yup, i just looked at it again.. your right tjc... as usual...

it's a '62 Ford Camaro, probably had a 318 slant-6 in it..

God Bless you both.. I'm going to try to get in better shape this year, I pulled my canoe out of the back corner and fixed it up.. along with some fishing poles.. figure I can mix a nice day on the water with some excersize.. Ooopps.. I'm sidetracking again..

Looks like theres a couple good door handles and a key hole, and maybe a vent window frame.. Maybe a good door stricker and lock mechanism,,, so lets be nice... she's a beaut..

👍 Good Morning Bob

I hope these pictures help you.. I clearly forgot that tranny has an internal range cylinder.. I was thinking about some 300 series tranny's.

I seem to be at a loss, outside of a bad oring or swapped lines. Im going to get the book and see if there is a plumbing picture that I can post for you..

So I was curious about this headlight topic.. Yes TJC, LED headlights are legal.. The D.O.T./N.T.S.B. says that any headlight can be no brighter than 3000 Lumens.. I figured I would post this, in case someone needs the info before converting their truck.. Jojo

did the original shift knob have a blue range button? That is a 2070 shift knob in the picture. I forget if there is a different knob for the 2090.. I will go to my book tomorrow morning and try to find the trouble shooting guide.. Jojo

seems odd, I assume you hooked the spaghetti lines up to the knob correctly? when you replaced the shuttle valve, did you inspect the little plunger for wear? I forgot to ask... will it range shift? Damn, I'm getting rusty.... I need to hit the books..

Ok Bullheaded... Im not in touch with the new stuff like I used to be.. 👍

many of these Xenon HID bulbs have little electric fans on them to keep them cool.. OEM bulbs for new cars can be around $100.00 + each..

are you guys sure that they are not HID headlights.. either way... very bright...

the air cylinder at the top of the rear case will cause this air leak. you can check it by removing one of the lines to see if air is by-passing.. Replacing the orings and gasket is easy. you do have to remove the top cover on the rear case in order to remove the yoke bolt, then the whole unit pulls out of the rear case, and you can re-ring it on the bench.. it is reccomended to replace the yoke bolt, of course you can put some patch lock on it and put it back if the end of it is not deformed.. jojo

This is what we have around here.. I guess it's "Multi-lingual" jojo

Yep... I get it..too... when a truck comes in the shop 'Hot' and has to go right out, no dicken around,, sometimes it just get's 10 seconds of pumping and out the door.. kinda like a whore...

Macks.. I would think in a perfect world, it woud be ok.. But, when I started to fix these Dogs 23 years ago, We only put grease in them.. grease is nothing more than oil and a thickener.. Im sure you have seen the back side of a saddle when the truck is sitting, and the lower edge of the saddle is right up to the flange on the trunnion tube. Which means the brass bushing is worn and the trunnion bar is flattened on the bottom. My point here is... how could oil stay in there? the rubber seal is just pushed in by hand, so it's not a press fit.. anyway.. with all the postings on this... to me ... none of us is wrong or not knowing... I'm just happy that there are this many guys that actually grease the trunnions.. and coversations like this will help someone get more life out of their camel back suspension.. jojo

What year is that book MACKS? I like it, and hadnt seen that info before... Thanks,, jojo

yes Master welder.. Grade 8 SAE, or 10.9 Metric. The frame bolts are Huck Bolts,, Very strong.. jojo

TJC. I'm pretty sure LED headlights are illegal. I worked at Orielly's 3 years ago, and we sold LED bulbs, but not advertised as "On-Road" head lights,, Off road only.. The interweb is where these lights come from.. way too bright for on-coming traffic.. In my opinion.. and Bob, here in N.C. we have the new age 'Country Boy' who is driving a pick up that is 6 feet tall and has LED light bars on it.. When I drive the country roads and one comes up on me, all I can do is slow down a bit and look down to the right at the white line to maintain my lane, because I cant see straight out the windshield. jojo

I just paid $41.00 for a case of Orielly brake clean.. (12 cans) $75.00 for a case of SAE 30 (12 cans)... All of my paycheck goes to home and auto maintainance. I can not imagine trying to start a trucking company today.. Seems to me, If you want to make a million in trucking,,, start out with 2 million...

I had to LQQK..... Holy crap.. I couldnt beleive my eyes.. those prices are crazy.. How the hell does anyone make a living running a quarter million dollar truck that breaks down every few month due to expensive exhaust system issues..? I am surely out of touch on this one.. jojo

I have to think on this one.. Do you have access to P.T.T.? if so, I recommend a throttle re-calibration. any chance you have another truck like it, so you can swap the throttle pedal to see if it changes? There should be a few others coming along to help you with this one.. Lots of smart guys here. jojo

do you have a 5-1 or 5-2 code? How high does it go up, and does it stop? Has any work been done latley.. Is there dirt jammed into the wheel under the pedal? That is the throttle position sensor. jojo

I have seen that, and was told (When I was New at this) to remove the one in the cap and put the bleeder in.. I guess the good thing is that we are all aware that they are there so that means we WERE greasing them..
