    Front axle boots

    I would have cone to the one piece kind but I rebuilt the front end a month ago and I would hate to tear it all down again. I will have to live with these for a while I guess

    Front axle boots

    I recieved my new boots from saturn Wed and I decided to install them today. These boots are sewn and riveted at the zipper. The drivers side went smooth but when I went to the other side, I noticed a small tear on the lap that covers the zipper ( no big deal) but when I zippered it up, one...

    Low air pressure light trouble

    The buzzer worked fine, shut off at @ 60psi. The kit has a light for the dash, also has a t connector which when you unplug the buzzer ,you put that wire to the single connection side, then you use the wires supplied in the kit to connect to the buzzer and another to the light. Thats about it...

    Low air pressure light trouble

    I just installed a LAP kit in the deuce to replace the buzzer and I am having some trouble. Buzzer worked fine but I replaced it for a light as to not scare my grandboy or deer at hunting camp when I flip the switch. Problem is, the light stays on all the time. I am not losing air so i assume...

    Master Cylinder Warning!!!!!!!!!

    Pulled the trigger and called Saturn and bought another MC ( gov surplus not aftermarket) I also took the seals of my dead MC to a Hyd shop only to say that the seals are garbage quality but did say that he doubts that every mc has these. Most likely infusion of another chemical in the mix (...

    Master Cylinder Warning!!!!!!!!!

    Desert Duece is right, I did not buy it from him and I can say that he is a stand up guy for taking up the issue. I will most likely go with a orig govt part or rebuild it with wagner parts but the seals will go to a hydrolic shop to be tested and I will post my findings. I am not trying to...

    Master Cylinder Warning!!!!!!!!!

    Just took the MC off and took it apart. What I found is the front seal on the piston is something like hard plastic. This sould be of the same material as axle seals and the like. Housing and all the hard parts are of good workmanship. I believe they skimped on the seals. Hard plastic does not...
