Spring Brakes Not releasing Hi Folks, My truck is a 1990 BMY 923-a2 that generally is in very good shape. Unfortunately my trucks sits more than it should. A few weeks ago I went to drive the truck and it would only move when a great deal of power was applied. A friend solved a problem...

FYI, Fastenal will not deliver to nor pickup from NV under any circumstances :sad: Last year, after many scheduling delays they finally said they were not booking any business with NV customers. I believe that this shipping policy is still in place today. Tom

Howdy simp5782, The parts were unmarked and I am under the impression from conversations with Eric that he may be having them made... I have not found any direct replacement for Eric's part myself. Tom

Howdy, We have used Fastenal in the past but they recently told us that they are not handling delivers to NV or CA and no delivers are currently available at this time. Tom
