  1. It would have been better if the car was a Volvo
  2. The draglink end is still stuck on the pitman arm and has not budged. I smacked the side with the 4lb and nothing. I then flipped the castle nut and hit it repeatedly and still nothing. I even tried some heat and that did is make the grease smoke Any ideas? The good news is I was able to unscrew the control valve by hand after removing the clamp This afternoon the control valve was delivered to garrison for rebuild or remanufacure. They said almost all the parts are still available. If the valve is leaking through the spool they said usually the bore cannot be honed and must be replaced
  3. We have a few around here like that. The is an area north of Pasadena called Hastings ranch in which most people go overboard on the decorations If you have the time, money and desire I say go for it
  4. Brings back memories of having the paper delivered to the truck. I used to enjoy reading the morning paper spread out on that giant Mack steering wheel while the two guys on the back humped the trash cans. The truck was geared for walking speed so unless someone had a huge pile out I just let the truck idle down the street Front loaders were plain nasty with that crap spilling on the cab Residential trash is not to bad but restaurants are nasty The most fun was loading stump boxes on the roll off and seeing if I could freak someone out by getting the front tires airborne Now I think the real reason kids like trash truck is they want to secretly throw the school bully in the truck. Now they have restorative justice and a hug is supposed to fix everything!
  5. Monday I am going to call garrison to see if they will rebuild the valve since they are local. How hard is it to rebuild one of these or should I take it to a shop to have it done?
  6. I am looking for a set of fender extensions and mounting brackets for my Mack's
  7. I am looking for an air tank and brackets to replace the tank that is under my passenger side battery box on my 1975 RS685LT
  8. What's the best way to remove the drag link, control valve. I changed the filter and fluid but the power steering only works turning right, no assistance turning left.
  9. Coasting down the road are you in gear or in neutral?
  10. The jeepster is the two door convertible only available from the factory in 2wd The wagon is a jeep wagon The pickup is a jeep pickup The wagon and pickup were available in both 2wd and 4wd If you find a 4wd jeepster, old body style, it is probably sitting on a wagon frame I know where there is a nice big block 4wd jeepster sitting in a garage
  11. With no weight on the chassis the hard shifting is fairly normal PM me your email address and I can send you the operators manual
  12. I got the jake brake to work this weekend. The first issue I found was that there were no wires going to the throttle position switch After jumping around the switch I still had nothing. So I connected the solenoid wire directly to the battery and they worked. After separating the solenoids and playing with them a few times they were each working a working better . I wonder if it was sticky from not being used for who know how long. Today the dash switch was working, still with a jumper around the throttle position switch, there is a couple second delay and then the jake brake tries to kill the engine.
  13. How big is the shop, the ceiling looks a little low to be playing with big toys
  14. How do you take the cylinder apart, mine looks like the ends are crimped on
  15. The horn valve installation on the 1975 is similar but different from the installation on my 1985 RS688LST
  16. Not a $100,000 but they have created a group of dreamers and flippers this is combined with the decreasing number of available vehicles is causing a problem but this has been an issue for as long as I can remember just the TV shows have made it worse
