So Sounds like the flat fiber gasket that comes with oil filter is correct then ?

Do y’all know the wix or Napa part number for the oil filter oring ?

Yes they are all plumbed in on all wheels . I have two wheels with slow leaks still . But takes a week or more to leak and they only go to about 20 pds

So I got this truck and it had been sitting up for few years . Lots of dirt dobber nests all over it and everywhere . lol anyway some tires were flat. Started removing one by one and replacing orings . Prior to this I got CTIS to somewhat operate once . I heard it going thru system check of...

I had one brake light not working on mine . Changed out the blinker switch and fixed it

I turned off air and went and drove it . Drove good . So air valve is issue

I tried some oil in mine and it got little better but I’m still loosing lot of air .

I read where there is some Sort of pins preventing disassembly of this ? Do they have to be drilled out ?

Yes kroil . Was typo . Lol I will try to add some Jack oil but think this truck sat up and something inside has stuck allowing to much air to leak by .

I had a Kodiak truck with 3116 I bought and it had over 1 million miles . Found owners maintence book snd it stated complete rebuild at 995,000 miles. Not positive if he did engine of just drivetrain . Either way that’s impressive . Very weak motors in my opinion

Has anyone been working on these wander and leaking issues ? I just got this truck and put some krill oil in my air in port and it got better . Air leaks out pretty good if not holding perfect straight . And it wants to wander side to side on road also like the air is doing it or fighting it

I had both turbo and non turbo trucks and the non turbo had more pep or power off idle .

Question about the statement about changing studs ? Can we change to larger studs ? My 5 ton has a set of concrete truck wheels on it . The fronts are the wider rims and tires . Factory 5 ton lug nuts seem to sink pretty far into rim ?

yes m929. I was always told you could not tow a automatic

Looking at a newer model 5 ton with with automatic trans . I’m not familiar with these . Is transfer case separate like older ones ? Can this truck be towed without hurting trans if transfer case is in neutral ?
