It is a very specific process which is covered quite thoroughly in the tech manuals. If you tried to "wing it" you wasted a lot of time.

No. An actual inspection is the only thing that can justify a higher price.

With all of the newer trucks out in the field now, why is the YOM still held to 1976? Seems kind of arbitrary.

They accept it when it is paid somewhere else when there is agreed reciprocity. It's not illegal. It's just an agreement between two entities. I bought a truck in Indiana and paid Indiana taxes. In NY taxes were 1 1/2 % higher so I had to pay the difference. Then they go to Indiana and recover...

The problem with running a truck in "judgement zone" territory like this is, you will never know when the design limit is reached until its too late. Think of it like stretching out one of those little springs in a click-pen. Pull a little further each time and it springs back, then all of a...

Mix up a pail of Spic and Span. Use a nice stiff nylon scrub brush. Apply elbow grease. If they are not oxidized the results will be amazing.

It looks like you have WAAAAAYYYYYYY more patience than I do. Very cool. Gonna look good when its done.

If you use the power to try and do burnouts with the truck from a standstill, it won't last long. IF you use the power for smooth acceleration and power for pulling hills and cruising, it will just be a much more responsive vehicle and last just fine. I LOVE the way my truck drives nice, but I...

Phil are those "pre" DRMO? That is NICE! Compared to mine from surplus......

Its already injected. Why in the world would you want to introduce an ECU into the mix? The mechanical F/I works pretty well, except when it doesn't.

Not in so many words. Its one of those experience items. -10 says its for releasing the spring brake to adjust the manual brake, and that the tank exsists for F. SPRING BRAKE AIR RESERVOIR - Stores enough air pressure to release spring brakes for emergencyoperation in event of primary or...

This is a great thread for those who don't really understand the air brakes in these trucks. If that little knob is pushed in, which those who know air brakes would probably do from muscle memory, the truck will only be parked on the little manual parking brake on the drive shaft. That is...

On the one that is NOT expelling air, make sure the spring brake over ride knob is pulled OUT to normal. If its pushed in the spring brakes get a constant supply of air and will never set.

Another option is a CUCV with 4:11 axles and a turbo install. Will do alot better on the highways for sure. What about a suburban clone? I have seen a few of those done, and a gasser might work better for you for this description. But......depending on how far you have to go, can't arrive...

I still have one here that I would prefer not to move south.

I was referring to 1 Patriot, that's why I quoted his statement.

If your PPV is stuck, you are not getting accesory air. Your gauges are only for the primary and secondary braking systems. Need to free that up first before CTIS will see anything.

Many people replace them with Goodyear G177 11x20s that are on the 939A0 trucks. Relatively inexpnsive and a great tire.

Welcome aboard, since you stated you don't know anything about them, myself and many others will advise you to download the Tech Manuals (TMs) and become intimately familiar with especially the operator manual. You will love the truck I am sure.

I am 12 miles off of exit 34 in NY and work from home so unless I am traveling I would be close by.
