. make an offer.

I did the same thing. for the 1 or 2 times in my life that I should need to change that belt I'll continue to do it this way.

as to your second question there is no direct relationship. turbo rpm is more directly related to fueling in our case. there is a day and night difference between 2000rpms and light throttle and 2000rpms and wide open up a hill under full load and boost.

only the 10 ton M123 tractors came with drag line winch for pulling a load onto the trailer. 818 is cummins motor m54 or other 5 ton tractor has either a multi motor or mack motor.

check the oil supply line and base gasket.

not all brake cables have the grease fitting either. none of the new ones you can buy have them

I have the same gauge in my 818. call westach and they will sell you the new sensor. you can get it in a clamp on or screw in. those two leads on the gauge use a slid on connector that is very snug and will not come off.

freeze plugs that I drive into the engine blocks go it with a moderate swing from a 3lb hammer. I'd say you want at least .002 of interference fit at 60deg F. yours can be a bit looser bc your not sealing water at 16psi over a 2sq in area.

I just used a screwdriver to crush the edge and pry out. worked great. several ways to crack this egg.

worst case scenario: pull the turbo from the truck and see if the oil is coming from the turbo or if it's coming from the manifold/motor. this takes about an hour at the most and will confirm the problem without doubt. you could also pull the air inlet hose on the turbo but it may or may not...

I just replaced a wheel cylinder on the 818 and found about 3 table spoons of rust in the bottom of that old one. I suspect they all have that in them. in time I'll rebuild them all. I've done all the rubber flex hoses already.

I love the air bags on the 5th wheel. I'm wondering how well it tows in high winds. esp if you have a mil dual plane swivel 5th wheel.
