There are no stupid questions. Questions that are not asked will not make you smarter. I do know for sure that reading those incredibly dry and sometimes hard to comprehend TM's are tough. THE PART THAT NOBODY seems to remember - who says Read the TM - is that they went to school...

. Welcome from North Carolina! Picture us please... We like pictures (a lot). Can you tell we like pictures? :cool: Don't hesitate to take a tour through the Technical Manuals on trailers so you know more. They have weights, descriptions of the braking system and the knowledge to repair...

olly hondro , You perfectly described a large computer company that I worked for some years ago. I agree that the "good enough" mentality is why that company who had "the cookie man" leading the group at one point in time is in the crummy shape they are in today. Another perfect example was...

Well, we fall down now and - well - bumbles don't bounce as well as they once did. Recovery time takes a little longer now. Laying down on the old hard cold (or wet) ground takes "it" out of you more now too. Getting up off the ground is more work too. Clamoring up and down the side of the truck...

. The hardest part for people to remember is that everyone isn't an engineer. Everyone isn't a CAD/CAM draftsman either. We (99% of us) want to or are willing to spend a few dollars to get what we want or need. Especially if it is something that makes our lives easier or simplifies something...

Dang good idea. A real mechanical gauge on the tank would be a nice way to verify pump pressure. Especially while you are "building air" as you walk around the truck and kick the tires n stuff :cool:

. My interpretation is that the fuel pump could be weak or is losing its prime. It could also be a fuel line that has started to or has partially collapsed. Both good places to start looking at fuel issues. .

. Neat! I don't have a burning need to fix mine at the moment, but when it happens - the right tool for the job would sure be nice. THANKS and when you get it tested I would be happy to have a set in the toolbox. .

Silly question... Is it "cold related"? Does it start easily in warmer weather? If so, the $20 fix might be a hair blower (dryer) laying in the intake for a maybe 5 or 10 minutes. Creates a way to preheat the intake air... If the truck doesn't start easily on warm day - then this is all...

. Don't know if you can advertise here or not. If not, please PM me a message to price me a set of seal drivers and shipping to Charlotte, NC 28206 please? I have been looking for a reason - something useful that I could do with a 3D printer. This is the first thing I have found so far. Lots...

. My absolute best airplane quote was by Chuck Yeager: "If you can walk away from a landing, It is a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing " .

. I just can't say anything much more than WOW! Very Impressive. Soooo Neat... .

. Your picture post seems to have worked perfectly. Welcome to the site from North Carolina! There are quite a lot of guys here who know portable power. Don't hesitate to post pix and grab the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your new green hardware. Tim .

. Different Koreans maybe? .

I had a civilian version that had a thicker than normal radiator (1979 model). Replaced the thermostat shortly after the first cold snap happened. That truck never got warm. The defroster wouldn't and the heater blew more cold than heat. I tried several different thermostats and even a...

That was a pretty neat article. We had a RFID product for a customer that was the "box tag" for shipments. Was a nationwide company that shipped and received and the tags were queried to verify what came and went out of their warehouses. Neat job for a printer to be involved with!! Their...

CAT 7155 Service Manual is scanned and also went through OCR so it can be searched. Scan by me (Mullaney) Book provided by 290smallcam

Sad, but if all you lost was a busted line - you can definitely be a HAPPY guy. Not smoking your transmission is a definite plus and a lot less costly! .

Welcome from North Carolina! Hope you enjoy your new toy . . . Be sure to take a few pictures and post them here. We really like pictures. Hate to hear that you burned up your transmission? Tim .

. I like that nose... Nice front bumper! Tim
