There is a "slip ring" and "brush" that is on the steering shaft. That provides the connection up to the horn button. I had to replace all of those pieces on mine when it started doing the same thing. I had to pull the steering wheel and the steering shaft out to get to it all. Big mikes motor...
I temporarily rerouted the hoses to bypass the coolant filter and the heater worked! I am now going to route the hoses so that the coolant filter is in parallel with the heater core.
I have not replaced the filter yet, as I only installed it a few "miles" ago, so I can't answer your question about the drain back.
I looked at your diagram. That's the way that I have mine installed, except i have a coolant filter too. I have it installed in series with the heater core. I am...
Ahhh. I am having an issue with not enough heat, and I have the filter and heater core in series and folks here have suggested that the filter may be reducing the flow through the core........
I'm not following your hose layout...it seems that the filter is in parallel with the heater core but still all of the flow goes through the filter....
I added a second tank on the drivers side where the tool kit was. I used a regular tank with the in tank pump. I connected the two via a set of check valves to the main fuel line. I set up a motorized valve to switch the return lines properly. With one switch in the cab, I can switch between the...
Great photos. More confirmation that my spring are old and weak....like me I guess! LOL!
Good observation on the spring perches! Definitely are going to mill them down for a proper caster angle.
Cattlerepairman, yes I understand the same info, more leafs on a winch truck. i have been told that they are almost flat as well. Just my experience with the shocks not fitting when completely collapsed concerned me. We'll see when i replace them....may have the same issue, but my 50 year old...
Here are a few photos. The new springs on the floor appear to have a 4" arch to the centerline of the bushing holes.
The old mounted, loaded (with a winch) springs appear almost flat.
I hope this helps. I may take a few photos after I get them installed. That may be a few weeks though.....honey...
My transfer case plugs were rounded. I too contemplated welding a big nut to them, however,I was fortunate enough to be able to get a good enough "bite" with a regular pipe wrench and get them out.
I am going to be replacing my front springs soon. I already have the new replacements.
I replaced the shocks about a year ago and had a helluva time getting them on, even when fully compressed.
My assumption was that the springs were weak. I am going to perform the caster fix to the upper...
