    Installed new PURest air dryer from Haldex.

    Since the temperature was around 45 the day the dryer started acting up, and that I pumped the brakes down 4 times ,I think ice wasn't the problem.But It might have been since it was cold that morning, but then again my truck sat in the sun the entire day so maybe it wasn't. Also I have 17 years...

    Installed new PURest air dryer from Haldex.

    My problem with the old one arose just a few days ago, So I don't believe we spoke about it before, But maybe we did. The problem was the air pressure built to over 150 psi with the old dryer. Knowing that this is the shut off unit for air pressure. I felt it was necessary to rebuild the old...

    Installed new PURest air dryer from Haldex.

    Overall it's an easy swap out. I did have a few things I felt members should know when they go to swap one out. 1) The small fitting on the old dryer has to be installed on the new dryer.2) The long bolts with the kit are to long and additional washers are needed to fully seat the bolts.3)Make...

    Anyone use Motorkote,or Hot Shot?

    Why was this general thread moved to "alternative fuels" since it's not about fuel at all any way shape or form?

    Anyone use Motorkote,or Hot Shot?

    bradley it sounds like you might have had a bad experience! But like I have said and will continue to say Google hates me and will never return any results that I ask of it!!! But how about the injector cleaner? Any good ones on the market, or should I just replace the injector, not that I think...

    Anyone use Motorkote,or Hot Shot?

    I have heard about Motorkote lube for a while and have heard some great things, but I have read on this site a few stressing things. So that made me wonder , If this product is so good. Then why isn't everyone using it? Or why isn't it more mainstream than what it is? Because I still ask a lot...

    Hawker battery questions.

    So the general consensus for charging these batts this weekend would be to disconnect each one and charge to maximum volt of 12.8 volts. If they charge that high.

    Hawker battery questions.

    I'm not a fan of anything exploding around me. I am a complete idiot as far as batteries and many more things if you ask people that know me, but What should I look for in a battery? What should I expect to pay so I can start saving?

    Hawker battery questions.

    I think that is what's happening the voltage is there just not the CCA and the batts don't have enough behind them anymore. After all they have lasted 11 years. Sucks it wasn't 11 years with me!!!! But I will try to charge them this weekend and see what happens. But I do realize the end is near...

    Hawker battery questions.

    No the truck turns over for about 4 seconds then quits. Second attempt is about 1-3 seconds of cranking. I think this is my cold start problem. The only battery charger I have access to is a large roll around and won't fit in the truck, and since I put the singles on it's to tall for the cables...

    Hawker battery questions.

    I have 4 of the Hawker HASP-FT batteries in my M923. I noticed that they are now 11 years old from the date of manufacture. Reading the Tm from Hawker it states that these batteries have 54 month service life.I also tested the voltage of all 4 batteries and are within 1 volt of each other, The...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I called Napa and told them this unit was crap and they are getting a new one, but I think I;m going to go with the other unit that is 20 bucks cheaper and doesn't have the possibility of failure like this one does.Thanks Swamp Donkey!
