After the engine is warm, placing the truck in park results in the idle slowly creeping up a few hundred RPMs. When the engine is cold it doesn't do this. I've been told this is a sign of air leaking into the IP. Considering when parked for a little bit there is air coming out the return line...
Getting ready to do a whole bunch of cooling system upgrades and repairs and one of the new parts is a HMMWV crossover. The one I ordered is basically a brand new take off and in excellent condition. The thermostat part number is 12559337. The CUCV thermostat that I ordered has part number...
Got my m101a2 Vin verified �� trailer brakes started jerking when coming to a stop so I iess it's time for a new, o erpriced shock absorber for the surge brake.
Found a label on some packing tape

MFR-1P117
That is the part number for the bracket on the M105 trailer. ****... guess I'm going shopping again...
I got this supposed M101 rear stabilizer leg and I'm starting to doubt its really for an M101. First off its about perfect height when fully retracted but that's it. Secondly the inner bracket with the pin to hold the leg up when it is stowed is too tall to fit between the rail. Is this really...
I think my rear railing barn doors are a bit off or something. The driver side panel doesn't have any notches cut in the locking pin hole, preventing the pin from the passenger side gate from going in fully. Is this normal or is my passenger gae funky?
Recovered an M101A2 from a local private seller today. He had quite a few sitting around and let me piece together the wood sides and boughs onto the best looking but bare trailer in the lot. Looking forward to restoring it!
Cant find the Monroe 32283 shocks anywhere it seems. Oreilly's can get KYB 344428 but they're the same price as the Napa 76992 at $50/each. Anyone got a line on some less expensive shocks?
Took the oil cooler lines down to a hydraulic shop and had them install new rubber hose. They had to cut and weld new fittings on the metal fittings to work with their crimps I guess, so they did that, installed some nice goodyear rubber hose, and then I guess they hit the fittings and tube with...
I pulled the lines, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought it would be from reading all the threads about them. Just rolled under on a creeper and popped em off with a crescent wrench. The metal bits look to be in good shape (like, haven't been touched since they were installed 30 years ago...
Today I went to leave from work and found about a cup of oil on the ground under the front of the truck. Odd, since there wasn't anything under the truck when I left the house this morning. Turns out I have a pretty hefty leak from an oil cooler line, so today I added about a quart of oil and...
I use stanadyne lubricity formula because it's cheap and a little goes a long ways. It's also approved by VW for use in my car so that's a factor as well. Honestly though, if I could get 100% biodiesel I would run a 2% mix of that with every fill up. It beats out all the additives as far as...
I'm almost positive these are what are used on the MEP-810 PDP's. They work great, and they're compatible with standard cords so you don't HAVE to use their connector, it just wont be sealed. I'd go with these if at all possible.
Picked up a second spare rim. Going to work my way up to a full set and then clean them up and paint em!
Later on I sat in my CUCV while broswing steel soldiers, saw your post and though "I really hate tapatalk. As if it wasn't annoying enough when you were browsing on mobile, now it ruins the...
