COUNT THE TURNS AS YOU REMOVE THE OLD ONES. Turn the new ones in the same number of turns. If you only turn the locking nut enough to allow the chamber to turn that is a good guide also. My $ .02

aziator, YOU are today's winner of the coveted Best Use of a Defunct Craftsman Wrench Award. It's amazing all the things they are good for besides NUT removal.

The last truck I saw split RIMS on was a '60s International Paystar farm truck that only got used for harvest time. The farmer brought it in to have "new" bald tires put on it and was LIVID when we refused to do it. We showed him some videos from www. wannadietoday? (not a real site) and he...

Never been in the military either. :shrugs:

I am a bit spoiled. I have a very nice connection for ANY hydraulic lines, hoses, etc. almost next door. I had an '84 K-20 that "blew" thru 3 sets of "genuine" hoses under warranty. After the 3rd one left me sitting beside the expressway, oil-less, I had Rusco Hydraulics replace the rubber...

The air tanks MAY be mounted in whatever position you desire, as long as water can get from all the tanks to the lowest point in the lowest tank and you have your drain valve at that lowest point (or have a drain on each tank at the lowest point of each tank). Am I correct in understanding...

:confused: My two am confooooosed. Last base I went to, I stopped at the gate, gave my DL, reg., and POI just like I would to an officer on a traffic stop. The nice MP thanked me went into the hut and shortly came back out and handed me my stuff and a very pretty hang tag for my mirror. He...

That just might be the best idea yet. The suspension installed was designed for a certain load. If you are never going to carry that weight then there is nothing wrong with having "lighter" springs installed. In fact, it's a very good idea. Just remember to have some kind of "tag", sticker...

68xray, sorry yer butt fell off, guess yer a lot HIPPER now. rofl Obviously, I need your expertise.

bwana, just for accuracy my "degrees" are from the School of Hard Knocks with advanced studies at Redneck Community College and Creative Solutions Academy. C S A used to be called something else but it wasn't PC anymore so they hadda change the name. My sheepskin still bears the original...

Sitrep -- Spoke to the seller a week or so ago, just after Memorial Day. Was told they are finishing up a coupla projects and then my BBT (big, beautiful truck) should get her turn in the shop. Trying hard not to get too excited but, DANG, I really wanna get her home and have at her. ( In a...

Extreme Tactical Dynamics -- Up to 80% off the competition. Two amber led pods (or one longer one) on the left rear of the tail end charlie. ( I am going to have an "Arrowstick" type director on the top rear amidships ) The middle and / or lead vehicles should maintain safe following distance...

Wow ! Will hafta keep eyes open. As for camper parts . . . I am building all ( well most ) of mine. Going for house quality, just able to climb 60 percent grades.

I think she enjoys being used for what she was made for.

Yeeeeeeaayyyyyyyaaahhhhhh Boooooeeeeee ! and STUCK the landing ! Wanna do THAT in Exit Strategy ! I think 2 SRBs should push it hard enough.

Read the instructions all the way through before you touch anything. (Great bathroom entertainment) When fully understood, FOLLOW them exactly. It's not an easy job but it isn't rebuilding an engine either. Best of luck and BE COOOOOOL ! hahahahahaha

Csm Davis, good point. As usual. I am planning to use Lizard skin and add a coupla VW early Rabbit cowl drains.

Csm Davis, you are correct but nobody mentioned a Class 8 compatible "easy inch". Used them regularly over the years when the springs sagged on fire trucks. As I said, I don't even think the OP was planning anything like a "block" of any kind. I also agree that bagging the rear would...

doghead, I think I love you ! ( In that manly, platonic, non-sexual way that we men love each other ). My vote also is for a "one off" modification of a 109 type. Maybe the C I A ordered it without windows, and with a side door so they could sneak in and out of it while parked in downtown Hanoi.

If ya learn something, you've won. Now back to topic. As I said, if nothing more than some minor shinies come out with the old goop, put new goop in and go tear it up.
