Is that before or after Brad's place ;)
Seeing as both things I need right now, he will not sell, then I don't NEED to go there...
Seems that most of the things I wanted there he wouldn't sell. Oh well.
Anyone want to have a small convoy heading north starting around exit 71?
Kind of like last...
I don't have the extra frame up here with me right now.
Besides, I was going to use that as an 'experiment' with different thicknesses of glass.
Worst case, having a spare is a good thing, especially with the 4 trucks I have that use the same windshields!
I 'might' be able to get it back to the Yreka area (same ranch you picked up that 109 from.)
But that is hard to tell for me and timing.
I usually ride south with an empty trailer, and north loaded to the gills.
Jwaller got it, if you keep the rpms the same, mpg will remain the same.
IF you keep it running slower though, I went from 5 mpg stock to 7+ mpg with the 16's on it.
Slower with the 16's is like 55 mph or so, which is fine for most usage. My truck will cruise at 65 mph without much issue, just...
Ah well, if you have a nice brake like that, then you should be able to bend up a piece to make it look perfect!
Weld it in, grind the welds, epoxy primer and paint, and you won't see it was cut!
My rails are too rusted though, so I have to cut the entire length off each side, so it's no big...
Oh yeah, you are not really trying to push the flat spot out further, but to make the shaft itself oblong so that it pushes against the opposite side of the shaft from the flat spot. Making the opposite side more oblong like that will push the flat spot into the groove just fine, and keep you...
Doghead got it, squeeze/smash with vise grips. Works really easy actually!
Just do it in SMALL amounts, and run it even down the sides, then start the next level. You don't want it kinked or breaking on you.
Took me just a minute or two to do the whole thing (once I got my brain wrapped around...
I plan on cutting out the fenderwells like you have done, but I was just going to use that same metal for most of the filler metal. It IS the same shape and all ;)
As for the outer rail, the bed I am using has a bit of rust on it, so I was going to just put an entirely NEW rail that goes from...
I doubt the tape would really work for this, just squashing the whole thing some so the flat part sticks out further would probably do the trick.
Take a look at the side opposite of the flat blade, is it worn down? That is what mine was, and it was an easy fix (that took me a while to figure...
Pull the starter, it is easier that way! I tried to mess with the solenoid with it on the starter still in the truck, not worth the time!
As for the tach cable, the part on the top of the IP is correct. If anything is wrong, you might have the wrong tach cable end.
But on mine, I just...
It is NOT air OVER hydraulic, it is air ASSIST. There is a big difference, as air over hydraulic DOES require an air brake endorsement, and the air assist does NOT require the endorsement.
Now, if you pull even a M105 that has the air over hydraulic brakes, that does require the endorsement.
Not entirely sure just yet. I have to plan ahead for getting Saturdays off, and I don't know the store's outlook right now.
I will post up when I know more about it though!
Glad to hear the turbo is still working good for you Josh. You ever finish putting a gasket on the exhaust side?
I might bring the 818 this time. I won't be after parts this time, so I won't mind driving the bigger truck (or I could just bring the flat bed trailer and take LOTS of parts!!!)...
1/2" ID from the tanks to the selector. 3/8" ID from the selector back to the tank.
You can easily replace the line from the filter to the IP with a -12AN hose setup.
With the cummins using the IP as the lift pump, you want the least restriction you can get.
If you plan on bigger power, run...
