Cool truck.

 

May be time for a voice call.
My phone says emergency use only unless I drive 10mi. North.
I do this twice a month and haven't called Eli.
His Dog Tuck is blind and their residence was in transition months back. Hopefully they have found a soft place to land and adapted to new surroundings well.

 

You're late bröther

 

Oof



Owie



Ouchie



Just kill me now




But I am excited to finish sorting the suspension out. Every rubber bushing will be changed

 

Nice

 

Can't hide money
U soon B squeaking like a rusty box spring mattress

 

I'm with you. One thing I've noticed it the ride quality greatly improves with all new bushings. No slop and quick jolts.

I'm so happy with that Dobinsons suspension that I thought I was going to cry tears of joy the first time I drove it.

I'm not sure I understand the bushing press tool kit. That must be for an 80 series. I didn't have that luxury when I did mine. Though it was handy to have some big sockets that were the exact size I needed to press out the old.

On the bright side, look at how much you are saving by purchasing from PS.

any ideas on where the leak could be coming from?

Only happens when the brakes are in use.

I could only find one vacuum line going to the booster?

 

I'm hoping that the new everything fixes the slop and dartiness. I know the panhards needed bushings and I'm sure the radius arms did. I got new steering components, (tie rods and draglink ends) Springs were just plain saggy and tired. Still need to find a new rear bumpstop set. I still need to get new rear lower links and upper links. But for now this should fix my main complaints. The bushing press kit is an effort to make the whole job easier, instead of finding some crap around the shop, this has every common bushing diameter found on an 80 that would need the power of a press to be done and they're designed to be used to remove and install and use a locating bolt to hold them in place.

 

Shit

Torn diaphragm or ripped inner shaft seal

 

@JKO1998 the fix is easy, I did it on a friend's truck in like 45mins. Just need a new booster, done even have to remove the master from the truck entirely to do the job

 

Shit still works, gonna run it.


I really think it’s the rubber seal things that hold the tank thing on the valve

 

It's not, that could lead to some sketchy braking if it rips more and may cause the engine to run rough. Be careful, don't get stranded or killed

 

Just to be clear


The boosters the Black circle thing and the valves the thing the reservoir sit on?






it’s been leaking since July

thought it was a bad vacuum hose

 

Yeah, booster is the big black circle, it's easy to replace and cheap AF, like $160 for a new one, not even a reman.

 

Yes the booster is the big dinner plate looking thing

 

I’ll have to see if Timmah has video.

it’s gonna have to wait, between the funeral and work next week it’s gonna be busy
