    Air System Relay Valve Leaking At Bottom White Disc

    So are these relay valves rebuildable? TM don't get into specifics, but my rearward one has a small leak. I can press on the disc and the rubber that is surrounding it and make it stop. It don't appear damaged or as if it could even seal by that piddly rubber surround. Maybe there is a seal...

    M939 series power steering box leak

The only leak this truck has is that seal where the steering shaft goes in the box. Figured maybe some lucas power steering sealant/revitalizer would go in when it needs added to. So...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

Got 24v at the solenoid positive side. (wire 25) Unplugged the wire from the box at the bottom of the steering column and the...
