    what was your closest call?

    Back in the late 90's. I had a 71 AM General M35A2 w/w and no canvas (completely topless). Being in my mid 20's, I was 10 feet tall and bullet proof with my big green truck. So one hot summer night, I loaded about 15 of my best friends into the bed of my deuce with an large aluminum tank...

    Engine problems?

    Hey General, Glad to hear that you were able to breathe some type of life back into that ol' hoss. I'm not suprised that it made some racket, especially after sitting up for 10 plus years.

    15w 40 Rotella Vs 30 weight oil

    park brake

    I'll try the grease and WD40 first to see what happens. I would bet (or am hoping) that this will fix the problem.

    park brake

    Like i say, I know absolutely nothing about this. Would it be feasable to take the entire mechanism off and soak it in a parts cleaner?

    park brake

    well, i am guessing that is screwed all the way down, however this truck came from the east coast so could it be possible that the cable is rusted up??
