Nice Picture!

Son drove it to work yesterday, and today touched up some scratches and getting ready for the first car show starting this week!

Just curious, that jaunt by junior, was that a connection between "cause-and-effect"?

And the truck looks great!

Little progess

ooo NIIICE! That's on my future list, a fuel tank skid plate! Though the second fuel tank looks nice

LOL Thanks, but no cause and effect, just the normal wear and tear of weekly driving!

Guess I could have worded the line a little better!

Tore down the airpack this weekend. It was bad

I'm looking for anyone that has a spare can to the short airpack as mine has some serious pitting.

 

[Valence]

Found out why the horns weren't working, apparently these two plugs were unplugged. Also installed a air hose connection for airing up tires and running air tools.

My suggestion is to put something between that wiring harness and the sharp edge where it passes through the firewall! One day that'll wear through and do a lot of damage to the harness, batteries, and potentially more.

Other places the wiring harness likes to wear (and at least one member has reported a fire) is where by the firewall where the harness crosses over the edge of the frame rails in the engine compartment. On both passenger and driver's side. Mine had a very noticeable wear indentations.

.

I use hose, splitting the piece lengthwise and just long enough to fit the hole. For some areas I make strips of inner-tube and wrap layers. Also have some 3" hd electricians tape too. Or go to the hardware and buy a ready made grommet.

Got these from my local NAPA store. They have them in kits or you can buy them individually. If they don't have a large enough dia. grommet for your needs, then get the largest they have and cut it on one side and fit it into the side of the hole where you have the riding condition. Also as Valence stated spend some time checking your wiring harness for wear. Also check your fuel lines for chaffing wear as well, I had a couple on my truck. Last thing you want is an electrical or fuel fire.

I measured the shim gasket at .020. Checked the lash with the PTO in gear and easily turned the output shaft back and forth, and had a nice small click each way. I have not engaged the PTO with the engine running. It shifts smoothly with the transmission in gear and engine stopped.

Good deal,
Thanks for the follow up, I have this job planned for one of my trucks. I have up to .060 shims available.

You're welcome. I Picked up some good reading from the SS archives: cdvet 08-23-12 @ 17:42 He spoke with George at White Owl about setting up (shimming) the PTO. Good reading. It helped me out.

You could always just get the right part.

Like what? Its a parts truck we found in Illinois. Crusher needed some outriggers and so did Stretch. We grabbed some other parts like the valve bank, mico lock, light brackets, and data plates. I know the guy who has it, it will be there if anything more is needed later on.

I just wanted to increase the 60 amp alternator output a bit. It seems like the NG unit that last serviced the truck animaled the 1/4" female drive plug above the adjuster. It stripped out even with best practices. Someone should teach difference between 35 inch pounds and 35 foot pounds of torque. Anyhow had to pull the alternator so I can fix that.
I could not get the screws out of inspection cover plate, they being so over torqued they had to be ground off. Had to cut a tool to use on inboard forward mounting bolt, Gee who thought that one up?

I just keep reading of people just fabbing things up, altering wheelbases, machining this and that.
People rebuilding entire trucks, adding hydraulic cranes and such.
All I wanted to do was turn a screw for adjustments and ended up working the day away.
Everything on this truck was animaled!
And a picture for the General .....

10-4 Frank. When I picked up my truck the fuel lines were damaged and mickey moused. The copper fuel line that runs from the primary fuel filter to the IP was crushed flat. I was surprised the truck even ran, and some of the neoprene lines were chaffed, cracked and routed poorly.
