Yes, that's the one. You can find three-way fittings just not ones with the JIC (AN) fittings on it.

It is much cooler ! I don't feel as if my feet are frying !

I layed the mat down on the floor after painting the floor. I also put it on the firewall and ceiling and underneath the hood. I plan on adding a hard rubber mat for the floor later. On the rear wall of the lower cab I installed a reinforcement plate and before I installed it I put 2" styrene...

Actually the torque converter will be fine, and really is the one you would want anyway. There is nothing you need to change from the transmission back except the exhaust system. The power steering pump should bolt over also. Just get the correct brackets for the 454 engine. The radiator is also...

Your bearings where probably adjusted correctly. Remember your dealing with a truck now and lots of heat. The metal of the bearings will expand during use and if adjusted too tight will cause undue wear and eventual bearing failure. On our busses after removing the jam-nut you can usually remove...

Your just like my brother in that way then. Though he didn't do it for money just fun ! and to terrorize me ! Which I'm sure was fun for him !

I do know what you mean about the rubber components rotting faster after converting to DOT 3. I've seen this happen many times. I have no answer as to why this happens though. With DOT 5 (silicone fluid) the fluid actually helps lubricate the rubber seals and helps extend the rubber components...

Another reason I don't like using the adapter is what if I'm towing my M105 trailer ? I will have to disconnect the emergency line, use the adapter (if I can find it) , fix the problem and then make sure everything is put back together. To many times when your doing a roadside repair your in a...

That is a cool feature the MTV has ! A built in hose reel ! I like it !!!

I could have just used the in-cab one, but when it's cold and raining I don't want to have to have the side door open to run my air hose. I like to keep my cab nice and warm for my old aching bones ! That's one reason I went with dual in cab heaters !

HanksDeuce wanted me to check the noise levels in my cab since I installed the "Dynamat" liner. So here they are. Just a note that I forgot to cover the steering column hole in the firewall so the actual noise level would be lower then the pictures show. I actually took five pictures but only...

Looks like you will be replacing some pistons. Some how something has come in contact with the piston crowns and ripped out chunks. I know it looks small but the damage can be extensive to the rest of the piston crown. It also allows compression gasses an easier access to the sides of the piston...

How do the LED lights compare to the stock bulbs ? Also what kind of service life do they have ?

Now see I can handle spiders all day long, but snakes ! NO WAY !!!! I hate snakes with an unnatural hatred ! My brother is the total opposite. He'll pick-up rattlesnakes and shake them to get them to rattle at him for fun ! For those who don't know Eastern Washington has tons of rattlesnakes...

This is my adapter I already had made up before my little project, but I wanted something simpler and something I wouldn't lose. So I made up the air connectors on each end of the truck.

This was a fun little project I did today. I have a bunch of the air valves for the air hose that normally mounts on the firewall on the passengers side in the cab from several deuces I have parted out. I cleaned them up, replaced the springs, used lapping compound to reseat the valves and then...

Be very careful when using air pressure on any cooling system ! They are not made to handle more then 15PSI working pressure ! At work we pressurize the systems up to 20PSI to check for leaks on the busses, but only for a very short period of time ! For me I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the...

Good job ! She looks reallll Purdy !

So this is a "special" spider ? We have those stupid things all over the place out here ! They can get over 1" long. My wife has a fit every time one gets into the house ! In fact I flushed one down the toilet yesterday. As long as they stay outside I don't care and in fact I "play" with them by...

Yep, in picture #1 you can see the broken piece still in the block. Picture #2 shows it out and the remover I used. You would think that is an easy place to remove a broken fitting, but it's NOT !!!! That is why I went with Stainless Steel. I could have used a regular steel fitting, but they...
