I got a new truck today

[Jim Martin]

for the price of a lid .a mallet and some advice.......

it is a whole new machine .... I fired it up tapped on it some turned it off and spun the lid

fired it up tapped the lid.....and it pop ed down and my lift went higher then it has ever gone before

the whole machine sounds different and .most of all hardly no water in the lines........... It use to drown my leg when I would disconnect from the RX and now it barley drips...................

I called A/T and told them not to send another lid..I am going to leave good enough alone and just add the mallet to the tool box...............

Thanks for every ones help.........

5/8" garden hose?

 

[Jim Martin]

[adamh]

That dang things been leaking the whole time? That sucks What is your lift set at? I set mine at 18.5 ish

 

[Mikey P]

lmao


I knew it!



Do like I do Jim, put your ass/hip against the driver's side wall and pretend like you're gonna give the lidded tank a sniff of your arm pit and shove that baby down tight.


My god, I bet you gained 20º right away.



I bet thats why the seal was all screwed up... All that air blasting it away...



You goof!

 

[Jim Martin]

Goof ??......................how was I to know............

I could here the air .I could here the spring..I could here the ringing in my ears...........best to my knowledge this was normal because this is the way it has always sounded........

I have never messed with the tank..to my knowledge is wasn't giving me a problem...........every few days I would take off the lid and clean it and hose out the tank and keep going.......Until the gasket fell out....

I was always questioning the lift but it was not a real problem because I am still getting great dry times .........

:?

 

[Ron Lippold]

[Jim Martin]

Greenie set me up not to long after I got my truck........

[Mikey P]

Set the loner up with 018 like Wolfman.

No wonder you never got any walk ups, you've been soaking people's carpets left and right...

You got a reputation around town as the big truck pad soaker.

[Jim Martin]

lol......... another perk of living in the dry desert...........

no matter how they run............ unless you walk in with a rug doctor

you still get damn good dry times............

 

[Greg Loe]

No wonder you haven't been bragging about you dry times.

 

[Jim Martin]

Funny thing is I was always getting great dry times.........

so even screwed up it was doing good.............

 

[Greenie]

that is called "air to spare" it's a nice luxury with a #6 blower.

 

[Al]

Maybe now you will get some walk ups

 

[The Cleaning Artist]

Priceless!!!!



How much did that cleaning rig cost? and you have to put the lid on with a hammer since new? Naw no thank you.
