    Slow Recovery, No Brakes, Dry Rot Tires

    I do not think that speed bleeders will be of any help if you are using a pressure bleeder. Lots of penetrating oil and a propane torch should be on your list. That should get the rusty old fasteners moving. A fire extinguisher should probably go in the truck with the torch. The rest of your...

    Air dryer

    I have done a lot of paint with no dryer. If I was doing a gloss show paint job I would get a dryer. For flat paint I just blow down the compressor and go.

    Mean Green

    In pic #2 is that a 5 gal. bucket of hardware? If it is, through it on a scale and start a guess the weight contest. I guess 62 lbs. Looking good so far!

    Cage or air up M915 brakes

    There is a air chuck fitting on one of the drivers side air tanks. It is standard female air line fitting. I hook up my compressor there when I want to work on the brakes without listening to the truck idle. I know it will charge all three tanks from there. I use a double male to make the...

    Cadillac Transporter Trailer

    I recently purchased a Saginaw Products Corp. AAR Cadillac Transporter Trailer. Do we have a tm on this unit. I plan to modify it to haul my highboy sprayer. No green iron will be harmed. I just plan to built a center section that will lift and transport the sprayer. I will post a picture...

    A problem with Faria instruments

    But the Faria gauge is new and improved. How can it be of lesser quality? Just kidding I am also less than impressed with the Faria gauges in my 915a1.

    M915a1 Jake brake electrical problem

    The headlight switch or plug is probably bad. The switch can't carry the load of the headlights and all of the marker lights. You can rig up a relay so the switch just runs the headlights and the relay carries the rest. More info here...

    Well I did it, stuck Deuce

    Epic Save! You are my new recovery hero. I think I will make a pair of those and just keep them in the truck. 1000 cheers for innovation.

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    I put some silver stars in to replace my headlights. I put them in in September and have not driven at night once in that time. They work great in my car and motorcycle.

    Cummins 400 turbo boost and temp question

    I am going to hazard a guess and say the rear most cylinder. I am not basing on experience. I just know that it is warmer back there and the pt pump feeds from the back off the head. Rear cylinder should get a little more fuel.

    Reversing Light/Alarm: M809 Series

    I did something similar a couple of years ago. You used nicer wire fitting though. Here is my old project. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/50266-5-ton-back-up-light-install.html Great job.

    I am thinking before I buy.

    Just buy the deuce and drive it for a few months. I had bob plans in mind when I first got my truck. The only reason I would consider it now is if I had an extra deuce to leave stock.

    Alternator Rotation Direction

    I can't answer the reversible question. I have used some non reversible roller pumps in the past. If they were the wrong rotation I just mounted them with the pulley side turned around. You have to build a adapter plate. If your system is a homebrew that is usually not a big deal.

    Strange Startup Sounds

    Sounds like you have more than one problem. The alternator belts are probably loose. When you turn off the master switch you take the load off the alternator. Sound goes away. The starting issue sounds like air in the lines. One of your flex lines probably has a hole wore in it...

    Need advice on removing white logo from Pinz box

    That heat gun should work. At 1500 watts it is all that most outlets will want to put out. Try to be inside out of the wind when you use it. I have never tried a hot blade.
