I'd like to publicly give Airbornebandsman positive feedback for the serious crate he put together to ship a winch kit and spare spool from Las Vegas to Maine. The crate traveled coast-to-coast and then some because it was routed near LA from Vegas before turning northeast. I added up the...
I have my switch between the two batteries, I know it works because I had to yank the original dog bone to shut down my starter when it got stuck cranking away. Is there any argument against placing it there?
By the way, you can get 0/2 battery cables at Tractor Supply. I've also had them...
That is a beautiful machine.....and the submarine shower curtain especially is a nice touch. Congratulations!!! :beer:
In the UK, would this be considered a "caravan" ?
I noticed the box doesn't have any side windows and is that an AC unit on the roof? Got any pics of the inside and do you know what the truck was used for?
The Army has compared Dot 3 to Dot 5 when issues were suspected. There's lots of hydraulic pressure data in this study:

This ending is probably for the best.
However, I know you can get new 9.00x20.00 NDCCs at Universal Tire in Hershey PA if he decides to regroup after this attempt and try again. Of course, it would be prudent for the shop or other experienced persons to check, bleed the brakes, and other...
The seller emailed me pictures of the build tags, they say Rockwell and are newer then 1997. Maybe Meritor retained the right to use Rockwell production tags?
In any event, this seems to suggest the airshift transfer cases were in production up and through the last decade. Wow.
I believe this is his truck. Its an expired eBay auction link but you can view the pictures, thought it would be helpful to visualize it.

I talked to him on the phone 20 minutes ago, he was at the NJ/PA border rest stop off I-78.
I can confirm he said he's heading to Florida, not Maine.
I also said filters, he also said he had a steady leak of some sort but couldn't identify where it was coming from or what it was. I'm...
I hope the thief and his accomplices get their just rewards.
Last year a former employee of Bath Iron Works (Aeigis Destroyer Builder) was sentenced to three years in prison for walking 3,600lbs of copper cable out of the shipyard in 5 gallon buckets. After prison and losing his $60K/a year...
I looked up some gear lube viscosities and was surprised at what I found. Maybe some SAE90s are thicker than others explaining why 50 weight motor oil seems easier to shift?
Napa GL-1 seems off the chart but its the spec listed here.
I think they're just labeled quick connectors, at the Scarborough store they're over in the automotive corner in an aisle between the auto light bulbs and trailer wiring harnesses. They're about $2.50 for a set of 7 pairs.
Mine isn't a quick starter either but the "MultiFuel Engine Truck Operator" Guide says never to pump the accelerator pedal. Should this warning be ignored or is there some real validity to it?
Depending upon the condition of the dry rot, your old connectors may or may not be salvageable. But yeah, you can cut off the old connectors and crimp/splice them onto the new bulb wires.
In a pinch you can buy these quick-connectors at Wall Mart that crimp onto the wire. These fit the...
Re paint, I first coated it with black stove paint then top coated it with Gillespie 24087. It has turned pink in one spot due to the heat but I just touch it up with some paint spray and call it good.
