    I was thinking about the air bag idea. You'd need some form of a spring with enough of it to locate the axle and some form of eye and bushing in the front..... a bag (obviously) a well matched shock and probably some form of a panhard rod. There's so many things they make now compared to even ten years ago.

    Maybe some kind of fabricated adaptor in place of the rubber cap to receive the front eye ? Just a thought.

    proof a good looking truck isn't always chrome and polished metals.

    I think left hand drive was an idea of a fella named Louis S, Clark. He had some other crazy idea about a truck...... something with an "A" and car ??? IDK. I'd like to see one of the guys from down under come drive here around The Northeast with one of their trucks. ( loads like here in the states ) I'm really curious to see what their opinion of our highways are in a truck compared to The Outback. Aside from the heat and all, I'd seriously like an objective opinion. I realize they're in pretty demanding conditions , but some of our roads ?? At times, it's tough to stay to the right.

    I wonder if anyone ever attempted to put taper leaf springs in the front of a B. There's ride improvement to be found in those .

    I think the chimp has more brains (and ability) than some of the guys in trucks now.

    Probably cause it has a Cat in it. See the plate ?

    Probably needs to be rebushed. Dump trailers often used Hendrickson HT 250 air suspension , they use a tri-acting bushing. What you describe is exactly what they do when those bushings need to be replaced . That bushing does the job a torque rod would perform stopping the axle from wrapping up while braking.

    Assuming it's an air ride ???? sounds like it needs to be bushed.

    Must be the plane and the car have AC that works really well

    Volvo T Ride was at one time the most articulate suspension available . I believe it was referred to as The Gripper ?? Seems like that and the height of the double reduction carrier is a hard setup to beat ......figuratively and literally . Problem was no one wanted to be seen driving a homely Volvo back then

    Not every truck has a roof vent. It'd be directly up from the shifter on the roof. Your's may not have one.
  14. Mark T
    It's not rotted around the roof vent , is it ? Sometimes on those if you remove the plastic out on the cowl where the wiper arms are connected to their posts you get a big surprise and discover lots of the cowl itself is missing from rust. You need to find out where the water's coming in and stop it, no matter. It may have a lot to do with the light issue

    Drive line vibration can also cause that code in certain situations

    (lol) this kid needs all the help he can get

    Weren't those lights black ( or green ) in those ? Same tiny bulb in twist in base. If I remember correctly, all the screws that hold the gauge panel in the dash were #27 torx then the harness plugs had the squeeze to release tabs on them ( and only go on one way )

    I'm gonna forward this to AOC and John Kerry

    I couldn't get it to play either 😞 but FYI the one with the bullnose KW is a pretty good consolation prize

    Thanks for the link

    If it works, leave it alone ( lol )

    That's what he's talking about. Check on top of the transmission and look for something disturbed from the reverse switch issue. The sensor's plug is likely up there. It's not impossible the speedo sensor is bad as well. On occasion, those plastic ones don't live through being touched ( like as in resetting it's depth )
  23. Mark T
    The sensor's plug might be close to the reverse switch's plug. Might be from touching wires there, hard to tell without being able to see it. Did you look at it ? wiggle the plug ? unplug it and plug it back in ?
  24. Mark T
    That's it. If they were doing anything by the reverse switch ? I'd look for something like if it's unplugged (maybe someone did it by accident and didn't plug it back in ??) or pinched or green stuff in the wires. Seems odd it would just stop working at the same time.
  25. Mark T
    If there's no clutch brake on a Roadranger , doesn't that make it difficult to adjust the clutch or give it way too much travel even if the bearing is close to where it should be ?
