Re: The Snortin' bull

Is that the bolt that holds the box to the frame?

Re: The Snortin' bull

That doesn't look familiar too me. Is your power steering the original ram style? All I have ever dealt with is the later model power steering boxes that have been added on.

It is a later gear box. I fab'd an 87' c-10 frt crossmember and suspension into the original torsion x frame ,Look back earlier in build. The gear box is mounted to a boxed frame section on adapter plate's from CPP .It must of flexed. Now I have installed a longer grade 8 bolt thru the old threaded area on the casting of gear box and torqued her down.All part's on the steering are new though the gear box was a reman.

I went back and looked at your picture and it made sense then

For whatever reason I didn't see it as the mounting tab for the box. I guess I am getting old.

Re: The Snortin' bull

No problem, Napa socket # ls6469 for frt, in the rear is used lmc led lamp boards . You must use a no load flasher with led lamps , CEC #ef32rl. And have good ground and circuits for all to work well. If you dnt change frt and rear to led you can use a standard flasher though will have to wire in led resistors at the one end to allow flash to function.

Re: The Snortin' bull

One item that has bugged me from the beginning with Accuair is that there are two mini fuse's attached right to the main control very closely wired. Even though I made the bed open to access all I just thought it would be a better inside the cab.

Re: The Snortin' bull

One detail I did was to put the bed as forward to the cab as I could .As the frame has no flex. It is one of the point's people notice alot .The gap between the cab to bed .

Re: The Snortin' bull

Hood alignment.So when I first got this truck it had the cab on the frame the rest was loose.As most of you that have been thru this the hood is a bugger to get aligned and to sit right.After a couple of hour's I finally got it . Sit's flush and flat.Latche's work flawlessly.

Re: The Snortin' bull

Some more minor electrical . I would like to put in a stereo.ONE that is Bluetooth,usb,ipod etc.Though not to be seen and there is a hole in the dash as the P.O had hacked it. And sticking with the original plan I used all the existing drilled holes in the dash as I am going to with this. Now you see it now you don't.

Re: The Snortin' bull

I used the kit from that Brothers sells. Converted my 1 speed to a 2-speed. It appears quicker than the stock 2 speeds also. It has been very good to me. I cannot remember who actually makes them off the tops of my head, but very good units. It has been tested a good bit in the Mississippi and Louisiana rains. I have had it 2 years on the truck.

Re: The Snortin' bull

My wiper motor is not made by anyone for reman.though could be restored. I chose to take it a part.It was in good shape internally .I found that a breaker point spring became weak and contacted the inside body.Shorting it out. Greased the gear drive back up and reassembled, Work's again. Ready to reinstall.
