Picked up a set of these Staun tyre deflators. Kinda spendy for what they are, but made in Australia and come in a decent leather pouch. They work quite nicely and better than using a key or borrowing @Qball stuff. Got the air down part figured out, just need to settle on the air up part of the equation...:hmm:

If you have a bike use that for setting them up. Much quicker than a 35 inch truck tyre.....


They are calibrated to be used on Tyres. Some tinkering may be required to get them to function properly on tires.

Once you set your pressures apply a drop of super glue to the lock nut threads to keep them for going out of adjustment. It has been several years for me and never needed to readjust. With all tires air down being equal I carry a stop watch for air up time needed and do mental small time adjustments based on altitude. Eliminates the need to check and recheck during your air up. Over the years many have laughed at my stop watch system but they now time there own airing up quietly.:flipoff2:
 
Getting her home. Time to start tearing her apart and see what I'm working with. She came from the factory with 1" of rustproofing!

Good note on the glue. Mine have rattled out of adjustment more times than I care to fix. Easy fix. lol doh.
 
Finished the wiring on the winch. Bracket arrived which allowed me to mount the control box on top of the winch. Will keep an eye on cooling in case it turns out i have too much stuff in front of the grill.
Then i changed the oil in both diffs. I had done the transfer case and transmission a few weeks back. What a real pain to get both drain plugs out then i remembered it pissed me off last time so much that i bought these little chaps from @NLXTACY

Nope. A spare 93 with, allegedly, 153k on it. Got the motor, trans, and transfer case for free. It spins freely so I know it's not locked up. The wiring harness is all there so that's good.

If I was going to switch motors it would be to a Mighty 3FE! :flipoff2:
 
Got the new motor home and in my garage. Thanks to @Dudleyfj40 for letting me borrow his engine hoist. Made easy work of unloading it.

So easy that I had time to take my son fishing in the ol 93. 15 min in and he gets his "favorite" swim bait caught on a log 20' off shore. 42 degree water temp. He went in after it. And sliced the bottom of his foot. Looked like a murder scene!

This is why I carry a fully stocked First Aid Kit. Because we like to do stupid sh!t!

Have you tried the "remove the valve core" method? It's cheap and fast.
