    Air Rupture In Cab - What Is This And How Did It Happen?

    I think these guys are saying "do your homework, just like we did.." It's ok not to know air brakes, but you need to study this stuff extensively BEFORE you go out on the main roads. I have a map of the air lines in my truck in a binder with lots of other reference materials. These trucks had...

    New ongoing opportunity upcoming to move my Expedition Campers across US

    Hello Felipe, Sorry for the very late reply. For some reason I am not getting alerts from SS. These campers are a foam / fiberglass composite. They are strong, but need to be carefully tied down to truck beds. Attached is a picture of the camper, to give you an idea of what we produce. Brit

    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    I use both electric linear actuators and hydraulics. Recently I used two linear actuators to control the pivot of an attachment on a cherry picker.

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    I went pure hydraulic about 3 years ago. No issues. I carry the hand pump, but it is not connected. I use a Haldex electric hydraulic pump. Have extra one for back up AND can connect the manual pump if all else fails. Carry extra hydraulic fluid.

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    I want to understand the Neihoff issue more in-depth. Are replacement parts available for these units from the manufacturer? Anyone tear into one of their regulators yet to see if there are parts that could be replaced inside or are these potted in epoxy? Brushless style alternator produce much...
