  1. This is the part number that is on my unit in the cab on my 1985 RS688LST I have been unable to find any reference to this unit on the Red Dot website or in there parts book. Does anyone have any information on this unit and know if parts are still available? I need the evaporator core and expansion valve
  2. The real one is at home at the la county fire museum https://www.lacountyfiremuseum.com
  3. We saw that hood sitting on a trailer in Reno My door shells were keeping it company in the trailer storage yard
  4. I heard a similar thing from my friends that live in Reno, everyone in town New something involving trucks was going on at the GSR but there was no advertising. I think this has to do with this being the ATHS national convention and not just a truck show. To me it's not a big deal to not have a bunch of idiots off of the street wandering around my truck. I prefer industry shows over public shows. We have had more issues with vandalism, theft and stupid idiots at public shows. At industry shows I have found this being almost non existent
  5. I had a great time in Reno, where else can you see 975 trucks in one place, walk about 25 miles and ride in a golf cart an unknown additional amount of miles I met many nice people who were very friendly and talkative. The only issue I had was with a few drunks at the casino A whole group of us went there together, It was a fun but uneventful 1000 mile road trip Yes it did cost $35 to enter a truck, $50 for a show pass and $50 for the awards banquet. These costs where a fraction of the cost of fuel, lodging and meals to attend the show. The fee to enter the truck and attend the event is related to the cost to rent the facility. The vehicles were displayed indoors in two indoor rooms and the auction hall. Outdoors they were displayed in the RV park, two dedicated parking lots and a third overflow lot. Additional facilities included the unloading lot with loading ramp And the trailer storage lit. The $50 for the awards banquet is not unreasonable considering what my friends are paying for wedding receptions at similar places. My registration and insurance card are in the cab, as required by state law. My only complaints were the sound system in the hotel banquet room needed an upgrade and ATHS should have given the paperwork out to those that were not preregistered when they first entered the rv park.
  6. I am looking for a way to integrate a CB radio into my current sound system Currently I listen to music and make calls on my iPhone Unfortunately I have to turn the music off to hear the CB radio Is there a way to integrate this? I know cobra makes CB radios with Bluetooth for calls but that would not help with the music
  7. It's probably the combined weight of the truck and a tag or turntable trailer
  8. Same stuff goes on today like the Toyota pulling the space shuttle in LA
  9. Since I was up in the Bay Area last week to attend my son's graduation from Berkeley and to bring both kids home from college I asked the parts house to send the pump out to see if it could be rebuilt. UDS a local shop that has rebuilt injectors and pumps for me in the past rebuilt the lift pump. This pump is noticeably bigger that the pump on the 235
  10. What insurance company are you using?
  11. Based on the photos and an aerial view The locomotive needs to move forward on tracks that longer exist and the right of way is grown over with trees and the switch has been removed
  12. Based on the PAI catalog the correct lift pump should be ESP-3597, unfortunately this pump is NLA What pump can I use? What are my options? According to the PAI catalog ESP-3581 is only good up to 250hp
  13. The seller listed it as a 262
  14. Forgot to add that since the truck is local to me I contacted the seller The price started at $6,500 then went down to $5,000, and then to a buy it now price of $3,850. I was thinking about looking at it but I don't need another project and it might upset the wife.
  15. Another add for the same truck https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/hvo/d/homeland-old-trucks/6892513138.html
  16. Tuesday I removed the lift pump and fuel lines and dropped everything off at the parts house so they could make new fuel lines and get a replacement lift pump and I am in a holding pattern until they get everything. I did find a lot of oil crud on the block under the injector pump. It has a wet look to it just in front of the tach drive cable, which was very loose. It could be old crud mixed with the engine cleaner or a leak. I will wait until the engine is steam cleaned unless anyone has any other thoughts.
  17. I woke the truck up today to move it from the dirt storage area to the asphalt so I can finally deal with the lift pump and fuel lines. Last weekend I decreased the injector pump and surrounding area with two cans of gunk engine cleaner and a bunch of water Today I refilled the fuel filters, the primary was down a couple of inches. The truck started without much issue The new problem is the air pressure built up until the pressure release vented. Do I also need to replace the governor or is there another issue?
  18. I have some questions What 18" steering wheel did you use and do you have a picture What insulation do you go with and how much of the cab did you do. Do you have any pictures of your hood mounts and rollers?
  19. Did you actually measure the air bags and frame height when the truck is actually sitting on a level concrete pad? How much difference are we talking? Are you measuring the bag height from mounting surface to mounting surface? Are both rear suspensions the same? A change in components over the years could create a slight difference. What is the truck, year model?
  20. The area code is 415, San Francisco
  21. Based on the listing it looks like America on Wheels is the seller http://americaonwheels.org
  22. Sorry but I think a R model Looks better, except a superliner. Just my opinion growing up in a part of New Jersey where R models where everywhere.
  23. My thought on the front bumpers is the bean counters did not want to replace the bumper Minor damage on hoods can be fixed with some fiberglass
