Thank you all for the well wishes.....

Still on track, and Izzie needs a break before I do running around in the snow lol......mind you, her little legs can't move like I can in a foot of snow

Good for you.

*sniff sniff*.....do i smell some sarcasm lol

Both the dogs on mine face the same way, but they are from the local "mack" dealer.....probably cheaper that way.....

Looking for a new set too....the new guy took my truck one weekend and tried to back up a curb without hanging the flaps on the hooks and ripped the bottom corner off the outer passenger side...that sunofabitch!!!!!

Recently purchased an "e-cig", and within the first 36 hours, cut the number of cigarettes down from nearly 40 a day to 6.......and i feel a million times better....just had to pass that along.....

Its nice being able to breath deep out in the cold and not cough, or laugh till i cough....an not cough...and keep up with my 2 year old daghter and not need a break.....

Welcome....good luck with the troublesome Granite.......ill bet its emissions systems or injector cups....lol

Of course, assuming its an MP series......

Would the museum have the build sheet for my 2011 gu813????

Theres a few holes i cant fill in.

that poor "little" deere didn't stand a chance.....lol. Can't beat brute force and ignorance.

Belt driven compressors were very common on a lot of trucks up to the 1970'S. The gaspots from that era were belt driven IH,Gmand Dodge. The small V-8 Cats 1160,3208 were belt driven.It should not be hard to find a bracket or belt driven compressor.Joe D.

a high school buddies dad is a local electrical contractor, and had an old ford cherry picker. It was (is?) a gas job with a belt driven compressor for the brakes and pto.

I would love discs.....just gotta find a way to convince the boss man. Anyone have a ball park number to convert an triaxle from drums to discs? i realize there are lots of variables, just a rough estimate will suffice for the time being........

Yard guy at work has a 2014 mustang gt, had it about 3-weeks when someone hit it in a parking lot and wrecked the front driver fender, front of the driver's door, rocker panel.....no note, no nothing.....people suck

Power supply can be fairly easy to replace in a desktop

I ripped the carpet out of my first jeep and shot the inside with rhino lining....best money ever spent

And.....welcome

The epa07 (dpf) emissions system had been giving trouble. Lots of cracked filters. My buddies 2010 mp7 has gone thru 5 or 6....

I have had good luck (knock on wood) with the epa10 (def) system so far, 120000km on a 2011 model year.

Both are gu813's with mp7 405-m and fuller 8ll in vocational service

Found a NOS factory aluminum wheel. Need to find three (3) more NOS or mint wheels. Need center caps too. Here is a file photo of the wheel...

If they share a bolt pattern with jeep, an old buddy of mine might have a set in his garage.....

Good read. Thank you.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Yeah, I've still got a lot to learn, so hopefully this is a good place to start.

Possibly one of the best places to start.....

Welcome

Although, closer inspection of the pics reveal a ridiculous shifter.....damn

Ha.....neat.

Too bad it's so far away. The cab on our R is a bit rough.......

This makes baby Jesus cry.

Could have been worse......maybe

Don't mean to hijack....

We have a pair of small air cooled diesel generators with both PULL START and electric start that have compression relief lever. Needs it to start either way.......pull starts a bitch, lemme tell you Thing will break your fingers if you don't know what you're doing.

We run an old (89) rd with an e6 350 econodyne and an 8ll that puts my mp7-405m and 8ll to shame......

Good ole 360. A buddy of mine had a ram 2500 4x4 witha 360 in high school. Good reliable monster it was. Got a good laugh pulling him out of the mud with my 88 jeep yj 4.2l tho..... Ha. Still makes me smile lol

Not sure about this specific set up, but the pig farmer I worked for had a small livestock trailer with air over hydraulic brakes. There was a master cylinder mounted above the landing gear with an air brake pot actuating it from glad hands on the 99 Mack c? Tractor that pulled it. Can't remember if it had spring brakes too.....Seemed to be a fairly simple set up. Surely someone with more knowledge than I will chime in....
