1950 pilothouse Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 I bought a 1950 pilothouse and it had been sitting for years. I got it running, shifts fine but there is a loud sound when I release the clutch. Sounds like something needs to be oiled or greased. Any ideas what the sound is? Quote
bach4660 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 there is a grease fitting on the clutch base (where the bushing goes), but its possible that the clutch pedal is making contact with the steel of the toeboard. Mine does that on release it is a very loud sound, I like it because it lets the pedestrians know to hurry up. 1 Quote

FlashBuddy Posted February 24, 2018 Report Posted February 24, 2018 Spray your favorite lube on it. I used white lithium grease in a spray can. It does such a great job keeping my garage door closer whiet, it should work on the truck. It did! I got rid of the final "clank" with the DCM rubber pedal seals. Quote
