My 85 has a plexiglass front dest sign window, and it is horrible. It expands and contracts so much that any sealent I have used cracks or pulls away, so it...

Those two 3/4" tubes that go up through the top of the engine compartment are drains for the airhandler. I tugged and tugged on mine till I figured out I...
I just added a GM one wire alternator at the PTO and separated my 12V chassis system totally. I thought I did a write up already, but can't find it. Here are...
Adding a 12v alternator - like Chris and others did - is a great idea - The RTS 12 volt regulator does a VERY POOR job of keeping the lower 12 volt battery...
Hi Pete, Your right that combination 12/24 volt system can be a problem. That is why I always liked the 12 volt system in my Eagle. When I started my RTS I did...

Take a grinder with a cut off wheel and cut those tubes as close to the top as possible from the engine side. I have taken 2 A/C's out and neither of them...
I've taken out several also. My method of choice has been a cold chisel with a face the size of the flats on the [to big for any wrench in my toolbox nut] and...
The grinder with a cutoff wheel works well. One gotcha to watch out for - The right hand tube is kinda over the alternator. When I cut the passenger side tube,...
Yeah, They were the drains. I got the assistance of my son and we were able to cut them loose with a sawzall. I had already removed the coolant lines from the...
Just a side note, I choose this method over the equalizer due mainly to cost. Since I did all the work myself, already had some welding cable, had an extra...
Your righ the vanners are big money. I was lucky to pick up 6 from Jimmy Diesel for $ 50.00 each. Wulf ... From: cpeters1@... To:...

They do sell glue at Home Depot just for it. Just ask in the paint department, they will show you, you will need a claulking gun to apply it. I've have also...

I prefer R-Max insulation - alum foil one one side - silver coating on the other - very high R rating - available at GOOD building supply centers (the kind...
ooops - forgot to mention - just spray the foam - then the ceiling and touch the two together - it's instant and permanent tap with a small 2 x 4 block and a...
I just used Liquid Nails. I figured I just needed to keep it in place until I put up the ceiling. I used the same stuff Pete recommended to glue up a light...
how do I go about taking the unused air lines out or how do I cap off the air lines that will not be used, also at the front bay there is a bunch of air lines...
I have to ask, what unused airlines???? I like the KISS principle, so I tend to remove most of the unused stuff. I dewired a whole bunch of stuff. I...
Please - If your going to do any airline work: Please buy "DOT" fittings - IIRC they are required by DOT regulation for any vechicle air suspension or air...

Good point Pete, no offense. Actually in thinking some more, I think the only thing I ever used from the H/W Store was a plug. Typically I reused stuff from...
No offense intended, however a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, and ANY connection in the air system is ultimately linked to the supply source...
the air lines that I thought had to be deleted are the door and stuff like that how did you cap them. 1 at the wheel chair lift 1 at the front door.?????...
