I just made slave cables with 2/0 wire and crimped the ring ends on first and then soldered. I feel "keeping" the good connection will prevent the heat in the first place. Of course with that heavy of a wire I had to use a torch to get it hot enough to make the solder sweat in. I also always...

Excellent. Thanks

How 'bout some pics when you're done (or in progress)?

Don't know if it's a M1008 or '09 but with the stance of the '08 before sagging, I am very confident the 2.5" superlifts will put you pretty level with the rear. These front Chevy springs were destined for failure being the general put the arc backward to start. I dont think the shackles need...

I want a complete tan cargo cover for my M929! I have yet to see one but sure would like to see one on my truck. It would also reassure my bringing the truck.

Ah, them word pictures clarify so well!

Is there a seperate thread for items wanted brought, and items being brought?

Mine were Rough Country. Not the greatest brand but somewhere in the middle. They lasted longer than the smoking 350 gasser. A little on the stiff side with the extra leaf.

I hope that works. A lot of "modern" chargers are digitally controlled and are a fail in many aspects. I had a friend give me a battery out of a burnt up battery booster because he said his charger said it was not able to take a charge. One day on my old analog unit brought it up to 12.4v and it...

Did they have any for 5 ton dumps?

I have installed add a leaf springs before and really saw no noticable improvement, on a ' 78 civy 3/4 ton Chevy. A week later, I went to Wheeling Tire and got 2" lift springs for $200 and used the add-a-leaf springs with them.

Agreed. Maybe one for $1500 and a nice discount for both rear axles. I would go $2250 for two. Air only, however. Also, if they need to be different for the A2, than I would need A2.

I used a 40 year old 6 amp 12v charger on the two batteries I had that had about 3v in them. At first I gave up on them and considered them dead, just using two in my truck. They took no charge in 24 hours. Then one day (months later) I decided to throw the charger on one for "days" to see what...

That's awesome. They'll remember that beast pulling them out their entire lives!

"Winter rally". You're in Florida; there's no winter!

Wow, you got a couple nice trucks. I like the all or nothing approach!

Picked up a load of scrap wood from the (hardwood) sawmill today and swung by the heavy truck tire shop, that I am on good terms with, to get my slow leak plugged and hopefully converted to a "no leak". They plugged it nicely for a mere $10. No more CTIS attitude on startups anymore (hopefully).

Got these at NAPA. They're the thicker, longer ones. Pretty sure they were under $20/ea.

Well, that chamber was a pretty easy fix. I took it off, straightened the bent side of the chamber, and reinstalled it. Had a little thread damage, but with patience (having the pushrod in the way) the threads got cleaned. That metal them chambers are made of is pretty heavy duty. It took some...
