I would start with some fine sugar or white Mason sand. But I'll be honest. If I already had play sand I'd probably use it. Just in very small amounts. Again don't forget to sift it. You don't want rocks and crap in there.

Play sand might be a bit coarse. But if you sift the gravel out and use only small amounts at a time it should be fine. Maybe less than a 1/4 cup or so. It doesn't take much.

Pull inspection port on drum and insert a funnel. Add sand. Drive. After you feel you have thoroughly sanded your shoes and drum stop. With inspection port in vertical position remove cover again. Insert water hose. Flush with copious amounts of water. Let drain. Drive again with...

I love seeing these trucks flexed out.

The brake drum stays in the same place. The drum detaches from the hub. Don't forget to flip the bearing races.

That's the thing. He did. He has the 2 standard tanks and a 3.5 gallon auxiliary tank on the other side of the drive shaft. We did that for the air ride. We wanted to make sure it had plenty of air for the bags.

Just remember those horns use tons of air. My buddy put a triple air horn on his bobber and you can watch the air guage plummet when he lays on the horn. It is LOUD too. Which is awesome.

I think 395s steer easier that the ndcc's. You have oil in your steering box?

My drilling rig is mounted on a chevrolet c 6500 with the hydromax brake booster. It stops that heavy thing real nice. I recently had to replace both the master cylinder and the hydromax unit. Ran me a little over $900. So beware of sticker shock if it goes bad on you. The performance is...

You ever driven a deuce with no air assist for the brakes. I have. Very scary.

Then turn your air compressor governor up and see if that helps. It's easy and free to try.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I set the tractor front end loader on one side of the tire and then the dozer blade of the trackhoe on the other. Then chained the runflat to the trackhoe bucket and yanked it out. Same idea basically. Fill a squirt bottle with really soapy water...

Only if you want to remove the air assist regulater. It will use more air without it. However, you may get more assist with the regulator gone.

Yes.

You can't. And the easiest way to break the bead is a pair of tire irons. At least for me it is. Getting the runflat out sucks. I used a track hoe and a tractor with a front end loader to yank them out. Obviously not everyone has these at their disposal.

Aero turbine 3535. If I had to guess I'd say it reduced the sound between 2-4db. That may not sound like much but the way the db system works that's actually a pretty big reduction. No ear muffs required around town. On the interstate I still wear them from all the other noise the truck makes.

My father is a big classic car and hotrod guy. He has always said if you can see it from the roadside and there's no for sale sign it's probably not for sale. If it is for "sale" they always want quadruple or more of what it's actually worth. I don't mean to sound insensitive but when I'm...

Every welding supply shop sells bottled co2. It's the most commonly used shielding gas.

As long as you can get the nut to start then the standard one will work. That's the only issue some have encountered using standard ferrules. All of my return lines are redone with standard ferrules. No leaks.

I just used brass plumbing ferrules from home depot. Worked fine.
