  1. If the ones for it aren't available anymore, it almost looks like Peterbilt ones might not be impossible to retro on there. Like from a 367 or 365.
  2. They're only around the diameter of the average valve springs. Wound tighter and a couple feet long. They stretch out almost twice of their relaxed length.. some have a long hooked piece that adds to the length instead of all spring .
  3. They're lift assist for the most part. Gotta think about it a second where they'd be if the hood was closed. They n=may not look like much, but when they're in good shape they make the hood a lot easier to open and close. When they're worn out or missing ( as sometimes the hook wears through or they break ) you almost need two people to open the hood, or close it without a hard landing.
  4. I thought the furniture truck was a single axle. 🤔 Those two rear ends look perfectly fine 😏
  5. That's quite the video, thanks for posting.

    Hurt ?
  8. I was taking a steering axle out of a Western Star. To replace it with the one I ordered next day air the day before.
  9. Might be draglines around an operation like that. I know I'd like to see more of whatever is there
  10. This truck was working in Pennsylvania not very long ago. I wanna say a woman drove it.
  11. Looks like maybe someone tapped into the same fitting on the manifold for a manifold pressure gauge (?) . Try explaining that leak to a DOT guy in 2025 🤔
  12. There's a couple different types
  13. And then there was that Hanson fella......
  14. It gets air when you release the parking brakes, then meters air to the puff limiter on the injection pump in relation to manifold pressure.
  15. I think there's a story about that too. Like Diamond T made the Jrs
  16. Reversing relay for the puff limiter.

    Just curious, what was the fate of the instructor ? I'm guessing it didn't end well for him.

    If only there was some way to play those couple of notes from Jackass right now
  21. Gives me a kinda good feeling 🤗
  22. Probably conicals in it. Just a guess.
  23. IDK that I'd be just running out replacing injectors, but it'd be a likely spot to get more involved with looking for the problem. Then there's the wiring harness, that sometimes doesn't live through it all. Like F said, it can get expensive.
