    Brake issues 98

    Thanks for the correction, Ferm. I remember having to do that to an old truck I had, didn't know if it had stayed the same into the future models. I suggested it because it didn't cost anything to try. Sorry for the dumb suggestion, Simon.

    Brake issues 98

    Simple and cheap first, Simon. Humour me. I forgot about the old valves. I bet your pro portioning valve is locked out (segmented sustem). It can happen when you get a leak, blown line, or just excessive travel in the rears. There is a toggle that locks out front or back in brake loss...

    Finally starting my own ATT swap

    Yep. Lots you can do to prevent warping. Depends on how diligent you want to be, and how much time you want to take. As you say though, milling the mating surfaces and using a medium-density gasket interface might be easier.

    Finally starting my own ATT swap

    Wood baseplate.. I remember that one well! Made me ROFL. All humour aside, you have to admire the ingenuity we see around here, in pursuit of a better mousetrap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_GOmDQ_LXE

    New drilling rig. We start 2mro

    Nice rig, Tanner! I've always liked Versatiles. Lots of the guys in my area have gone this way - for the same reasons. JD seems to be thinking that farmers will buy green because ... uh ... well, just because. Then they thought the farmers would be sorry and would come back to JD with...

    Who has the best chip?

    You're saying that the HT chip is responsible for needing to replace your heads? For the third time? Not sure about the reasoning behind this thought; does the HT chip push your EGTs through the roof? If it's over-fuelling, I might look to the TM or the turbo first, to increase the airflow...

    Thought you might enjoy this video, Vinnie - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-oPWO_C1rT34/worlds_biggest_mower_hill_climbing/ Yep - It's another Claas. I really, really need one of these to cut my lawn. :D

    1996 Suburban no boost?!?

    Won't make any difference, if you have taken off the vacuum system and put on a turbomaster. That's a fix for factory systems.

    Rebuilding of a Truck Camper

    Good pics, Marty ... you gotta get it all and find out what caused it. Yep, you found it. I suspect though, that the rot keeps going down. Do you have a leak up on the roof or somewhere that can trail into that corner? Water can do some strange stuff once it gets in behind the metal...

    Turning an "S" into an "F"

    Yeah, but not as much fun. Good job on removing that crap; it takes time to do it right.
