  1. Three inch free travel in the steering wheel isn’t enough to cause the the truck to wander back n forth,could be the tires if everything else checks out..
  2. No battery or electric needed,just push the air knob in an off she goes,the sound is awesome…
  3. Update,I sent Barry a message..
  4. Would anybody happen to have the part numbers for the two drag links on a 1996 Mack cl,20000 front axle,or where can I find Barry’s e-Mail,Thanks
  5. Just a few weeks ago my wife caught me going out with my battery operated water pick..lol after soaking the core with spray nine I used the water pick to wash it all out,worked great,u need to straighten out the fins also if there bent over,they make a comb for just that,as said above huge difference..
  6. Pull the sending unit out,measure the depth of your tank let’s say it’s 30 inches deep,set the arm and the float to when straight out its 15 inches from the bottom and top of tank_
  7. It’s nice to have an accurate fuel gauge but most drivers don’t trust them anyway,it sucks running out of fuel..
  8. I never had them on any off my trucks,all 58 rears,not sure why tho🤷‍♂️
  9. The valve shuts off the water to the heater core so u don’t sweat to death during the summer,if u have ac it’s mandatory to shut it off..
  10. Same here in Ny in fact there still bumpy after they re surface them..lol
  11. And there slowly doing away with pushing the trucks,they dump into a transfer machine that conveys the asphalt to the spreader,nothing touches the spreader and it never has to stop in-between loads,end result super smooth roads..
  12. Have a bowl of total..
  13. Also check the door hinges,try moving the door up and down when it’s open..
  14. Replace the weather strip and adjust the striker plate so the door closes tight,that will probably eliminate your rattles…
  15. The original poster has the greaseable type trunnion,there is only brass bushings for that type,you are talking about non greaseable type..
  16. It’s the only way u can,there’s no way to mount them wrong..
  17. It’s to disconnect the pto at the height u have it adjusted for so u don’t blow the seals out of the piston..
  18. Have a spotter look to see what’s moving while u slowly drive making sharp turns..🤷‍♂️
  19. With the rear mount u don’t have to put the Tran in gear with splitter In neutral ,it works in neutral and also when in gear your body will go up just as fast even if your in first gear,great for running out loads..
  20. Sounds like your good to go,good job,personally I’ve never seen anyone or shop use a torque wrench on those big nuts and I’ve seen many adjust them totally wrong,saw one shop using a big air gun to wack the inner adjusting nuts on and then same on the outer or use a chisel and a big hammer on the outer,It really pays to do stuff yourself ..
  21. Why not use a speedy sleeve,that’s what there for and u can use the same seal as without the sleeve.just asking..
  22. Rear mount pto to remote pump is your only option,get it set up right keeping the drive shaft as short as possible,still way better than a side mount..
  23. Could be the piston banging around,they always been known to make a racket..
