    M1089A1 diagnostics help

    Hey folks. I have a late 90s M1089A1 that is throwing a check engine light and derating when this happens. I have a DPAIII Plus and the software but am wary of trying to connect it to the truck as I don't know where to connect it. The kit has a lot of adapter cables and the ICE...

    M35 Front Axle Seal Replacement

    I had good luck with a very beefy slide hammer/seal remover borrowed from the local parts shop. Worked great on 2 different front seals. I do like Cattlerepairman's solution. No hammering required.

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    Thanks everyone. Next project, a bobber with a longer wheelbase (not a shortie). My final project will be a crew cab with A/C and power steering...it'll probably kill me, if I survive bobbing one!

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    Tires are never as easy as you think they will be. I wanted to go with A3 wheels so I had a stock setup that wouldn't run afoul of DOT. I found a nice set of wheels, cleaned up the beads and installed new o-rings. I guess I was naive to think a 250lb tire would be straightforward to mount...

    Nice. Remote Reservoir and power bleeder in one unit. I just might do that on one of my keepers. Already have A/C and 4 new hummer seats laying in wait for a crew cab i plan on building and this would be a cool addition.

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    Got the fender on and the bed off. The bed had a LOT of sand packed in all the nooks and crannies so I found a good excuse to buy a pressure washer. Word to the wise: Work on your brakes while the bed is off. What a difference because I flipped the hubs while the bed was off, but reworked the...

    First Deuce renovation - with pics

    Thanks. It's actually done already. I painted it the current green/black/brown camo scheme. I'll get some more pics posted soon. It's almost as hard to organize the pictures as it is to flip the hubs on these rascals.
