Get the whole M151 kit instead of just the heater. You'll use most of it, you'll have a couple of parts left over, you'll have to add some (or all) of the ducting, and the fresh air feature will not work. (You'll not miss it, even recirculating you get more fresh air than modern vehicles on...

They don't have an integrated steering pump, they require the addition of a pump, which of course then could be used for whatever you wish within it's capacity. The hydraulically powered brake booster does contain a "backup" motor that is used to make that one last stop if the engine stalls...

To me... The truck is worth about two thirds of what it was worth before you bobbed it. But like above, they have gone upwards of fifteen thousand... Neither is wrong, it just depends on who is looking. What's it worth to you? Figure your cost, your time, your cost and time of replacement...

The answer to this will depend entirely on your plumbing... The air trapped here does not need to be removed. It is not part of the pressure system, and in fact in an original arrangement there is supposed to be air there. The pressure system doesn't start until just below the original...

According to that rule of thumb the top end failures aren't head gaskets so much as floated valves, bent pushrods, and the collateral damage from pushing broken valve pieces through a cylinder and if equipped, on through the turbo. Lower end failures are more rod/bearing failures, because the...

That's worth saying again.

Have you considered (or maybe even done) a repeat of this test with DOT 3 and power steering fluid? I say that because many brands of the two come in bottles that are identically shaped and colored. That makes it a common thing to have happen. I have also been unable to duplicate the "sludge"...

I won't say every bolt... But every driveshaft bolt on mine APPEARS to be grade eight and uses the nuts that Speddmon linked to. I don't consider myself an expert but I have SOME specific knowledge of fasteners. I am kind of beginning to wonder if the "upgrade" to grade eight may actually be...

You're on the right track... All the 550's and lower do have shocks. The air sprung 650's do have shocks. The "spring sprung" 650's that are more in question here do not have shocks. But the spring pack is a very different setup than the 550 and lighter models. Usually (I do not dare say...

If somebody more knowledgeable than me interprets this differently I'm all ears, but it looks to me like a standard grade five bolt with an ungraded crimp lock nut. 5306-00-752-1001 7521001 U S ARMY TANK AUTOMOTIVE COMMAND AMSTA-IM-MM 19207 80P1 DIAMOND REO TRUCK CO 56442 913491...

Modern stuff has fuse boxes and breaker panels. Fire prevention is good. Deuces have one step better, You can burn one to the ground and still drive it home with a push start. One breaker on the engine side of the firewall. One breaker contained within the light switch. One fuse at the fuel...

Good advice. The first thing I would do is wander around the rest of the vehicle. You might get lucky and find another backwards one on the opposite side...? I'm not familiar with these tires, but I believe that they are radial construction? If so, according to pretty much all tire...

You don't say how long after shutdown. There are a couple of places where a leak could make this happen immediately, too soon, or take a bit longer. Mine is about ten to twenty minutes after the engine is shut down. I think it leaks a touch at the governor or that control circuit, because...

I have had very similar, but not at this site. Surveys that look like they belong there because they take the site name out of the URL, and questions that seem logical, yet are like a fortune teller, they fit anywhere. A fellow at work sorted it out for me, the issue was indeed my computer and...

I think it could be made to work... I also think you'd be much happier with the results if you were to grab a rear leaf suspension from a bone yard civvy truck, which would make a much cleaner installation and I think would offer a much better ride quality, as well as addressing your concern as...

Air forms a pocket in the top of the radiator, and in the intake. To check, remove a plug or sensor on the intake right behind the thermostat. With a full radiator, you should get coolant. The thermostat is kind of not what you're picturing, it's full flow in the open or closed position...

Only the parking brake would be "air over mechanical spring"... Quite right, but since all conventional brake systems end in mechanical braking, that part is dropped from the nomenclature and assumed to be there unless otherwise stated or implied such as hydraulic retarders, regenerative...

The very short version of the FDC is that it "turns down" the fuel rate for fuels with a higher energy content. Bypassing it makes it "sense" lighter fuels, thus a maximum fuel rate. It is based on viscosity, which is what it actually measures... Bypassing it gets the maximum fuel rate, since...

No, not quite... Newer civvy trailer's require the emergency line to be hooked up (steady pressure) to release the parking brake (maxi-brake, spring brake, etc). Once that is released, the service brakes (what you use while driving) is activated by a pressure signal from the service line.
