Hey Guys, Long time, no talk- I'm back and ready to try again on this, so will try some of your suggestions, and check back- Tahnks

I will try to get the deuce in front of it and have my son pull me and see what happens

Looks to be about a couple quarts over full- Maybe drain down? I will definitely try more juice to the starter and post results

My 818 has sat for a few years. I decided it was time to fire her up, but engine won't turn over. I believe I have fluid lock. If I understand the TM's, there is a decompression plug for each cylinder? Has anyone here experienced this before? The oil is overfull and smells of diesel. Not sure...

Well, this is my deal- The brakes on the truck have never worked right for me, as the truck sat for 30+ years, and I'm surprised I got them to work at all. Someone has changed this cylinder out, either in the motor pool, or the state agency that used the truck to tow school buses. I asume they...

Thanks for the link. I also believe D.Doyle has a wealth of knowledge, but I have bumped the thread, and questioned the basis of his statement. Will be interesting and informative, I hope :jumpin:

Wheel Cylinder Size Is this recomendation based on maintenance quotes in the TM's, personal experience, None or both, ?? Curious about the source of your statement:!::!:

As you know, I'm doing a complete brake job on my wrecker, and will be posting a How To as soon as I'm done. Meanwhile, I now have a problem and need some input/ advice. I've completed the rears on one side, and have moved on to the front. After honning the cylinder, I went for the kit, and...

Silicone with gaskets I never use silicone on a pan gasket. The silicone is slippery, and tends to let the gasket squeeze out from between the pan and the block. I use High Tack, or my favorite is Coppper Coat. I only use silicone where the timming cover/ rear main gaskets meet the pan rails :-P

Noise When my 1009, (Well. used to be, now my sons) is cold, its real noisy, SCARY NOISY !! After it's warm, it quiets down, real nice and runs good !!!

Well, somebody had to do it rofl

Welcome to the site. I have a ton of relation North of you in Minot, ND

Looking forward to seeing the walkthrough. Thanks clinto. I have torn in to 1 axle, front rear on the right side. The good news is that 45 years ago when the school district parked the truck, they must have just done a brake job on it. They used it to tow in the school buses when they broke...

There's still a few in stock, sporadically across the country. Memphis Equipment has quite a few, and at $59.00, they were way cheaper than NAPA

I can't tell you yet- Look at my other post under Conversations :razz:

I'm getting ready to start my project, on the Wrecker. I'll do a step by step with pictures on the task at hand, starting with all my goodies from NAPA and Memphis Equipment I just received. Real pretty when new :p

:ditto:

Part #s No problem, G R- As I get this old girl going strong, I'll post more along the way. FYI- I did a little research and found out that some of the old fire trucks with the continental in them ran a dual carb manifold for more power. I'm thinking that would look pretty trick on the...

I tried to add these to the cross reference on the old site, but it wouldn't let me. My wheel cylinder kits and carb kit came in today. Maybe one of the mods can put this in the right place for us, For future reference. Front 1 3/4" kits NAPA # 57 Rear 2" kits NAPA # 1974 Carb kit for 6602...

????? Inquiring minds want to know- Where did you end up purchasing your parts?
