Any luck on finding parts yet?

 

[srodocker]

found a spindle at brads needs cleaned up but it should work. any luck with your buddys parts?

 

[srodocker]

parts ordered...maybe get it put together by the event on the 19th? who wants to come play? hahahahha

 

[Amer-team]

So what do you need to do? Put the new spindle on grease some bearings and get it going back together. When are your parts in?

 

[wsucougarx]

Pretty straight forward install. I take it you haven't touched your other bearings or wheel cylinders yet? Probably would be a good idea to FINALLY get in there and do that

 

[Amer-team]

The 5 ton is good to go. Put a new stainless line on from the aircompressor to the tank, but I think there is still something leaking as it leaks off in a couple of hours. Put on one steel windshield wiper motor and it works, very cool. Especially when it is raining.

 

[Amer-team]

Sorry Coug, wasn't paying enought attention, thought that was to me. Yeah Scott, check out those wheel cylinders while you are in there. Althought mine were new, less than 200 miles, they had changed to DOT 3, drew moisture and they were all rusty. Ended up putting new ones in.

 

[wsucougarx]

Outstanding Peter! Do you hear the air leak when the truck is off? I spent an hour last week chasing down loose fittings. I think I got them all. My truck is still holding 90 PSI after 4 days of not starting her.

 

[srodocker]

Yea its pretty straight forward. I have the tracking # and it should be sent out tonight sometime waiting for it to update. its from eriks so it will be quick. Maybe friday I will have dale and mike ocme over and maybe dwayne and knock out the bearings on all the hubs!

sooooo yea!

 

[wsucougarx]

I've been bugging Scott over the past year about getting in his hubs and checking that stuff out. I think he may finally do that....I hope.

 

[srodocker]

I also have a air leak somewhere but that will be settled when new seats get put in...muahahhaha

 

[Amer-team]

Have been too busy at work to play with it much, but last weekend after shutting down, I would hear an air leak for a little bit and then it would shut off. Have not gone to the TM's yet to see if there is some kind of pressure releif valve. Once it kicked off, I still had plenty of air pressure. Will get the soapy bottle out again and start looking. have some house projects that need to get done and M day on Sunday, so probably won't get much done this weekend. Next weekend AFD.

 

[Amer-team]
