Very nice! That canvas will last you a good long time, and really looks the part. It's nice to have spares as well!

I took a closer look at your photo above, and I can see some streaking on your wheel adapter...that is usually indicative of a failed axle outer gasket, which is an easy fix (remove 8 bolts/lock nuts with 3/4" socket, pull axle shaft out, remove old paper gasket & install new gasket... available...

Have you given it the Smell-Check to confirm? It can be only one of two things.... If gear oil, it is at least driveable once you resolve the brake issue. The outer axle seal has failed, allowing gear oil to fill the hub & wash out the bearings, and now the inner seal is gone, giving that...

Why are there numbers all over the side of that poster?

WOW, very well-done! The hard work & attention to detail is well worth it, she's gorgeous!! [thumbzup] [thumbzup] I really like the non-skid coating in the bed.

Thanks 1 Patriot-of-many! I was just going to post that....this same problem happened with my truck, with same results you just posted. As just pointed out, try replacing or bypassing this 1/4" flared elbow to see if air pressure will lock up fan clutch, and use rest of great advice others...

WOW! Judging from the condition of the rusted-out fenders, you've done a LOT of work! It looks great, and I'm really impressed with the interior, immaculate and well-done. You'll really appreciate those new seats, I've got a couple thousand miles on mine and they pay for themselves. And good...

I think this is the same setup that 98G schooled me on when he was moving out of Tucson. :mrgreen:

WOW, that looks fantastic! Are the cab & cargo bed covers canvas, or vinyl? They look like canvas in the photo. Very nice truck!! [thumbzup] [thumbzup]

It's a beautiful rig, thanks for sharing with us! Glad to see you are enjoying it, hope you get many more years & many many miles of enjoyment out of it.

Wow, nice truck! Did you build the camper unit, or have it made? Very nice! [thumbzup]

Welcome from Nevada, USA! Do you have any pics of your new truck? We'd love to see it!

Welcome from Nevada, USA.

I had that problem too; it turned out to be a loose bolt/nut on the flasher (firewall mounted) where the ground wire was connected. Once I tightened this nut/bolt down, my turn signal problems were solved.

Good job! [thumbzup]

Hmmmmmm, if one could obtain a TAK-4 suspension, the ride would improve.... :mrgreen:

It was good meeting you in person at our meeting last weekend; I appreciate your service & your enthusiasm for building a custom 5-ton. Fellow member Grendel has a great ongoing thread about singling out the rear suspension and swapping in an air-ride setup (that we discussed). I second all of...

The limitation(s) I see with the 8.3 is the exhaust manifold with the T4 outlet size...I've searched but haven't been able to find a suitable exhaust manifold with a T6 outlet, that would give us a wider choice of better turbos to use. It seems that all the HX50 & 55 turbos I see have T6...

We're having our monthly meeting on Saturday, Sept 17 at 2pm, held at the Marine Corps League building at Spring Mtn/Arville (by American Shooters) if you'd like to drop by...we have quite a few big trucks in Vegas & are kept quite busy. http://www.snmva.com/

Welcome aboard! Great looking expedition rig! [thumbzup]
