Emergency brake

My emergency brake has trouble engaging, when I pull the handle fully to the rear, it will slightly disengage and allow the truck to roll forward. Any ideas what part I need to replace or look at?? Length of pull is about 5 inches. Thank you.

Front bumpers

I'm looking for front bumpers that aren't dented or bent. If they need a paint job, that's no problem. Thanks Zig

Power Steering

Does anyone out there in Pinz land have a wiring diagram of the power steering units for the pinz. I have the power steering on the 710 and it worked flawlessly until last year. I can only find one fuse but I believe there are several. I'm not an electrician but I have a good friend who is an ...

Re: Batteries

Thank you very much for your input. Time to buy 2 batteries and listen to the wife complain for a couple of days. It's worth it, I love my Pinz! This will be the third time in 21 years I've replaced the batteries.

Re: Batteries

I'm running the optima 3478 batteries. IF the back battery is dead, can I run a new AGM optima with the other lead acid battery? Or is this a no no.

Re: Batteries

Lead acid batteries with PinzSSI. I will try to trickle charge the battery closest to the tool box that's at 11.5.

Batteries

One of my batteries is 12.7 volts and the other is 11.5 volts. The engine cranks but won't start. Will the battery under 12 volts prevent it from starting? Thank you.

I lost R, 1st and 2nd gear.

Yesterday I was riding behind my house in the mountains. I had all the lockers engaged and was in low range, 3rd gear. I depressed the clutch to go into 2nd gear and it immediately felt different. I couldn't get into 1st, 2nd or reverse. I have 3, 4 and 5 only. What part/parts broke? Thank you for ...

Oil dripping from pan

The oil pan gasket is good but there's oil coming from above the oil pan on the drivers side. It's not from the oil cooler, does anyone has any ideas. I changed the O rings and the gasket of the oil cooler thinking that would solve the problem but it didn't. Can it be the exhaust manifold gasket ...

steering linkage leaking oil or steering fluid

I tried looking up the part of the steering linkage that's leaking but could not find it, it's the round part between the upper and lower idler arms. Do I need to replace the whole part or the O rings and bushings associated with it. Thanks Zig
