hey if you come to a point where where your current pack cannot be fixed do to the pitting let me know. i might be able to help.

Altho plausible that wouldn't explain why releasing pressure at the air-pack would free them entirely. Also it's unlikely that all three main rubber lines would simultaneously fail.

then your air pack is binding. remove and replace or rebuild. id check those two issues as mentioned in the TM first. also look for debris in the air-pack. mine was full of crud. i know you replaced most of the system but if there was anything left in there it could have gotten somewhere it...

when you say fluid line do you mean the brake line leading from the air-pack to the wheels?

effecting them fist is expected but ultimately if they all bind then the problem is upstream. once they lock if you open the brake bleeder on the air-pack do they release?

i might suggest you remove the screw at the back of the air-pack (older style long canister) or the tube that connects to the back to double check if that releases any air, if so do the brakes free? i say this because the glad hand line could (doubt it but..) be blocked somehow. its always worth...

ok forgive me if you answered this already, is your petal stiff? or is it still free to pump? that is while the brakes are locked.

in my experience when the brakes lock like this you can easily test if the air pack is holding pressure by opening the glad hand valve at the rear of the truck (driver side). if this immediately frees the brakes than your air-pack is at fault. start the truck, build air and pump the brakes...

do oasises have diesel these days? he is gonna need a whole lot of Jerry cans that's for sure. iirc that company makes some pricey toys, that converted f550 was in the above 6 digits. could be mistaken.

i love the truck. one question tho, given the flex in the frame on uneven ground had you considered the clearance between the cab and Jerry can? hard to tell how close it is in the pic. also im only familiar with the 2 1/2 ton and have no idea how much flex is there. nice work!

its not protruding but i was thinking along those lines, i figured the cork would likely swell a tad and the pressure between the cup (im sorry i didnt have the correct term) would also likley cuase the metal lip to crimp a tad and flush the surfaces. thank you everyone, i just wanted to be...

here is what im dealing with (now that i have access to a pc). i considdered flipping the little metal thing at the bottom but than there isnt anything to center the filter. im sorry if this is a duplicate post but my computer went wacky, posts disapeared then reapeared then disapeared...

Thanks for the quick response. Back out into the cold I go to finish

I know this is gonna be tough given I can't get pics up but here it goes: I just removed the secondary fuel filter and just as I went to replace it with a new one I noticed a potential problem. The filter that I have appears to be an older NOS filter with a perforated metal skin surrounding the...

feed the degreaser through the pressure washer or just spray and rinse?

im aware of many opinions and options but im curious, what did you do for surface prep? also did you just use rattle cans or get the gallons and cut it? ive got a few gallons of of the stuff waiting for the warm weather. edit: sorry to be a pain, what paint did you use on the bumper and...
