. It would be pretty amazing if that solves your problem! That is part of the wonder of working on your own vehicle. It is a 50/50 proposition. It will improve your situation or make it worse. Right?

. Engine compartment looks really good and REALLY GOOD when she fired off and took you around the yard! So cool...

. Sounds like the backlit version would be a nice way to go!

. A new harmonic balancer would be an incredibly good investment. Old rubber dampening material, riding in a hot engine compartment for 35 years is just asking for trouble. When it goes bad, it goes really bad suddenly too!

. Wow! I wish you were located a little further south... I have gone to several junkyards (I have been corrected too! They are called salvage yards!). Everything air ride that I have found is more in the $300 range - and that is a bouncy seat with a rag for a seat cover.

. chucky, It's either that - OR - maybe Third From Texas or I just drive so dang fast that we have to have a "turn over gauge" so we don't fall over in the middle of the road :cool: Believe me, I am too cheap to have spent $150 for the factory model. It came that-a-way in both of my toys.

. Sad but true wandering neurons You mentioned the magic word. Anything that is Airplane related = Big Bucks

. I thought something similar. I know limited quantities are how things get sold and what appears to be incredibly high prices - but this definitely seems unreasonable. The fancy version with 4 functions was $90 when I was looking at it...

. It is pretty amazing... One of the guys I used to work with at a big computer company was part of the NASA Apollo Computer group. There were three of those in the capsule for redundancy. I recollect him saying many times that we put man on the moon with a slide rule.

. Not sure what you might need to present to a proper locksmith to verify your credibility. With the lock number and knowledge that it is for a 1983 Chevy truck - the right guy should be able to cut a key.

. That surplus version is just absolutely RIDICULOUS. Post #836 is pretty impressive. And it is less money. A lot less with more features!

. Came on my M-1088a1 and on my M1089a0

. Me too! And it isn't even my truck... You have done incredible work Spot_ll !

. I think everybody got a levometer in/on their truck - except you Chucky. Wonder what happened there...? Wonder who stole yours? I have looked and so far - I haven't seen one that wasn't attached to a truck.

. That is a neat find! Amazing how sometimes you just can't see the forest for all the trees :) . The dolly gives (gave) the owner a pintle to drag the trailer around the yard with his big blue tractor?

. You need to find yourself a Navy vehicle. They have a Paint Chipper MOS (Boatson's Mate) on staff! :cool:

. Whatever you think pal -- Ohio or not... I believe what I shared was plain simple common knowledge Seems that I scanned up through the posts, most comments were just that unless I missed something? Tim

. Not sure how sage my advise will be, but there are in-line oilers that you can add to the air feed to the CAT transmission. And another dryer in that same line that you drain daily. Like you already know, that transmission wants (requires) clean dry air. I have recently seen that...

. Good Deal. You already answered my next question. A heavily laden trailer attached to the pintle and no weight on the tandems could push you around in an unexpected sudden stop. AND with no weight on the tandems in the rain pulling a pintle is just plain bad stuff all around. Somebody on...

. Welcome to the outfit! Happy to have you here and don't hesitate to ask questions and post pictures of your potential new green friend. The M-1088 is a tractor, so I have to be nosy and ask what you might be dragging around. The 5th Wheel on that truck is about 5 feet high, so a lot of...
