    I also kinda wonder why the levers on the pressure plate seem to have a circular mark scratched into them.....hmmm

    $ynchro

    You need to find yourself an old 2 inch input shaft that's in good shape to use for lining up those clutches. It's much easier than using the transmission. I still think a disc could be backwards. I'd feel really bad if you took it apart again only to find you had them in correct though.
  4. Mark T
    It's possible the discs are backwards. they only work one way, but will go together backwards

    Ahhhh I see. There's a lot to explore on that truck from looking at the pictures. At some point, that truck was loved

    What's the little radiator (?) in front of the radiator ?

    I don't understand the super high axles in dump trucks either. Salesmen seem to be under the impression the low gear in the transmission can do it. In my opinion any of these new engines have over 1000 pound feet of torque right of idle ( @ 1100 or 1200 RPM) even if feathering the throttle.

    I don't need anything quite like that (lol) but I do like the idea of a big block. Nothing sounds like a good and healthy BBC put'n it to the ground through a 4 speed

    Did anyone ever actually indicate the bell housing in this truck who knew what they were doing. It screams misalignment
  10. Mark T
    One of those big blocks would be just right for my corvette :-) maybe not the 454

    That spring looks a lot like a spring from the clutch on a Mack with a cable
  12. Mark T
    I used to have one that was pretty close to that.

    Some guys never had the pleasure of seeing bald bias ply tires (rags) let alone a nice worn out one with the wear spot where the actual plys could be seen in a feathered oval (lol) !!! this look was often augmented by rims with a old lug nuts welded on each side of the the valve stem hole !!!

    I often wonder where these trucks have been hiding and staying so well preserved ......and somehow ?? I missed the point when cab over Freightliners actually became (gulp) COOL didn't seem that way when they were around side by side with new Superliners and such

    I've owned several CHs, they always proved to be a good truck and gave good service. It's only lately I'm realizing these had the potential to be really good looking trucks.😍

    12/24.5 on 8.25x24.5 budd rim big as you're going to get without spending a fortune
  17. Mark T
    closest to a 11/24 would likely be a 12/24.5 on a ten hole tubeless Budd wheel (8.25X24.5), and that's probably still a little shorter than an 11/24. There's no cheap way to get rubber that big no matter what route you take. Not much point to a big tire on a Budd wheel as stud pilot wheels could never handle the weight a Dayton can at that size, but for a truck used for recreation ??? closest as far as looks

    That Davco filter isn't supposed to be full. That's how they show they're in need of replacement . The higher up you see the fuel, the dirtier the filter is and needs to be changed.

    That R in the add ???? I'd be happy to have that now in that shape .....even if the mirrors said Volvo
  20. Mark T
    Yes yes.....and I'll use that term in my deposition to Matt Cartwright as I'm out being a hero delivering "essentials" this winter right up to the point the 4.9 mil comes into the picture

    I had a truck with the same problem. Guy deleted the entire file and downloaded the same file back into it. There was something about not just clearing that code. ??? seemed to work when he did it.

    They'll be making them call black ice something else because it's offensive

    3-2 can come from vibration somewhere ( even driveline ) how's the wiring harness ?
  24. Mark T
    I just purchased 2 Continental wide base steers (HTC3 ?) they come with a sensor inside them that they tell me communicates with the vehicle (if so equipped)

    If the puff limiter works the way it should. you shouldn't have lots of smoke and it should run as well as the pump is set. Releasing the parking brake should send air to the reversing relay in the intake manifold, then from there the air is metered to the puff limiter's cylinder on the pump.....which can take a few tries to shim correctly. The reason for working from the parking brake is for full rack travel for cold starts, as an engine requires a rich mixture when it's cold ....so no air to it allows full fuel at cranking when you floor it. and on that 460, the puff limiter is called an ECM (loL)
