Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Congrats on starting her up Matt. Air ride vid is great too! Now that it runs maybe you should put some cat nip in the fan shroud. Take care of that little demon.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Sorry, guys. No raise yet, but a promotion of sorts. I will be handling the service orders, which is a customer service deal. I will be all over the county helping customers and investigating complaints or possible leaks. I like dealing with people, and I will have my own company truck to do all the riding in. This is what I had in mind when I took the job 8 months ago!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Today, I worked on the truck a little. I fixed (sort of) an air leak on my right front bag. I had to unbolt the plate from the crossmember (fun). The leak slowed way down, but I think its still leaking slowly. I think I'm gonna order some different fittings. I also hooked up a return spring and bracket for my throttle, and put on my water neck. I also put a cool sticker on my air cleaner. I got all my stuff from ebay, but the springs and bracket I got with my autozone rewards free!

Dang, those pics are small! Sorry! On a less pleasant note, my radiator is leaking in two places. They are small. What do y'all think about stop-leak?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Towards the top on each side. I don't know, but it could have had something to do with those zip ties on the top, but I really don't tink they pinched anything. They don't even squirt out, you can just see it running down the fins.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

I like that sticker and I love autozone rewards! What kind of work do you do "Investigating leaks"? federal agent? HVAC ?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

A lot of times, careful consideration of the placement of the stickers can help control a leak..."383 HP" on an air bag may look good?
