It's air shift front

Where can I get more info on tire scrub, axle bind, ect. Saw a post and some nasty pictures of broken axle parts on another thread that got me thinking about my truck (post #3898 from forum "what did you do to your deuce this week")....also how do you create links to posts, I have found it...

Dot 3 versus Dot 5 On the 3 vs. 5 debate, you guys touched on a curiosity of mine, I would like to hear more input. What is involved in the conversion? Do you need special seals and hoses for one fluid or the other? I did a little research when I first noticed my brake leak, only because Dot...

I knew I had a gallon in my head for some reason. I didn't realize you already answered the quantity question. Thank you. I checked almost everywhere in Keene yesterday and everyone carries the same generic brand 8oz bottles for anywhere from $12-20. So bulk is definitely the way to go. I am...

err...meant 2 quarts....been a long day, and a Monday, not doing conversions very well tonight. Yes I was thinking 1 gallon originally as a gut feeling for having plenty on hand and some extra but then second guessed myself. Thanks for the input.

sugested Dot 5 inventory Got my NAPA rebuild kit on order and lots of blocks of wood for cribbing, I plan to check all 6 brakes while I am tearing into it. Hope to start this weekend and will take photos to document. I am going to order some Dot 5 from the Iris Industries vendor referenced in...

added some info to my post 2 or 3 posts back about LH and RH thread the way I have always understood it in my automotive experience, but I notice the rules seem to be opposite for my Deuce?? what gives? p.s. "Quadjeeper" don't let the challenges beat you down. As a few others have already said...

RH and LH thread Not a historian but have a story that follows this thought process I can share. I had a 49 Pontiac Silverstreak when I was a teenager because I thought the old led sleds where cool (still do, just cant afford any toys that don't serve a purpose now) and the right side of the...

My 86 M35A2C has the exact same data plate on it with same stock # and same contract #. Have had truck for about 8 months. Bought in Springfield, Mass private sale and bought it to use on my wood lot. Joined SS to get some maintenance tips and stuff but now getting a little interested in the...

Dodge done onto Deuce Wow that was a 2 week PIA!! Finnally got the bottom of my vibration in my other work truck (95 dodge 3500) I am convinced that full time jobs just get in the way of getting things done!!! Arrgh. Haven't had time to fix breaks on Deuce or even go for a paddle with the...

Yes, yes. It is parked. No time till my Dodge p/u is done, removing air bags (suspension) and looking for a driveline vibration. Again on the deuce, I had been checking the brake fluid regularly with no discernible drop in level (4 oz over 6months didn't seem like a crisis) Now that I...

Copied this from a service manual for an antique motorcycle I used to work on. It was along time ago but I remember playing around with the points and condenser assembly quite abit, getting a good ground on parts to be grounded and getting good insulation on the parts that weren't was the...

larger pics think I figured out the zip file thingy. are these better??

If I post a pic on one thread and it is relevant to a different thread is it better to create a link to the post with the picture or repost the picture in the current thread or does it matter? How do you create a link in a new post to an existing post or thread?

Also any tips on keeping track of members who have posted useful to me stuff? I have been reading a lot of stuff about my deuce last 2 days and I am subscribed to all the threads I have started of course, but as the threads get longer and I branch out more to read stuff from other people I am...
