    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...

    M923, long term storage, went to move.. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP on move.. WTF??

    If dual rears, could there be a rock, stuck in between tires?

    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 ??

    Help ID Wiper Flange Part

    So, you have the electric wipers.... Your little part is called "tapered splined bushing" and you can get it here (just to name one of possible sources): https://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/71/1607/Windshield-Wiper-Motor-Arm-Splined-Bushing TM 9-2320-361-24P (Aug 2006), Fig. 173...

    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...

    Spicer 3053 Shifter Shaft Cover

    The correct number is 3053 (title edited). Now, where did you get that "Eaton Fuller" from...? And what kind of issues are you experiencing ?

    Air Compressor/Opinions Please

    Not stupid - and not difficult at all...! I know for fact that AC-compresors like the early style ACDelco can easily be converted to pumping just air. Same goes for other units/brands. (See this tech article) There is always room enough to add one (plus an air tank with el. pressure switch)...

    6 on 7.25" pattern is correct, and the center hole diameter is 5.5"

    New tire option for M939 (M923A2) 1991?!

    Well, there is no such thing as a tire perfect for every application/condition. If I wanted a tire for mainly on-road service I would not choose the XZL, for sure... Price of these Goodyear tires is very tempting, since other distributors are asking almost twice as much for the same thing...

    New tire option for M939 (M923A2) 1991?!

    I don't see any reason they won't fit... Almost same outer dimensions as the stock Michelins, same rim width, on-off road service and DOT approved. 20PR L (Load index 164) is just a bit more than the 18PR XZLs : 11.000 lbs vs. 9920 lbs max. load, single
