Should work.  We can do a few different shots for different postings.  That is, if Dean doesn't get camera shy!

I think the gate opens to the public at 10:00.

I think we should.  Just have to coordinate it with everybody.

I will send my cell phone number to anybody that's planning to be there.  Dean has it already, and I think I sent it to Joey.  I'll send you a PM, Brocky.

From a totally ignorant perspective, it sounds like a check valve.

But there are much brighter people on here who will be able to help.  I have no doubt.

Sounds like Joey, Dean, Brocky, and I will be there at least. 
 

I was hopin’ you would see this one, ‘Train. 

I'm not sure, but I THINK Haldex-Midland may still sell those rebuilt switches.

I see several types online.  https://www.heavydutypros.com/mack-wiper-air-control-valve-7623-7547070.aspx?utm_medium=paid&utm_keyword=&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=16494479656&utm_network=x&utm_placement=&utm_source=&utm_prodid=174594&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmICoBhDxARIsABXkXlJsZ_StkSy2jAWbs5qq_sMPr4a2c7C-XMID26ek3__9Wcxxa1wo7c4aAsGSEALw_wcB

I'm sure some of the guys will know more about the inner workings of these.

Probably.  But, look this over.  Start down at about page 19-20.  Gives some items to check.

Just bumping this thread.  Brad's truck show this weekend.  Weather forecast looking great right now.

Exit 33 off of US 321 between Hickory and Gastonia, NC.

He said "tranny"...

This is one of "those" guys I was telling you about.  Help him and he'll help you.

Welcome!

Start by telling the guys here everything you can about the truck.  Manual or auto?  VIN number?  Shift plate picture (if it has one)?

Lots of experts on here.  Some of them are downright amazing.  A couple of them can even look up the VIN number and tell you more about the truck than most of us could if we were standing in front of it!  But, they will need a little more information to get them started. 

I say it's another case of..."your truck sucks!"  And the best way to make it "cool" would be to drop it off at my house.  Then it would be cool!

Absolutely beautiful.  Can't wait to see more pictures.  Love those steel-dash R-models.

Diesel-Electric locomotives proved themselves years ago.  It's about time somebody noticed how efficient they are.  I've been wondering when somebody would jump on this bandwagon.  Cudos to them!

Power steering boxes can have a little movement that feels like "play" that is actually movement in the valve (either rotary or axial).  3" at the OD of the wheel, Like MACKS said, isn't all that much.  Tires?  Alignment?  Drag link?  Rod ends?  Spring eye bushings?

Hope Dad comes through it okay.  We'll be thinkin' about y'all.

You should hear me…

Is that the one with Keenan Wynn?

Yes.

They do that a lot if they are not happy with something I read they use the 55 Chevy in American graffiti for the sound effects. Burt Reynolds, Trans Am they were not happy with the car the way it sounded..

Yep. The original T/A sound in the movie S&theB was indeed the 4-speed big-block Chevy from “2-Lane Blacktop”, which was also Harrison Ford’s car in “American Graffiti”.
I noticed that a lot of the remastered versions actually sound like a T/A now. I had a couple of those cars and loved them. But they WERE a late ‘70’s “smog motor” and did not sound like the 454 sounds in the original release. 
 

Another interesting movie car was Tony Danza’s ‘57 Chevy in “Hollywood Knights”.  It was the “Project X” car from Popular Hot Rodding magazine. In the scene where they are racing the Cobra, you can see a puff of smoke off the engine. They blew the transmission and hurt the motor.

Here in NC, "no title" can be tricky.  NC will do a "title search", but sometimes completing the sale can be tricky.

It looks more like a parts truck to me.

got lost in the moment going back to page one of this post  started many years ago. interesting facts and pictures. seem to be a lot of CT input and pictures.  D8 I have run , worked on which included changing cutting edge in 90 degree sun . IH  TD20 I put  a number of hrs on during blizzard of "78  .

You just triggered a repressed memory!  The cutting edge on the K/G cutter blades we used was welded on, not bolted like our dirt blades.  Cutting one of those off and replacing it was quite an ordeal.  Helped do a couple of those as a young man.  Get more welding experience right there in a couple of days than most people get in a lifetime.

I'll need to drink a little extra tonight to try and push that memory back into hiding!

Thanks for coming back with the fix.  That really help folks out on here.  Too many people never give that feedback.

Glad the Dog is happy again!

Do you have the toggle switch on the dash to flash the high beams?  If so, do they work when that switch is flipped?  IIRC, that same toggle will dim the lights if they are on high beam.  I THINK that switch energizes the high beam filament without going through the "tilt beam" switch.

Might help narrow it down pretty quickly to the dimmer switch.
