I'm finally making some great progress on my SEE. I now have brakes after repairing the pneumatic system. The crossover pipe was corroded solid. I decided to go with a 10 mm 316 stainless steel replacement. Unfortunately, I had to purchase a Ridgid 10 mm tubing bender, which I will now...
Thanks for the photos. You have a very nice looking truck! The grill looks like something I can easily fabricate. Is it constructed out of plastic or metal?
I have to tell you, I have had two different vehicles with Pertronix ignition systems. Both Pertronix systems failed and the failure mode for both sounds virtually identical to your situation. I trashed the Pertronix systems in both, going back to original points and condenser and never had...
I'm wondering about the grill for a FLU419 SEE. If you look at Item 21 on the attachment, a grill of sorts is shown in the TM. The TM calls it (Panel, Ventilation). My SEE does not have this. Actually, I have never seen a SEE with this installed. Does anyone have a SEE that has this grill...
This won't answer your question, but I have a suggestion. I purchased an inexpensive UPS for my modem and router that will keep them alive for several hours or at least until I bring my generator online. I've found this to be very useful since we have a large number of power outages.
The lines you would need to switch are what I called Line 1 that feeds pressure to the winch from the main energizing switch. The other line that needs to be switch is the line that feeds pressure to the main energizing switch, which is the bottom line going to the switch. I have no idea where...
I took three photos of the switches and one of the pneumatic lines going to them. It was very hard to see everything at once. I also went underneath the truck, but the location where the lines go through is not visible due to the transmission. After looking at the switches, I really think...
I'll try to take some photos for you. One question - was your truck originally a winch truck? If not, perhaps whoever installed the winch screwed up and reversed the lines.
This has me confused as well. As you say, this is a very simple setup. Are you absolutely certain that the airlines aren't switched? That is the only thing I can think of. If the lines are switched, air pressure will go backwards through the switch and energize the winch with the switch in...
