    truck pulls to right when braking

    Does the steering wheel begin to shake when you step on the brake? What calliper was replaced? R or L? Did you check your spring pack and frame? Also, 120 psi air is no where near the 1200-2000 psi the system operates at. If your frame and spring pack center bolt is good, it comes...

    truck pulls to right when braking

    By the way, the proportioning valve "proportions front and back. NOT right to left. Don't replace it. Start by tracing the steel line to the left wheel looking for kinks. Then check the calliper and then buy a hose. One other thing, look at the spring pack and make certain the axle is mounted...

    truck pulls to right when braking

    Start with a left brake hose, then left calliper. If it pulls right the right is working and the left is not. I have had on several old chevys the inside if the rubber hose split on the inside and "flap" or "balloon" obstructing the hose under high pressure. They bleed fine as it is generally...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    As I was putting the assembly back together, I thought it wise to take it to the truck and test it before going further. It worked as expected. Easier to fix now that drain fuel and remove the tank again. It is best to test before assembling the 2 housings and stone filters. Assemble...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    Once you get that far put the bottom together. Align the impeller with the groove in the armature and gently tighten the screws. The impeller will rub on the housing at this time, but it should not bind. Keep checking the impeller is free by turning the impeller with an awl from above. You...

    24v carter fuel pump overhaul - M220

    Assembly turned out to be a stinker. Use a 1/2" wrench and remove the nut and threaded adjuster on top of the housing. This is what adjusts the endplay. I installed the new screen and tightened the electrical connection. I placed the armature inside the main body and assembled the top...
