1. Remove locknut (15) from threaded stud (16) and remove threaded stud (16) of ball joint ( 18 from lever (17). 2. Loosen nut (19) on accelerator rod (14). NOTE Rod is shortened by turning ball joint clockwise on rod and lengthened by turning...
I think most sheet metal is 16 gauge. Washers...when butt welding a patch he tacks a few washers to one panel so the washers one half sticks out from the panel edge and gives the patch something to rest on/be welded to.
.....since removing the FDC without making any adjustments to the fuel quantity adjuster automatically leads to the fuel quantity injected being on the high side. The details will depend upon how the quantity setting was previously adjusted. High fuel quantity will increase power, but also drive...
With winch, drop sides and hard top. Nice score!
Looks like you have the PM and emergency breakdowns covered. The dragging brakes could be a master cylinder in need of having the fluid return hole cleaned out or it could be an air pack problem. When you do the oil change, you will be underneath...
Before everything gets locked etc. here is some rear winch mounting ideas. I seriously consider doing this. I have a 17.5k winch sitting in the garage waiting for a new home.

Oh, that s*cks! Would you mind posting a video of the desaster? From the video above I cannot visualize why it wouldn't work. Lift main arm, swing extension arm all the way down, lower main arm and cradle. Or does it require a different stowing procedure? I suppose you could leave the crane...
@montaillou You like to think outside the box. I like and admire that. Your idea about a portable winch is interesting. When you pull the truck sideways, it is because the thing is sunk and stuck. The additional force required to overcome the drag of sand or mud with wheels sunk in to the hub...
So many questions relate to basic winch operation. I do not want to "hijack" the thread, rather start at a level where even less experienced operators can join in.
To get comfortable with the winch, I would suggest...

The idea is to bump the starter (not hold the button down) with the shutoff pulled. If fluid had accumulated in the space between piston and head (because a headgasket leak or dripping injectors), the rotation would come to a dead stop. Hopefully with not enough force behind it to break...
On the fuel tank it is 1/8. I used a 90 degree elbow 1/8 male to 1/4 female to fit a standard 1/4 in gauge. Take with a grain of salt...going from memory here.

The downfall of being mission oriented. Adapt, improvise, overcome - just get it done. I need to work on that. I did park the truck early and for the Sat night shift my condition for driving is working heat!

To the wide-eyed, bushy-tailed observer from a warm climate this may LOOK like fun! Oh, how naive! :) For somebody that just drove an International Tri-axle last night for 4 hours at -11F (-14C) WITHOUT any cab heat whatsoever, with the side window open so the windshield would not...
For someone who looks at 3D printing as space wizardry, I am very excited that replacement parts or improvement parts made from unobtainium could perhaps be designed and manufactured by our very own group here!
I have nada to contribute on the technical/CAD front but would sure be willing to...
I would add: You can put a pressure gauge where the T fitting is on top of the fuel tank. With the in-tank-pump running, you should see around 5-7 psi there. I left my gauge plumbed in because.....I can. I like the visual that the pump is working when I do my walkaround inspection.
If you put a...
