Bad dirty fuel can drive you nuts. Its not unheard of to have to change the filters several times, in close succession, due to dirty fuel. Change filters, check fuel pressure to verify, etc. Start over... that got it running again. I was last to believe I needed to change the filters several...

If you maintain and cultivate the proper immage in the neighborhood, nobody would dare go near your vehicles!

It depends on the the repair needed. Shops that do re-capping, can do the job. I prefer the Bandag process. They can make repairs, that will surprise you, and you will be able to safely get the life out of the tread. Have good ones on the front. You should be be all right. Keep it under 90!

If as above, the diaphram is leaking, and you cage the brake, yes you can drive with it, but you should stop the air leaking, as it can compromise your system. Several things are in my Kit to do that: An assortment of pipe plugs to stop off that line, but also an assortment of brake lining...

Hang in there. You still have some time left, for things to come together. If that 2nd EUC drags out, call GL there at the base and explain, that you need more time. My guess is, that you will find somebody here, that wants to go for a little ride. But the way I get it, you need somebody...

Lebowski: How are you going to handle the wiring? That is, are you going to try to incorporate it in the existing system, like in the BO light circuit, or add new lights, and keep the existing system intact? I had to re-wire mine, but I left the earlier turn lights in place, so the BO system...

Looks sharp! What will you use it for? The only thing I would be concerned about (and maybe you have addressed it already), is the large expanse of unsupported tarp, on the front of the trailer. Is there an expanded headboard too, to support it?The tarp is really worthwhile, so I made a...

Good Show!

Wow - looks to be in remarkable condition. Even with an 003. I would be cautious about the fridg part, and check to see if they really did discharge it. Maybe you can see some evidence of that there, on the unit. Otherwise, there are a lot of refrigeration Guys around, especially around the...

I live in the cold too, (it was -55F this morning, and right now its up to a scorching -50F) and for almost 50 years! 24 V is not new to me. I am opposed to removing batteries, unless for replacemant or cleaning, & especially not in the cold. Or using two 12V chargers for a 24V system... too...

When all is said and done, chain her up. That give you safety, security and control. Some weight in the back too. Letting air out give you a little, but chains are the answer. With duals, only use "three railers" (both wheels chained). Singles are dangerous, on duals (they will get you a...

Change the filters and fuel!

There are several types of the vinals. Getting the correct glue is important. I took a sample to the Tent & Awning Folks. they fixed me right up. Knew the kind it was, and exactly what to use. Get the cright glue, and it ani't coming apart. The patch will be no problem.

That's what I like to see. Somebody that has enough truck, to get the job done. That sure beats somebody going after it with a Ford Ranger, and saying it pulled great at 70. A shelter will look great on it. Will you have enough room for a little porch?

The bulb allows a certain amount of juice to enter the alternator, creating an electrical magnetic field which is needed to produce electricity. Blow tyhe bulb (or bad contact, as stated), and the system is out. Hang in there, you'll get it.

RYAX85 don't give up! There are a lot of right answers, and some just mostly right. Not sure how your posted question went unanswered - usually there is plenty of answer to go around.

I thought it was Gear Lube, in the T-Case. Same as the axles!

On spring brake pots, its not just too uncommon for the big mean spring in there, to break. That usually results in a jagged end that usually punctures the diaphram. The resulting hole can be so massive that the air escaping , won't make much noise escaping. But I'm over thinking... The...

The truck is not safe to be driven on the highway. The issue needs to be resolved, before its returned to service! One of the very good reasons to require a CDL, is that it mandates a thorough understanding of the air brake system. A DOT spot safety check will result in a substantial fine.

I just finished changing the the inner axle seals. They were leaking, but also the zipper boots were old, and had some small holes in them. Generally it was time for general maintenance on the steering axle. Here in the Northern Interior, all things can be subject to extreme cold, but...
