My FLU419 SEE was "Rebuilt" there in 2010. Has anyone seen a later rebuild date for one of those?

Okay, with the larger piece laying flat, as I lifted the cover off, the first piece was the rubber diaphragm with the nipple towards the cover, then the tin cap, then the spring between the cap and the base! Basically, the spring was pressing on the wrong side of the diaphragm. Now, here is...

That worked great. Pulled the plunger out, cleaned it and the barrel out and lubed them up and they're fine now. Drove the truck 10 miles, no issue. I did remove the cover off of one wheel valve and you'll never guess what I found! The spring, tin cap, and rubber diaphragm were in backwards...

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Fixed my profile and noted a few of our toys. Don't get the wrong idea about us. I'm just an old farm boy from Iowa who drove a truck for his Dad! Couldn't rub two nickels together for the first 32 years!

Hah! Now I'm in for some fun. We're polishing the concrete floor where I keep this beast so I decided to drive it to my house 5 miles away. Everything was fine till I noticed the air gauge dropping and not building back up! I made it home before running out of pressure thankfully. Upon...

Okay fellas. I have an odd situation that maybe someone can assist me with. Just unloaded a 1990 M936A2 Wrecker that was sent through the rebuild process at RR. It was finished in 2011 and driven 200 miles after. Here's the deal. * Learned the light switch trick and that worked fine for...
