What is this goo??

Somewhere on here (I think) someone posted a link to a training site for heavy truck mechanics that discussed different types of spring packs. It said the surfaces of the springs that touch each other (the top & bottom) should not be painted or treated in anyway. Something about the metal needing to slide back and forth.

I had never heard that before- anybody else?

That 925A2 I used to have had this issue... This, along with the fact that the doors made noise and the mirrors were not adjusted correctly is what led me to ultimately scrap the truck.

Wow! And I thought I was picky...

I think that just might have been me: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...e-depending-on-the-road&p=1666140#post1666140


It's the way I learned it ... Do a google search, there is a lot of similar information on the subject out there.

Yep- that's it! Very interesting stuff I never even thought about. Thanks for posting the link. I'm no mechanic and I am constantly amazed at how much goes into designing and building a motor ve-HIC-el.
