That's interesting. I was considering one of the laser pointer style heat detectors. Never even thought about a thermal imaging camera.
Wheel seal was what I was kinda thinking. I'm not sure how to check the hub oil level, but will google it. Thanks.
Thanks. I'll check that. The drum area temp did seem pretty hot, but didn't compare it to the other side, but will.
Recently purchased a 33k gvw International 4300, single axle. 2004, about 175,000 miles. Had oil changed, fuel filter changed and chasis lubed....
I own three International 4300's. 2004, 2005, 2008 I try to do some of the mechanical work on them, but my knowledge is limited. I have learned...
Happy... busy day... but played with it for about 5 mins before I had to get rushing into deliveries... I screwed the little brass screw down a...
I honestly can't say I tried that... but I will. I was excited by the progress of getting anything less than 3 when I lengthened the antenna to...
Thanks MsJamie, I shortened it and it got just as bad as it was, and I took the screw out completely, and it got just as bad... put the red cap...
Ok guys... SOME progress!! 1. Moving my hand up and down the coax shows very little SWR change. 2. This particular Firestick antenna has the...
Just for conversation, since I can't do anything this moment... Would a Wilson trucker 2000 be much better than the 4' Firestick? Maybe even...
Quick question... Will it harm my radio talk on it the next few days while I try to figure this out? It's a Gen Lee, with the "Big Talk" and...
Thanks Vintech... This particular antenna has the (screw assembly?) on the top end to shorten or lengthen it. Sorry I hadn't mentioned that, but...
Jesse James, I don't doubt you're correct about the bad ground, I just can't figure it out (yet.) Since I have that external ground to the...
Thanks guys... Pics below, hopefully you can see them. 1. Meter has to be calibrated. I calibrate it on FWD, and then read it on REF. 2....
Well, no luck. Next plan... change out the connector on the base of the antenna? I tried a completely different coax... same result. Turbo... I...
Thanks guys. I'm going to disconnect soldered wire from battery. Check swr. Fasten soldered wire to frame. Check swr. Remove soldered wire,...
thanks for the answer, but I didn't explain well... I have a wilson 5000, but the whip is hitting every darn limb in this town, and I drive in...
One other thing... I didn't use an antenna "mount." I simply drilled a hole in my steel headboard, attached the coax connector to the...
Yes, the battery seemed a simple connect, but easy enough to move. I took my grinder and took some paint off my steel bed where the antenna is...
Well, just for kicks, before I started cutting on the whip I checked the SWR just to see if I was in the ball park... it was about 1.8. I cut it...
