    Adding air to pickup for air trailer brakes.

    I'd have to pull out the scanner and read the pressure from the ABS system.

    Adding air to pickup for air trailer brakes.

    The issue in the hydraulic over air might be input pressure. It states 2,000psi. IIRC hydraulic brake pressure can be much more than that.

    Adding air to pickup for air trailer brakes.

    I've seen a few setups from hot shot drivers that have air brakes on there trailers. None seem to have automatic breaking but in stead use the column mounted air valve and just manually apply.

    Gelled? Maybe more?

    Just because the temperature is up does not mean the fuel has reached the non cloud point. You may need to wait a bit longer for the tank to warm up. Remember the more volume of fuel in the tank, the longer it will take to warm up. You can try pushing a few PSI of air through the filler neck...

    Anodizing at home

    That top un anodized pic looks like an 80% part with the safety selector hole missing, FCG pin holes missing, and it appears the trigger slot is also missing. What make are those parts?

    Are the gas block and gas tube missing. Hard to tell with the hand guard.

    P1093 code

    Filter. Even if you just changed it, start there. Filter head will usually give you starting issues unless you have a lift pump, then it could start leaking. Rubber fuel line on the driver side between he cab and the engine is a known weak point that will collapse under load.

    Help me fix the Nicktane...

    If you had a way to drill and tap the hole to intercept the angled section of the groove in the top of the head that would help minimize the air. Ideally you would want to drill and tap it at the center. Is this filter head pre lift pumps?

    Dorman body mounts dont fit...

    I did urethan mounts on the 04 and the 06. Increases cab noise a bit, but cured the beaming problem I was having. Check out dmaxstore they install everything they sell, so anything you get should fit. https://dmaxstore.com/products/?route=product/category&path=2290_1063_1422_1454

    What ever happened to this project? Do you mind sharing the specs on the "super Capacitor"?

    Lifting the cab

    If the AC compressor is on top of the engine, remove it from the engine and strap it to the hood (on my LLY I laid a 2x4 across the fenders and strapped it there) that way you do not have to vacuum out the freon. The compressor and condenser go up with the cab.

    Trailer Brakes Too Weak

    Depending on how your controller is set, it may not be pushing full voltage when the trailer is connected. With no load, the controller pushes full voltage, but there is nothing there to absorb it, so it stays up. Check your truck side plug for proper tension and corrosion on the lugs. They...

    Trailer Brakes Too Weak

    You might try taking the shoes off and cleaning them to get most of the grease off / out, then light them on fire (saw this done on youtube by a farmer on his class 8) and let the grease cook itself out of the shoes. Once the fire puts itself out, clean again. And those blue connectors are...

    Trailer Brakes Too Weak

    Did you remove the drum and check the brakes? Do you have through axle grease zerks? As mentioned, test each magnet using a compass to ensure they are activating. Also double check the axle grounds. On the first one, if you have not removed the drum to check the brakes, start there as there...

    Need parts source for boots

    https://www.siliconeintakes.com They have been around for a while. I think at one time that is where people were getting the boots needed when making their own dual turbo setups.

    What did you do at work today?

    Tom, just remind them without you, there would not be a new generation of them. Keep that bar high and make them reach for it. Keep up the good work. BTW, that bridge is 24 months behind schedule (not my fault), but still had the interstate open in 7 days as promised. Off to the next...
