  1. I wonder how radios would work with a positive ground since the outer shield on the antenna wire is grounded
  2. The only problem with using a negative ground device in a positive ground vehicle is you have to make shore the case or mound is not grounded
  3. It’s amazing how one person’s leadership can change the course of a company
  4. Ouch, that hurts me just thing about it
  5. I have one in the truck but my friends rarely turn there’s on. back before cell phones that was all we had today some of the clubs insist on proprietary radios or GMRS, FRS radios
  6. Air the truck up, chock the wheels, release the parking brake and shut the engine off, then have someone hold the brake pedal and walk around and listen for the leak. the last one I have was a faulty valve on the front brakes
  7. Back in the 80’s I drove a 1975 DM600 roll off truck that started out as a power company truck. There were two air levers on the top of the dash, one was for the power divider lock and the other was differential lock. In the mud I would flip both levers and it would claw its ways through the mud turning all eight rear tires currently i have an ex US Navy truck that has Detroit lockers in each rear axle and the air lockable power divider. I also have a two axle truck with an air lockable rear axle. It is actually common for the tractors that were ordered to haul bottom dumps her in California
  8. The emergency, red, is connected to the tank with no valve to pressurize the tank the service, blue, is connected to the valve that is mounted on the tank. thr brake chambers are connected to the valve on the tank the valve on the tank serves as a relay since the service line does not produce enough air to operate the brakes by modern standards the maxi lines are connected directly to the tank the port location on the valve varies based on the valve
  9. Trump is just trump he does not appear to have changed dramatically from the real estate developer I remember from 30 years ago, unlike the career politicians he was or is running against
  10. You need a short bus to follow the rig around to transport the rescue personnel
  11. Quite normal look up COLA air brake test most trucks will loose air, it is only an issue if the compressor can’t keep up. I don’t start chasing the leak until it happens over a very long lunch
  12. Was there paint, rust, corrosion or other crap on the fitting or was it worn away to a smaller size?
  13. Garrison can rebuild or remanufacture it. the end piece that the tie rod screws into is NLA if you pm me your email address I can send you the manuals
  14. Is it the cylinder that connects the steering box to the pitman arm that is leaking? This is actually the control valve. this is a garrison control and to the right of the fittings it says garrison, has the part number and date stamped in the body.
  15. Why do you think the cylinder needs to be replaced?
  16. Since you say power steering cylinder I suspect that you have an ad on system and not an integrated power steering box if it is a garrison system. Garrison is still in business and will rebuild there system Please post some pictures of the system so we can help you
  17. Do you have any more pictures of the truck and trailer? how much rust is there?
  18. The seagulls are bold. If you leave your spot they come in and see if there is any treats for them FYI these pictures are from the Jersey shore
  19. Just going to be a Volvo with different badges on it, but no dog on the hood because that reduces the milage by .00000001
  20. The coolant fan should be running when the ac is on and the compressor clutch is engaged, especially standing still. the ECM may turn it off when the truck is moving the ac will not work well unless air is moving through the condenser
