  1. Teslas are cheap... just get e few of them....
  2. I assume you ran the knob back and forth??
  3. So our gas and oil hating Electric Car King, used Air Force One, to fly 72 miles to Hagerstown Maryland.. The airplane used 3,866 Pounds of fuel. Wouldnt his tesla got him there and back on 'half a charge', for about $5.00... Happy Sunday Guy's... Jojo
  4. Is the number not cast into the hub?
  5. after I pulled the other one out and saw the rust in that one, I figured I would order the new ones. I was not able to find re-build kits for these old cylinders. I could use a grease gun to get one of them apart, but the second one is really bad.. its unfortunate.. I really hoped to clean them and re-build them...
  6. it looks great... jojo
  7. Well, I looked for other wheel cyl's for my '48... no luck.. I bought the new production set... $363.00 w/shipping.. I didnt mind buying it because my BOSS said..... and I quote..... use my Pay Pal acct. so after I came too, I ordered them... jojo
  8. Looks like a 13 spd. to me too.. sunlight faded the red button. 8LL would be blue,,, 18 , gray.. I wish I was close enough to go look at it... I just want to see this truck that is unusual to me... jojo
  9. Just curious,,,. What repairs have been done tothe truck right before this issue occured?
  10. I believe E-Tech is correct. I'm hoping it's a loose ground or something simple like that..
  11. looks like budd wheels on the front, i assume budd's on the rear,,, certainly not spokes with aluminum rims.. I would be curious if there is a seem where it was married to a back half? Its a cool truck... Just my 2 cent's... Jojo
  12. I thought it was from an international with Eaton rears, and the aluminum rims are modern,, didnt see if they were budd's or hub piloted.. i'll look again.. The truck is still cool.. but I think its a Mongrel... sorry, dont know how to spell Mongrel..... jojo
  13. I just edited my first post, I typed on my phone and saw that some of what I typed didnt post.. "F" has great approaches to diagnose these issues... Pay attention... Jojo
  14. Check the acc. Relay behind the dash,. It looks like a starter relay. You may have a relay next to the fuse panel on the right side, it looks like a cube, if so, swap one of the others with it to see if the issue is still there, also clean the grounds in the dash, there is one next to the fuse panel, and behind the cluster, to the left.. there are other grounds outside too. Let us know how this goes..
  15. Hey there... you are responding to a 3 year old post.. Please post the make, year, eng series, tranny, and the issue you are having
  16. I soak up all of what you have to offer... Luv U Bob... jojo
  17. Yes to all.. It came off the backing plate just fine.. I just have to remove the small piston that pushes the rear shoe.. I already honed the cyls and they are actualy clean. . once I get the other piston out I will know better.. I havent found kits yet, so I will just use the sizes for each rubber cup. I think I can make this happen, of course, I dont have the left side out yet, but.... It's all good.. Thank's, Bob.. jojo
  18. Amen ! My Brother...
  19. That was F'n AWESOME !!!!!! I'll bring the beer...... jojo
  20. So I tried to take the wheel cyl. apart, I had to tap threads into one of the pistons and pull it using a homemade puller.. The washer is a Mack rear engine mount washer.. I have a small stack of those suckers.. now to find a rebuild kit.. im on a very tight budget, so I need to go easy... if I can get the brakes to work, I will be happy. I actually intend on driving it around town often, so hopefully, they wont rust up and freeze again..
  21. Yeah, Kind'a... But.... What I learned here after 2 and a half years, is that we are a bunch of great guys that take this seriously, and help AS A TEAM... And then we tell really cool stories, sparked by the topic at hand.. To me it's like sittin around a camp fire, havin some cold ones and bein BUD'S talkin about the trucks we LOVE/HATE... Just my Opinion.. and I like it...... Jojo
  22. I literally, rotate my gas from the house generator to the mower and shop generator. I keep some in the house Genny with stabil. Then after a while I drain it into a can for the mower. I don't leave the house Genny empty, because we have a lot of Crack Heads in my area, and they drive off the road and take out utility poles.. I lose power several times a year.. :).
  23. I'm like you DCW.. I wish I could be there. I would like to drive it.. of course I will be laughed at, when the owner sees me double clutch.. jojo
  24. Good luck Laser.. Keep in touch. 2nd -3rd, is the same gear position 6th-7th. I would expect it to act up on both sides if there is an internal issue. Also, crazy question... Any chance you were driving an Eaton tranny and now your in a Mack? Jojo
  25. Hey Duck, My guy charged me $200.00 to add the plug and quality wire, and the weatherproof box..... Just tossin that out there...
