Thanks ccmckee.

I had tried Greggs but sounds like Fleetbrake has what I need. Would not have thought of them.

Tell me about it, my sled has been sitting pulled apart for almost 3 weeks now. Weather has been nice, and now the snow will come, and it will probably sit till xmas break.

No I got it moved into the garage and the carb's pulled off, but with cutting down the tree, and having to do family pictures, and ect... Sled time slipped away.

Now that I am into busy season, I really don't see any opportunity till probably the xmas break. As I get one more day off then Bri, so the Tuesday that I am off and she is at work, is my current goal date. The worst part is even if I had it running, I wouldn't get to ride it till January anyway with how busy I am.

Buddy, I hear ya, hopefully we can find us a good deal for some suregrip parts. I sure need the extra traction today. Been missing the second wheel spinning along in the rear. You probably aready been thinking way ahead of me on that idea.

LOL, I was going to ask why you guys are all painting your Cummins engines Chevy orange or Ford red.


The Common rails (2003+) just have a factory clear coat on everything. It looks like crap, very sloppily applied & it turns yellow over time but nothing really rusts any further.
Painting an engine black looks great but it makes it really hard to track down any leaks. I don't recommend that.


Darrell, Greenline Hose & fittings here in Calgary carry those push lock air hose fittings for exhaust brakes & air bags.
I bought a bunch of 90's & 45's when I installed my accessories to clean things up.

Also you can try a compressor place. I get some stuff from Custom Energized Air:

I always use Albility Hose right off Balrow and 61st SE in the foothills industrial for anything I cant' get a work.

they made me Metric to -8 JIC fittings on their lathe and silver soldered for me while I waited, for my custom big line conversion on the old 24v. really good guys.

x2, had them do all my lines for my p-pump conversion, as well as my twins. They were able to re-use the old fitting for the turbo feed lines, instead of having to adapt to NPT or JIC.
