Does anybody have a photo of the arrangement of the shelves and racks in the back of a 710k? I have all the pieces but I'm not sure how it goes together.
Thanks!

Issue solved.

It was just a matter of adjusting the brakes. Still doesn't brake as good in reverse as it does in forward, but as many pointed out, it isn't designed that way.

BTW, pay attention the the front brake adjustment. Make sure that both adjusters are extended equally. Mine were not and I ...

By design the Pinz has better breaking when traveling forwards i.e. better breaking for the high speed direction. The Pinz has dual leading front brakes and single leading rear.

Well, I've had some older trucks that had single leading brakes both front and rear and didn't notice this issue. I ...

Don't think a saw this on the forum before.

My brakes work fine going forward but not so good in reverse.

Is it just in need of adjustment or could it be something else?

Anybody running Jake's EFI conversion and willing to share your fuel
map? I continue to have some issues and would like to see what
other owners are using for parameters.


Thanks

The whine is relative to the loading on the spur gears in the wheel drives.
More load - more whine. Helical gears where originally developed to
reduce noise in gear sets, however helical gears introduce a thrust that is
not present with spur gears, requiring bearings that can absorb said thrust ...

Five years running Red Line and no leaks.

I agree with Tom - most of the gear whine is in the wheel drives. The gears
in there are simple spur gears which will make more noise that helical cut
gears (such as those used in the transmission).

I use Red Line Heavy Shockproof Gear Oil (synthetic) in all gearboxes
except the transmission and ...

Okay, keep me informed.

I rummaged through my mechanic friend's collection of alignment tools and
found one that worked for me. It is marked "GM 10". Just Google it - there
are lots of places to get it.

Is okay to re-use the flywheel bolts? The manual seems to indicate
otherwise, but they are pretty expensive.

Got it apart and only found that the disk was pretty thin, almost down to the
rivets. Fortunately the flywheel is not scored, but I'm going to get it
resurfaced anyway.

While I have it apart I thought I might as well replace the rear main seal.
Any hints on removing the old seal and installing ...
