I will have to look at home, but I have used the Rapco CARC spray cans for Tan, Green, and Brown and it is essentially impossible to tell what I sprayed from a can and from a gun. My wheels were the exception (for the tan), but I believe that is due to the heat from the hubs/brakes caused the...

If I had known sooner, I would have brought my deuce.

Can you post a copy of your citation? Obviously redacting sensitive information.

That is a policy within DMV, which does not apply to parking enforcement or county ordinances, unless they call out items distributed by DMV (as in license plates or registration). DMV can say/state anything they want, they are just an agency of the state, but they do not issue nor enforce the...

There certainly seems like a lot of historic vehicles floating around on the roads in CA. 41 new historic plates issued within 2 months of us getting our plates, as I got mine in January, and was registering mine the middle of November (2015).

What's that part called? My truck doesn't have the piece that has the lights or the letters to let me know what gear I am in.

If you have a 5 ton then your GVWR is over 26,000lbs, so it puts you into the CDL requirements. If your truck doesn't require a CDL (under 26,000lbs, and let's not discuss the axle count), then you do not need to take the air brake test and not have an air brake restriction, as if you drive a...

The Whittier code states unladen weight of 14,000lbs or greater is considered commercial (Ordinance 318 Section 10.40.020 D). It does also reference the CA vehicle code for commercial vehicles, so if you are over 14,000lbs, you need to meet the definition of the pickup. CVC §260.a. Definition...

Most guys don't bend the 3.5" and larger, they usually buy the premade ells and weld them together.

My deuce is also anxiously awaiting his little brother. You got mirrors, doors and a top, good stuff!

The law for an air brake endorsement came in around 2010, but I do not have my code book in front of me. It addressed air over hydraulic braking specifically. Parking enforcement is a county/city agency and those are the codes they are most likely towing you for, not the state issued vehicle...

I believe the last year of the A2 is 1989. I do know for a fact they built A2s during 1987, as I have one.

They had quite a bit for sale a few weeks ago. Some went for a good price, others only had one bid and a few didn't receive any bids (those were pretty beat up). They probably learned to not do that many at one time, as a lot of folks that aren't businesses will not bid on more than a few at a...

Was anyone here, the one with the five ton in the Folsom Veterans Day parade last year?

If it is squealing, that is more likely the belt, meaning the pump is not spinning freely. Adding fluid and bleeding was a good starting point, the next is to check the pump (as you mentioned).
