    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Ammonia solution will do.... Any household cleaner (with 5-10% NH₃ by weight), or buy 30% commercial and eventually dilute. Where it matters, any residue (stains of ammonium sulfate) can easily be removed with a damp towel or by rinsing off with water.

    Continue turning the engine without removing the engine - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 Diesel - Solved

    Sir, your question has been answered, already...(!) Either turn the crank (CW) at the front bolt - which holds the pulley and damper in place (takes a 24mm socket & breaker bar), or at the flexplate ring gear, in any direction. That can be done with a large screwdriver as lever, or best with...

    Spare wheel/tire combination for M35A3 with 365s or 395s without getting another M35A3 rim?

    No, for long trips or everyday usage I would not want more than 1/2" difference. But for temporary use I see no problem at all - unless you had detroit lockers installed.

    Spare wheel/tire combination for M35A3 with 365s or 395s without getting another M35A3 rim?

    I'd shop for a 12.00R20 tire - which can be mounted on a 7.5 inch rim, no problem. Their overall diameter is somewhere between 44.5" and 45" and as a spare that would work good enough. A2 rims are TT, so just make sure you get the right tube and flap, too.

    Does anyone know where i can get a solenoid shut off mounting bracket or part number for my M939A2?

    Part number 3912487, NSN 5340012712475 Here is one (rather expensive !) source: https://s1partscenter.com/brands/cummins/solenoid/solenoid-bracket/3912487 I think you should be able to find that same part for a fraction of that cost. Post a parts-wanted ad in our Classifieds.

    Manual Transmission Swaps?

    It's a std SAE #2 flywheel housing, and there is plenty of room, so you have lots of options... Besides adapting a pedal (plus pump and slave cylinder for hyd operation) you will need a manual FW and a 14" clutch disc & PP. One possible solution: the Spicer 6453 with a 0.79:1 5th OD from a...

    Cone washers! and Bizarre upper ball joint question

    To dislodge the cone inserts you need to hit the arm on both sides - not the top side of the arm, not the cones, not the studs! Try that before anything else!

    Maybe just a seeger-type snap ring ??

    LDS-427-2 dismantling issue

    Interesting! There will come a time when these blocks (without a hole) are no longer to be found, so we better learn how to fix them. Please take pictures and keep us posted about the outcome.

    Spicer 3053 Shifter Shaft Cover

    Return from where? It is only spring-loaded to the left, when engaging the 1st-rev shift rail. Out of 1st-rev and back in neutral position, it stays anywhere between center-upright or tilted to the right, wherever you leave it. So, yes, there is a lot of slope, so to speak, and it is normal for...
