I wasn't actually serious... But it is interesting some of the things they have listed on there

That's why I posted it. There is a lot of stuff that goes through that auction house.

Dido Inc. in Dorset has one, a few towns have them on some loan program. They are capable of a whole lot more weight than nameplate allows. I don't know if you can legally increase the weight they are registered for.

Mil Spec is generally a Half to a quarter of actual functional capacity.
Tandem even single wheel trucks quoted at 5 ton, beds sized accordingly as that 5 yard without side rails, Never challenge the suspensions of them. Same truck commercial manufacture rated to 20t easily. Capacity charts I suspect not revised since WWII or Korea.

Is this where the expression " tight as a drum" comes from?

 

[DMiller]

Nope but sure fits the occasion!!

May be too new a series for what you have but generally are all similar
Will most likely be a Torrington Style Thrust bearing inside the bearing head, these are NOT Ball Joints. Grease worms eat these up.

DM, I must say I didn't believe grease worms were real until today:




The driver side thrust bearing was getting pretty loose, so I decided it was time to do it (last year I did the passenger side, driver side was still fairly tight at that point). When I pulled the upper kingpin that little guy was hiding in there, no joke.

Still couldn't get the drum off but managed to apply $2000 worth of parts anyway.

 

[DMiller]

A suggestion
Cannot put the memory to any specific point in time or company was working on.

Remove ALL the studs to remove the drum keeps popping into my head.

 

[materthegreater]

It's worth a try. But I can't say I'm too anxious to tear it apart that far again!

The kit part number is: 2606229C92
It comes with new connector bodies and terminals and shrink tube. I only ever replaced the thermistors and reused the old connectors with a 100% success rate.

I finally have a chance to replace these thermistors. Do you happen to know how much refrigerant this system takes?

 

[mekanik]

It takes 36 ounces. or 2.25 Lb's. If you climb up on the right front tire and look down inside the HVAC air intake you should see a cabin air filter. I would replace it if it looks dirty.

"If" it looks dirty? Haha it was nasty. Thanks for the tip, I'll order a new one.

Before I saw your reply, my friend at the auto shop found a chart online that listed 1.88 lbs for 7300 models prior to 2007 and 2.25lbs for 2007+. So we put 1.88 in it and it seems to be working for now, I guess I'll know next time I use it on a hot day.


Thanks for your help, it's always appreciated!

My next crazy idea for this truck is adding a trans temp gauge. I found this on eBay:





If I can find the correct connector wire, it looks like it'll go right into one of the blank spots in the gauge cluster:


I don't expect it to be plug and play, but if there is a temp sensor on the transmission, would it be possible to program this gauge into the system so it works properly?

 

[mekanik]

I have never installed one. depending on your transmission it may be plug and play. The transmission temp sensor is internal. The instrument panel will get the transmission temp from the J1939 data link.
