. Dilute at 10-15 percent and find yourself a piece of cardboard to start with. Spray that and see how it works - and be sure it isn't dripping and spitting. Then find an old piece of metal - that doesn't soak up the paint and see how that works. No need to make a mess of your truck with...

. Is it possible that the shoes need to be adjusted to the drums? There are 4 adjusters on each wheel. There is a hole that you slip a feeler gauge in to and if I remember .015 is a workable number. The bottom two are cams - and you can go the wrong way. The TM's (Technical Manuals) will...

. Gotta agree with you on the RAPCO paint @Mogman . It is good stuff and they have great customer service. I have placed several orders over the years, and I have never wondered when my stuff is going to arrive. Order and it just shows up in a couple of days...

. A lot like a ping pong ball in a fuel tank... Not really because most pickup tubes are filtered with a "sock" But these heaters... No so much. Trash on the bottom of the pickup tube and it is over like @Guyfang mentioned.

. IMO, regular old sulpher based gear oil for manual gearboxes and transfer cases and front and rear axles works just fine. You won't do anything but spend money you don't need to spend going synthetic in those. First time you drive through water, you need to drain and change...

. Most of these pieces of Green Iron get way less mileage than a regular passenger vehicle. If you don't drive it a lot, oil changes should be attended to more frequently to make sure that you don't gather condensate in your lube oil. If you get the motor and gearboxes hot (warm?) enough to...

. Have you considered taking the solenoid apart and lightly sanding the big washer inside the "tube" and then wiping it down and reinstalling it? Sometimes just turning the (heavy copper) washer over is all you need to do... Whatever you do, don't throw the old solenoid away. They can...

. Whhooo! Will the real BoughtNoBuilt please stand up and take a bow. If you haven't figured it out - we are gonna have fun here!

. Responding 1,2,3. Can you see me now? :cool:

. Sometimes it helps if you click on the LOGIN button that solves that sort of problem. I have clicked the "Red X" unintentionally and came back later and got a similar error (problem). If that isn't working, be sure to let us know...

. Glad to hear that you survived your ordeal!

. Air pressure (a rag at the filler nozzle tube and 3 to maybe 5 pounds of air) will help. Cranking and if it will run - a high idle is a good plan too. Otherwise the video will be your plan... Hope it goes easy.

. I could rant for hours... Sad part is somebody participating should know better. I would still lock it down and not count on police security. No reflection on the PD, but watching trucks could easily be abandoned for something more urgent.

. It's no fun, but looking at that 4th picture - I think some good old fashioned elbow grease and some anti-oxidizing paste would help. If that looks that way then my guess there are other places that look the same. Disconnecting the battery terminals before you start might be really smart...

. Well said @kendelrio ! I do the same - and I definitely agree about being tired after a show. Lots of lifting and "standing in the way" as they climb back down. But the fun of doing it makes it all worth while for sure!

. Funny (strange) that it happened - but nobody laughed for sure.

. There is nothing like being able to light up your world when working on a project - or if a tire problem surfaces! Definitely like having the ability to turn on the stobe effect if you end up on the side of a heavily traveled road...

. Need to create yourself a FOR SALE ad in the classifieds IAWR.

. It might have had a "helmet top" too. Nice Truck!
