    Big Truck Tranny Coolers

    Assuming your truck is running on the warm side? (Hotter then normal.) Have you looked for the cause, if the transmission cooler was factory installed there really shouldn't be any reason that would make the eng run hotter. A automatic trans with problems just might.. I would search out any...

    Wiring project

    I'm thinking he doesn't like seeing it either. Skyline I'm seeing a bunch of butt connectors with out shrink tube on them.. Ya may want to seal those up before ya put the wires back into the wiring loom. There is a product called liquid elect tape you can brush on to seal those connections.

    Neutral start switch

    Anyone ever mess with the neutral start switch on the M2 106 ? Reason I'm asking is after the QC was installed mine stopped working along with the cruise control.

    $200 Reward for information

    Understood.. Doesn't mean they own the place. At one time they needed a U.S address to work/operate here, so they rented floorspace from Alumni Bunk. They use to have a sign that says quality truck repair also.. Lol (I couldn't resist) If it really matters I know a guy that lives in the...

    20 or 22ft Box for Straight Trucks?

    Rarely does my 22ft ever get 10 spaces on the floor. So a 20ft would handle what? 8 spaces? Stack 2 pallets and your fine. Go with what you want, can afford and don't worry about what ya could have had. With your thinking and a 22 ft box will you always be wondering, What if I had 24ft?

    Front end wander and shake ....

    Knight glad your getting a handle on the truck, But I wanna ask you and trust me I don't want to stress you out.. But those grade 8 bolts that got replaced, are those actual frame bolts? There is a difference. Frame bolts typically have a larger shoulder that gets squashed into the component...

    Ride height

    I assume you found your problem then. :D You said something about leaving a 1" board in place, and that doesn't seem like a lot of board/wood to support the load. It might be best if you where there with various shims to insure/check you get the best piece of wood in place. Just my opinion but...

    Big Truck Tire Balance

    Regardless of how you balance your tires its still a good idea to use centering lug nuts on a hub piloted wheel. As one of the articles state there is a gap between the wheel and stud. The centering lug nut takes up that gap and centers the wheel to the hub. I use 3 per wheel and leave them in...

    Mbe engine air brake compressor ?

    Knight did ya use a stethoscope to try and pin point the knock? Taking a fast look at mine it does look tight coming out and going back in... Extra set of hands for sure would be needed.. Seems to me a bearing noise would be there all the time not just under a load... Once the AC stops pumping...
