Lots of different solutions are available depending on your situation and use. I plan to install a heavy duty keyed switch rated for 24V. They are common on large earth moving equipment. I re-keyed the doors on my previous truck. Right now I'm using the drained air tank method and relying on...

Wayne at Power Packer sent me this PDF of the PP997900 repair kit. I'm starting to see how this is going to work now! Still waiting on the guys from Ohio Hydraulic to get back from vacation and ship my order on Monday.

I kind of like the redundancy of having two V belts on the alternator. Am I crazy? I'm getting ready to change my belts, so I'll probably feel differently after I work through that...

How does that work Ken? Are you concerned about the adhesive letting loose? I would think something like this would work better than painting some kind of coating inside the cab

I have a new rigid fiberglass one on this M-1083. I should probably paint it too...

I know the exact feeling you had when realizing what happened. I can't even tell you how many moments like that have happened to me! Your efforts are to be commended. I am enjoying the photos in your build thread. Keep em coming!

Traction and ground surface? Heavy dumpster on gravel or mud = no go Seems like a better job for a 5 ton

Novaman, I am interested in hearing how this S8 abrasive cleaning process goes. I'm in the same boat, but do not have a spare S8 to test. I'd like to clean in place albeit very gently to see if I can better results than deoxit alone.

Welcome Gramjensen! I'm no CUCV expert, but us TN SS guys have to stick together. I hope you get your wiring sorted out.

:shrugs:

Ok, I made a call to PowerPacker today an spoke with a very helpful gentleman named, Wayne Turner. He did some digging and followed up with this PDF drawing of the bushings used for the shock end. PN 2010000272 At this point, I need to wait until the new parts arrive as I may be...

I got it apart and was not confident any of the rubber parts could be reused. So, I just ordered the PowerPacker # PP997900 repair kit for this unit from Ohio Hydraulics in Columbus. Once the order was placed, I received an auto generated email stating they were shutdown and on their annual...

I'm glad to hear damage was limited. That swirling wind action causing shingles to leave abrasions on the windshields is weird. Can the scratches be polished out?

I had time yesterday to remove the drivers cab air spring. I have started disassembly, but have not got it completely apart. The bag is a bit dry and cracked on the surface, but the leak appears to be the seal at the bottom of the bag. I'll post more once I get it apart. Here is how I...

I've had many lights start acting like they should if I just take things apart and re-assemble. It seems like connections can become compromised from just sitting not being used. I believe the cab lights are suspended in a rubber mount, so you may want to check the ground wire connection inside...

Sapphire, it sounds like you have already built a good amount on your truck! I can certainly appreciate your choice to fix rather than sell or part out. We would love to see photos. Do you you have a build thread we could read? I'm glad you got your truck back on the road. Enjoy the rig, that...

Welcome from Mid TN. I'm on my second truck (and generator) in roughly a year. Just jump in the water is fine!

Thx snowtrac. Another good item to check while the hood is up. Diagnosis of this symptom may be getting my own thread off topic, but I've also had some weird start ups... It fires and then acts like it is only hitting on 3 or 4 cylinders for a few seconds... Again, could be the solenoid or the...

I do run fuel additive. Usually the Power Service white bottle. I have also run some Optilube XPD in previous engines, but am no longer buying that since my VW TDI was "returned to sender" in the emissions scandal buy back. I suppose I have driven the 1083 about 150-200 miles with additive in...

Is the relay you reference in the PDP or on the fuel shutoff solenoid itself?
