    Bad Brake Booster?

    The pedal taking a good bit to press could be where I put a larger master on it when I put the 2008 disk brake axle in it. I seen a lot of people say a larger master is needed so that's what I did. I believe it's the F-SuperDuty master

    Bad Brake Booster?

    Ok so I put a new booster in and things are a lot different. The pedal is pretty firm I have to press on it a good bit but I can keep pressing harder and it starts stopping faster and faster. After letting the truck sit I have about 1.5-2 pedal presses left, considering I had no presses after 20...

    Bad Brake Booster?

    Ok so I did that test except I only waited about 30 seconds to pull the check valve off and there was no air at all. I actually think I can hear the air leaking out from inside the cab it seems to leak out in about 15 seconds

    Bad Brake Booster?

    Couldnt get that extra cap off so instead i used a tee which went from the vacuum pump to the block with the gauge there. The results dont look good, it was bouncing between only 11-13in and when i shut the truck off it went to zero in less than 10 seconds. I made sure it wasnt a bad hose...

    Bad Brake Booster?

    I didnt test that. Should i hook it up to the vacuum pump, the brake booster or both. Could i just hook up one of those handheld pumps to the booster to check it.

    Bad Brake Booster?

    So after replacing the other wheel bearing on my truck i took it for a test drive and discovered i had no power brakes. Pedal was hard as a rock and i had very little braking. I did push the caliper back in some but i dont think that would cause it would it? I tested the vacuum pump and right at...

    Best centrifuge

    The higher the temp the shorter it can stay in? So instead of heating the waste oil before going into the fuge should it be mixed with gas first, Can i use heat and gas for maximum cleaning. During the warmer months i had planned on using 100% wmo and 85 or 80% during colder months.

    Best centrifuge

    What is the absolute best filtering centrifuge. USFILTERMAXX has a centrifuge that gets up to 10k gs i imagine that would be really well filtered. Is there any other centrifuge thats better or is there an even better process for filtering the oil. I want as clean of oil as possible so ill have...

    Best wheel adapters for 99up rims

    The adapters will just be on the front so it wont be subjected to the same weight as the rear. I have a bunch of measuring tools at a machine shop that i can use to check how accurate and well made the spacers are before i put them on. There are the 80-90$ chinese spacers and then there are the...

    Best wheel adapters for 99up rims

    Who makes good wheel adapters to go from the 8.6.5 lug centric 97down, to the 8x170 hub centric 99up. I seen a lot of people recommend these steel one but 500$ for 2 is just to much for me. Are they any good ones in the 200$ or less range.

    Power steering smell

    So i just put a new power steering pump and steering box in my truck and for some reason after running it for a bit the power steering smells strongly of fluid. Theres zero leaks anywhere. The cap seal is old so it could just be the fumes but it didnt do this with the old pump and box. Iv turned...

I also wanted to test it for lubricity, Iv seen a few people say that transformer oil isnt much of a...

    Fuel pump for wmo

    Got the holley red installed and it flows more fuel out the schrader valve than any other pump iv used so far. Interestingly it seems my other fuel pumps were good i guess the filter in the tank came apart and clogged the pickup tube as no fuel was flowing at all at first. After taking a fuel...

    Fuel pump for wmo

    It seems my carter fuel pump is already dying so i was wondering what the best pump would be for use with WMO. I found some scavenge pumps that i imagine would work very well but there a small fortune, so i was hoping to find something a little cheaper. How do the holley and walbro pumps do with...

    4in vs 5in exhaust. Yes i know another one.

    Yea, I'll be welding it together. I'll take a look at the x mat. I keep going back and forth trying to decide to either restore this truck or go with the 99 and newer frames but I'v already done so much work to this old truck I might as well continue with it. If I do all the sound proofing to it...

    High clutch pedal effort

    I ordered a new clutch fork if that doesn't do it the only things that'll be left is the pivot ball, clutch/flywheel, and the throwout bearing. Everything else will have been replaced. When I do the clutch lever I'll try and spray the input shaft down to clean it and throw some new grease on it
