It is tight and the steering box is in the way. Can you remove the injection pump end of the hose and then get an exacto knife up there to slice the hose off the pushLok fitting? You can't install the new hose that way, but it would give you more room to get a crow's foot wrench or similar up...

You are right regarding the oil pan having two deeper areas with the recess for the axle in between them. That is different than having two complete separate sumps. Consider that, when the right amount of oil is in the pan, the oil level is quite a bit above the height of that recess. so it does...

My eyes are recovering from the funky camo job. Green....much better.

I ran SAE 80/90 gear oil in my transmission and it worked. No issues but harder to shift when the weather got cold. I now run SAE 40 non-detergent and it works better.

If the batteries are significantly discharged , the little 25A generator has a hard time charging. Maybe charge the batteries with a proper charger and then reassess. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Check fan and fan-shroud interference as well.

I would loosen the band brake first...might be too tight and/or rusty.

Karl!!! Go get the 10 rims! The OTR tread looks too big rig-ish for me. Sorry. This needs gnarly offroad truck tread tires to look good. Otherwise...might as well go chrome your exhaust stack. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Literally any auto glass place will cut flat safety glass to your measurements. It's a routine process. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

You would essentially be building a new cab. Unless you really like endless endless endless repair work, get a good cab, fix THAT one up while it is off and empty, swap it out and be done with that part. I am sure there is more to fix on a truck that has a cab looking like this....

I appreciate the adventure aspect. Personally, having lived in and travelled extensively in (Western)Europe and adjacent countries, all the way into Russia, I can't jump up and down and say "great idea". If you travelled through western Europe...yes. That is certainly fun; you would get...

Temperature was just below freezing this morning. She cranked for 15 seconds until she fired up, which is normal for a cold start without any starting aids. I tried out the tow lights I got from DERRICK and they work very well (with the repaired trailer receptacle...) Winter is coming and it...

I can confirm that, after pumping what seems like much too much grease in with the pneumatic grease gun, it came out on the back, pushing all the old grease and gunk out. I did that after taking the caps off and installing a grease zerk and inspecting the bearings (were fine). I had the axles...

I drained the coolant, refilled with plain tap water, added CASCADE non sudsing detergent and ran the engine to operating temp. Then I drained again, unhooked the radiator hoses, put the garden hose into the upper radiator port on the block and ran the engine, water gushing out at the bottom...

All you need to do is to loosen the rad bolt nuts at the bottom, unhook the radiator bracket at the top and one end of the upper rad hose and tilt the rad forward. Enough room to get to the four bolts that hold the fan. If you have a w/w truck, put a piece of cardboard between rad and winch so...

Not sure if I ordered a 20" or 18"..I think 20 because it needed trimming. The 18 probably won't. It has been a couple years. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Affirmative, that's the one. 20". Super easy to put on. I am sure the water pump bearings appreciate the lightweight option. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Waterloo specialties makes a basic kit that could come in handy. Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk

After soldering the wires into my trailer receptacle I now discovered I no longer have a right turn signal.....AAARRGGHH. I guess I need to bring her back around and take that darn trailer receptacle apart again. Nothing is more fun than doing things over outside in the cold. Probably a short...

IMHO this is a "must do" modification, given the age of the parts on our trucks. The mod plugs a port in the hydraulic line and removes one nasty potential leak. It is a safety upgrade to install the air operated brake light switch. You can use a civy air pressure operated brake light switch...
