    Why won't my sprag engage?

    Interesting question on the sprague. Mine does not have an airshift however it would not engage either. I checked the TM's and did the adjustments and it seemed to be adjusted properly. However when backing if not perfectly straight, when placed into forward drive the stearing wheel would...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Interesting how a few key words in these posts spawn additional avenues to check. Kind of like the tv show "House" with everyone brainstorming with ideas until the correct diagnosis is identfied. I LIKE IT! When RL mentioned gravity, I recalled the fluid dropping only to the bottom of the...

    Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    Breakfast at Bob Evan's was great. Plenty of space for parking. Was good to meet fellow SS members, check out different trucks and swap stories. Unfortunately I had an evening commitment and could not make it to Action Figure Bob's, so it was good to at least get out and meet in the morning...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Did not service the fronts. But funny you mentioned the gravity aspect of the fluid leaking out. The fluid only leaks out down to where the hose connects to the bottom of the reservoir. At least that is where I caught it the last time it got that low. However I cannot find any evidence of...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Thanks, I'm confusing myself now. Picture 1 below is what I refer to as the master cylinder. Yes, the fitting I was referring to earlier was bled. I'm getting my terminology confused, sorry. You are referring the J-pipe in picture 2 below correct? The one that enters the center rear of the...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    Thanks to everyones comments and suggestions, I may have isolated the problem. Today I did a thorough inspection following all of the brake lines from the reservoir to the master cylinder to each wheel. I have found absolutely no leaks or evidence of any leaks anywhere. There is also nothing...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    If it were the air pack, would I see fluid when I drained the air tanks? After every use I bleed the air tanks. Nothing unusual has changed from normal, no fluid comes out of the tanks. I no longer have a vent line. This was removed when I added the remote reservoir which was from pegassus...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    I am baffled. I recently replaced all of the rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, inner and outer seals, inner and outer bearings etc. All brake lines were bled and brakes are rock hard. I also added a remote reservoir under the hood so I could monitor the brake fluid level. Here is the...

    Interesting Tool Find

    What is the middle wrench? Lug nut/bud nut? And do either of the other ones fit the compresser for pulley adjustment?

    Generator / Alternator Problems

    Get the truck started by charging your batts with a charger or jump. Take a volt meter and check the output on your alt/gen from the terminals on the rear of the generator. Should read about 27-28 volts. If it is reading that, then it is putting out the correct voltage and the problem lies...

    Turn Signal / Brake Light help

    Just pulled both brake/turn signal bulbs in the rear. Both were blown. Volt meter shows normal votage at sockets when using turn signals and brakes. Very odd that both would blow at the same time, or maybe one was always blown and I just never noticed until the other went. In any event, will be...

    Turn Signal / Brake Light help

    Searched threads and didn't find anything that covers this specific combination. Lots of good info in other threads however most deal with total failure. This seems to be a partial failure. Have tried every switch position and have the same issue. > No brake lights and no rear turn signal...

    rear axle nut question

    My truck is still on jack stands. Waiting for parts to do the other 3 rear wheels which should be arriving tomorrow or Weds. I'm liking the 50 ft lbs. procedure. Can you elaborate on the bearing pre-load issue CTMustang?

    rear axle nut question

    I just replaced a rear wheel bearing assembly and new seals today. The race was set into the hub first by seating it with a tool and striking it flush with a hammer. After assembling everything the hub was then put on and the inner nut was then tightened down as tight as it would go, however the...
