Mine is bad on my 5 ton. I have found a used one, but it has been worked on, and while my rad shop says it's okay, I did find the MFG of my heater. I have the 30,000/Hour BTU version. It looks like it has been upgraded, but still has the same footprint. Here is the link HW30 Hot Water Heater
Man, am I glad I went the SF97 route. My GL title is at the PO right now, waiting for me to go down and sign for it. I will wait until Jan, as all my other vehicles come due at the same time.
On the front, those gladhands are for towing. They have one way check valves to prevent air from coming out. They should be painted the same as the ones on the rear. The glad hands on the rear are marked EMERGENCY and the other SERVICE. Emergency should be painted red, and has full system air...
My 814 has a hunting problem at idle. I was guessing that the primer pump is sucking air, but now I might replace the rubber line between the filter and IP also.
While not an Deuce, I drove my M814 home 800 miles. But I had a very knowledgeable buddy with me, and a chase vehicle. We also pulled a complete top to bottom inspection of all the major components of the truck.
Gee, if I could get the time off, The Long Easy would be the perfect vehicle. There is enough room in the bed for a 3 room house, and she rides nice with the long wheelbase. I just can't take 6 weeks off from work to go.
What an back assed way to do a pretrip. Start at the top, work your way down. Check each subsystem completely, then move on to the next. ****, I'll bet it takes him 45 minutes to do a pretrip. I am allowed 22 minutes for a tractor and trailer, and most of the time I can spend 5 minutes of...
I took the test in a 1995 IHC short nosed tractor, for the company that I work for. J Waller is right- The 818 will not work with the air brake tests. As delivered, the 818 does not have a dash mounted trailer supply valve, or an air operated tractor parking valve. The 818 also does not have...
I have taken the Ga CDL test, and passed on the first try. It requires you to do a parellel park with the the tractor and trl, along with the 100' back. I was quizzed a lot by the examiner about the air brakes, while driving the test route. You also have to make a "non standard turn" which in...
Gimpy's been huffing deuce exhaust again. Blinky Blinky indeed. It's supposed to be on off on off on off, or if you like digital, 01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,:cookoo:0
The **** truck was built to run 50 MPH. At 50 MPH, it will carry you, anything that you want to put in the rear, and anything that you would like to tow, all at 5.6 MPG, to the moon. If you wish to go faster, it will cost you more in mods and work, then a truck that is designed to go 75 MPH...
Just an update. Spent the week chasing 10-32 taps and dies, and then trying to find 10-32 hardware. What is the deal with all the fine thread hardware? Replaced the right hand mirror, with new SS all thread, and then replaced the spreader bar on the left side mirror. Drilled the holes to tie...
