Maybe you are mistaking the torque converter locking for a gear shift. +2

I don't think we are going to see it launch any where. It's a single belt, how much HP does it take to drive the water pump? I think the force load on the pulley will be within it's design parameters and the fabrication looks very professional so I doubt there will be a mechanical failure. If...

They are easy to disassemble and repair. I did mine without taking it off the truck and it took about 15 minutes.

Nice fabrication.

I've seen dump trucks and garbage trucks that have a channel with a pin through it bolted to the front bumper to make it easier to pull them if they get stuck. Maybe you could make something similar to go on the front of the bumper that would also reinforce it.

Nice job!

Freightliner dealer?

Here's the air pump figure and part list from the TM. I hope it helps. Good luck.

Neat truck! How about some pictures of the inside of the cab? Welcome.

Do what you're good at I always say. Save a spot under the awning for me. :beer: I just Rain X'ed the windshield in case it rains.

With any luck I will be there around noon on Thursday.

Welcome from Orlando.

I really like the tool box cover Ray!

I have noticed the fonts vary. The fonts on my trucks are slightly different from truck to truck. As long as you are doing them all it won't matter much if you don't have to match existing letters. I made my own stencils and actually customized some of the letters and numbers to be the way I...

I decided a long time ago it's easier to change brake pads or shoes than a clutch disk. If I'm on a long grade I'll use the correct gear that let's me use minimal braking; but I generally don't down shift while stopping. If you need to down shift, just make sure to slow it down so you don't...

Sometimes the transfer case air cylinder leaks. I had this problem. The seals are easy to change. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?77497-5-Ton-Transfer-Case-Air-Cylinder-Rebuild&highlight=

Well, it looks like there are a butt load of them coming up. Doesn't make much sense to sell more if there's a hold.
