Well, just that time. Maybe a few others.
Never heard of it, must be like BBQ sauce or Vicks or something. I don’t think you should wear a condom when trying to make a kid, or maybe is that what they do in Ohio?
Interesting. Thanks so far. I see places selling a hinge setup like that.
Cylinders are supposedly about 50” long, and 3 section telescopic. May be nearly too long to position outside of frame rail due to fuel tank. May be able to try inboard of frame rail? We’ll see once it arrives...
Test ran the engine today. First time on all 24v system, QSL fuel filter setup, Jake actuators, clutch/trans installed, and Dodge Ram accelerator sensor. All worked well. Power train is complete and ready for install over Christmas break. Test ran without exhaust manifold/turbo.
Sensitive crowd around here. I didn’t tell the OP to pound sand, I simply asked responders what is the advantage of a newer drier over a properly working older one? People list newer ones as better. Why? If they cost the same ss rebuilding the old one, I get it, but otherwise...?
Seeking pics of various hinges used / bought / made when converting a cargo bed into a dump. One hoist mechanism I bought is 3 stage telescopic, so I may be able to go as far up as full vertical, have not done the math yet. No preference on purchase vs fabricate. Also considering to raise bed...

I have a similar setup on a rollback tow truck. No knarly dividers or anything like that, they are simple cylinders, not telescopic, and it works perfect.
Honestly, for me this is just a novelty thing. I'll probably only make it dump to grease the driveshaft U joints and clean the underside...
Update to this thread. The cylinders I got from Bailey Hydraulics took a long time to arrive, and the ports are on the ends of the rods, not the cylinders. Can't really use this config, port location was not listed in the ad. I just bought a used setup of the configuration I wanted. Dual...
May need a snubber. Several ways of doing this. One is to use a liquid filled gauge. Another is to put a restriction in the line at the back of the gauge, like a small orifice.
