I don't know about Christmas in May, but it's definitely a gift! Thank you Gary for your tireless efforts to keep this the best place on the web for Bullnose documentation!

Gary Lewis Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 I don't know about Christmas in May, but it's definitely a gift! Thank you Gary for your tireless efforts to keep this the best place on the web for Bullnose documentation! Welcome, Jim. This one was borne out of the realization that I have a book that answers HBF84's question re the handling package but that the easiest way to answer it was to put the book on line. And, I discovered along the way that the book answers the wheel offset question. And Vaughn's question of springs. And, and, and...... As for being "the best place on the web for Bullnose documentation", is there another? At one point years ago someone on FTE said they were going to create another page for Bullnose documentation. But I don't think it ever materialized. Sometimes I tell people we have the best and the worst site since there is no other. But if there is another, maybe we have the best?

It's not about bandwidth, it's about content! Look at what people say in the 'how did you find us?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 It's not about bandwidth, it's about content! Look at what people say in the 'how did you find us?' Yes, people are appreciative of the documentation as well as the atmosphere. And, courtesy of Clifton, we now have a 1984 F-Series brochure: Documentation/Literature/1984 Literature. Or, go to the spreadsheet on the Documentation/Literature page. So now we have F-Series brochures for all years. Thanks, Clifton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some pretty good info, but it looks like I need to rescan Page 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some pretty good info, but it looks like I need to rescan Page 10. I've scanned in the documents Jim sent and added them this way: Documentation/Electrical/Alternators: Added a tab called DB Electrical 130A Test Results, and it has both the results of the tests on Jim's new 3G alternator as well as typical pulley ratios. And I added a link to that page from the 3G Conversion page. Documentation/Engines/Starters: Added a tab called DB Electrical PMGR Test Results which has the test results from Jim's starter.

Glad you found them useful Gary! I'm still waiting on my clutch from Amazon. I suppose when that arrives I'll install those components and survey the starter carnage. Starting my truck gets worse every day, when I can't find a hill to park on. It also seems my rear end needs re-shimmed, or new bearings. It's getting loose as a goose and it was clean inside when I last changed the gear oil. I still can't find any of that in Chrome, after deleting cache.

I still can't find any of that in Chrome, after deleting cache. I don't understand why you cannot find things in Chrome. I'm just baffled! As for your truck, you've worn that thing out. You need that beater or loaner and spend some quality time with your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
