Im always a fan of Camel Back, Hendrickson Walking beam and HN.. I found the HN to be easy to repair, done a bunch on trash trucks..
-
I know.. heck it was $2.59 before the Iran attack. Sheetz 88 octane was $2.39
-
$3.19 here in central N.C.

Freightrain?? I think mark was being a smarty pants...

I pray for the owners of that set up.. repair costs will be insane... the Huck bolts cost alone would break a man with limited funds to fix this truck, because he would be recooperating from the other costs from the exhaust systems and all 500 computers that will fail.. (500 is an exageration for entertainment purposes only) but... you know what i mean..

It is unfortunate.. I really thought she would last a long time. Hopefully Mr. Mullin will do a good job.

Twin stick ? -
is it like K.W.'s 8 bag system?
-
does Joseph pick up your parts and run off with them. One of mine did that up til a couple years ago.
-
By the way. there should be a triangular cut out inside the bearing cover. that is to point down. its an oil drain.. 🍻
-
I knew exactly what you meant when you posted.. Thats a funny scene...
-
I wish they would have put jack screw holes in the bearing cover. Ive done a bunch of these. Just for kicks, take the small cover bolts out and use a 5 pound dead blow on the end of the shaft. The backlash will losen the cover. Yes some patience is needed and whatch out for hitting the bell housing with your knuckles..
-
Yes it is.. I kept it clean for the children..
-
When the small cover is off, you can strike the end of the input shaft with a dead blow, and the bearing will walk out enough to get behind it.
-
Looks like Larry is doing really good work. His attention to detail is really good. 👌
-
That little bit of spline wear shouldnt cause the clutch to drag. Removing the input shaft is easier with the bell housing off. But then you will need a new gasket. It should be fine like it is.
-
Thats because a lot of drivers do not understand the 3 stages of the clutch pedal.. as a driver trainer, i spend a good bit of time explaining the 3 stages. As to be expected, new truck drivers slam the clutch to the floor as if they are driving a car. It takes them a bit to understand how to use the middle part of the clutch stroke for double clutching...
-
Yes, that is the reason I posted that example.. it is more forgiving then the solid types..
-
Perfect, 2" one piece clutch brake please.. 🍻
-
I was just thinking the same thing Mark... since 1979 the Iranian mullahs have killed thousands of Americans.. Some on here are dead set against President Trump.. Sad...
-
Yep that works too. Either way there will a little spill..

Paul. The air enters when there is a failure in the system, or simply when refilling the system after a repair. If an impellar is worn and cavitation is present the lack of coolant flow causes an overheat condition. Then water is boiled out and through the world of magic, air fills the void.. Im bluffing on that last part... I rekon the rad cap can introduce air into the system if it is in poor condition. When the system cools it creates suction, so I would think any loose fittings will allow air to be sucked in... Then again... what do I know? Im just a head scratchin kinda guy...
