What's the range of years that sticker would've been valid? As someone mentioned, that Col. is long gone, and I'm thinking there'd be someone else listed on there at a later time.

Wow, that's great - thanks for sharing! I'm going to save that sticker on my computer just in case I need it :)

Doesn't hurt to try. That and e-mail. Worst that can happen is that they don't respond after a week or two or say no. Thanks for the explanation! Today I learned something new :)

Dave's not here :whistle: (I really don't know that though. That's a nice fire truck though!)

How did military warranties like that work anyway? Was that for cases where a unit didn't have direct maintenance support?

A good example why safety glasses and other personal protective equipment is important in this hobby! I'm glad you didn't break anything on your face!

I thought someone just asked this question a couple weeks ago. Dejavu :p According to the retrofit manual, the air packs can be mixed. The retrofit manual assumes the existing long air pack is going to stay while the short air pack is installed. EDIT: I wasn't imagining things :ROFLMAO...

Hard to believe even many 30-somethings like me could get historical plates in NY if we were vehicles :ROFLMAO:

There's one on Facebook Marketplace listed right now. The seller claims that it's one of 36 built. Wow it looks a ton better with the cover on the back!

This is mostly for people like me who are still learning about their truck! Fall is in full swing in my part of NY, with today not getting higher than 43 degrees outside. However, I wanted to take the truck out for some lunchtime errands anyway. Before doing so, I checked my truck's...

Did you chase the clamp ring studs with a die? That makes working with the nuts so much easier. I learned that one the hard way :whistle: I highly recommend a torque multiplier. You can get a Chinese-made one off Amazon for about $80, then you'll have to find the 1" English sockets you...

I did mine with a 1/2" DeWalt electric impact turned all the way up. I tightened the nuts in an alternating pattern until they wouldn't move any more, then checked them with a 1/4" torque wrench through a 1" 1:64 torque multiplier. The only thing I didn't do was paint the studs, which in...

I'd think that O-ring leaks would be hard to detect when the tire is mounted because the only place the tire would be leaking from the O-ring would be from the gap between the inside edge of the clamp ring and the rim. You'd need a lot of soapy water for any leak there to make bubbles. Check...

Look at that dump truck do the twist o_O

I've learned that even with the wheel not leaking while dismounted, it may still leak when mounted due to the truck's weight squishing the tire. Soapy water in a spray bottle quickly became my friend ;) I discovered a few air leaks at brass fittings this way after noticing enough of a tire...

I used Oatey plumbing silicone grease on my o-rings. It's the stuff from Lowes, non-petroleum. I also wire brushed and painted the sealing surfaces. During assembly I made sure the o-ring was seated correctly on the rim with a hand and a clean paint stick. Then I seated the clamp ring and...

Thanks for that. For some reason I thought there was a lock ring design that used an O-ring, but thinking about it now I don't know how it wouldn't leak barring real tight tolerances or a really tight ring :rolleyes: If you're working on a bolt-together rim, make sure the clamp ring nuts are...

What rims are you working on? The regular lock ring rims or A3 bolt-together rims?

I've seen a few of these posts addressing multifuel fuel delivery issues. I'm trying to get familiar out of curiosity since my deuce has a Cat motor in it, but do the multifuel diesels usually have more-complicated fuel systems than regular diesels? Or is it just a quirk of this motor design...

I suggest posting your question in the FMTV section since this section is mostly for the trucks that came before the FMTV that don't have modern fuse boxes in them. Aside from that I unfortunately don't have an answer for you :( Good luck!
