You guys know these are supposed to be serviced every year or two right? There are rebuild kits out there to keep them in tip-top shape. Its not a "put a new one on and forget it" accessory.

PLEASE, don't let that stop you! We even have a section here for mods and hot-rodding. If the trucks were all the same, they'd be pretty boring.

Not really needed to adjust valves. I have heard of some members adjust them while the motor is running.

I'll see if I can find one in the garage tomorrow and report back.

You should take the air compressor and motor off the air tank and stuff the assembly in a tool box. Being THAT manufacturer, it doesn't fit with the quality tools that are on there AND I doubt they will weather well out in the open. You can put the air tank(s) under the trailer frame for more...

Got any pics inside the bed?

The plastic retainers(for the rockers) are known for falling apart at bad times. While you are in there, I'd replace them.

NO need to look at the TM for that. Remove the old one and put the new one on. Bleed brakes. If you've got to bleed them, might as well pull the wheel cyls and make sure they are good too.

You mean your not supposed to bend them all at the same time?!!!!!! Son of a...

Pretty sure fordmechanic had a thread and told us what he used. Might want to check threads started by him.

I just recently put an oxy/act kit together. I plan on leaving the gauges on and keeping the hose/torch separate till I use it. I put a set of quick disconnects at the hose gauge union and it makes life good! Just another possiblity for ease of use...

You forgot lees traction. Most of the bobbed deuces that play with us at Haspin can't go where the 6x6s go. I'd love to build one to drive around town(and off road occasionally) but after seeing how they perform offroad, I kinda lost interest.

We never got interior pics! How about a shot showing overall truck? Got any info on your power steering setup?

I have some of the stanadyne fm100 filter kits. Ive sold over 100 to the folks here on SS and i am getting ready to put one on my civi 2000 chevy with the 6.5. A quick search should bring up threads about the fm100 with pics.

Just setup your shopvac in wet mode and vacuum while pulling them off.
