Just to add to your checking the brake lines thread, I am doing the same thing and noted that the metal brake lines seem to rust through every where they contact the frame (dirt and water creating advanced corrosion - leading to my brake failure) where as the rest of the line or even opposite of...
I just wanted to add to what Antennaclimber said in that from what I can remember from what my NAPA guys said - coolant filter 4070 has no addative (because you add your own), 4071 has one shot of sca, 4072 has 2 shots, 4073 has 3 shots, 4074 has 4 shots (which is what I have and intend to put...
The answer is yes for me.... My darn in tank fuel pump has never worked properly for the past 5 years..... shame on me... I'm probably ask'n for trouble for running it as long as I have... but it is on the list of things to fix..... as soon as the glacier of snow melts out from under the...
I ended up fishing out all of the spacers and drilled out the hole to a nominal size to permit hitting it with a long pop rivet...
but I am still getting some sort of short that causes the pump fuse to burn out... or the pump stops running for no reason after a short ride and no blown fuse...
Ahhh Yes, Thanks for the advise. A little more info I should have included.... Its a 1971 M36 Long Wheel base and never left the road. It was completely overhauled in 1991 - everything - The Master Cylinder was still just primer red. So I'm guessing by the looks of things the system is...
Thanks for the offer nk14zp!!! I got the airpack and Master rebuilt last night after some nit picky cleaning and throwing couple of coats of paint on them... Should be good to go back in the truck after the paint cures for a bit.
I took the liberty of addressing the 1/4 plug problem by...
After a brake failure during a routine pre-trip inspection, I elected to overhaul the whole system....
So far I have pulled the Master Cylinder and Airpack - All gunked up. It was amazing that I only had a minor symptom of a hard brake pre failure (occurred twice) - airpack problem... and...
I thank you for your persistence!!! I blew my brakes doing a safety check this spring and have not gotten around to fixing them - got the parts though. But before the problem began, I had the same symptoms you were describing. And yes, I also experienced the same issues of endless searching...
I've been getting trucking quotes from Coastal Mid Maine to try and deliver a truck I have to Central North Carolina... They range from a high of using a winch truck to load and unload $3600 to a trucker looking for a back haul on his way back to Florida $1500 and we load and the buyer...
I had this same problem too and the solution was right here after searching and searching and searching..... needless to say, this one problem hooked me into Steel Soldiers!!!
What I found was that there is a small (dime sized) "O" ring located under a plate screwed into place on the HH (if...
Glad you're safe Dittos!!! My brakes let go this winter as well - but it was during my pre-trip inspection!!! Needless to say, all of the parts to over haul the braking system that I had bought for a later date, turned out to be needed sooner rather than later! :shock:
I just got the Walmart $77 dollar 65N? batteries 1000CA/ 850CCA after several bad experiences with the NAPA Legend series group 31 - Low CCA and continual dead cells, not to mention Walmart has the 3 year free replacement compared to the 18 month pro rated "deals" out there... Not lucky enough...
I'm not sure either... Mine is set up the same way. I added a line to suck brake line antifreeze for winter driving through an old wind shield washer reservoir (air bubbling through that pretty much cleans up any dust). But I think some folk will run the air intake line to the lone hole you...
Thank You for reviving an old memory for me!!! This exact problem happened to me and in a quest to find out how to solve my problem, I found this site and all the answers I needed!!! (although searching through endless nonsense to find what you need is a chore ;), but that was about 4 years...
I just noticed a thread about "A" frames... I was wondering what the hunk of "A" shaped steel in the back yard was..... Hmmmm... Must investigate! I think I have a picture here, but if not I'll try and get one tomorrow before it gets snowed over again!!! What is really cool about ours is...
I came across 4 24-volt work lights at an industrial Car Quest in our area that were ordered by mistake... But it was my day to get a deal!!! I think I paid like $8 each about 4 years ago. 4 X 6" and really bright. 2 were spot lights and 2 were flood lights. I placed one flood and one...
Good point about the SG deal... Here I was kicking myself for having just purchased a new top from GMA (thanks to the SS members who gave me the lead on that deal) when I could have had a cheaper one... Well I was VERY happy when I got it a couple of weeks ago and now I am even happier I...
