or he may have been rolling down the road minding his own business and the car ran a stop rite in front of the truck, with the driver steering left to keep from loosing control until it stopped.

when i do rad repairs like that i first clean the tubes to be soldered REAL GOOD. then crimp the tube off. lastly apply a good dose of flux, then finally solder it.

Here is a picture of the oil level in a side mount tank. As you can see, it is about. 5 inches below top of tank

Good starting strategy Joey. 👍

If I tried drinking a Six pack in one night now, I would probably be sick in bed for a week!

regular hydraulic oil is all we use. but on pistons with a leaking packing gland like the dump trailer, i will add a few gallons of 10-40 engine oil. the engine oil tends to slow down the leaking. but it is no good in winter unless the oil is warmed up before trying to lift the body.

with full piston extension you should still have 2-3 gallons in the tank. but it is not measured at full extension, it is measured full piston collapse. all the way down i like to keep the tank about 4-5 inches from the top.

even with the body down i can easily see the oil level tube on my new truck..... once they get older it is kind of hard to see oil level in the tube though. the 2005 had a door in the top of the piston housing to access the air bleeder valve on top of the piston, and also to access the tank fill. that was on a J&J body.

depending on the manufacturer of the body, but for a tank on frame between cab and body there should be a plastic or glass tube on front of the tank. but basically put, if the piston goes all the way up without chatter there is enough oil in the tank. if you put too much in the tank, it will blow out the vent when body is lowered all the way down. when i add oil to a low system, i add one gallon at a time until piston chatter goes away and body goes all the way up. then add 1 more gallon.

they already have. i saw this morning they are already down 100 million since the "go woke" started.

not looking like an azz at all Paul. i have no idea what they are talking about either.

ok.....das racist!!!!!! but only because it is the truth.

why wait for the 300? i bet the 237 will be happy with that trans too.

we had a 66 crackerbox 85 foot aerial ladder, with 750 gallon water tank,1000GPM pump, and a full compliment of ladders. it was ordered with the V12 gas engine. by the time they got around to building it the V-12 was discontinued and they put in an 837 magnum. that thing was the biggest turd i ever drove. by the time they got rid of it in 85, it had only racked up 16,000 miles. if you had to go north of the firehouse, you had to go west 1 mile and then northeast to get to the other side of the big hill 1/8 mile from the firehouse. the truck would not climb the hill, even in first gear low gear in the two speed rear. and it only had a 55 mph top speed. it was donated to a fire company in new mexico or arizona, it took them 3 weeks to drive it out there.

Correct you are. Half of the engine was in the cab.
