I've ordered quite a few things for my Mog from EI but I'm wondering where you guys get more common Mercedes things like your oil filters and brake lines?

Does anyone have any experience with swapping R&Ps on the FDS-1807 and SUHD? A Google search indicates that 4.11s are available but are they compatible with the Detroit? In a related question does anyone know if there's an air locker or limited slip available for the 1807?

A lot of people who are evacuated for wildfires end up there too. The best technique is to wash with a strong vinegar solution, let it dry, then wash with a saturated baking soda solution, then rinse with water. Good luck. Do let it dry or you'll get a chemical reaction.

This summer I'll start building my wildland type 4 engine/camper. I don't have the TM and the internet didn't provide me any drawings so I hope you guys can help with some info. What's the length of the frame behind the cab? What's between the frame, there's gotta be a mechanism for the pusher...
