  1. I received the emails Today's email was interesting because at 5 am they had already chosen today's winner?
  2. Nice, original low mileage trucks do exist I have a 1989 FT900 with less than 30,000 original miles that I just retired the last 4 original tires this spring before the trip to the Reno convention
  3. Pulled the headliner down and there is nothing obvious Except a bad roof repair What should the air horn valve look like? This does not look correct
  4. That's still the policy to enter this country legally, at least part of it. My drafter entered this country and applied for political asylum, once she had her application approved she brought here family over one at a time and had to guarantee that she would house and feed them for a year until they got established, green card and job. If you have a bunch of money saved up you can bypass the sponsorship
  5. Per 4.2.2 ...."If the vehicle does not have an ECM, an ELD may use alternative sources to obtain or estimate these vehicle parameters with the listed accuracy requirements under section 4.3.1 ELD Sensing of this appendix."
  6. That's going to be interesting The back portion of the gasket between the roof vent and roof is under the roof top AC I think I will remove the headliner tomorrow Can you get a replacement plastic headliner or how can the plastic be repaired?
  7. It's still leaking in the rain Any ideas on where to look, I don't see where it is leaking, I just have water on the floor Are the gaskets for the small lights available
  8. One of my projects is to mount a auto crane econoton on a steel pallet Depending on how thick your forks are the tubing may alloy it to twist too much 3x8x1/4 is the perfect size for my forks but they are 2x6x72
  9. Can you run an eld app? The eld needs to sense Speed, this is easy to accomplish with a generator on the speedometer cable Engine power, again easy to simulate using an ignition on circuit Miles driven, this is usually fed from the computer and may be hard to simulate and this may be the reason for the pre 200 exemption
  10. All painted and back in but it's dark so no picture with it mounted, just painted Is the boot that goes over the ball available? Also removed the floor mat and padding because the padding was wet. Lots of surface rust from some open holes in the roof and a big dent at the back corner of the AC unit. All caulked for now
  11. On the gauges did you just reverse the wires or did you actually change the gushes? My 1975 is also positive ground and I may convert it because it's the oddball in my vehicles
  12. This is typical for the news They have no ethics to portray the facts and twist it for there political agenda or ratings. I am also coming to the conclusion that the entire education system faces the same problem with ethics. In my business working for educators is worse than working for contractors This reminds me of an incident that happened on some rich guys property. The contractor convinced him that CAT padlocks were super secure, he goes through this whole speal to me all the while I am thinking the keys are under the seat on my truck.
  13. Maybe it means something in Swedish. Have you checked your setup language and set it to American and not kings English The internet says that in Swedish P can be an abbreviation for father. Congratulations on getting your ? pregnant You could always take it to Ikea, they might be able to understand it better that Volvo/Mack
  14. I cleaned up the bubble gum and got the spring back in there Now it's time for lunch, a shower and off to real work
  15. All three tabs are there With the pin being welded in place it's not going to come apart without some grinding, I was thinking about leaving it welded in there. Tomorrow I was going to clean up the welds, hopefully the welder v them before welding, and wire wheel the whole shifter and give it a coat of paint I was thinking about making a tool out of a harbor Freight screwdriver to help with getting the spring back in The tower did have some funny paint markings on it like the salvage yards use. I wonder what P30 means
  16. I pulled the shifter and the spring has popped out of its retainer The sides of the bottom of the shifter have what appear to be grinding marks but not much if any material is warn away The corners of the tip of the shifter are warn at 45 degree angles, should I weld them up? Here is the inside of the trans Also there are two welds on the shifter arm Suggestions
  17. That's what I did if I was running around town growing up on the east coast but not if we were going to run down the highway or freeway. My current work truck has locking hubs as do my old jeep
  18. Did you try flipping the fifthwheel slider switch to see if you have air out of the second line?
  19. Chains? I haven't put chains on in decades living in Southern California. Did get yelled at by the CHP for pulling into the chaining area to lock the hubs on my truck.
  20. I know it's been a year but this project has been on the back burner The ford F800 is almost finished so I have decided to get to work on this It seems to me that the manual steering box, with partially working garrison assist, takes more turns lock to lock than the power boxes on my F800. Am I right or is this just me? Does anyone have a parts breakdown for the 5 speed direct shifter tower? There is a lot of up down play in the shifter.
  21. You could look to see if there are any extra air lines in the frame ahead of or behind the tandems
  22. The face of the air gauge says turner quick lift. Turner and page merged at some point so that gauge may be related to the lift axle. I do agree that the wires going to the brakes are probably for an early abs system. It seem to remember that the early abs was a POS and commonly disabled or removed. I think there is the remains of an ABS system on the military dolly in my storage yard The wire goes into the flange the holds the brake spider to the axle housing The sheet metal covers, held on by the small bolts, are really just dust covers. We remove the dust covers and leave them off so that junk does not get trapped in there and you can easily tell if an axle seal is leaking
  23. Page did make a spring retracted air suspension lift axle The air switch below the lift axle psi tag looks like to is for a sliding fifth wheel Did you request the package from the Mack museum
