Sorry, no sister, Randy! I'm OK so long as there's no grease on anything when I get done. We have a 2 year old boy at home so I can blame some stuff on him now. He likes to play on and around daddy's trucks so the grease could come from him, right?
And you can't forget the dog - chocolate labs could track a lot of dirt in and you wouldn't see it on them, right?
Nice job on the brake chambers - now all you have to find is the flex lines.

Been following and all I gotta say, you are gonna have one outstanding truck when you are finished. Keep up the good work!!
Read earlier about your concerns on the wiring. You might want to keep your eyes open for a NOS wiring harness though. I know you dont want to hear it, but when saltwater gets into wiring, it travels up the wire. We've had to change out the exterior wiring on the offshore boats I ran. Even with cleaning, crimping/soldering, and sealing, the corrosion keeps going.
Keep your head up!

Funny you should mention that. I have a listing in the classified ads looking for one already One of our fellow members has a good take-out harness so I may go that route if nothing else turns up.

The Army has an ongoing rebuild program for these trucks so most of the ones coming out are wrecked, rusted out, or have been sitting on the can-lot getting picked like a chicken! If they are beyond some reasonable return-on-investment percentage for rebuild, then they go to DRMO. That's the way I understand it anyways.

I realized tonight when I was looking up the brake actuator part number that I put the diaphragm in upside down. The exploded parts diagram showed it opposite of the way I put it in. I took it apart and flipped it. At least I found out before I tried to use it
Here are some pics showing the diaphragm installed correctly just in case anyone uses this behemoth thread for a reference

Nope, wives don't work that way. Any grease on him from YOUR truck is YOUR fault !
LOL! Yep, you're right. Doesn't matter if she was watching him when he got greasy. It's still my fault. "Your son tracked grease in the house after he was playing on your dirty army truck!"
"Honey, if you are reading this, remember that I love you!"
Thankfully the 5-ton has been at Winslow's so my boy hasn't been around that EPA Superfund site!
