Where did you run them to? I was looking at Home Depot last night, they only have 25 foot sections of tubing.

Got the back wall painted, 2 coats so far, and did one coat with Behr's anti-skid junk in it on the floor. I couldn't even tell there was any grit in it when I painted the floor. Stuff was probably just a waste of money. Hopefully these rain showers won't get into the truck too much and...

I want to run tubing from the vents up the back side of the intake stack. What kind of tubing did you run?

Well, the truck got the ABS upgrade, but whoever performed the upgrade neglected to install the upgraded LQ-2 Bendix valve. It had some old valve that I haven't seen on any other trucks(or in pictures on here), nor could I identify the brand or model. I installed the new LQ-2 valve, and had a...

Finally found what I believe to be leaking back into the intake- the treadle valve is leaking. So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement or a rebuild kit.

Also, put in some Biobor into the diesel. Truck hasn't moved in over a month, so I want to keep things from getting gunky in the tank. Put in the shock dosage- 2oz(80 gallons- the tank is full).

Making progress. Even this Klean Strip stuff, which has been known to easily strip CARC is taking 4-5 applications to remove everything, and longer than recommended application times(recommended is 15 minutes, I've been leaving it 30-60 minutes- in 15 minutes it has barely done anything)...

I've decided to try paint stripper from Home Depot. Kleen Strip Premium Stripper. We'll see how this stuff works tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I don't care if it takes the paint off, it's all getting painted with fresh paint anyway.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. So far I've tried(unsuccessfully): Krud Kutter Adhesive Remover Paint thinner Lacquer thinner Gasoline Some orange spray that my dad says he uses at work for removing adhesive WD40 Surface preparation stuff(pre-paint) Brake Cleaner I'm thinking of...

Haven't used it on this truck yet, but in the past I've used Permatex the right stuff gasket maker on differentials. Never had any leaks.

Mine is currently bad. I have it shut off at the engine until I get/find a replacement.

Mechanics should be getting familiar with the systems, I see our new fire truck came with some sort of CTIS. It doesn't deflate the tires for different settings like on our trucks, but it has the ability to inflate them automatically if the pressure is low. A different system then what is on...

Hmmm...I'm thinking about finding something like clean dirt to put into the paint, and take it back to Home Depot and have them shake it up real good in their machine. Today after work I ground down around the screw holes for the passenger seat/battery box hinge screws, installed new screws...

Dynaglass'ed the plates I put down on the floor to cover the rusty holes in the floor. Did some preliminary sanding today. Have to finish sanding, and then apply a skim coat of bondo or something that I can get it smoother than the dynaglass. I'm still not sure how I'm going to paint the...

Got the plates all secured down, and put down a some dyna-glass around the edges to smooth things out. I didn't get anything sanded down yet, it took me a while to mix up little batches of the dyna-glass and then put it down as smooth as I could get it with the putty knife. Figure the smoother...

Don't everyone jump at once....color code I was looking for was: 15450 "Air Superiority Blue".

Mine vents regardless of the position of the parking brake.

I'm restarting going through the TM to try and figure this out. TM 9-2320-272-23-1 WP-133 From what I've read so far, it's either one of the relay valves, or the treadle valve. I'm going to start with checking the relay valves. Rather then following the TM and hooking up a pressure gauge to...

I haven't found any diagram or anything in the P2P software that tells you which line connection is which on the air intake. There are 3 connections on the air intake on my truck. I've eliminated the one as it is the vents from the fuel tank etc. It's one of the two larger lines- both of...

My truck does the same exact thing. I've followed the TM's, and the P2P software and I still can't figure it out. Soapy water hasn't helped as the leak is venting into the intake.
