I thought so, but I was serious!!

Naw you're wrong 'bout that! Don't know about the dog but SHE and the CUCV will still be there!!

Hey at least your wife loves your truck too!!

Sometimes you can simply tap the jake brake pedal a few times and it will make contact after truck sitting awhile.

I have seen Goodyear's do this without chains on my gravel roads! And it happens with tires that are not worn out at 30 to 40 mph.

I am on my second set of these Cooper tires in 235/85R16 on my 1031 flat bed. They go really good in all conditions and are nice on hiway too. I have come up on new pickups stuck in the middle of the road and pulled around them in the bar ditch in really bad mud and never slid sideways because...

Nice & Neat!! What do the bales set on in the middle of the truck bed to keep them level?

I drive my M1031 with the ProFab hay bed around 10,000 miles a year. It works great with the 4.56 gears checking cattle and feeding them. It gets used on a daily basis year around doing all kinds of farm work. Been doing this for about 8 years now.

Commander5993, Stay with it and you will succeed. At least you are learning how to work on all the components and you will have the satisfaction of knowing what parts are installed into them and how they work and perform.

Always check your batteries with a good load tester and take any guess work out of the picture. If those are 6 years old they would be suspect.

If the compressor isn't running how are you telling if it is over or under charged?

Just be careful and don't eat too much. If cattle eat too much they can lose their hair!

I would check the heads. The bottom end gets the blame a lot of the time when valve guides are worn out. I have seen "new" heads not be any good from day one. New valves not fitted to new guides properly can be in really bad shape in 20,000 miles.

Hang in there Rusty, we're praying for a full and speedy recovery. We still need your knowledge on a lot of things!!!

There were even tumbleweeds blowing around one windy day last week!!!

Are you volunteering to be our pickup man in Vegas???

What he said!

Unplug the wire going to the kick down solenoid on the tranny and see what happens. It is located just above the oil pan on the drivers side of the tranny. Easy to check.

It is mounted on the bracket that the gas pedal fastens to the cab with. It has a plastic slide with a nub that sticks out and the pedal actually pushes it when pushed toward the floor. It will slide down and stick and then not slide back with the pedal.

Check the electric kick down switch located down by the gas pedal. The mechanical slide part will get to where it won't slide properly and try to hang up out of position. Spray some silicone spray lube or wd-40 on it to free it back up. Easy fix if that is the problem.
