    Trying to repair it will not work, I know because I already tried it. It failed again, blew the Wheel Cylinder apart, and here we are. If you wouldnt mind telling me more about checking the shoe for correct fit inside the drum and checking for "Bell mouthed" drums, it could save me...

    Like I said, damaged shoe.

    The only issue is that the shoe is damaged where the wheel cylinder pushes against it. None of the Shoes look worn out though. I did call them, they didnt think they could even re-line them for less than $30, much less replace a damaged shoe. Rapid brake, and a heavy truck shop on Pacific...

    Well, one of the brake shoes seems to have been damaged. Shortly before I took it for a test drive around the block I had a friend look at the back of the drums as I pumped the brakes, and the wheel cylinder blew out again. Same one as last time, but it looks as though it was due to the shoe...

    While people are coming back after spending way too much time away... Its been way too long for me, but its been a great year! My truck has been parked for 14 months... Distracted with the purchase of my first home, then as soon as I had my savings rebuilt, I switched to a brand new career. I...

    I gave that decision a LOT of thought. I want to, in the future, service the MC, and the airpack, ect. If I were going to use DOT 5, I'd feel that I had to replace every brake hose, rebuild every brake part, (since i only want to spend the money on DOT 5 one time) and I worry I'd never finish...

    Thanks! Mine has about 10%-20% Diesel, but it also has been sitting. It will drain the batteries before it starts. Last time, to get it to start, I pulled the fuel filter bowls down and filled them with Diesel. She fired right up. The research I have done shows that turning up the Fuel...

    Hey everyone. Little update for anyone who remembers me. (I have not been very active the last 8 months or so) I have the truck from Indiana Jones, drove it back from So Cal, a few of ya'll might know my truck by the fact that my tires had some INTENSE sidewall cracks. I think Josh wanted to...

    Im late to say welcome back, but welcome back man! The truck looks great, were you as impressed with it in person? I cant wait till I get to see it up close and personal. My internet time will be sketchy for a few weeks. I am supposed to close on the house in two weeks or so, and then I...

    Two things: 1: have you verified that all the cylinders are receiving fuel? 2: Your turbo is not spinning as fast because of a lack of exhaust volume. If a cylinder is not firing, then all that is being exhausted is some unburnt fuel and some intake air. The volume is there-fore much less...

    When I bought my truck I was pretty ****ed strapped for cash, and 1200 miles from my tools and all around in a bad spot. I had some help from the So-Cal chapter, (Awesome dudes) and then succesfully moved back here to where the money is. My point is I understand that frustration when your out...

    Thanks! It wasn't looking like I could get a mortgage till June, so my plan was to have the truck running good and strong by then, as well as have a bit more saved. Opportunity came knocking, and things started happening much faster than predicted. No complaints, I am going to be so glad to...
