    Wheel Cylinder Rebuild Issues, Re-use Outer Seals

    On the last axle service I did on my 939 series just for smitts & giggles after about 20 miles I pulled one axle and checked the preload. Believe the first 150/200 Flbs. is very important to get the bearing seated and all grease pressed in. Then normal 50 lbs and your back off. Chris's dad did...

    Wheel Cylinder Rebuild Issues, Re-use Outer Seals

    As the TM's call for that last 1/4 back off I think that is too much. Every large axle calls for that 1/4 back off and they don't run the grease hubs seals but oil bath. I only back of 1/8 of a turn so as to keep the outer seal tighter. The last Ga. Rally Chris's dad just had the axles serviced...

    Injector line leak

    From what I read looks like you have more than one problem. When I am looking for a leak at the head I cut off the stupid tin number cover. Just right down your firing order. Then I clean off the head and run/inspect to locate where the leak really is. I have not seen the parker fittings and...

    5ton hard top suggestions

    Guess its what you want. Hard top/soft /fiber/ or sheet steel. One large piece or gage and some good cutting and I bet someone better than me fold and weld up a good solid cab cover. I love soft top and the windshield down. But a fire truck I still think someone could make a cover and be even...

    Brake questions

    Don't get me wrong case this guy is always there to help but at the Ga. rally he had me drink something that made me piss my paints. I was sitting in the tent with the boys and he said I have something for you. He jumped up turned around and gave me a wink said I will mix it up right here in...

    Brake questions

    Yea Rusty price should not be a factor but performance of a fluid. I do drive so slow sometimes. I also look so far ahead of traffic or even figure the light is going red on me I take my foot out of it way early. Sometimes the truck come to a stop by itself or very littler braking needed...

    Hood removal

    This is where a contortionist come in handy. Use to take me about a min. to get in the cab backwards and up side down with one leg one way the one leg somewhere else. Once on the back easy to see and work. Just don't drop tools or the stuff you are working with. Also fat boys need not apply for...

    Why does Iron Planet hate me?

    They might be just taking longer to assemble the S.W.A.T. team as they have a lot of people to take down. I started to pack my bags and head out when my paper work came in and no worries.

    RV hook up to a MEP-803a

    Most of the bigger RV's have 50a 240v. I don't use the 240v for my RV but use it for my plasma cutter where I am working. http://rexandsonsrvs.com/campground-reservation-tips.html
