Balancing beads? What do you guys think about balancing beads in tires? Are they working? Stainless? Tempered Glass? Ceramic?

I've got the Milton from Amazon. I'll fill two tires and see how it goes. The next 4 tires will arrive in the middle of April. I've paid for them already, but I'll be in Las Vegas for a week at a trade show. I don't go there for fun, so I've delayed delivery until the middle of April. 3rd...

I'm suitably chastised . . . I'll ask more in the future . . . I really do appreciate the help I'm getting here. I did purchase a Milton: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7RFKVR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title $93 on Amazon

I'm a very new owner of an M1088A1 with a 3126. I'm just learning about HEUI pumps here and online, youtube, etc. HEUI failures mentioned here on SS concern me. What do you guys think about: The NEW GEN 2 IFS Kit https://ifskit.com/the-ifs-kit If I understand it correctly, from this page...

I also got the glad hand air hose, I haven't tried it yet. Thinking about safety, I bought an automatic inflater with a 6 foot hose. I won't walk away from the inflater, but I will be 6 feet from the sidewall. I did a bit more cleanup today, installed some bolts to replace huck bolts and...

I got a 12 ton bottle jack with rusted handle in the tool box

YES!!! I'll definitely attend if you do this

I couldn't move that cover with two hands. I put a pair of channel locks on it , rocked it a bit and it came loose. Now I can move it with one hand. I managed to get one more bolt off the tire rack today. The remaining 3 bolts are very difficult to reach. I'll try again tomorrow My valve...

I've tried pushing in . . . so far no luck While I was in the area, I just spent a fascinating half hour scraping mud out from under the dash. Where was the private with a toothbrush on a punishment detail? Apparently not on my truck

I've tried taking he cap off of the diagnostic port and I can't figure it out. What's the secret to getting that cap off. And what does the switch under the red "don't touch this" cover do?

The huck bolts were the easy part, getting grade 8 bolts locally was difficult. I went to Lows and two different Home Depots and I got a few to put the rear shock upper mounts back on. I still have a center support in the frame, where the rear air lift points (crane lift?) were, to bolt on. I...

I've been cutting off Huck Bolts this morning. 18 bolts in 90 minutes I've been cutting off Huck Bolts this morning with the angle grinder and cutoff wheel. 18 bolts in 90 minutes. I just stopped for a cup of coffee . . . now back to the grindstone . . .

I just ordered one of the stronger cab cylinder and reinforcement kits on ebay. I may not get it installed right away, but getting it while I can find one seems sensible.

I don't believe the hand pump or air/hydraulic pump are working now, Meanwhile, the immediate problem is solved. The problem was not the hydraulics at all, but rather a mechanical interference. The cab was landing on and stuck on the arch that holds the cab lock. Judicious application of a...

Where do I get the updated stronger cab cylinder?

Hand pump is not working

Did it appear to bounce when it locked up? I don't know. Didn't see that might cause the safety to lock as it pushes back thru the system and allows rapid passage thru the restrictors in the control valve... All new to me Shift the control to raise and try and raise the cab a...

The air operated pump is just spewing oil now. I did fill the upper reservoir. Right now I can't lift or lower the cab.

Thanks for that. Now I've got an issue with cab tilt, I could use some advice. I backed it out of the garage today and pulled out the red pin in the cab lock manually. It was really stuck. I'll want to re-build that. I got the cab raised and cleaned up the engine. The hydraulic pump is...
