R.T.F.M. READ THE F#*@ IN MANUAL! :deadhorse:

:doh:

What's up man! :beer:

Forget the solids, gotta pull everything off! They tear too. Then you gotta pull everything off again. Get the zipper style. Takes four hands to do it. Takes less than an hour. Or get the solids and pull your hub assembly off and repack the bearings, change your inner and outer axle seals.

Yeah I tried to lube the new air pack by removing the plug.... Stripped that one out too! I had to lube it through the "J" line.

To update on the Big Ugly... I replace the airpack with a brand new one. The old airpack was not all crudded up through. I am gonna rebuild it. I gave the brake system a good bleed with a pressure bleeder (Thanks Walt!). The brake pedal is not hard at the top anymore. The brakes engage on...

Again, I work at a bank, and have a degree in business mismanagement. My current education is being earned at the prestigious GIT 'ER DUN SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS. This site is your new curriculum. The people on here are your teachers. Enough Said!

REALLY?! You will be the most reliable mechanic you know! I work at a bank and just replaced the head gaskets! Just read and apply! :beer:

Just found out there is a car and truck show at Chili's in Macedonia Commons every Sunday from 3pm to 8 pm.

RTFM! The deuce is man time including the MANuals! Use the search function! Can cross reference symptoms and diagnosis without finding out the hard way. Like Brake light switch, or head gaskets, or air pack. I work swing shift, take care of the kid in the morning, no excuses, make time...

I use state farm. 36 bucks/half. no garage restrictions. Just took pictures, plated historical - because it is. I put the Big Ugly in a car show and won "Best Original Truck" and the picture was in the local paper. My insurance agent sent a laminated article in the paper congratulating me...

I dig the M-14 too!

Yeah, every time I see Jatonka's avatar or quonsethut's pics, I can't help drooling all over myself. I love these gun trucks! I appreciate the time going into them too! You guys are true historians!

Air tool oil is the consensus. There is a plug on the back of the air pack (the old long air pack) that you can squirt some oil into. BUT... you may not be able to free it up. There is no plug on the new style (short). You can disconnect the "J" line on the back of the pack and put some...

Balloons are air packs in a way, :-P Type in air pack in the search thread. I'm sure pics are in one of the 22 threads. And by the way, the posts by Cranetruck and Recovery 4x4 have been the "lectures" accompanying my manuals. I learned about oiling the air pack last year from one of...

I know it's an air pack problem. That will be handled shortly. The MC is new. I was helping the previous owner replace the MC and the air pack before I bought it.The air pack was off a parts truck. It makes sense with these symptoms that the hydraulic brake light switch would work and not...

Well if it's not one thing..... Long story short, I limped about a mile home in third gear. The pedal was rock hard on the last stop sign before home. Stupid me, I should have pulled over. When I parked it, smoke came out from the front and the smell of brakes. I crapped my pants.... I...

Check the leaks on the motor and underneath the truck. Look for any drips on the tires. Take it for a test drive. When you get out of the truck, be careful not slam the door on your woody and fork over 4K, but try to get it lower.

By the way.... I am replacing that kinked fuel line from the primary fuel filter. I can't flare pipe to save my life!!!! It's really funny.:oops:

I asked my father in law about this. He had a problem like this on his ford ltd. 2 things things happened. The starter solenoid went bad and the gear never disengaged. As soon as he hit the gas, Boom! But your starter is new. My question is could the solenoid have gone because of the...
