Used the truck for a Photo Prop. Stockman Hill Dr, Northern edge of Kingman city limits.

While heading to AZ last week the A/C started blowing just cooler than outside air. Checked before adding any 134 and the pressure gauge was pegged RED. We bled off a lot of pressure and brought it back up into the safe zone. Blows cold now, not just cooler than scorching. Currently at El Mirage...

Welcome to the site, good luck, enjoy the project and above all else, have fun. Budget has everything to do with a project. Some members here are really good about suggesting courses of action that they don't have to pay for. My guess is that ak diesel driver just desired to keep things real...

Glad to host you for a change. Sure is a happy truck and don’t we all have “just a couple of things” on the punch list? Good to hear you’re safely in MT. Enjoy the time together with the spousal unit.

RE: Emblem on front fender… Air Vent louvre for the fenders from Run Cool. Used to have hood louvres too but, that hood died from a lack of common sense. After a paint job, I’ll put them back on the replacement hood.

BigT and I used our trucks for a great photo op at the end of a short GTG at my place. He’s north bound to the homestead in MT now. Happy Father’s Day all.

Pure Flow Air Dog makes the Raptor pumps (technically AirDog Raptor) as well as the ‘AirDogII’ units. AirDogII’s are “Flow on Fail” as are OEM lift pumps (been there, done that unfortunately). From what I’ve read, the Raptors are not. Can’t speak for FASS. Raptor Pumps do not have their own...

Yes, On the way.

I have the manual as a 6.4 mb PDF. Too large to post here but I’ll happily email it to anyone on request.

When I busted the mounts on my first front differential (long story, don't ask) I took it to a Semi Truck Trailer Repair facility and they welded it back up. Cost about $150 though. Most likely because of the joy Will L. just described. Pity. I have another F lower that got an ear busted off...

Red Tag = Stanadyne Rebuild. Blue = Original Manufacture

With the door panel removed, now is a good time to go over the locking rods while you access inside the door. Get the gack off where it’s accumulated in the guides using solvents and steel wool/abrasive pads then, relubricate with silicone. Should help with the power locks you had mentioned...

I ordered a replacement OBD2 connector off the Vetronix web page. https://www.vetronix.com/ currently $18 plus shipping. You may need to call or email them as I just did a search on their page and, foot in mouth/keyboard, didn't see the OBD1. [email protected]

OBD-1 Adaptor was included with the kit I purchased and can be ordered separately from the company.

Loaded up the truck with a few things to head down to El Mirage for the first 2025 SCTA land speed racing event. Clothing and other spares along with recovery tools were in the cab. I don't have the engine details or I'd post more details in the 'Other Diesels' forum but, the LSR I crew chief...
