    I'm most likely having the wrong visual in my mind of the hat you refer to. pimp'n ain't easy

    Grounds (or lack of) can do odd things on an older truck. Not saying it's the problem, but it's an easy thing to rule out.

    Newer RDs like Joey's talking about at that plug behind the thermostat a blow gun across it with the plug out will help suck the coolant up in there too. Just for giggles, may want to try a wire with a couple alligator clips from engine to frame or cab to frame to make sure you're grounded.

    Get'n older sucks. It's humbling realize'n things don't work like they used to, let alone all the extra surprises here and there.

    Xorust with a foam hotdog roller comes out better than you'd think it would. It's not like a nice spray job, but I've done it to a couple dump bodies. They came out presentable. Around here, there was an auto refinisher supply place. They could make you a spray (can) of whatever color. Maybe a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP is the way for you to go on this one.

    For what they do ? you'd think they would've been easier to get at. Depending what you're working around, they may only last a short time.

    🤷‍♂️ might be all that's wrong with it. (lol) my previous suggestion about it wasn't replied to either. Fairly common on those.

    Foam hotdog roller works better than comes to mind for something like that. Very close to as if it was sprayed.

    Has anyone checked the blue filter in the cab ? The one that looks like a big Scotchbrite ? They're a pain in the a$$ to get to and often overlooked. If it's dirty, no AC.
  14. Mark T
    Check the filter.
  15. Mark T
    Never hurts to change the filter. That little switch in by the controller knobs likes to give up too.

    I heard rachel volunteered to give him daily prostate exams. or at least split them up with mayor pete.

    That looks a lot like the FB video I saw.

    CL and Superliner 2 shared some frame components. Steer axle ?? It's seem like if the center bolt holes are the same, the only thing would be making sure the levers for the tie rod were the same ( if you were going to use them ) as changing those could mess up the ackerman angles.

    Spicer had those 16 and 12s or even the older 4 ways had the air cylinders and controller on the shifter. They were a real treat in an older truck . Nothing like dust and oil for clevises and pins. 8000 series I think. If you had one that was "married" they were around 4 or 5 feet overall length.
  20. Mark T
    Old 8000 series. Seems back that early it would've had two sticks. Later ones ( like an 8716 or 8512 ) had an air control that resembled one on a 12 speed and if I remember correctly were usually blue (?) I remember someone seemed to think they were a great transmission....if you were a guy who fixed transmissions for a living.
  21. Mark T
    So I did some googling myself. There was indeed a 12 speed Volvo with what appears to be two switches. Problem I had was the Facebook video I found ??? was a guy in Zimbabwe. I have no clue what he was saying, but .... 🤔 Zim Bob way Mowerman..... Bob 🤔 hmmm

    What a handsome truck. Not much brightwork on it and still looks fantastic.

    🤔 so that's what a B & B is......Who knew
  24. Mark T
    That's a nice truck. Looking at it's picture, does that have an aluminum frame ?

    I've never had a burrito. 😕 I've had a sheltered life
