Re: Headlight - Parking light Question
Parking lights ONLY come on when the headlight switch is on and the instrument light switch is all the way down. The headlights do NOT come on in this position. The headlights only come on if the instrument lever is off or instrument positions. Parking lights do not come on in service brake.

Re: PTO removal
It can be removed insitu with some minor difficulty. You will need to know the secret curse word of the day while doing the job. It cannot be correctly installed on the vehicle. You will not be able to accurately set the backlash. If all you are doing is removing one and putting a blanking plate on,...

Re: Spare mounting plate vs. channel ?
My 53 has the U channel. But who could tell if it is original to the truck.

Re: Oil Bath Air Cleaner Gasket
There needs to be a gasket under the intake extension tube to the intake elbow and one on the upper side of the flange to seal the fording shroud. (If you have the fording kit.)

Medium thickness paper gasket. Mine was Garlok but you can't get the material anymore.

Re: Oil pump prime?
I made an oil system pressure charger for new engine startup. An old refrigerant container. Filled with the oil charge and pressurized with air. Connect to the oil gallery and fill the engine by running the oil through all the passages and let it drain to the pan. Then crank it up.

Re: Stiff Steering
And I always thought removing the steering wheel was the hard part! You could try offset box wrenches.

23/24 interface
Well, another year has passed with constant driving, moderate maintenance and no restoration. I like this hobby! 2024 will probably end up being the year of the drivetrain replacement. Everything is built and ready for installation from radiator to rear axle assembly. Just gotta do it! Y'all have a ...

Re: Oil Pressure Sender Plumbing
I love to be the one to say this. There are good pictures in the manuals. They may not be in the section you would think, but they will be there. (Nearly every weird detail is in them, you just have to spend time and go through them.)

Re: Rebuilt axles 13 Times !!!!
Axles might not be up to the task. 3rd member is plenty tough. Unless driving style is, well, not good.

Re: NEEDED: Winch worm Gear ?
They've always been expensive. About $800 USD each worm and pinion. MU is heavier duty than the stock LU winch. Finding a used winch with good gears is always the best bet
