Thanks for the input. question. If the system has not been opened, should I bother replacing any thing other than the hoses and then bleed system with fresh dot 5?

Good morning all! Todsy I am reaching out for advice. I am questioning if I should replace the wheel cylinders and rebuild the front calipers. There are no leaks. I am going to change the brake hoses because they are all exposed and have gotten brittle. please let me know what you think. thanks.

Well, today was a good day! The shelter is off the truck and ready to be ssnd blasted.

Good evening All. I have taken a different direction in locating my steering difficulties under and removed from throttle. I am going forward with removing the work box to have it wet-blasted rather than try to sand around all of those rivets. I plan to lift with pipe jack stands and then...

The weather here is not good today. But, at the next opportunity will be looking at all of the suspension connecting points to look for loose or broken items. The change in direction is significant enough to have to make steering corrections both when apply throttle and releasing throttle.

I am going to do what I can when I can. I may enlist the help of the local votech.

I fully agree. It was worth trying. I do know that it will work well with small parts.

Hello all, Today I tried paint remover. Mixed results… It did soften the red paint. Still a real pain to scrape it off. Still mostly impressed with the gator sanding wheel on the sidegrinder.

I have tried the heat gun. Stripping wheel does much better. The red paint appears to be urethane. It melts as it is being sanded.

It seems my acquisition spent some time in sandy areas…

80 grit is not going to cut it. But, a gator blades stripping pad, extra coarse, will get it done. I might have to buy stock so I don’t go under doing this. Must buy masks also.

Well, this going to take a few minutes…

I have also determined that the generator does work.

I have done some digging, scraping really. Found the unit ID under the paint on the passenger side front bumper. Next day outside I will look on the other side. 3ID 703d MSB

On my M1031 the power steering pump has four bolts. One at top left is the pivot point. The one at lower left and the one behind the alternator are for adjustment. But there is one more below the one on the alternator bracket. Just below the temperature sending unit. Engine side is 15 mm for...

If anyone has a source I am looking for the TMs for the SECM.
