That trailer is awesome. I love to see surplus reused into something out of the ordinary. The knowledge base of the members on theis site is awesome. We have so many members with a very broad range of knowledge and experiance! This is a very cool thread.

One more thought, look over all of your positive cables. Look very closely for a short to ground. A large intermittent load could cause spikes that would blow bulbs. Known bad spots are near the turbo, under the edge of the cab,and the hole in the frame near the battery box.

Did Steve's door and fender make it through this one?

I disconnect my air line to set the brakes on my tagalong trailer, when loading.

Do you idle a lot? Vibration will kill them. The headlight mount rubber isolators get hard with age. I know we've posted replacement choices. Turning up your idle a little helps too. Watch your steering wheel and adjust untill it stops vibrating. Be sure your grounds are clean.

The solution to the problem was posted with in the 30 minutes of the OP's post. He doesn't have hours to search, yet has hours to change parts randomly. 2 days have past and his problem is not fixed yet, because he changed the least expensive part. He changed a cheap part instead of reading...

Someone recently called me "flippant". I had to look that one up. I was disappointed that it was not in reference to Flip Wilson (who didn't love Geraldine?). I like learning new words. Just call me Flip...

SWB is hardcore!

A grease gun. It comes in tubes(like normal grease).

Bad seal and possibly wear. Many guys use corn head grease instead of gear oil. It resists dripping.

Hey, is that a UFO?

Headlight switch operation is completely covered in the -10TM.

The knob on the top of the lever probably moves about 5-6 inches(off the top of my head).

BTW, it took about 7.25 tons of force to break them free in the press. And, I opted to torch cut the nut on the trunnion mount because the cotter pin was rusted stuck. We had a couple extra nuts for the task.

Good point, I concede. Hey Pat, why don't you mention about how we both used TMs today. Neither of us knew exactly which one we needed, but we looked and found what we were looking for. Took some time, and we both learned a bit more than we knew when we woke up. Soon, we'll be geniuses.

Oh, and this website has a search function too. It really works. If you use it and search for protection valve, you can find other threads that include part numbers and pictures. And many many times, if you find the part number in the TM, then search it on there site, you can pinpoint the...

But he saved money by buying the cheapest part first. When it comes to MVs, there is this magical thing called a Technical Manual. If you can read, you can use it to find and fix problems with your MV. There is even a special TM that only has exploded veiws and part numbers. They are...

I'd really like to know.
