[infidel got me]

395's add low end. He may be able to hang with the forced induction crowd now, till 50-55mph.

Pass the popcorn please...

Wrapped my steering wheel with 550 cord. Feels much better now.

Nice job on the wrap.

Have you done this kind of stuff before, or did you tackle this cold?

I went in cold, watched a couple different techniques on YouTube. It is knotted, took over 50', probably closer to 100'. Next I will do the spokes in a contrasting color. Kids want me to do the grab handle too...

I would have to use JB Weld to fill in the bad spots or it would look like a winch let go slack a few times too many!

Good job!

NOW you've gone and done it.

You made yourself the designated expert. The word will get out.
You are totally DOOMED.

I like the paracord wrap man good job.

Like said above im gonna need to fill some cracks in the spokes before i could ever wrap mine.

hello again folks, well i have been driving in reverse for an hour getting home. my m931 was getting a test run and i stopped to turn off. when i put my foot on the pedal it wouldnt move like the park brake was on. it will only rev slightly in all forward gears. it doesnt have neutral but it will go in reverse in R and neutral. So.........i backed in a circle in the middle of the road and backed home. air pressure is a little low . about 110 on both gauges. no wipers or horn . like there is no air pressure. i can hear air purging like through a baffle but it got too dark to see. does anybody have any ideas?

 

[rhurey]

Well reverse has a lot of torque. So it sounds like you backed it home with the spring breaks engaged.

 

[jcollings]

power system through glad hand with a air compressor, with the truck off, get the squirtbottle outl mixed with some. Dish soap, look for leaks and listen that's for the air problem only.

 

[bigsix]

I checked the spring break and drums weren't hot. I even used the override just in case

 

[bigsix]

My main concern is that it was in reverse in R and neutral.

I bet there's a cramp in your neck like just can't be believed.

Blow real hard backwards into the horn and post a pic.

Just kidding. It is probably your pressure protection valve. See if you can take it apart amd clean it, whack it with a block of wood, or simply replace it.
