I found it after watching Helicools video. Sometimes we look but don’t see!

Should win the dumbest question ever! I cannot find a way to check transmission fluid level, the plug behind the cab on drivers side does not have a dipstick and I have crawled all around the transmission and cannot find a way to check level. Thanks for your time.

Well I have a working fan! The issue turned out to be a simple no cost solution. When I went to remove the nut on the-rotating air fitting on the front of the fan the clutch engaged. I went ahead and removed the fan and replaced the water pump drive belt while I was that far in. When I...

Ronmor, Many thanks had time to lookat the CTIS today. You were exactly right. I pushed , out about three inches of some kind of bug (First Picture). One bit of advice for peoplein the future, the place where the vent goes out the cab is the second picture. The third picture is where the vent...

Thank You to everyone especially Tom. Winter got here early, so next week when fall returns will go take a look. Really appreciate everyone’s help.

I seem to have a properly operating solenoid as it vents when I shut power off The fan clutch will not engage. I pulled the airline going to the fan off at the fan shroud, and I can spin the fan by hand. I assume from all the posts I have read that it should be locked up, with the air removed...

Ronmar thank you for the response, I have read a lot of your posts and really appreciate all of your posts you have written. Was hoping to get a response from you. Just to make sure that I have things right, the 5psi that the system initially sends opens the wheel valve because the surface...

CTIS problems, tried troubleshooting on my own but have hit a wall. When I plug in the CTIS and start the truck, the tires will inflate and the Highway Light will go solid. Within 15 seconds of the light going solid I hear solenoids clicking and the system will start venting until the tires...

Thanks.

Sometimes you just want to build something that is different. Sometimes a friend buys something and medical issues he needs some cash and has a crazy truck sitting in the garage. Sometimes it good to rack your brain and push yourself to do something different, make something that forces you to...

Thank you, ramps look beefy surprised at that but that works. With that now I can model the weight distribution for the truck pretty well, and come up with a realistic capacity. Appreciate the help. Now I would like to open up another can of worms. Diagnostic work for engine transmission etc...

Perfect that is what I really needed! Any idea about the fifth wheel and ramp setup?

I have been operating water tenders, engines, sink trailers, potable water trucks, bladder trucks, and grey water trucks since 1987 for fires as a contractor. Have been on fires in 26 states. We currently run 12 tenders, so this is not my first rodeo. When I say that trailers are not an option...

So Do you have any idea what the winches and cables weigh. That is the thing I need most at this time. Thanks. I am getting the feeling that they are bound for scrap yard.Two reasons they can grab them right off the truck and two I don’t need the lawn art while trying to sell them. I run...

Yes that is the plan, once I find out the actual weight of winches that will be removed I will have a better idea of the design of the tank. We want to keep center of gravity as low as possible. Found plenty of information for center of gravity etc for the truck from factory. So will be able to...
