The only thing I hear is a possible rocker arm taping. It seemed to stop when it warms up. Sometimes hydraulic tappets do that. Typically it does not become a bigger problem than that. e

brake lockup If the brake shoes are adjusted so close to the drums that they drag on the drum they will lock up. The lining material will expand from the friction and they will act like you are stepping progressively harder on the brake. Until they stop you. I have seen this 100s of times...

Use on public streets sticker I work on cars and trucks for a living. I happen to be working for an 85 year old Iowa farm boy, and WW2 vet! He gets up at 5:30 and works on cars/trucks 7 days a week. I worked for him in the early 70s too. A very fine man. It just occurred to me that the "tag"...

If you really want to use 12v bulbs Radio Shack sells digital voltage regulators. Use one for each bulb. If the regulator alone can't handle the amperage the regulator can control a Selenium Control Rectifier that can. The finished assembly will be smaller than a pack of cigarettes. Cost...

When I had a similar problem it was loss of fuel pressure to the IP. You must test the pressure at the pump. I would not be happy with pressure below 3 psi. I like at least 5 psi. If pressure is adequate, at the pump, the rest of the fuel system, upstream, is working correctly. e

What is an S280 shelter? Is it one of those that have the Gichner proprietary hook up? If so I have the mobilizer for it... I think. Send me a pic of the connectors on the box and I can tell you if what I have should work. I am near Tysons Corner Center in Va.

When the govt started charging "real estate taxes" actual ownership of real estate ended. By their charging tax/rent you don't own it anymore. When you don't pay your rent they throw you out and get someone who will. It is exactly the same with "ownership" of real estate. It's called economic...

If I remember correctly that is the Roosa-master/Stanadyne injection pump. They are prone to several types of internal failures. One of the most common is a plastic ring attached to the fly weights in the governor assy. It serves as a shock absorber. Typically tiny pieces of it get stuck in the...

Great info and pictures from jstier . My cousin has been making bearings for nearly 30 years with American Roller Bering in NC. I have background in metallurgy myself. A "simple" bering is actually quite complex. After reading this I'm glad I didn't buy an a3. e

There are industrial suppliers that specialize in bearings and seals that may be able to get you the parts fairly cheap. There is one here in no. va. that has bailed me out many times over the last 40+ years. Recently I needed a special bearing called a "cam yoke roller". It is a special type...

After you have driven the truck until it reaches operating temp the hoses to the "cab heater" should be hot. If they are not hot after verifying that both valves on the 2 hoses are open then the "heater core" could be plugged up. To clean this stuff out you will need to disconnect both hoses...

I did bid against you. But I previewed it first. Your unit will not be useable for a while. The hydraulic lines from the jacking pumps are rusted out. The hydraulic cylinders will need to be removed and cleaned as they are very rusty. It appears it was being repaired, with non OEM parts, when...

I will be out of town from next tue. till the following wed. Unless you get your EUC back real soon there should not be a scheduling prob. Justin may be able to work with you on that anyhow. I don't have any mil manuals on this unit. I have meddled with mine and think I have the operation...

I have found SILVER BERING SOLDER takes to copper based alloys very easily. It is available at Radio Shack.

Moving your new toy I bought one there. The tire that is low appears to not be flat. There is air available across the street from that drmo. When you go out the gate at 77 rock av. there is a gas station just to your right. The little shack has air. I am near fairfax circle. I could move it...

There is always some one that wants to run your life for you. Like the members of an HOA. It seems to me that HOAs attract the worst stalin like types around. I believe you can put a restriction on your land title that will prevent it from being brought under the influance of an HOA...

Just a note to surplusHQ. On the ship I was stationed on the starter on one of the 4-71 diesel gens wouldn't work. The electricians considered closing the cross connect switch to see of the alternator would act like a starter... or not. No one was sure if the gen would be destroyed... or not...
