. Doubt it is snow. They are somewhat rugged. Stacking junk on top, sure. That happens. Soldiers on the roof is a possibility too...

. Depends on how much effort you might want to put in to it. I have read here that several people have used WD40 wiped on will bring back some of the dull sheen. Might need to have a case of scotchbrite pads too because CARC is rough. Tends to gather strings out of the wiper rags. Good way...

. Dang nice to hear a good (and easy) recovery story! Congratulations on getting your New-To-You truck home.

. Suggest you do both. Torn boot will only get worse with time and if you have a "sulfur smell" then you can be pretty certain that the seals are leaking too. Fix the one with the problem, then while you are still good at it - fix the other one too. Bummer. Been there and done that. There...

. Just need a donor cab - and then the hard part - finding somebody with the skills. Gotta chop up the one you have on the back and the new one on the front, then "glue" them together with a welding device. Then move everything behind the cab you have now back about three feet. Then install...

. @kendelrio , Thanks for taking the time to write that story. I'm proud to be associated with people like you and a lot of others in this outfit as well.

Same with shoe strings being tied to the brake peddle when sleeping in the cab of a bucket truck. After lunch, all relaxed, nodding off and it makes your "mark" high enough to easily do the dastardly deed. :cool:

. And as I have mentioned in several discussions about getting "slick willy titles" or insurance or blind LLC's -- Just wait until the lawyers get involved if you are ever in an accident.

. Sure is a nice looking truck...

. Not sure what kind of shape the "slides" are above the window are in, but there is a member here that has glass frames. I think he also has the rubber molding to seal the frame to the cab. Guessing that you could weld a window that would open, but you could weld a sheet-metal frame in place...

. That would suck a lot - BUT - it is a possibility...

. Yeah, sometimes it is hard to admit that she's right. :cool: She might have said "I told you so" if something had happened too. Safety is no laughing matter but it made me chuckle to see your post.

. Glad you have help! If you and dad can work on it together it will be a lot more fun.

. Remember too that you can have a manual version of CTIS but it won't be "central". Meaning the Jeep off-road guys do it with some fancy valve stem caps that will lower your tire pressure (for sand for example) to maybe 20psi. Then with your truck's air compressor and a half hour or so, air...

. Hi Austin! Let's get you kicked off right into this adventure of Big Green Trucks! Welcome to the outfit! Download the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your truck. They will BORE you to death if you sit down and try to read even just one, but it will help for you to thumb through the "-10"...

. Thank you sir!

. Like Crazyguyla mentioned, the seal keeps the oil from flowing past the seal on the shaft - so spring side in - will be what you want. You might also using thread lock (NOT Stud Lock!) on those bolts into the soft metal. The blue stuff... Vibration more than anything is why they might come...

. So, Will... Does that add another reason to drive these vehicles regularly? Or maybe if you can't do that or don't have time - maybe a trickle charger on the batteries over the winter?

. Search "Milwaukee Fuel" on YouTube and you will find some pretty good reviews that talk about battery life. The ones that I have are pretty amazing! I have watched several that pulled all 18 BUDD wheels off a semi and trailer without a recharge too... Of course they aren't 30 year old...

. With where you live - the critters haven't learned they need to run. That is incredibly NEAT!! Unless you happen to be on the Dinner Menu late one night... Then all bets are off! .
