I'm not as good on these as I want to be, but the few that I did, I would bring the #1 piston to TDC and make sure im up on #1 by looking at the #2 exh. rocker arm. it will be 'rocked'.. then I check the timing marks and grab a paint pen and start highlighting the marks. as far as the injection pump gear, I match mark the gear to the pump drive gear on the cam gear, and then match mark 2 opposite pump gear bolts to the slot they are in. I mark one on the inside of the pump gear and the other on the outside on the pump gear so I dont get up+down confused.. I tend to make more marks than needed. make a match mark on the crank gear and the engine block, just in case the crank turns.. I hope Mechohaulic gets in on this one.. He's OLD!! I mean Really OLD !!! LIke Cranky OLD... and knows these engines much better than me.. He is a wealth of knowledge, Glenn Akers was called home this year, he would have been a great one to learn from too.. So your stuck with Mech.... and a few others.. jojo

Were gonna get the band back together boy's...

Well,, Hello there stranger......

I swear I worked on some MR's and LE's with an air throttle.. I just figured it was a cab over thing.. However, I am away from those trucks for many years now...

Where's Onyx?? Vmac and Mackpro probably know how to approach this one.. and then you add FJH... and well...... It's fixed..

🤔

Pull the cluster, and look over to the left on the cab frame. You should see a few black wires. Remove the star washer and throw it away, then clean the paint off the frame, and trim any extra heat shrink glue off the eyelets.. there is another set of grounds below the fuse panel on the right side.. CL's are great trucks...

Check the output yoke. See if it's loose..

Do you have an air powered throttle?

Thanks TJC,, It actually was delicious.. I poured my wifes country baked beans with onions over it and ate more than I should have.. I also packed one for my lunch tomorrow at work.. just sayin'....

Well I just pulled the shoulder off the cooker.. It looks good from my view.. it's resting on the stove right now... 170 when I pulled it, figure it will keep cooking and be tender when eatin' time comes.. 🤞 ok time to put the foil cover back on..

can you clean the old seal and post a picture of it and the seal number??? If I can get info I will post it for you.. Hell, i'll buy the seals and send them to you..

ok.. there wont be a dowel hole.. I have seen them on later models.. just do like your doin' take measurements. do you have an ''Allied bearing co.'' near you.. If you have the old seal, there should be a part number on it.. Allied is pretty good at getting seals. I just re-built a ''Roots'' blower, and they were able to get the seals I needed....

do you mean the steer axle??? What year model? If it's the steer axle, there is a dowel pin hole in the spindle to secure the inner wear ring.. no biggie, just see if it's there. jojo

Hell Yeah!!! when I learn how to get a good slow rolling bed of coals I will cook some Babybacks.. I have 2 racks in the freezer..

I figured it was a bit of babysittin' and yes to ugly stuff in the yard.. I won't bore us with more pics of my stuff, ,, well maybe 1 more.. redneck tool.. This is my motor grader... homemade 9' blade... I have actually cleared snow off my street with it, up until a neighbor bitched because I made a winrow in front of his rental house... it was less than a foot tall..

How the Hell does Hunter Biden have a T.V. Show on Newsnation?? Or anywhere

Trust me... It has rained here all weekend and yes to muddy yard.. I had to pull a Granite Tri-X out yesterday when my customer picked it up... All I could hear in my head was,,, MY Wife.. Your tearing up the yard!!!! anyway, There should be numbers cast into the body of the steering box. Can you clean them up and post picture's? I'm not trying to make it sound easy, but as you know, there are guys on here that are 'Super Smart'...

She's my favorite 'Rocker Chick'..

Bob, did you try to find the part number with the V.I.N.? it may point you towards a parts kit, or a new production unit.. Just curious.. jojo

Thats Cool MACKS.. isn't Pat Benetar from that area, or was is Wauntaug?? My family took me to Vermont in '81,, 7th grade, then to Maine when Dad found a house and got his transfer with Delta Airlines to Portland Maine.. ( no, not a Pilot) we were low class )..

Sat. Radio??

That smoker is awesome!! and Redneck as Hell... I havent cooked over a wood fire in many years.. So I'm new at it again. I do have back-up cooker in case this gets away from me.. and yes.... I got the fire going, and it starts raining... I think it may help a bit, with the fire.. I hope to create great looking meats like you do Tom.. Hope you are having a good weekend, say Hello to Ms. Zina... Jojo

That is awesome.. I just lit my homemade wood cooker.. I have a shoulder all seasoned up. Now if the rain will just go away..
