I want add a passenger-side cab vent. Has anyone tried these Dorman cab door vent assemblies for size? There are dimensions, but not for the just the door. At $65+ they are not cheap, but easier than making one. Or, does anyone have a cab vent door to sell?

Finally got around to setting preload on the rear bearings. From the Mack Brakes manual: While turning drum/wheel preload adjusting nut to 200 lb-ft. - yes, 200 lb-ft! Back off nut one full-turn While turning drum/wheel tighten adjusting nut to 50 lb-ft. If you can, check for at least 0.001 in/out movement of drum/wheel If the pin on the nut does not align with a hole in the anti-rotate-washer thing, loosen the nut until it aligns Tighten the lock-nut to 300-400 lb-ft.

I've been finding a lot of fine-thread nuts, bolts, screws... at AMK Products https://www.amkproducts.com Once you figure out their catalog system(s), they are great - start looking in BULK. Good prices too. Door Jamb Bolts.pdf

The pre-load is surprisingly high, 100+ ft-lb. I'll be doing mine in a few weeks so I can update this post. Don't forget to check the axle tube wear surface. https://www.flickr.com/photos/emack/albums/72157685006281336

I won't be using my glove box hinges - they're bent to hell, but workable. I'm replacing the glove box door, hinges, and "glove box". I haven't cut them out yet: probably in January. Are you still interested, and what parts do you need?

Umm, this is what I read. Not sure what you're referring to?

If you'd listen and watch something besides Faux News and Sean Hannity you'll be surprised at what you can learn. But hang on tight because it will rock you boat.

I said it before and I'll say it again: What a bunch of cry babies.

I would also like to replace my 17QJ3186 brake drums. Did you ever find aftermarket replacements?

Wow. What is all the crying about? We control: The White House The Senate The House of Representatives The Supreme Court 34 State Governorships Wall Street We're: Killing the unions Suppressing voting rights of undesirables Creating segregated schools and neighborhoods Deporting low-wage workers Building a wall paid by Mexico Draining the Swamp Hillary is jail We've won the wars in the middle-east We'll be bombing North Korea out of existence Healthcare is finally fixed Tax reform will give us thousands of dollars We're again respected around the world Our leader is too busy working to play golf Could it get any better?

If you want to vent your political views, do it somewhere else. Or am I infringing on your freedom of speech? Just like you're trying to do with NFL players protesting. Comedian Chris Rock said it best "... no white man in America would change places with me. And I'm rich." Veterans did not fight and die so that everyone had to bow to the whims of our dickhead-in-chief... that behavior is for North Korea. Or is that the behavior you expect from freedom loving Americans? Or do you simply hate our Constitution?

How come none of this stuff is down here in Florida? Every time I want something it's in the NE and costs a bucket of money to ship.
