These were painted over when I got the truck. The paint has weathered away and revealed this number. I’m just curious if anyone knows what it signifies. It’s not related to the serial number.

I could not find one on any of the major suppliers websites. I guess I need to give them a call. Thanks.

Are there any rebuild kits available for the short air pack? I have not been able to find any. I had a kit that I had ordered a few years ago but, when I went to rebuild the airpack it was missing some of the parts and I had to reuse some of the old parts. I still have brake fluid leaking out of...

The last one I got from eBay had several parts missing from the kit. I had it several months before I realized it so I did not return it. The auction picture was of a sealed kit but it did not come sealed. I would make sure it’s all there if you don’t plan to use it right away.

What master cylinder brake pedal bracket are you using?

I have spent hours trying to get the info that is here in just a few posts thanks for sharing your knowledge. One of my master cylinders does not have the seats in the ports. I have a few old rebuild kits for these and it has the rpv and large seats that won’t work on mine but, it also has the...

I put a C turbo on my non turbo multi-fuel. I set the pump timing to the LDT timing mark and it still smokes more than my other truck. It pumps out that grey/brown smoke. I need to turn the fuel down some before I put it on the road.

Did you find the mirror bracket you were looking for? I took one off my M275 I will give you if you need it.

Yes one like that would work. The master cylinder with reservoir attached are not hard to fine but, it does need to be the right configuration. It needs to be 50% and 50% output. It will need residual check valves in the port and the port size should be 9/16 -18 or 1/2-20 thread. some of them...

My plan was to remount it in the same place but two of the bolts will be longer go through the bracket and thread into the new plate.

Started working on my m275 again and the air pack and master cylinder were leaking bad and I have the parts to fix it but with the choice of parts being 30 year old new or recently made parts from overseas there is no way I could ever trust the single circuit system. My other truck I put...

It would also be a good time to check bearing clearance and put in new rod bolts.
