my 932A1 came with a springer base. I removed the spring and replaced it with an air bag. The original seat bottom and back were untolerable so they got replaced with a HMMWV seat and I think it is very comfortable now.
The pop-off is normal. The air compressor runs continuously. When the air pressure reaches a certain point (around 120 or so) the valve releases the pressure to keep it in the safe zone. Read up as much as you can on the operation and driving of a large vehicle with air brakes.
That monster truck appears to be an old school out-dated ride. Naturally aspirated big block, I'm guessing. Prolly weighs around 11,000 lbs. The deuce has a definite advantage in this contest. More weight, more torque. I would like to see the video, pretty sure the deuce wins this one.
You could not even bear to watch me drive my ATV onto the TOP of the bed of my lifted truck with 35" Mickey Thompsons. Cover is made my Diamondback in Pa.
If I remember my 205 cases correctly, they had 2 crossmembers close together. The ends of the skid plate bolted to those crossmembers. For the 208, there is only one crossmember. The skid plate bolts to it, and just rests under the t-case.
That's a real nice truck. If I wasn't so busy with my 932, I would have had more interest in it. Glad it went to a good home instead of the great grinder in the sky.
When I met Larry @ the BMV and he asked me about that truck, I said I could have it sold with one phone call. Well, it was one text and a phone call.:p
Look real close at the end of the cooler element. There is a small dot on one end. Line that dot up with the arrow/slash mark located on the element housing.
It is never wise to use blocks on a 4x4 steer axle. The adverse effects are when the blocks shift and then you are just along for the ride. Don't do it.2cents
Yes it sure was leaking. I have never been so glad to see something leak in all my life!!!! All of the new parts showed up today. Gonna re-assemble it and start the flushing.
It was leaking at a solder joint. I could repair it, (even block off the bad tube) but I just don't trust it. I got a new one for piece of mind. The new unit looks far more better built, especially the ends.
I should have mentioned that my 932 spewed choclate milk out of the coolant reservoir last week. That led to the removal of the oil cooler for investigation.
Necessity is the mother of invention. I just had to know if it was the culprit or not. I cannot take full credit for this set-up. Mike Evens (aka The Wizzard) searched his garage high and low to find something to get it sealed.
