    MTVR air dryer purge valve sticking open

    This washer gets a groove pressed into it from sitting and can no longer seal. I temporarily greased it and added a shim behind it to get me home Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Welcome. I'm down near Pasadena. We're planning a Pismo trip once all this nonsense goes away

    Holden MTO 20

    They have a ton of tongue weight even when they are empty, too much for a pickup truck. You'd be okay moving it around at slow speed but 11k lbs without brakes would be scary

    A/C new install

    I'm having the same problem on my 7 ton. Low side pressure is 18psi, warm outlet air from evap and I charged the system to the correct 2.25lbs of 134a. I think my TXV is either bad or possibly backwards if that's possible. I didn't have the correct high side adapter for my gauge set Sent from...

    Anyone headed to Yermo? MK23

    Yea I go there fairly often because I'm close. I don't know of any trucking companies. United states of freight is a advertiser on this site. Maybe try them

    How to add a liter of displacement to your CAT for about $170

    I like the idea of a sports car where you're only at WOT for a short period. I wouldn't be comfortable going up a long grade at full throttle for a 10 minutes.

    Anyone headed to Yermo? MK23

    They usually don't let people go inspect and you have to argue with them to get past the gate. Even if you are there to pickup they want to bring the truck out to you.

    Need help with unhooked hose

    My starter doesn't have that. Pretty sure that's the moisture drain hose. Alot of starters have them. See the two black hoses in this pic Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    7 Ton transmission oil change

    Jon, loved your video and the commentary is great. My trans has a high level of copper too, likely coming from the trans cooler/heat exchanger in the radiator leaching a bit of copper into the oil. I'm shocked to here that Blackstone didn't find water in the oil. It looks like rust to me. I...

    Oil sample valves, how to use

    Push in and turn slightly to the right. They are pretty neat valves Two tips: 1. Put the cap back on after! If a stick, branch or something were to magically jump out and push on that valve while your on a trail... Bad news 2. For the engine side. It's a sample port, not a drain. You are...
