. I can't really remember manual steering gear boxes having any sort of vent. Just straight up logic says "who cares" in the design. Mostly because you couldn't turn the gears enough and often enough to create pressure in the system. I have a few newer steering boxes laying around here and...

. Wonder if using a washer "ahead of the light box" on the left or right would turn the light to "straighter than it is"?

. Good Plan! I understand completely.

. It is always difficult to hunt and fix ignorance. That is the most frustrating part of buying a new-to-you vehicle. You are required to find all the "half-ast" fixes from the PO... Sounds like you have made good progress so far. And having buddies that can be standing around to look for...

. Red and Sticky is good stuff. Honestly, with lubricants today I don't think you would find anything that isn't perfectly acceptable on the shelf at the auto parts store.

. Not really sure about locked or unlocked Allison, but the transmission definitely helps slow down the truck. The Allison starts down-shifting as it gets down to the proper speeds to help reduce your speed...

. That console is really NEAT!

. It's a no BS thing!

. Oh, that stuff we called mission creep back in the old days... :cool: Yessir my original purchase of a M936 that needed a few hydraulic hoses turned into all sorts of other things - and it is still being worked on a couple of years later. Now I need to remove the radiator and have it...

. Based on your description, I am of the opinion that the new parts are going to solve your troubles. Can't wait to hear how it all works out... .

. So... Any new news or pictures to share? Inquiring minds want to know.

. Don't feel foolish... Nobody will ever fuss and say why you didn't check the fuel filter first! Fuel isn't as clean as it once was and "go go juice" is a requirement.

. Nice looking weld work! Lots of pushin and movin and cuttin... .

. Have to agree with you. What about the engine oil? Anything there looking "milky"? Yeah, I see it is on the auction site... .

. Awlright!! That's good news for sure.

. Have to laugh to keep from crying... Yes sir, a tilt can make you happy or grumpy - all depending on your outlook. .

. The smaller parts like the tire lift are okay. The key for these vehicles is maintenance. Most of them have been sitting out in the desert for a few years - and we really don't know how (why) they were sidelined (parked). The cab jack and the tire lift can be operated two ways. One is "air...
