I relined my own parking brake using some high grip clutch lining from mcmaster. I glued the lining to the old shoes after grinding the paint and rust off the shoe. We gluing the lining I clamped up the outer shoe - liner - drum- liner- inner shoe while the glue was setting. Worked good and...

If you really feel you can't fix it yourself, I would take it to your local machine shop and have them fix it. Shouldn't take much, most likely the end mushroomed a bit and some quick file work will get the nut strarted. You probably have just a couple bad threads, you could always carefully...

I think the syntax needs to be oil AND change. If it makes you feel any better when I searched for oil change and oil AND change, this thread was first :-)

I converted to a drop side a while ago. I cut the sides off and then welded 3x3 angle to the bottom. I also added some 1/4x4 flat bar where I cut the sides off on the bed. I made barrel hinges from some 1x1/8 wall tubing and 3/4 CR for the pins. It works like a charm and is quite sturdy, I don't...

Yeah, I had to use a puller to remove the drive flanges from the output/input shafts. Once you take those off the rest comes apart pretty easily. The TM is pretty easy to follow.

Tensile loads are better than shearing loads. For steel a good rule of thumb in shear strength is half of the tensile strength. In shear you never what the bolt to actually touch the sides of the hole or you will get fretting which will break the bolt in short order. In shear the clamp load has...

I would recommend an impact gun with an extension, there are a lot of bolts to take out. You will need a 1 1/2" socket for the impact for getting the drive flanges off, the impact makes it much easier. Holding the flange can also be tricky, I bolted a flat bar to it but others have used a pipe...

I took out my air shift xfer case, broke it down, broke down a sprag xfer case, moved the input shaft from the sprag to the air shift and put it all back together in about 2 days not including waiting for the replacement to get here. I used a 4x4 through the windshield and chain fall method to...

My parking brake works fine unless I am on a steep hill... like my driveway. It also slips when working the winch hard. I would like to be able engage an additional brake so I can chock the wheels. I don't want to replace my parking brake, just give it some help. The line lock will do all of...

If one was to pressurize the mc reservoir with system pressure, would this lock the brakes up? I was thinking about hooking a 3way valve to the mc cap to either apply system pressure or vent to atmosphere. Im not super keen on line locks as I have to add several leak points into the high...

Do they drive funny with the air shift xfer case or does that not matter? I was thinking about a set for both the front axle and rear tandem.

I would like it to look similar to the attached picture from the Delta Team Decals website (thinking about using their stencil kit), would the left side say 30 5-113 FA or 30 5F113 and the right side HHB115? Are you saying that the numbers should be smaller and on two lines on the left side...

I have no idea, I am temped to call them and ask, but I don't exactly know how to get a hold of some one that would know.

I am having trouble figuring out how to mark my truck. Carnac was gracious enough to provide me with the following information below. Having no actual military experience, I have no idea how the information correlates to TB 746-93-1. I googled "113TH FIELD ARTILLERY" and I think that it is a...

Carnac, 1967 M35A2 W/W 022518107 4L7125 I bought it in Raleigh, NC - private sale. No idea where it came from or how many have owned it. Thanks

I didn't think you could get custom weight plates, I would call the DMV before you get set on it, in VA they wouldn't let me.

I've also had good dealings with Jim, I got a hold of him through a guy to knows a guy with old army truck parts.

I forgot to add, the xml's rub on the bed, I had to add 2" blocks under the bump stops to keep the tires from rubbing at full articulation.

I have both on the on my deuce at the moment, MVT for steers and XMLs on the tandems. I had XML's all around and tore the sidewall on one and got a good deal on a pair of MVT's. I haven't had any problems with either set. In the future I will replace the other remaining 5 tires with MVT's.

If the engine stalls when the wheels lock up because the transmission is locked in, why doesn't it roll start like a manual would when the brakes are released?
