Q: no you are just blinded thats all. i drove a c70 triaxle dump in the later 70s while going to college and it had over 150k on it when drove it and it was still going strong and it had a 60k gvw too. i also knew a old man that did some part time hauling back then he was retired and had a 58 c60 single axle dump chevy with a 6 banger and a 8 speed 4x2 and he regularly hauled 8 ton of asphalt or gravel with it and did fine and it was nearly 20 years old and still stock and ran like a fine watch. lol!! sure it did it but at twenty miles per hour top speed with a load!! i grew up on a farm we grew wheat and oats i also helped neighbors bring in the grain. most everyone had a truck of some sort. loaded few trucks would make the speed limit within a few miles on the highway unless you could find a long down hill grade. i drove beet truck for my sister a couple of years back 427 with a 5 x 4 transmission. ran that thing to the floor for 4 miles with a load it topped out at 45 miles an hour. the neighbor hauling beets off his land across the road would blow right by me with his diesel powered truck. gas is fine if you seldom pull a load. if you pull a load often once you go diesel you will never go back! greg .

it is not the same system budd and saying that it is just makes you look foolish. if what you say is true then the only way that you could compress a brake caliper piston back into its bore would be to open up the brake bleeder and we both know that you do not have to do that it may be a good idea but not a requirement. nobody else in the group agrees with you here on this point including max so that alone should tell you something. the principles of operation are the same tom and in basic design they are the same.. did you know that some hd clutch systems use a 2 pound residual valve like a disk brake to reduce the possibility of air / water contamination it uses a slightly heavier return spring to compensate for the pressure. and if the pressure exceeds this extra 2 pounds this system will still vent it off to the reservoir just like the ones without it so what is your point the same as before that the system is not a perfect system its reality. its made by man not god. lol you are kidding right we are not talking cutting edge stuff here and it doesnt have to be perfect to work properly. now whos backpedaling not long ago you werent allowing for variances every system was exactly the same. btw you never had a master cylinder piston that couldnt retract properly have you like i reminded john the system is already screwed up. it is not a perfect text book scenario tom. first of all budd you dont know what in the system is screwed up. and neither do you. the op didnt say. i never claimed to know but i do know that the to bearing did not fail due to the design of the system as he suggested. agreed. there was a flaw somewhere between the pedal pad and the flywheel. it could be and probably is just a bad bearing and nothing more it happens. yep. had a freshly rebuilt alternator freeze up in the parking lot at the parts store right after i had exchanged it for my defective one. btdt. it could also be operator error or just excessive usage as we discussed. maybe there is something else wrong with the system and if so then the air would again not be the cause of the problem it would be the defective component and the problem would exist whether there was air in it or not. wrong tom. if the system is defective air could be the problem since air in the system is a problem if it gets into the system. if the system was defective in a way that forced it into a fully closed mode the problem would still happen even if there were no air in the system so the air itself is not the problem only a contributing factor. which expands more when heated equal amounts air or brake fluid as for foolish appearances tom that would be anyone that doubts the experiences of a older more experienced person and discards them out-of-hand for the simple reason that person is older grayer more experienced the answer isnt found in some text book disagrees with some popular answercorrect or not or . . . . pick as many as you want. just because you are older does not mean that you know more and to think so is foolish. well tom being younger sure hasnt stopped you from thinking im less intelligent trained experienced skillful ad nauseum than you in the past. i am not all that much younger than you are budd and in some things i do know more than you but i never claimed to more about everything because that simply isnt true. if you think that you really know more than i do about everything then you are just being both ignorant and arrogant. and what is your attitude saying about you this comment of yours is very arrogant in itself in that you presume to dress another person down. the fact you have admitted in the past to not having much experience should be enough to suggest that you listen and learn from others with more experience. when did i say this and about what. sure there are things that i dont have a whole lot of experience with and the same goes for you. yep for one ive never given birth to a child. the problem is tom that youre unwilling to accept that another person could have more experience / knowledge than you. it didnt happen to you its not in the manual therefore it cant be true is the way you see things. i dont dismiss you or your input out of hand but that does not mean that you are always right. i dont claim to be right all the time and yes you have dismissed my input out of hand but be that as it may i do have experiences you have not had will probably never have since you no longer work commercially in automotive repair. this instance is one of those times. just because i know longer do this for a career doesnt mean that i still dont work on vehicles. now i do it for myself and to help out a few friends so the experiences still keep comming just not as often. as for your question about when you said how little experience you ha

