For this recovery with the Ryder truck it was a solo mission, so I did not use the winch. Being that the winch is much easier with two people. I used two 4" x 20' straps on the front shackles attached to the frame of the box truck one on each side of frame rail. I dug out the wheel that was in...
Installed a middle seat belt for the middle seat, also installed some tweeters for the radio. Got a phone mount so my phone can be mounted somewhere instead of bouncing around on my lap!
Yes use two wrenches, one to hold it where you want it and one to tighten it down. That is how I did it on mine.
Love the updates and awesome truck! Subscribed!
Busy day today! Big Mike's brake light air switch and kit came in yesterday and got it installed today. Now my lights work correctly. I had one burnt out bulb luckily I had a spare from another set of lights Jeffrey the previous owner Included.
Also had an off road recovery that our normal...
Have not yet inspected the master, but did do a few nice things! Installed a new brake switch hydraulic one, and now the brake lights stay on! Ughhhh. Any ideas there? There were off on install then I pressed brakes and they stayed on.
Ordered the air side brake light upgrade kit from Big...

edit: reason picture came in middle of text and to add info about the tires not being damaged.
Well turns out I do not have the 3 inch octagonal socket I thought I did, such a bummer when you think you have the tools for the job and don't. New one will be here tomorrow eod.
Was able to find...
Thank you for the welcoming!
Truthfully I was told what engine it was but do not recall. I have it written down. I will look up how to tell and then refer to my notes as well and report back likely tomorrow.i think I was told something like lti or Ltd Hercules? But I could be grasping at some...
Howdy All!
Just purchased this 62 on Mothers day in Saginaw TX from possibly another member here named Jeffrey. Real nice fellow. We attempted the drive home to Seguin Tx 270 miles. Made it about 75 miles and the brakes were dragging resulting in a fire on middle passenger wheel. We used 4 of...
