    My front end feel like it is hopping up and down thought not visible from the outside. This only happens when I accelerate from 30 mph. Once I reach 35-40 mph it goes away. Any ideas?

    my air govener isnt always shutting off at 120 and its suspossed to be preset, i have replaced it twice and the same problem keeps happening. my air dryer isnt hooked up so it doesnt blow off pressure. it sometimes builds to 130 to 140 and blows off an air line. i was wondering if its in my compressor or if its possible that trash is stopping something up. i have a big cam cummins if it helps any.

    I am restoring/customizing a 1974 International Transtar 4200 and would like to change the large steering wheel and replace it with a smaller steering wheel from a modern truck. What do I need for tools and will a modern steering wheel fit?

    I am restoring a 1978 Peterbilt 359 short hood. What would it take to change from the big cam 1 400 cummins to a 12.7 Series 60 Detroit? Also what does it take to change from budd to hub pilot wheels? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a hopefully simple question. I am replacing the dump valves on my Freightliner.
    The new one are #091210485 valves.
    I know they can be plumed to activate with air supplied,or air off.
    My truck is air supplied.
    So can anyone tell or show me how to plumb these valves?
    Thanks
