    2007 310SJ Parking brake won't release

    Thanks for info. I know exactly which 2 bolts and the sensor you are talking about. I just wanted to make sure there was a way to bypass just Incase it acts up while out in traffic. Don’t need to have one lane closed and the other blocked with a non moving backhoe.

    Reo trucks

    A company I worked for in PA had 2 Diamond Reo single axle dumps. One was a 1973 and the other was a 74. They both had the 6 cyl gas "Gold Comet" in them and there was nothing remotely related to a "Comet" about them:)!! They had 5spds with splitter. I think they topped out at about 52, 53...

    Weight of asphalt?

    That formula probably will cover you for a tear out, but it would be a bit on the heavy side for putting it back in. Asphalt is about 110 to 112lbs per inch per square yard. 8 to 10 lbs might not sound like much, but over a large area can throw you off quite a bit when it comes to bidding and...

    Trailer brake hook up help.

    I have had similar grounding issues through the hitch and ended up rewiring all my grounds so that trailers are grounded directly through the trailer plugs. It has eliminated most of my electric brake issues.
