    Maintenance questions

    I'm going to be doing a recovery of a 105a2 for another guy on here and in checking everything over carefully, I found a few deficiencies I am wanting to get your opinion on. First, the glad hand gaskets that mate with the trailer on the truck side are aged and I am wanting to replace them. Are...

    Dang, I've been dodging those guys for 5 years now. They keep asking me why I included my barn cats in the head count.

    Whats with my Brakes??

    I've had this happen on other trucks, and here's how I had to proceed: 1. Fluid is missing and must be going somewhere. 2. check ground and frame for leaks 3. check airpack drain for fluid (little hex on rear lower side) 4. check brake drums thru inspection access 5. remove all drums and...

    battery cable connections

    Take your time and be methodical, this kind of thing is nerve-racking for some. I have had my share of uh-ohs myself, its all part of the experience. Concentrate on the simple first, follow the tms as best you can, and ask questions. You'll have this hammered out in no time.

    battery cable connections

    Given that he will have multiple issues to diagnose, I figured he could find the most fitting problems to his specific issue, and decide what troubleshooting he is capable of. Give a man a fish, so on and so forth. Cheers if you would like to post the flash yourself instead. I do believe a man...

    battery cable connections

    TM_9-2320-365-20-1 should contain all advanced electrical troubleshooting in section 2-147.

    battery cable connections

    I'd check the frame ground first, then start shooting the wires with a test light and see where the power stops. TM-9-2320-365-10 section 3.2 starts the proper troubleshooting.

    Fuel pump Reo OA-331

    Same here, would love to know if the company sold a good product. I've got several old rigs I could squirrel a kit away for.

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    My truck does this as well if I turn on master power and start it straight away. I generally flip on master power, do my walk around, drain my filters, then start. I don't have a problem with it anymore.

    New Owner: 1967 M109 - Oh BOY!

    I always rebuild everything I can, but I do it because I like tooling, not because its convenient.

    Stolen M35 - Colorado - on or before 11/22/2015

    Someone had a deuce stolen around here, the cops caught the guy that did it when he brought it into the scrap dealer cut up on the back of a gooseneck. The yard owner called law enforcement. Hope it turns out good this time.

    Brake shoes

    Thats no joke, I mask up whenever anything brake related can possibly get airborne, and when using DCS.

    Brake shoes

    I do it like this guy does in the video. Its super easy and linings are easy to come by. I do the additional step of leveling the lining on a drum sander, but its not really needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff5fN_wY9Yc

    Making a light bar over the cab.....Making progress....almost ready to install

    Code3 and some towing suppliers sell switch racks like those, I've got an older one laying around I picked up at a flea market for 5 bucks. Need to get on my lightbar now I have seen this.

    There are many like it....

    Thanks. The color is from the fs595 standards, FSS 34094. Home depot should be able to reproduce it from the pic of that sticker. Failing that, have them look under "competitor formulas", then "federal standards". It seems a touch darker than the standard "green 383" but it chips out just like...

    Thanks. I was sketchy at first to use it , but it tested fine on my cucv-wannabe, makes it flow real nice and dry up fairly quickly. I just had to ensure it was mixed well.

    There are many like it....

    Continuing where I left off, all masking was removed and overspray taken care of by means of a damp rag and a razor. The interior of the bed was scraped down and left bare while I am considering line-x on the sides, and the traction surfaces around the fenders and cab. The actual bed floor...
