I shouldn't have said "new," it is a remanufactured booster from rockauto. Went in well, has worked well for two days.

I used foil faced bubble insulation / heat shield with fiberglass matting in the dished-in area's. I had it on hand. Bought the retainers at Advanced. 18 per box. Bought 2 boxes. Drilled a few extra holes and used them all. I have rubber boots over my battery terminals, just in case.

Newly rebuilt Injection pump ch-ching. Rebuilt 24v Starter ch-ching. changed the drive belts 57 bucks. Drives great now maybe fuel millage will be better. and no more problems fingers crossed

Do you still have the plate installed under the tank? For that matter is the Pintle hook nightmare still installed? If so, I felt your pain. All my chaffing strips fell apart as well and had to get new ones. Thankfully NAPA has sheets of gasket material that is the exact length required..cost 7-8 bucks. Just need to cut it to width. I think its about 3 inches wide by whatever length the tank is front to back.

Have fun and hopefully yours goes easier than mine!

I got that new one from on line, NOS, still in foil bag unopened. Trying to see how your install went and a little feed back in that area. Thanks.

Install went fine... however still had same problem.. little to no brakes.. changed master cylinder... same problem... had found a small small tech note somewhere, either here, or another offroad forum.. all that the problem was, the rear brakes were way out of Adjustment... to the point, of causing the entire system not to work properly... readjusted... re bled... have beem perfect ever since... I just regret not doing that first instead of wasting money on parts, that... really wasnt needed...


Im in the process of completing the hydro assist install.. and no longer need the stablizer.. The hydro ram is taking its place.... I'm having to wait to get a limiter installed in ram to limit travel... as so i wont shear off kingpin studs.. hopefully... that will get done this week....

Well


Spent the weekend... tinkering around in the shop... got alot done considering... i was stuck waiting on my hyrdo ram to be modified...

While waiting, and since the driver inner fender was out, i sanded it down... re eitched primed it.. and painted.. ( the bottom Satin Black.. the top semi gloss... WOW what a difference... Now i will have to remove the batteries.. and do the other side... Thats for another day....

changed out rear axle seals... (never ever a Fun job... on a 14B and drums...)

fixed front axle diff cover leaking..

Scuffed and painted some ammo cans for the back...

Stripped and primed / painted air tank..

Mounted highjack on trailer....


rearranged items in back of mine... going to look into building some sort of track/ drawer system, as so these boxes, can Slide out, making them easier to access....

mocked up mount for 60" highjack in back ...


removed top by myself... wow... it only had 6 of the 14 bolts to hold in place.. and not light.... highly recommend to call a friend for help on that one...
