Didn’t delete the expansion tank, re-located, it, as it is necessary, but does not need to be up high. You could mount it on the rear bumper and it would still work as an expansion tank and air purge, you just cannot fill the system from there when it is down low. I put mine down behind the...

What General said about hucks. Right angle grinder and a cutoff wheel. Heavy welding gloves and face shield!. If y0u cut all the way thru the shank, the released tension causes them to pop. To avoid this Cut thru till you are almost thru the shank, hit the collar with a hammer to break the...

I contemplated the same thing until i realized the toyota handles would fit. if you do it, I would suggest you leave access to the wires directly to bypass the controller and power the releases directly if the controller quits...

so are you planning on relocating the spare tire, air filter and accessories and removing the forward crane lift structure?

So what are you planning for the truck?

Uuuh thats just the mount location for the chem detector… The box with the wires is your anti-lock brake controller… The box with the hoses is your air operated hydraulic pump… Don’t think you want to cut any of that out:) don’t think I have seen any of these trucks with a chem detector...

Look for a torque multiplier to do break the lugnuts. The 63:1 unit I have only takes around 8-10 pounds of force to break them free. Dont forget the studs on the left side of the truck are reverse/left handed threads You will want a looong bar and torque measurement head to get an accurate...

You will also want some cribbing. the bottle jack base is not very large so will tend to push into any soft surface you are working on.

Yep, you are using the cab cylinder rod end as auxiliary storage. If you connect a hose barb and hose where the vent port is, and run that into another small vented container all the way to the bottom, it will draw fluid from and store excess fluid in that aux container automatically, the same...

The hose fittings are JIC-4. Both the cylinders and the manifold ports use SAE-4 ports. I wouldn’t really worry about plugging anything until you are actually going to delete part of the system… https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brands/No-Brand-Name/JIC-4-Male-Plug-2408-4-9-2408-4.axd...

Ok, well the stock hand pump is 4x4x3.5 outer dimensions, but it is perhaps 1/8” wall thickness and radiused corners a square 3.75x3.75x3.25 is 45.7 cu/in minus ~2.5” for the radiused corners leaves ~43cu/in when full… and the fluid draw cannot draw every drop of that fluid so there will...

I think it was lost chain who put up a video showing it hold lockup/ex brake down into second gear. where it drops out in 2nd will probably be a factor of how fast you are decelerating. I shot a crappy video of my scan tool looking at the F/lockup solenoid and mine currently drops out right...

Was at lorsta george wa in,2000 and you would still hit the layer of ash anytime you dug. Hope it doesn’t blanket your area too heavily, as it will be with you for a very long time…

If you are using the hand pump, fill both it and the AOP reservoir. Hand pump has a allen filler plug rear outboard corner. Replace the plug when full, as it must pull a vac to draw fluid from the reservoir. The hand pump does not contain enough fluid to lift the cab fully by itself so relies...

Yea the manual-auto lockup programming might help, you hold it down into 2nd, or even use it in 1st gear for a little more effective hill decent mode. Just need a reliable way to release it before you take the engine below idle RPM…

You can always launch it. Stand on the brake, stand on the gas, when you ramp up to peak torque you should have plenty of boost, release the brake and let the magic happen:)

I think they probably had to get rid of them because the troops were getting too aroused after probing 24 holes in the battery tray...

On the WTEC2 there is a manual lockup program option, used for oilfield I think. Auto-manual switch and engage-disengage switch. I suspect there is something similar in the wtec3 programming. That might get you some better slow speed ex brake performance, but you would have to be sure to...

IDK, he did a REALLY good job on them...:)

it tells you if you have enough electrolyte in the battery cells of a wet cell battery. Since they didn't put the batteries on a tray it can be difficult to check electrolyte level visually, so some bright light came up with this thing. Remove cap, insert tip in hole, look for red LED...