im sorry we keep forgetting that if t-bone says it cant happen then it cant happen. what were we thinking . . . we must remember that tom is the worlds greatest living mechanic and knows all sees all and it cant happen unless he wills it. like how you fixed your ford tom btw what year ford was that -- budd cochran warning!!! poster still believes that intelligence logic common sense courtesy and religious beliefs are still important in our society and might include them in his posts. do you disagree that an improprerly bled system is working improperly do you have proof that an improperly bled system cannot apply more pressure to a in this case static to bearing do you have proof that it can as you both know and are counting on it is impossible to prove a negative but since you seem to be now making the claim that it can happen a positive how about backing it up. both budd and i have seen cases where a hydraulic clutch system has applied the to bearing due to an improperly bled system. no you didnt. you saw a system that had other problems causing the to bearing to be applied due to expansion of the air in the system. ive seen cases where the master cylinder pushed air into the system the slave cylinder sucked air int othe system and where they both leaked. so what who said that could not happen and what does it have to do with air alone causing the to bearing to be applied you deny that these systems undergo reality based events by claiming what weve seen cant possibly happen. that is in no way what i said spinmaster. i said that air in the system alone could not cause the to to be applied. you made the claim that its impossible back it up. simple physics maxi such as equal and opposit reactions. the fluid or air in the system cannot apply pressure to slave unless it can apply and maintain equal pressure to the master and in an open system it cant. weve both merely suggested that odd things can happen despite what the sytem design may allow or safeguard against. could you possibly backspin any faster i dont have proof of many things that ive seen because i didnt sit there and say a group of jackasses will ask me about this in the future i better take pics put arrows and circles on them document it have it notorized and hermetically seal it so itll be fresh when i pull it out of the file cabinet. oh lol i see the people that dont agree with you are just a group of jackasses. what vehicles did you see this happen to and how did you fix them do you know every possible situation problem result solution to a hydraulic system resorting to the law of infinite possibilities now are we i must say max you do make me laugh. resortign to it hell nature does it all the time as do mechanical things. ive seen things happen that i cannot figure out why a certain problem caused it. i just know they are broken so i fix it and the odd event goes away. if you dont know what caused it then how exactly did you fix it sadly you seem to not have anywhere near the experience that a bunch of us do so you dont understand how strange some problems are and why those problems cause really odd things to happen. thats sad because you liek to come off like you know all the possible problems symptoms or solutions to any given situation. and like most humans there is no way you could you just dont want to admit it. get real max the only one here afraid to admit to error or not knowing between us is you. i never claimed to know everything but in this case i do know that air in the system cannot in itself apply pressure to the to bearing. if there are other problems then it could be a contributing factor to the to being applied but that is it. in this case where you think you know all there is to know about hydraulic systems on vehicles i know for sure youve never seen or tried to bleed a set of kelsey-hayes four piston calipers on an a-body mopar. if you had youd know that trapped air sometimes never finds its way out. and yes there is a reason for it. then i guess that these calipers could never be used on an a-body mopar becuae according to you and budd you would not get very far before that trapped air would expand due to the heat and lock the calipers lol. but hey feel free to think that there are no problems beyond what the text book and the fsm describe. i said no such thing spinmaster. i simply said that trapped air alone could not cause a failure of the to and nothing you have said yet proves that wrong. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

same system john same problems and possibilities. thats what im trying to get t-bone to understand . . .there is no difference in operation or function. -- budd cochran well john i disagree but then you werent the one that bled the system and restored the freeplay on that rented 20k pound forklift were you the clue for me was that it got progressively worse as the drivetrain warmed up. one thing has to be remembered about anything made by human hands; it can do things it isnt supposed to do. cant speak of forklifts but any automotive hydraulic clutch system is open to the reservoir once the clutch pedal is in the full up position. any expansion of air or fluid will simply push the volume back into the reservoir. this i8s bgasic high school auto shop i. none. by design there is supposed to be a small fraction of a inch clearance. this was seen in the mechanical systems as your pedals freeplay. when air is left in the system the air can warm up and expand causing the fingers to ride the bearing. not likely since there is no closed end to allow pressure to build. once the master cylinder is in the retracted position the entire system is open to the reservoir any expansion of the fluid or entrapped air will merely push that volume of fluid back into the reservoir. when the clutch pedal is slightly depressed the piston covers the mc port to prevent pressure from back feeding into the reservoir. .

jerry if i may . . . i suggest you look at airride technologies. the most common cause of air suspension failure is a leak in an improperly installed line. helper bags can be deflated to a couple pounds of pressure just to avoid chafing. -- budd cochran nathan w. collier wrote i have no idea what youre referencing. do you have an online source available to show/tell me a little more about it i dont recall what they were named or called. take a look at the truck at the top of the picture here.... http//www.lancecampers.com/ . see the long shocks connecting the overhang to the front of the truck. i used to hate airbags but have since come to believe they were beneficial. please explain. all the air bags done for me was give me a harsher ride when unloaded. you can pump them up to increase payload but think about what you are really doing. they are nothing more than hard air spacers between frame and axle and nothing to cushion a rut or pot hole when you hit it hard. besides just when you dont need it they will blow in a turn or start a slow leak that you cant patch and you will be going down the road like a crab. i just didnt have any faith in them for the long haul. the springs that nosey mentioned should work well especially if you leave the camper on 24/7 but i took mine off all the time and by simply removing the four separate end shackles on the springs i was back at stock ride and the overload springs were still bolted to the axle. worked for me. ive since decided to fine one even with the end of my truck bed so that extending my hitch wouldnt be an issue. then the 8.5 foot or even the 9.5 foot model would work well for you. .

i would recommend the factory tow mirrors from dc. put them on my 2000 2500 4 years ago. they are the best out there so far. fred we have recently bought our first pickup a 2001 dodge td ram 2500. not our first turbo saabs but our first diesel and first pickup. it is an awsome truck! we plan to buy a slide-in camper and want towing mirrors. i found online two sets which look pretty much the same. they have two mirors and fit or replace the existing manual plain jane mirror. one seems to fit over the existing mirror pickupspecialties.com and the second seems to replace the existing mirror premiermotoring.com. in both cases the finished product looks much the same with an additional mirror beyond the existing one. both are around $70 delivered. i was thinking more of a mirror which would extend when towing. i was thinking of replacing the existing mirror with such a thing. suggestions on places to buy mirrors thanks charles .
