ArdWrknTrk Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Probably because I think I need a 5/16 union:nabble_head-slap-23_orig: Dorman* has splice pigtails in both sizes. They also have a tool. Without it boiling water is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI if using a compression type fitting on plastic line, in the HVAC field there is a metal sleeve that fits in the line after you put the nut & compression ring on.

ArdWrknTrk Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Alright!!! Did you find the problem? Or just power the pump directly? Certainly makes it easy for you to get at the tanks now. 😉 That really is a bulldog of a truck. Squat, powerful and tenacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the control cable from the cab was wrapped around the brake booster and the firewall and there was a lip that wore through the cable and was apparently shorting out when you hit the button. Yeah I'm quite happy with the overall outcome at this point. I mean I barely gotten to use it at this point but it's hard to foresee much that it will not be able to do that I need it to.

Some oak side rails should help getting those springs to maybe hit the helpers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
