ok.. I was hoping it was already plumbed and you were making it new.. I havent done enough of them to describe the procedure without the instructions or air line diagram.. I'm sorry, Ricky..

Yeah, probably... with a sewing needle, you can tighten them up.. this is a picture 8-9 code, from my V-Mac book..

are you saying you probed the eecu ends with something larger than a small paper clip? Most folks dont have back up probe kits, so the smallest paper clip in the office will work.. Do you have the pin I.D. for the eecu connectors? it is printed on the wire also. It will tell you where to go, from one end to the other..

yes, I wish I had a picture of my set-up.. I answer this question every month or so... jojo

are you adding a red button to the dash? or is one already there?

I bet that truck cruise's really good.. Good power, O.D. tranny, and 3.90's... jojo

Yes I remember.. I was one of them when I was in High School... Frank's Garage, in Gray Maine.. Right in the center of town..

Well, all I know is, I love racist and sexist food.. Marinated 'White' meat Breasts taste great!! Especially when they are covered in a hand made 'Rub'.. just say'in....

I like the Gavin Newsome one.. Its correct..

Well now we know it's not Mack Rears😉

Ok.. that makes sense. Open the hood and look under the cab. You will see a dozen air lines going to the treadle valve and such.

The gray wires in the truck are the grounds.. have a look at those.. on the firewall is a 'pass through' check it out.. Good luck . The other 2 guys that posted comments are Brilliant,. You are in good hands.. jojo

If you clean the smooth curved area next to the input, on the front right, you will expose all the info and part numbers about the carrier . Using the VIN can work, as long as the rears are original. The stamping will likely be a bunch of dots punched into the housing to spell out letters and numbers.. (Mack Rears)..

It is directly under the brake pedal. It is hard to get to without pulling the floor pan. What is the issue? Jojo

Good point Glenn.. I re-built (3) 3179DF John Deere engines last year. They were used in job site water trucks. They too, were a diesel power plant that could be used in many ways.. jojo

Well put,,, fjh.. jojo

Bob, I was thinking about the labor I put into fixing my Yota.. I gave it hell last saturday, and then an hour or 2 after work 3 times, and then yesterday was about 3 hours or so.. I guess I really only have about 15-20 hours in it.. It was also the worst cancer that I have fixed on it.. It's all good... With the price of used trucks today, I am just fine with what I did.. It's a releif knowing that is safe to drive.. Thanks again Bud,, Jojo

Either way,,, It will be a good game.. Heck I'm excited to watch todays games...

and then in 2 weeks Andy Ried will beat his old team..

Bob, I'm gonna keep fixing it.. I can pull the bed off in less than 30 minutes, and I dont have to pull the fuel tank in the future, because all of the frame on that side is new luckily , the frame under the cab and to the front is in really good shape.. Enjoy the Snow.. Jojo

Yes Mecho, It is a 115 A/C lincoln,, SP 135.. it is 22 years old.. It can accept a gas bottle, I just dont have one.. $175.00 to get a filled bottle.. Its an OK welder, but for some reason the wire feed sucks.. It will feed good and do a good job at times, and then, as you can see in the picture, some of welds look like a row of single beads.. That is what happens when the wire doesnt feed good.. I was laying on my side trying to weld this, but I couldnt see my bead as I welded.. I ended up taking my helmet off to get closer, and closing my eyes when i struck an arc. My face was sunburned the next day .. So,back to the question.. If you are working with 3/16" and thinner, I think you will like it. However, the flux core wire splatters a lot. I have done quite a bit of body panel repairs with it and they came out pretty good for a self taught glue gun operator

That great too. Yes to Yota parts,, there are a couple shops around here that love to modify them.. In my case, its a daily driver and gets descent mileage, compared to all of my other trucks.. I only have a small amount invested.. basically wire for the welder, and I did buy a small LED spot light for $35.00.. So all in.. I have a bout $50.00 invested.. the metal was free, came from a job site scrap pile.. Oh yeah, I did use up (1) 4 1/2" grinder wheel.. jojo

Thats awesome FJH, Yeah, i dont have any ford frames, I still kick myself for not buying a new frame years ago, when I was making good money. They were just over $2300,00.. Now they are ove $3,000.00.. Maybe I will find a Yota with crash damage or blown engine for a cheap price and do a swap.. I have had this truck for 22 years and I'm not ready to feed it to the crusher..

Yeah, I'm no fan of those trucks with centrifugal clutches.. hard to hold the RPM's at 900 with my foot while trying to creep into the shop, or up on big truck ramps.. I remember many years ago, having to transport Macks that had an Eaton auto shift tranny, with a clutch pedal.. that was weird. I remember stalling them a few times.. I was confused by not have to move a shifter..

Yes MACKS, it is bad.. many years of winter driving in Maine, really sped up the cancer.. I have fixed other spots 2 times, this is #3.. I put pictures back up so you can see what I have going on.. It was really hard to get a good weld on it, given the tight area and my welder is small, and gasless... Its not pretty, but she doesnt make cracking noises when driving anymore..
