I understand new fasteners are the way to go impacts heat them up and sometimes u bolts get hot just wrenching. I however have seen idiots in trucks that it would not matter if you replaced every bolt daily they would still break them!

I would like to add to rep, is there a minimum post count before actually helping someones rep? If so I will be posting before repping

It feels more stable then thats what I am after. Mine feels too top heavy going in turns, of course the grapple is heavy so; it actually is lol. I am wondering if I can break it loose with my cheater too! I am going to call the spring shop and see if they have done enough of them to give me a worst and best scenario; knowing that they at least will be changing insulators!

Yeah it is going in between filter and turbo I will get a filter kit soon. Good waterline flow!

Thanks I would rep you but I am neutral is it 50 posts before you add rep? I either have the two piece or one piece cause I don't have a cap like the bronze! I will probably get the red aftermarket insulator pads I know they cost a lot more but if the are similar to the radius arm bushings like on my ford its worth it doing it once! Not a mack but I like my lil one ton dump

Lol thats bad arse looks just like my old r but it was a little rough ride though

Thanks I think the actual trunnions are ok But I can't find a grease sert. I could buy a big torque wrench I usually use a six foot cheater and 1 inch drive breakover for my heavy stuff and get all I can get bouncing lol. I may just get it done at the spring shop but would like to have an understanding of the process. We have a good spring shop, wander how much it will hurt my pocket?

I want to thank you guys I have it going right again. I even replaced the broken emblems and going to rework the cap with a fiberglass repair kit then shoot some paint will post pics when I do.It has a hard life especially before I bought it all body damage done by prior owners! Anyway this is what it does for me!

What will normal re-bush cost if done in a shop verses done at home? And how much better does the truck Handel afterward? Guess should include 81 mack camelback!

Lol I am just a wimp and that dern thing was heavy but I got it in and oil line too thanks to ya'all I searched and learned how many thanks to you guys for sharing

Thanks I searched it last night and came up with the same thought that oil fouled the button. No drier I will replace the chamber and brake button and hope that gets it. Thanks oh do you know the torque on the insulator bolts spring pads? I am going to replace them too!

Yes I know and plan to by weeks end. The truck is out of service until I get it all right I managed to limp home from a job but immediately started looking for the problems. I am trying to figure out why the brake button wont pop off when air gets below 25psi and was wondering if it could be this chamber also causing that. If not I was hoping to learn what was doing it, so; when I take the core back to the dealer, I could pick the chamber and whatever is not automatically setting spring brake at low air! What triggers the park brake button to pop out at low air?

Lol in 29 years I will be happy if I am still alive. I did not have park brake set with them set air builds a little faster but not as fast as I thought a new compressor should! I get conflicting time amounts to build full air in pretrip info does this truck need to make full air in 3 minutes or 60 seconds? The spring brake does not set at 25 psi could that be the chamber as it is on the spring brake chamber? Thanks in advance this truck is my labor savor so I need it up and running!
