Well, it's been a while. My dreams of making a crazy camper out of my truck changed. Living in the desert, we haul water. Our water company that delivers went out of business and guess what I did. The tank is 1350 gallons with a 225 GPM pump. Fills my holding tank in no time. The standpipe where...

It's been a minute.... AZ has had a brutal summer, and I was forced to switch gears and come up with a plan for shade. Local concrete is $8 a Sq. Ft. Uh, nope...dirt it is... Hopefully back to the truck!!

WOW.... a 2023 up for auction in AZ.....hmmm.....

The one I used, pictured above, fit perfect and came with everything. EXCEPT it is 12v. I didn't have time to order and wait for a 24v unit. Yes, the original one has an electrical wire to. I always assumed it was for a heater but could be wrong. I could have even used the original mounting...

good to know. I am going to call them and maybe ill just send mine in for a rebuild. While I know I can do it, I have 62 thousand other things i'm doing and my time is running short...

So, I was washing off all the diesel on the side of the engine and found this plate on the air compressor leaking quite a bit of air. I am also getting some engine oil around the vent of my brand-new air dryer. So, I guess it's rebuild time. Actually, I think I am just going to buy a reman unit...

ok will check it. The damage is from a chain wrench... That filter was pristine with only the crack in it yesterday. Only hand tight when installing the new one.... Thanks Ronmar!!

Not a good day yesterday. I was running into town to get another pallet of brick when I started smelling diesel fuel. I pulled into a gas station and saw fuel dripping all over and the side of the engine wet. I lifted the cab and discovered my fuel filter spraying fuel. It split! Like just...

Thought it was about time she started earning her keep! She rode like a Cadillac with the weight on the back!

During my search to find an affordable transmission fluid that meets our specs, I found this: Amazon.com: Triax Global Full Synthetic ATF, OEM Grade, Wide Specification Range for US, European, and Asian Vehicles, Compatible with TES 295, DEX VI, Mercon V and Many Others (5 Gallon Pail) ...

Question for the Transmission gurus. I drive my truck 10 miles a week to keep things lubricated and charged. When I park it, I turn my battery disconnect removing all power from the truck. Am I erasing the transmission memory? Should I keep it energized? Thanks!!

Well, I went and done it... And it works perfectly! I will source the 24v heater later. The factory one had me stumped... Oh well on to the next project!

Does anyone know if this will fit my 1083? Air Dryer For M35A3 & M939 w/ ABS? Found a deal if it works.... Not sure what the ABS means as I done have ABS...Thanks for the help..

ok I removed that large nut on top and there is a metal/rubber disc with a spring. I cleaned it all out and no change. No kidding, the spring maybe has 10 grams of pressure. Its super thin and spongy. I then removed the sealing disc and replaced it with the original one and no change. Just about...

I did put in both o-rings and lubed them with the provided grease. It leaks after it purges. Steady leak. Unloaded, i think? It has to be getting pressure in the can enough to unseat the valve. Both valves are doing it.

Well, a few things today. Got a pair of wheel chocks and chained them together. I then put a cable and lock on the battery box to prevent pilfering. Then it was time to address an issue I've had since I got the truck. My air dryer continuously leaking a fair amount of air. Gently blow into your...

Successful day. Got a piece of 6061 T6 .090 and fabbed the battery pan. Had to make a new cable and need to shorten a few others. Volts are rock solid and steady. The gauge on the dash sure is off and it flutters at idle. Gauge is steady while driving. I suppose I need to get a new gauge or...

You did for sure. I was just hoping the plywood would have worked. If you can believe this, a 4x4 piece of 3/4" plywood at Lowes was $49. Oh well, its just money...

OK, so I just now removed the plywood and rough fit a piece of 1/8" 6061 AL and it fits with about 1/8-3/16 to spare. The hump in the battery box lid fits as well. Ill go to the steel place tomorrow and get a piece of 1/8 steel and cut to size and fit them. I have two plastic battery trays I...

Well, I removed the lower battery tray insert so I could fit the group 31 batteries. I replaced it with a piece of 3/4 plywood. They dont fit. The lid hits the top posts. Just great... I cant take them back due to it being a special order. Something told me to just buy replacement wet 6tls...
